PROBLEM
She’s concerned that her naturally wavy hair tends to become frizzy and dry, making it look voluminous all over and difficult to manage. The ends of her hair are unruly; even if she styles it in the morning, it starts to frizz out as the day goes on, and she finds “daily styling a real hassle.”
SOLUTION
Instead of forcing down wavy hair, we cut it to a length and silhouette that make the most of its natural texture. By carefully adjusting the volume and precisely controlling which sections retain weight and which are lightened, we’ve created a bob that naturally forms a subtle curve and allows for easy outward-flipped ends. We’ve also paid close attention to the texture so that simply working in some styling product brings out defined strands and shine.

This time, we’ve suggested an outward-flipped bob that makes the most of naturally wavy hair that tends to expand. Instead of just “taming” wavy hair, cutting it to suit your hair texture can make a huge difference in how easy it is to manage every day. For this look, we adjusted the volume—which is often the cause of frizz—while designing the silhouette to create natural movement at the ends. To finish, simply work a light amount of styling product into your hair to enjoy a soft texture that highlights your natural waves, along with just the right amount of texture and volume. We recommend this style for those who think, “My wavy hair will make a bob look too voluminous,” “I can’t go without using a flat iron every morning,” or “I want a stylish look that works with my hair texture.” We’ll guide you through everything from drying techniques to styling methods, so you can enjoy a salon-fresh finish right at home.
