Wedding-Ready Lob-Length Haircut

Glass Hair Trend
The glass hair trend first debuted on Instagram towards the end of 2018, and we can already predict it’ll become an overwhelming trend in 2019. This glamorous style involves creating a blunt bob or lob with dead straight, high-shine locks reminiscent of mirror reflection. Cut Shoulder length lob, or bob works best. Keeping your locks as straight as possible for optimal consideration means using products like Suave’s Moroccan Infusion Shine shampoo and conditioner, followed by lightweight shine serum such as Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil Serum or Color Wow’s Dream Coat Supernatural Spray to boost shine. After using a flat iron to straighten your hair section by section, use shine-enhancing hairsprays like Bed Head by TIGI’s Headrush Shine Shaker or Bumble and Bumble Strong Finish Hairspray to lock in those sleek locks all day long. Unlike other celebrity looks, this one can be easily recreated at home. “To achieve it at home with regular round brushes and lightweight products that add shine,” suggests celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan, known for creating Olivia Culpo, Bella Hadid, and Ashley Graham’s glossy locks. Use high-quality titanium flat irons like GHD’s to blow-dry your locks to maximize results. If daring, take the Glass hair trend one step further by opting for a bold dye job to match. Brown suggests “rich, inky black with almost metallic blue hues that give off a cool reflective shine; very Cher.”
Side-Swept Cut
The Side-Swept Cut is an exquisite example of this, being straightforward and elegant. Start by using a rat-tail comb to part your hair on one side of your head deep enough for brushing up before pinning all of it to the other side near the nape of your neck – or knot the top section a few times before pinning for extra security and style! This look suits a range of face shapes, as its diagonal area across your forehead breaks up a round face while emphasizing gold or olive skin tones in a highly flattering way. For an additional sophisticated touch, add in some subtle yet sophisticated blond highlights for added elegance and shine.
Classic and Chic Bob with Side-Swept Bangs

Do it on an impulse – it’s fast and easy. Wear this look casually or make an impactful statement with a matching dress at formal events. Just ensure it does not fade quickly!
Shag-Length Cut
The shag-length cut has quickly become one of the hottest looks for 2019 on social media, featuring voluminous volume on top and textured layers that fall to the sides and bottom. Perfect for everyday wear or special occasions alike, the style makes styling easy for women over 50 with its versatility across colors and low maintenance requirements.
Flattering Shag Haircuts
Shag haircuts for short hair can be very flattering and worn to show off natural beauty or add an edge. Pixie shags are one of the most sought-after choices among women who wish to create an ultra-feminine yet modern style, featuring tapered nape and swoopy bangs that frame the face beautifully and softly face-framing charges – great options if you’re going for soft face-framing or dramatic flair! You could even opt for dual mullet shags if desired! Medium hair makes for the ideal material for a shag-length cut that allows you to maintain some length while adding volume at the crown. It works exceptionally well on naturally curly locks and all face shapes; its asymmetrical style may especially suit round or heart-shaped ones. You can wear this style messy and tousled for casual occasions or polished back into an updo for an elegant, more formal appearance. Longer shag hairstyles effectively counterbalance narrow facial features by adding fullness to the crown area. Depending on your preferences, these versatile styles can be styled with wispy bangs or side-swept bangs.
