MODERN TOP KNOT
"The top knot can be worn from day to night and it’s as easy to style as a
ponytail,” says Schaefering.
Stylist Tip: When securing the top knot, don’t open the bobby pin. Insert it into
the knot closed.
Products Used:
* L’Oréal Professionnel Densité – a thickening primer that preps hair for
added density to allow for the style to stay in place.
* L’Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil— ultralightweight hair oil nourishes, adds shine and protects against frizz and is great for every hair type, even those with fine hair.

CHIC BOUFFANT
“This chic bouffant adds an edge to your client's overall look and is easier to style than
most people think,” explains Schaefering.
Stylist Tip: The key for that lift? Backcomb hair section only 3 inches from the
roots.
Products Used:
* L’Oréal Professionnel Expansion – a body activating mousse that adds
texture, body and shine.
* L’Oréal Professionnel True Grip – a texturizing powder that provides
dramatic volume and texture for all hair types.
* L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium 4 – extreme hold finishing spray to keep
style in place.

ROMANTIC FAUX BOB
“This is a cool way give the trendy bob a try without chopping off your client's locks,”
says Schaefering.
Stylist Tip: Curl front pieces and secure with clips, allowing curls to set.
Products Used:
* L’Oréal Professionnel Volumetry Root Spray – for lasting volume
and density.
* L’Oréal Professionnel Architexture – a matte defining paste for
texture, definition and density. Perfect for deconstructing and making
this faux bob look “piece-y.”
