Making waves

Repping a bob + choppy fringe right now? Switch your straight front ‘n’ sides routine for tousled locks just like Rila. How? Apply a little curl defining mousse to towel-dried hair and s-c-r-u-n-c-h. Leave to dry naturally then complete with fixing spray.

Double date

Look #2 is a freaking dreamy hair-up option to add to your list, stat. To start, part your mane into two and secure into either twin pigtails (for short hair) or wrap around into duo buns (for longer hair). Then, add in a fancy headband, pushing your getting-there grown fringe forward.

So fancy

For your fresh-cut fringe stage, give your curlers something new to work with. Divide your hair into two definitive sections and create a duo of barrel waves. Then, push to the side and finish with a whole lorra shine spray.

Cute crop

Taking your locks all the way to crop-ville might be the chicest thing you do this season. Make like Rila and match your fresh cut with a side fringe and low-level, bed-head kinks.

Sleek sister

When reaching for high levels of chic (and a new, inbetween fringe vibe), consider Rila as your new go-to. Create an extreme side parting with the end of a tail comb, smoothing down as you go with firm-hold hairspray. Then, sweep your hair into a low bun and add a pair of statement earrings.
