A happy medium, the length is cut to just graze the shoulders and then long layers are added for movement and texture.

Layer on a leave-in conditioner and smoothing balm all over on towel-dried hair. Add mousse or root lift to the roots for lift and styling spray over the top for added control. After blow-drying with a round brush, apply styling powder at the root for more lift and texture and spray wax through the layers to help increase separation, adding a pliable hold.

A beveled bob with a blended side-bang warmth was added a very fine golden highlight.

To style this timeless cut, layer on hair treatment oil and styling spray onto damp hair and then blow-dry with volume using a round brush. Once dry, smooth a flat iron through, lightly rolling the ends under. A dab of styling paste is pieced through the ends while styling powder is applied at the roots to give added lift in the crown.

Sarah’s length was overwhelming and her grown out color needed to be refreshed. Pon (Saradeth of PON International in Anaheim Hills, California) updated the slight ombre feel with darker roots and lightness on the ends by highlighting through with several shades of toasty blonde and light golden brown. He cut a better length and then added low layering for a face-framing quality. 

Alé’s hair was platinum blonde and completely grown out, showing very little shape or style.  Stylist Rita Carda (of PON International in Anaheim Hills, California) focused on the color for this makeover, taking it to a cool brown with a shimmer of lighter brown for added depth and dimension. She cleaned up the cut, providing lots of layering to frame Alé’s face and to add a scooped out, shag-like quality to the length.

Apply leave-in conditioner to towel-dried hair before blowing strands dry with a round brush. Flat iron the ends for control and then use pomade to piece through the ends. Add shine spray and finishing spray over the top.
