GIRL-NEXT-DOOR BOB: This style is sweet! The layering is a bit shorter in back than in front, drawing your eye forward. The bangs are long and side-swept, and blend into the face framing perfectly. The back is blunt cut to make it look more full. The overall effect? You’ll have a smile on your face all day!

Styling Steps:

1. Apply mousse or gel according to hair type.
2. Part hair above the arch in the left eyebrow.
3. Apply a small amount of root lift in the crown area.
4. Following instructions on the package label, apply a very small amount of Slick Works from the middle through the ends, then brush.
5. Blow dry hair almost completely.
6. Using a large round brush, finish blow drying the hair to add volume in the roots. Pull the brush through the ends, blowing from the roots to ends, smoothing as you go.
7. Use a flat iron if needed to straighten hair that has any wave or curl to it, pulling the flat iron almost straight off the ends. Don’t take it all the way to the scalp or it will flatten your lift in the roots.
8. Tease the hair in the crown area from underneath to add more volume, then smooth over the top.
9. Following the instructions on the package label, apply a small amount of Gloss Drops to the ends of the hair to make them smooth.
10. Use a small amount of finishing hairspray on the completed style.
