2. Messy Medium Bob
Say goodbye to flat and lifeless hair by creating a textured ‘do. For this hairstyle, imperfections are welcome. You can simply brush or finger-comb your hair to get rid of tangles. Then, spritz hair wax or texturizing spray, and scrunch to style hair and distribute the product evenly.

3. Bouncy Shoulder-length Hair
Blessed with natural waves? Good for you! You can simply let your shoulder-length or medium hair down and let it bounce as you move.
