01
Poolside Pretty

If you have relaxed hair, add a little Jane Carter Condition & Sculpt setting lotion and twist your hair in several two-strand twists from the hairline to the nape of the neck before taking a dip. Once you’re out of the water, let your hair air-dry before removing the twists.

Pretty Pony

Ponytails are instant glamorizers. The difference between the perfect ponytail and a “phony” tail is the texture and the color you select.

Keep It Simple

A layered bob allows more versatility in styling. Spritz Ellin LaVar Textures ThermaMist spray throughout the hair to protect it from the heat and add Ellin LaVar Textures InstantShine for a smooth finish.

Stay Smooth

Keep it simple and easy by razor cutting the crown and tapering the sides. Then wash and wrap the hair and apply Jane Carter Nourish & Shine on the sides and back for added shine.

A Bad Bang

Layered bangs were enhanced with a track for thickness and color. Use a ceramic flat iron to create this face framing finish.

The Midas Touch

Go for the gold with warm blond highlights that aren’t too brassy. This short bob works beautifully with Mizani Beyond-Conditioning Creme Permanent Haircolor in Lightest Warm Gold Blonde.

The Big Bounce

Achieve this look with a large curling iron or by setting hair on large rollers. A bodifying conditioner, like L’Oreal Professional Volume Extreme Conditioner, will give more bounce.

Bob & Weave

Glamorous hair doesn’t have to be time-consuming—a long, basic bob can take you there. Wrap hair at night and undo it just before you’re ready to walk out the door. Style it with a rake comb or paddle brush. Use a large-barrel iron on a cool setting to create cute flips.

Well-Done Bun

Dress up your bun with a pretty satin headband or vintage barrette.

A Long Bob

Give lengthy tresses shape with a blunt cut. Sharp bangs instantly add life to simply styled hair. Use i/m Beauty Nylon Paddle Brush and dab on Soft & Beautiful Moisturizing Complex to keep flyaways grounded for good.
