Description

This platinum blonde cropped 'do is 100% "Pink" style. If you want to rock this icy cool 'do, ask your hairstylist for a short layered hairstyle that is tapered at the sides and back. Our model has kept longer layers and a side-swept fringe, which is very versatile, but if you crave something more punky, ask your stylist for shorter layers that can be spiked. The back and sides of this platinum blonde hairdo have been tapered into the head and blended into the top layers, which have been jagged cut. The style has been styled flat to contour the head for a simple yet sexy look and feel. Only a small amount of product is needed for hold and shine, as well regular trims to maintain style.

Styling Steps

1. Wax Hair Down at the Back

Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.

2. Style Sides Down Using Wax

Using a small amount of wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.

3. Flatten the Top Using Wax

Apply wax to the palms of your hands, and then starting at the top-back area, drag your hands forward, flattening your hair down as you go. For a wetter look use more wax.

4. Style Bangs to the Left Using Wax

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the left as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.

5. Apply Hairspray

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
