Instructions

  1. 1

    Start with clean, towel-dried hair and apply heat protectant evenly.

  2. 2

    Blow-dry hair using a round brush, flipping ends outward as you dry each section.

  3. 3

    Once dry, section the crown and lightly tease using a comb to create volume.

  4. 4

    Smooth over the top layer to avoid frizz while keeping volume underneath.

  5. 5

    If desired, use a flat iron to refine flipped ends and shape hair precisely.

  6. 6

    Mist with light hairspray to hold volume and flips in place.

  7. 7

    Use fingers to gently separate ends for a natural, airy finish.

Styling Tips

  • Tease only at the crown to avoid excessive volume that weighs down the lob.

  • Use a round brush slightly smaller than hair sections for a more defined flip.

  • For extra shine, finish with a light serum applied sparingly on the ends.

  • Air-dry partially before blow-drying to reduce heat exposure while keeping natural texture.
