Adding several small bubble ponytails to lengthy hair introduces detail and texture. This would be classified under festival hairstyles. You could incorporate colored rubber bands to add a splash of color too!
Hairstyles that stand out can signify various meanings to a range of individuals. For some, unique hairstyles appear avant-garde and express their inner artist. For others, a different hairstyle might simply represent a minor adjustment from their usual look. We’ve compiled a selection of diverse styles to spark your creativity. Whether you choose to play it safe or embrace the unexpected, there’s a distinctive hairstyle for you to experiment with, regardless of your preference!
#1: Chic Asymmetrical Style
I would definitely describe this look as a copper and edgy long bob cut. My favorite part of this look is the haircut. Creating the right texture and shape with a good cut is what makes it so enjoyable! My advice to clients considering this look is to think about their lifestyle and if they will be able to maintain their hair.
When having shorter hair actually requires more styling as opposed to having a longer length. This cut can look great straight, but fun beachy waves are always my preferred way to go! This style is excellent for making that dimension really pop along with the texture the haircut gives it!
#2: Blonde Ombre Highlights on a Mermaid Haircut
If you enjoy laid-back styles, check out this mermaid haircut featuring blonde ombre highlights. The image depicts a look with an earth-tone foundation. Brightness was infused into the natural balayage for added dimension. It’s simple to maintain this style. It complements various hair textures. To keep your hair vibrant and maintain its length, schedule a gloss and trim every 12 weeks.
#3: Long Black Hair with a White Money Piece in 90s Grunge Style
Opt for a striking 90s grunge vibe by sporting long black hair with a white money piece. If you appreciate color blocking, the most effective approach is to create a strong contrast between shades. A platinum or grey tone will complement black beautifully. Ensure your hair is lightened to a soft yellow to serve as a perfect base for platinum hair.
#4: Upside-Down Braid
The vibrancy of pink balayage enhanced this upside-down braid, creating a captivating look. Maintain a refreshing appearance while showcasing a unique design at the back of your head.
#5: Sleek and Textured
Unsure if you want to style your hair with curls or keep it straight? Embrace both options! Try Sachajuan’s Straight and Shine Spray for heat protection and lustrous hair. This look is suitable for all face shapes and hair types. It works particularly well on medium to long hair.
#6: Stretched Texture
Discover a stretched texture hairstyle. Opt for a one-length perimeter cut with subtle graduation if you’re aiming for a long style with volume. The ideal technique for elongation is utilizing a diffuser. Position it above your head to maintain the integrity of the curls. Consider using Afterworld Organic Moisture Lock Curl Serum.
#7: Choppy Layered Bangs: The Iconic Shaggy 80s Look
Make a statement with a shaggy 80s hairstyle featuring choppy layers and bangs! This nostalgic style is bound to attract attention wherever you go.
#8: Varied Hair with Casual & Simple Style
I would characterize this hairstyle as casual and simple. My favorite aspect of it is the length. My recommendation for this haircut is to use products that achieve that messy and simple appearance. My favorite go-to product is Oribe’s Dry Texture Spray.
#9: Long Hairstyle with a Skunk Stripe
Here is a long hairstyle that features a skunk stripe. Fashion enthusiasts are currently showcasing the skunk stripe trend. This color block technique can accentuate your face and highlight your wonderful haircut. With its asymmetry, this design works well on round, pear, and oval face shapes, bringing harmony to your features.
#10: Elegant French Braided Low Ponytail
An elegant French braided low ponytail is a wonderful way to elevate your standard ponytail. The added intricacy of a loose French braid can make your ponytail sophisticated enough for any celebration.
#11 Uniquely Textured Curls
These medium-length tapered curls provide a lively and voluminous style, ideal for displaying natural waves. The gentle frizz introduces a hint of texture and movement, making this a low-maintenance choice for individuals with medium to thick hair. The warm brown-blonde hue complements a range of skin tones and enhances the face-framing layers, delivering a flattering and engaging appearance.

Embrace a feminine take on John Travolta’s iconic character in Greased Lightening! This look is ideal for oval, round and heart-shaped faces. It complements various hair densities. For enhanced separation and definition, opt for Onesta’s Play Paste.
How to Style:
- Prep damp hair with a volume-enhancing mousse.
- Using a small round brush, dry hair away from face.
- Using a medium hold paste, define and separate style by raking fingers backwards through hair.
- Finish with a strong hold hairspray.
#14: Chic Feathered Hush Cut
If you appreciate hair with movement, explore this chic, feathered hush cut! This light and airy hairstyle showcases a medium length with layers softly framing the face. You can opt to add a fringe if desired. Your stylist will razor cut and air dry your hair for a stylish, modern appearance. Remember a trim every 12-16 weeks is essential to keep the style from becoming too heavy.
#15: Lob-Style Box Braids
Box braids remain one of the most fashionable protective hairstyles. A box braids lob style (long bob) is definitely in vogue. Request your braider to incorporate some lovely string or yarn details. This style complements black women with square or round faces as it stretches their necks and provides a more slender appearance. Enhance it with vibrant hair accessories to create a playful and distinctive look.
#16: Elegant Swept-Back Wet Hairstyle
The elegant wet hairstyle is uniquely sophisticated. We recommend this look for anyone who seeks extra flair and enjoys wearing their hair down. You can effortlessly create this style at home. Start by curling your hair. Next, brush your hair away from your face to achieve a wind-blown effect. Secure this style with a high-hold hairspray such as Paul Mitchell’s Freeze and Shine.
#17: Bold Undercut with Artistic Flair
This contemporary androgynous haircut maintains a distinctly feminine touch. It’s both structured and playful. My favorite aspect is how it can shift according to moods, and the bursts of color that create depth and texture truly captivate me.
If you’re considering this style, it’s important to remind yourself of the time commitment involved. Many believe short hair requires less upkeep, but it’s actually quite the contrary. This style demands texture products and shine to ensure the hair remains fresh and polished.
#18: Various Hairstyles for Face-Framing Highlights
This hairstyle showcases an incredibly effective face-framing long wavy look that softens a square face. Additionally, the blonde strands positioned next to her face effectively brighten her appearance and accentuate her lovely facial features.
#19: Elegant Halo
This charming hairstyle is a delightful way to keep your hair away from your face while still allowing it to be worn down and VIBRANT. Prep hair with Davines’s No. 9 Structuring Mist for long-lasting curls. This style will complement all face shapes and hair types.
#20: Ponytail Volleyball Hairstyle Featuring Braids
To elevate your ponytail, consider trying something fresh. A pull-through braid offers a beautiful fall shape while keeping your hair tucked away. Enhance this volleyball look by incorporating a scalp braid into your hairstyle.
#21: Textured French Bob with Bangs
Although you may think a French bob is a simple look, this more textured style with bangs and flipped ends can be customized to round face shapes. You must take into account the shape of your face when selecting any hairstyle. For round faces in particular, you could add more layers that can truly enhance the structure of your features. This look offers movement and texture that makes it contemporary yet still practical.
#22: Voluminous Shaggy Hairstyle with Bangs
Elevate your look with a voluminous shaggy hairstyle featuring bangs. I recommend a face-framing cut for those with long hair seeking a refresh. If you prefer a short fringe, start with lighter strands at the eyebrow, gradually lengthening towards the cheek. This silhouette enhances most facial features gracefully. Opt for textured medium layers throughout your hair for added dimension. You can scrunch dry for a tousled effect.
#23: Blonde Dimensional Style
This look was designed to add depth and contrast while enhancing her haircut. I appreciate the blend of brightness with a softer blonde, which allows for a more seamless transition to her natural color. My favorite aspect of this style is the placement. I can manage depth and contrast by varying the spacing and positioning.
Styling would require no more than a volume spray at the roots, a smoother product on the ends, and a round brush.
The color and cut allow the hair to move freely. The highlights framing the face bring brightness to any skin tone. While it may not fit into the “wash-n-go” category, a 15-20 minute blow-dry would really elevate the look. I would suggest this style for fine to medium hair seeking additional body.
#24: Mohawk Bubble Braid Hairstyle
Try this striking Mohawk bubble braid for your next updo. If you desire a simple style that lasts throughout the day, this is the one! To ensure it stays put, use a strong-hold finishing spray.
#25: Defined Balayage
Q&A with the creator of this style, Samuel Mackmin
Hairstylist @ Coho Hair in Perth, WA
How would you characterize this look?
What I appreciate about this look is how the color truly enhances features around the face. Just like contouring your face with makeup, I believe hair color can create a similar effect!
My client had maintained her natural hair for years without color. Instead of coloring her entire head, we focused on brightening her around the face.
Any tips for someone thinking about it?
Depending on the darkness of your hair color, be cautious about going too bright with the lightness, as the contrast may become too pronounced and less organic.
I styled the hair using a 1 1/2-inch curling tong from ghd, and curled the hair away from the face before gently combing the curls out with a wide-tooth comb. I finished with a dry oil spray and texturizing spray.
#26: Volume & Movement
The modern shaggy look features relaxed texture and numerous layers. A full airy fringe area with multiple internal layers creates flow and fullness. My best advice is to consult with your stylist about the length you wish to maintain, as it’s crucial to the technique used. Ask your stylist to demonstrate how to achieve the lived-in look for effortless styling.
#27: Compact Pompadour
This hairstyle is for individuals with a strong sense of style. It is bold and perfect if you want to stand out. I appreciate when they seek something innovative. This hairstyle is often associated with men, but why shouldn’t it be for everyone?!
Additionally, consider how you envision styling your hair on a daily basis. The cut should reflect your personal lifestyle. Consult a skilled professional for guidance on your new look.
#28: Ultimate Messy Shag
Blow dry hair then generously apply hairspray to achieve a breezy wind-blown look. Ask your stylist to incorporate bottleneck bangs for the perfect shaggy hairstyle.
#29: 90s Hairstyles Featuring a Center Part
The iconic 90s long bob hairstyle with a center part is an everlasting choice that radiates charm. This adaptable style suits a range of hair lengths and textures, allowing you to showcase your individual features. The center part promotes symmetry, accentuating your facial structure and highlights. Whether your hair flows long or boasts a stylish bob, incorporating a center part can elevate your look with effortless sophistication. You only need to devote a little time to appear and feel stunning!

#33: Long Layered Body Wave Perm
If you’re looking to breathe new life into your hair or simply want to experiment with a different texture, you might consider a body wave perm with long layers. This style not only provides a natural appearance, but it also requires less maintenance when the appropriate products are used between visits. For speedy drying, I recommend employing a salt spray or applying a curl mousse and drying it with a diffuser. This can also enhance the body of your hair.
#34: Layered High Stacked Bob
Consider trying this layered high-stacked bob if you have thick hair. Reducing the fullness in the back is an excellent method to eliminate unwanted bulk and enhance volume for an ideal profile. Be sure to inquire about the best styling product for this look to effortlessly style at home.

#36: Stylish Wavy Cheerleading Hairstyle
If you prefer to keep your hair loose during competitions, this stylish wavy hairstyle for cheerleading is an excellent option. It looks great for photos, and you can easily tie it back later. To achieve this hairstyle, use a one-inch curling iron throughout your hair. Then, apply a generous amount of professional-grade, medium-hold hairspray.
#37: Wavy Blonde Ends
Consider a lengthy blonde hairstyle with wavy ends. Large waves through the tips of your hair offer a soft and feminine touch. It’s beneficial to perform a blowout and then use a 2-inch curling iron to achieve this look. Steer clear of firm hairspray if you desire some flexibility in your hair. You don’t want it to feel sticky. Aim for a hairstyle that can be brushed through while maintaining a soft appearance. Be sure to utilize heat protection, like Oway Thermal Stress Protector, to reduce damage.
#38: Chic Pixie Cut
This pixie cut style presents a stylish contemporary blend of shape, hue, and texture overall. The haircut features short layers on top, exceeding the typical classic pixie, paired with pointed pieces on the sides. It appears even more contemporary when enhanced with an ash blonde tint and this particular design.
This trendy pixie cut style is versatile. It suits all hair types and face shapes. Feel free to experiment with your hair while styling. For instance, you can create emphasis by adding texture to one side or pulling it forward, by forming spikes or by trying anything that flatters you. Additionally, you can achieve this trendy look by utilizing products like dry wax or cream gel to maintain the textures and ensure a flexible appearance.
#39: Mid-Length Hairstyle with Fluffy Long Layers
When looking to introduce plenty of movement and flip with your layers, ask your stylist for a butterfly cut. Be mindful if you have finer hair, this can make it seem less volumized. It helps to do a disconnected cut for finer textures. Round layers work wonderfully for all-over layering.

#41: Distinctive Vibrant Caramel Foilayage
Q&A with style creator, Ariana Garcia
Colorist @ Ramirez Tran Salon in Beverly Hills, CA
How would you describe this style?
I would describe this look as a vibrant caramel foilayage.
Any advice for someone contemplating it?
This can be a low maintenance color. It is a fantastic color choice for dark to medium brunettes that still want their hair light and bright, but don’t want to be too blonde.
I tell my clients to always use salon quality products (sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner) to ensure a beautiful, lasting color.

#44: Stylish Mid-Length Cut Featuring a Silver, Thin Money Piece
Achieve a chic mid-length cut accented with a fine strip of silver hair money piece in front. Incorporate streaks of silver to highlight your face as you begin to notice hairline grays. This look will beautifully contrast with your existing dark to black-brown hair. Keep in mind, a mid-length cut with body is especially flattering for those with narrow jawlines, including inverted triangle, diamond, oval, and long face shapes.
#45: Diverse Personalities
This style will complement all face shapes and hair densities. The long blonde stick-straight hair is truly unique.
#46: Mini Side Plaits on Curled Locks
Try mini side plaits on curled locks for a distinctive new look. I adore braids as they come in many styles and are perfect for casual and special occasions. You can create mini plaits in either French or Dutch braid techniques.

Consider the hairstyle, a blue disco half-updo accented with green face-framing highlights. Embrace this modernized 90’s style with the twisted butterfly clip rows. The style is contemporary, featuring a wavy textured soft curl and the use of vibrant, updated color applications. Twist your hair back and shape it into two buns at the back for a chic festival hairstyle.
#48: Half Updo with Viking-Inspired Medieval Braids
The trending Viking style is easy to incorporate into any half-up style. If you want to add a wavy texture to your hair, combining braiding techniques can capture the essence of the medieval and Viking era. This style features a double French braid through the crown, a mini fishtail, and braids of various sizes.
#49: Stunning Dark to Reddish-Orange Ombre
If you’re in search of a striking color, I recommend opting for a vibrant hue. If you’d prefer a more subtle approach, consider a gradual method. The mid-lengths and ends seamlessly blend into a darker root color. Reds and oranges stand out beautifully against a darker backdrop. My best advice is to utilize a professional color-safe shampoo to maintain your color’s brilliance and vibrancy for an extended period.
#50: Styled to the Side
Showcase your natural curls with this look by gathering all of your curls to the side. Maximize your curls with Aveda’s Curl Control. It truly enhances curls and helps manage frizz. This style is suitable for all face shapes and types of curly hair.

Q&A with stylist, Ryan Pettitt
Top Stylist @ Coast Hairdressing in Bournemouth, Dorset
How would you characterize this look?
This is the layered lob, a hairstyle that Wella is now embracing and including in their latest collection.
This is the ideal haircut if your hair is not thick enough to pull off a lob. The front graduation will create the illusion of volume and thickness.
Any tips for someone considering it?
If you are someone that faces the challenges of fine hair, this is your style! It is flattering, easy to manage, and perfect if you often wear your hair up. The shorter lengths beautifully frame the face.
Make this cut your own with a fringe, bangs, or a sweeping long fringe!
#52 Unique Hairstyle: Lady Samurai Bun
This stylish updo, referred to as the Lady Samurai Bun, features a sleek, high ponytail wrapped into a structured, voluminous bun. Perfect for formal occasions, it showcases a polished appearance and refined elegance. This style is particularly well-suited for individuals with thick, straight hair, offering both height and an eye-catching silhouette. A potential downside is the necessity for strong hold products to keep the look intact throughout the day.
#53: Textured Bob
Q&A with hair stylist, Nicolas Flores
Hairstylist @ Sally Hershberger Salon in Los Angeles, CA
How would you characterize this style and what do you love most about it?
I would characterize this as above-the-shoulder textured bob. I tend to add a slight angle in the front for a more edgy look.
What products do you suggest to maintain and recreate this style?
I always love encouraging clients to try and recreate my styles. The key to this look is starting with great products such as the Sally Hershberger 24K Wave Spray and a water based pomade. These products work together to add grip on your ends and create separation, making the hair look a bit more lived-in.
What type of client would you recommend this style for?
I feel this look could work on pretty much anyone. It’s an easy, low maintenance haircut that literally can be worn air dried. More and more clients are coming in requesting this short length. It’s the new “It Girl” style!

Hairstylist @ Uplifted Salon in Columbia, MO

Looking to achieve a retro beehive appearance without the necessary length? Experiment with this adaptation for a distinctive hairstyle that offers the stylish illusion of a beehive from the front.

#56: Romantic Heidi Braids
Want to express your romantic, bohemian flair? Experiment with this charming style, with or without floral accents! Try Aveda’s Force Control for a strong yet flexible hold. This look suits all face shapes and hair types.
#57: The Jellyfish Hairstyle
Try the jellyfish hairstyle if you want a contemporary spin on the mullet. Jellyfish haircuts blend a mod bowl cut with a 1980s mullet look. This hairstyle is stylish and fashionable but may not endure for long due to the high maintenance shaping schedule. If you’re contemplating a jellyfish cut, now is the moment to go for it!
#58: Conquer Gravity

- Apply a liberal amount of styling wax.

#59: Beautifully Layered Tight Curls
A beautifully layered tight curl pattern is so stunning. A round layered cut will give you uniform layers throughout the cut that follow the shape of your head. Don’t forget how much hair shrinks when you cut curls. Ask your stylist to be conservative if you’re trying to keep the length. I advise a dry cut on tight curls so you can see the shape as you go.
#60: Stylish A-Line Lob
Q&A with the creator of this style, Kat Baghdasarian
Master Stylist @ Beauty Lure Salon in Roswell, GA
How would you describe this look?
What I love about this look is that it gives the client the best of both worlds! It is edgy but girly at the same time. There are movement and body in the back but the length is maintained in the front for a nice flirty feel! The color and highlights bring dimension and add volume to any client who may have a fine hair texture.
Any advice for someone considering it?
The A-line bob does require some maintenance and styling product. To achieve the smooth a-line blowout, I used Redken Velvet Gelatine blowdry gel. Finishing product is Redken Triple Take 32 hairspray. It is not a get-up-and-go kind of style and the layers will need to be round brushed to sit properly.
#61 All Styled Up
How to Style:
- Starting with dry hair, create a diagonal section from just behind one ear to the opposite corner of the forehead. Clip section out of the way.
- Divide the rest of hair into two sections. Backcomb both sections vertically.
- Smooth both sections together and twist into a large French twist that starts at the neck and ends at the top of your head.
- Secure French twist.
- Take front section and backcomb at the roots.
- Sweep hair over to the side and arrange as desired.
- Smooth sections together and secure with hairspray.
Product Recommendation:
For a strong hold hairspray with tons of shine, try Moroccan Oil’s Luminous Hairspray Strong.
Face Shape and Hair Type:
This style will work for all face shapes and those with medium to thick hair densities.
#62: Elevated Curly Styles
Consider this enchanting updo for your next evening outing when you seek a unique hairstyle. This look complements all face shapes and hair types. For styling, try Aveda’s Air Control for a versatile and workable hairspray.
#63 Charming Half-Up Cascade for Formal Gatherings
This charming half-up cascade is perfect for a formal gathering, combining the grace of an updo with the allure of flowing locks. It’s especially flattering for oval face shapes and works best with hair that boasts volume and length. A subtle tease at the crown adds height while artfully placed strands frame the face, giving a soft, romantic appeal. A possible drawback could be the need for touch-ups to maintain the style throughout an event. For upkeep, I recommend a flexible-hold hairspray and a few hidden bobby pins to secure the half-up portion discreetly. This style is a lovely choice for those with thicker hair wanting to achieve a balanced yet glamorous look.
#64: Subtly Asymmetrical
Love angular hairstyles? Explore this angled blunt bob with a side bang for a striking look. Try Kevin Murphy’s Body Guard for heat protection and sleek locks. This style will be ideal for oval, heart, and oblong face shapes. It will perform best with medium to thick hair densities. When flat ironing hair to achieve super straightness, use a fine-toothed comb to guide the flat iron. This will ensure you achieve the straightest and smoothest results.
#65: Lush Waist-Length Hawaiian Curls
Lush waist-length Hawaiian curls will make you resemble a Disney Princess or storybook queen!
#66: Stylish Side Bun
This elaborated side bun elegantly frames the face and resembles a hair accessory. It’s ideal for those who appreciate the creative side of hairstyling. This style is suitable for all face shapes and hair densities. Consider using Moroccan Oil’s Treatment Oil for added shine and frizz control.
#67: Vibrant Orange Braided Space Buns
Nape Dutch braids start at the neck base and are weaved on top of the hair. This style introduces a fresh twist to the plaited appearance. You can enhance it by adding a Dutch braid to the crown. Now you have four braids. Twist the ends, pin them up, or tie them together for the cosmic space buns look. This look is quirky and edgy and serves as a perfect conversation starter.
#68: Stylish Asymmetrical Bob
This is an stylish asymmetrical inverted bob featuring textured layers that add movement and volume. I love the adaptability of the cut. It can be styled sleek and straight or with a gentle wave (as shown), or with more curls and teased for maximum volume and texture.
This is a highly fashionable cut and is perfect for a client with fine hair looking to achieve a fuller appearance and impressive volume. I would suggest this style for women with angular facial shapes such as heart-shaped, oval-shaped, and square-shaped faces.
#70: Sleek and Stylish
Q&A with style creator, Alex Gonzalez
Hairstylist @ Alex Gonzalez Hair Studio in Dallas, TX
How would you describe this look?
This look is for someone who doesn’t want to hide behind their hair. My client wanted something captivating but short. This cut is versatile when it comes to styling, as you can throw a wave in it to make it messy or add volume for a pompadour look. It’s definitely a look you can get creative with it and that’s why I love it.
Any advice for someone considering it?
This look works best with oval face shapes, but I’m a strong believer that confidence can pull off any look. This cut is low maintenance and ideal for someone on the go. No matter the occasion, a sleek style is sophisticated enough for the grocery store or evening gala. Doesn’t matter girl, your hair still looks fabulous! I recommend lightweight products that have a stronghold but stay away from gel or mousse as it makes hair look wet or stiff.
#71: Long Locks with Numerous Tiny Bubble Ponytails
Incorporating numerous tiny bubble ponytails into long locks introduces dimension and flair. This style is perfect for festival occasions. You might also consider adding vibrant rubber bands for a splash of color!
#72: Pigtails Softball Hairdo Featuring Colorful Braids
High-plaited softball pigtails remain classic, but you can elevate them by incorporating lively, bright extensions. These provide additional length as well. You can further enhance them by adding a scalp braid around the front hairline that links to the primary braid. This will serve as a striking focal point. Consult your stylist about the best techniques to maintain your new style. Also, ask about the expected longevity of it.
#73: Stylish Angled-Forward Bob
My favorite thing about the stylish angled-forward bob is the fact that it’s very customizable for every face shape and lifestyle. I believe anyone can rock a look like this. Chat with your stylist about what length and angle will work best for you. I’m a fan of a do-it-all styler such as a lightweight, argan oil-based mousse or gel. Less is more these days as product technology has come so far. Keep it simple, have fun, and remember it’s just hair! If you’ve always wanted bangs, do it. If you want to pair this look with an undercut, go for it! Life is too short to have the same look all the time.
#74: Nostalgic Mid-Length Blowout from the 90s
You might consider trying the nostalgic mid-length blowout from the 90s. However, be mindful of a couple of factors to enhance this style. Thick to medium hair, along with blowout gels and a roller set, are a few essential elements to maintaining this look.
#75: Revamped Asymmetrical Shag Style
Q&A with the style visionary, Jessica
Senior Stylist & Educator @ Sam Brocato Salon in New York, NY
How would you characterize this look?
I would characterize this look as a revamped asymmetrical shag. My favorite aspect of this cut is that it’s visually appealing while remaining easy to style.
Any tips for those considering it?
This particular style is most flattering on hair with some natural texture or wave.
When styling, begin with a volume or texture spray on damp hair at the roots and throughout the back. Blow dry underneath the hair with the nozzle aimed up, and tousle the hair with your free hand while drying to enhance the hair’s natural texture. As you move toward the top and front, blow dry the hair from side to side using a paddle brush. Don’t be concerned about achieving completely smooth hair.
Complete the look by blending a bit of wax with a shine oil in your hands, scrunching this combination into the hair starting from the back and moving forward. Smooth and shape the natural texture into playful flips and waves. To emphasize the asymmetrical effect, apply some wax to slick the side where it’s parted behind your ear.
