Calling all cropped-locks cuties: we’ve rounded up our three
new fave styles for short hair, just in time for spring dance season. Whether
you’re rocking a lob, bob or pixie, we’ve got a gorge ‘do just for you.
If you have a…longish
pixie like Julianne Hough
Julianne’s mass of curls softens up her edgy ‘do—perfect for
a fancy affair.
1. On damp hair, apply a
little bit of curling gel and blow dry in the product to keep hair in
control.
2. Once completely dried,
gently curl hair with a 3/4-inch barrel curling iron. Make sure to hold
curling iron in different directions to get gorgeous curls.
3. Gently twist, tuck and pin
back curls to create a cohesive, not crazy style—sort of in a Mohawk
fashion. Perfect for showing off the wavy texture.
4. Lastly, spray your hair
with your fave hairspray and rake your fingers through to loosen things
up.

If you have…a cute
bob like Zooey Deschanel
We’re all about the New Girl’s new ‘do. Check out the
so-simple steps, below:
1. Blow-dry
damp hair with a rounded brush and your head upside down to give your hair
extra volume.
2. With
a curling iron, carefully curl just the ends of your hair inward.
3. Loosely
bobby pin the front section of your hair behind the rest of the hair—it should
create a faux fringe. If you have bangs, make sure to keep them to the side with
hairspray.
4. Lastly,
lightly spritz your hair to keep you going all night.

If you have a…lob (that’s long-bob) like Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel’s shoulder-length style is full of texture and
volume—perfect for a slinky frock.
1. Fully
blow dry damp, clean hair upside down to give even more volume.
2. Pin
upper half of hair up in order to curl bottom half of hair with a curling wand.
Before curling each section, lightly spritz with a lightweight hair spray.
3. Repeat
with the top section of hair.
4. With
fingers, lightly brush out curls to create loose waves.
5. Part
hair in the middle and spritz with hairspray.
