Apart from that, all you need to do is wash it and use a pomade to style it quickly.   

The Short, Subtle Layered Cut

Easy to style, the layers add lots of velvety texture while the bangs frame the eyes and accentuate the cheek. Use setting spray to make a fluffy hairstyle.

The Mussy Layered Look

It is such an effortless look that works beautifully for both day and night, on a variety of ages and face shapes. The layers fall into place, and a middle-part keeps it polished.

The Shag

Shag style is perfect for thick hair that has some natural waves. If highlights are your thing, they'll definitely add extra dimension with this style. Or, instead of traditional highlights, opt for balayage.

The Layered Side-Part Bob

Layers upon layers give a chin-length bob bounce and volume. Add some highlights for dimension or stick to one tone for a monochromatic look.

The Curly Bob

The free-flowing, curly bob on Teruko Burrell proves curls can look great at any length. To maintain hydration, keep a leave-in conditioner, water mixture on standby to refresh your curls throughout the week.

The Shoulder-Length Curly Bob

The shoulder-length curly bob is low maintenance and versatile. Don't be afraid to pull your curls into a low bun or loose topknot to get the most out of your wash day. 

The Split-Bang Lob

Bangs are not a one-size-fits-all affair. The split bang, which just means the bangs part in the middle, is a fun way to switch up the style. You can simply split the bangs in half and apply a lightweight mousse to keep them in place.
