The Cut: Peek-a-Boo Layers
Celebrity Inspiration: Jordin Sparks
Description: "She has gorgeous curls paired with longer, hidden layers," said Heaps. "For curly styles with more volume, this is a great technique to ensure hair has more bounce. It almost looks one length, but when Jordin straightens it, you can see the pop. Here she created the illusion of even more layer volume by pulling her hair up and over to one side. This is the beauty of playing with your part and how your hair falls. You can make your style look so different by changing this one simple feature."
Style It: "When you have such beautiful, natural curls, a cocktail of a few key products is all you truly need," said Heaps. "On damp hair, pair a leave-in conditioner and oil with a weightless gel like White Sands Haircare's Gel-Us ($15). This particular formula closes the cuticle layer to eliminate frizz, improve texture, and provide volume. To finish, air-dry or diffuse curls with a dryer to keep their shape." For a leave-in, try Living Proof No Frizz Leave-In Conditioner ($25).
Who It Works For: This style is great for narrow faces and naturally curly hair. "Thinner faces benefit from more volume on the sides. This cut lets Jordin's natural curls shine through since hidden layers create volume and the curls are not weighed down," said Heaps.
