The cut: Uniform layering that follows the shape of the head.

Good for: Longish faces and normaltextured hair.

How to style: Use dry shampoo and sea salt spray on the roots. Blow-dry for volume, then use a flat iron to create big S-shaped waves throughout before applying hair wax for a sexy, tousled look.

The cut: A very short and chic Vidal Sassoon-style bob that will make you look a few years younger. To keep it from appearing heavy, the sides are cut shorter.

Good for: Squarish face shapes and fine, limp hair.

How to style: Spray dry shampoo and a sea salt spray on the roots, and blow-dry with a round brush. Use a flat iron to shape the hair from mid-length to ends in a big C shape to tame fly aways.

The cut: A Japanesestyle volume cut with airy yet defined layers to ensure the roots don’t lie flat. Hair ends are slide-cut (it’s a thinning technique) for all-over lightness.

Good for: Inverted triangular faces and normal textured hair.

How to style: Use a sea salt spray on the roots and blowdry for volume. Use a flat iron to shape the hair in a big S-shaped wave from roots to ends, and give the ends extra lift with a volumising hairspray.
