To get rid of fine hair frizz, first work out whether it's static or humidity, then smooth a pea-sized amount of lightweight silicone leave-in over the mid-lengths and ends and dry with the nozzle pointing down. Tame later flyaways with a dryer sheet or damp fingertips, and skip heavy oils. Fine hair gets frizzy in […]
The most flattering octopus haircut for a round face keeps its tentacle layers past the collarbone and curves the face-framing pieces inward at the chin instead of the cheekbone. It pairs a center part with lift on top of the crown rather than width at the sides. The octopus haircut splits the head into two […]
The most flattering curtain bangs for a long face are cut longer than usual, from the cheekbone to the chin. Wear them from a side part and pair them with waves or layers at the sides, so they add width and visually shorten the face instead of adding height. Most curtain bang advice is written […]
A butterfly cut flatters a round face when the shortest layer falls below the jaw, and never above the earlobe. Long side-swept face-framing pieces should cross the cheekbone on a diagonal instead of ending bluntly there, so the layers pull the eye down, not out. The butterfly cut made its name with a bouncy, blown-out […]
To put tinsel in your hair, lift a tiny section of 8 to 12 clean, dry hairs. Loop a folded tinsel strand around it with a slip knot about half an inch from the scalp, lock it with a double knot, then trim the tinsel to your hair's length. Hair tinsel is the quickest way […]
Birkin bangs are a wispy, see-through fringe that grazes the brows or lashes, named after Jane Birkin. The most wearable versions pair them with long undone layers, a shag or a chin-length bob, cut a little longer and softer for round faces or curly hair. Birkin bangs are the fringe people ask for when they […]
An octopus haircut for thick hair works best with a short, razor-textured crown and a blunt or point-cut perimeter. Internal layers cut at 90-degree elevation take out bulk without shortening the length. Collarbone, shoulder-length and curly versions all suit dense hair especially well. Thick hair and the octopus haircut should be natural allies. The cut […]
To get rid of curly hair frizz, wash less often with a gentle cleanser. Layer leave-in, cream and oil (LOC or LCO) onto soaking-wet hair to suit your porosity, and set the curls with gel. Plop, then diffuse or air-dry without touching. Sleep in a satin bonnet. Curly hair frizz can make a great curl […]
Curtain bangs flatter a round face when they're cut to hit the cheekbone, parted in the center and blown back away from the cheeks, with face-framing layers starting 1-2 inches below the jawline. Skip blunt, heavy fringes and bangs that lie flat against the cheeks. Curtain bangs have become the fringe people actually trust enough […]
Waterfall waves are soft, loose bends that run into one another as one continuous ripple. They're looser than the sculpted S-shapes of Old Hollywood waves and more polished than beachy texture. To get them, curl the mid-lengths away from your face with a 1.25-inch wand, brush the curls out and finish with a light shine […]
