A Polished Bob
The classic combination of short and straight rocks in the style stakes. Start your blow-dry with the underneath sections and work up to the top layers. Finally, spritz with Aveda Brilliant Spray-On Shine for a uber reflective finish.
Va Va Volume
Smooth doesn?t have to mean flat. Add oomph to a straight blow-dry with a round brush. Pull hair up and away from the scalp. Direct hot air on to the hair lifted at the roots and the heat will set the volume in place.
Two parts
Add interest to a sleek look with a change to your parting. Use a fine tooth comb to create a diagonal part as seen here. It?s a subtle but interesting switch that will prompt everyone to ask,? What have you done differently??
A Point of Interest
This season it?s all about the little details. For an instant and oh-so-simple update, just slide a single Kirby grip into a section of hair.
Let it Swing
Sleek hair can still have a sexy swing to it. To create movement, dry your hair in different directions. First, brush all of your hair over to the right as you dry it, then switch and brush it to the left. Remember to keep the hair dryer nozzle directing air down the hair to achieve a smooth finish.
