The cut: Sleek bob with bangs
Description: "This style is for the woman who is looking for a sleek and sophisticated look, while embracing modern trends," Allyson said. "Bobs and bangs are perfect changes for the Fall. With the weather becoming cooler and humidity subsiding, this is the ideal time to rock bangs and shorter hair. Styling is less of a fuss during this time so it's the perfect opportunity for choosing something more polished."
What to ask for at the salon: "Tell your stylist you want a blunt bob that hits right at your chin or right below," she noted. "Ask him or her to add a fringe that has the right amount of texture and which frames your face."
Styling tip: "Get your favorite blow dryer and hair oil/serum, such as Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil ($52), for heat protection, smoothing, and extra shine," she advised. "Blow-dry your hair straight until sleek, and make sure to really polish your ends. To help ease the struggle of cowlicks in your bang area while blow-drying, simply place the concentrator of your blow dryer down and direct over your fringe, moving right to left with your hand or comb, removing the cowlicks. This allows your fringe area to lay flat. To add more shine to your hair once your blow-dry is complete, add a pea size of the serum to your ends."
