The 7 Game-Changing Products I Use to Style My Lob Haircut

It's important to get a brush a little skinnier than usual for shorter hair — it makes blowdrying it much easier. I love this Drybar Half Pint Small Round Brush ($36) because it gives me a lot of control.

When I want that piecey, beach-wave-y look, I rub a dime-size amount of Ouai Matte Pomade ($24) in my hands and rake it through my curls. It creates texture and hold without any crunchiness.

I am obsessed with my Beachwave Pro 1.25" Rotating Curling Iron ($199) — using it is the easiest and fastest way to achieve curls. It's my favorite hot tool for styling my lob.

I consider Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment ($29) to be one of my holy grail products — it's the ultimate multitasker. I put a quarter-size amount in my wet hair for smoothness and heat protection. It smells fresh and prevents frizziness.

When I flatiron my lob, I always finish off my look with a couple drops of Moroccanoil Treatment ($15). It helps me achieve a sleek and modern look with tons of shine.

The shorter your hair, the less you have to worry about your curls getting weighed down. I always use this Aveda Air Control Hair Spray ($30) because it keeps my styling in place all day long without heaviness. No crunchy curls, please!

This R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo ($32) is great for any hair length, but I especially love using it on my lob when I'm putting it up in a ponytail. It creates hold so that no shorter pieces will slip out.

This is my hair as soon as I got it cut (and highlighted, as you can see from the bleach stains). I have been able to maintain its health by using all the products previously listed.

Achieving this look has become a no-brainer for me. Now it's your turn for the chop!
