1. This edgy undercut bob features Illuminating yet versatile color throughout with hand painted and carved-into sections on the side.

Get the Look: Apply styling foam and allow hair to air-dry, flat ironing sections as needed. Work through a small amount of styling cement or matte wax to finish. Flip the style over by changing the part to reveal more robust color yet camouflage the undercut.

6. Long and lustrous layers are accented with a side part and soft curl on the ends.

Get the Look: Apply thermal guard on damp hair and blow-dry sections with an extra-large round brush. Lift up on sections to coax volume at the root and then roll the brush several times to create a bend through the length. Once hair is completely dry, mist sections with styling spray and wrap the mid-shaft through the ends around a large curling iron. Direct all sections away from the face on the sides and then alternate curl direction in the back. Once all hair is curled, run fingers through to break up the sections and then fingerstyle hair into place.
