For added waves, curl your hair with a wand in alternating directions, tousle it with your fingers, then apply a dry texture spray throughout and matte pomade on the tips.

Consider a blunt lob featuring invisible layers. Blunt bobs can often appear too bottom-heavy on thick, coarse hair, making this a fantastic option to reduce bulk, simplifying styling and upkeep.
