Summer is here…and so are these hairstyles! u-smooth + Summer Hair Trends

The Bob is Back!

Nicole Richie rocks the short, wispy bob. As one of the most requested celebrity cuts this season, she knows what works and also how to achieve the perfect look.

What you’ll need:

-u-smooth Shears

-u-smooth 1” Flat Iron

-u-smooth Cream

-u-smooth Flexible Styling Spray

Using the u-smooth Shears on wet or dry hair, cut the bob to your client’s specified length. Make sure to section out the longer wispy bangs that make the look.  If you cut your client’s hair dry, shampoo after the cut. Then add u-smooth Cream into wet hair to help with thermal protection, reduce frizz, add shine & hydration. Use a smaller round brush and blow dry the hair. Flat iron with the u-smooth 1” iron, turning the iron at the ends of the hair to create the rounded look.  Finish with u-smooth Flexible Styling Spray to set the touchable style.

Center parts are the new side parts!

Using the u-smooth Shears on wet or dry hair, cut the soft layers to the client’s desired length. If you cut your client’s hair dry, shampoo after the cut.
