Short Asymmetrical Blunt Bob
The bob haircut is a classic, but because there are many ways to style it, it also feels modern and can be easily adapted to suit your preference. This includes trying an asymmetrical hairstyle defined by the length being visibly longer on one side of the face. This is the perfect way to create the illusion of length without any hassles.

Short Side Parted Bob
The bob haircut is nothing if not versatile, and there are many ways to style it. This is why it remains one of the most popular low-maintenance short haircuts for women. If you want to balance your features and add some oomph to your style, consider a side part with a wet hair finish. This can be achieved with a gel or similar product and is excellent for securing your strands.

Medium-Length Textured Cut
If you want to change your appearance, one of the easiest ways to do it is by dying your hair in your favorite shade. Choosing bold hair colors is expressive and lets you show the world your playful side. Your selected color can also say much about you; pink hair is a pretty choice. If your hair is naturally textured, your color can draw attention to the curl pattern. Or you could add movement and depth to the hair by adding choppy layers. Regardless of your hairstyle and texture, it can work with your favorite pink hue, making for a standout and gorgeous look that you will be proud to show off.

Medium-Length Wispy Fringe
Wearing your hair with a fringe can be incredibly flattering, but there is also a wide range of fringe styles to choose from. Some women love full and thick fringes that can give you volume and can be dramatic, while others prefer a more subtle approach, like a wispy fringe. These thin streaks of hair can soften your features, drawing attention to the eyes and cheekbones. It can also complement several hair textures, lengths, and cuts. Styling your hair in a choppy cut with a wispy fringe is perfect and will work well with the textured effect.

Do a Hot Castor Oil Treatment
Castor oil is the unsung hero of the hair world—you might even be tempted to ditch your coconut oil for it after reading this. First of all, castor oil has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties to help combat scalp infections that prevent your hair from growing. Second, it’s filled with omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, proteins, and other nutrients that can pe*****te your parched strands and seal your hair shaft to retain moisture.4 Third, it makes for an amazing hot oil treatment—massaging the oil into your roots will help your scalp drink up all of the nutrients and help promote hair growth.

To give yourself a hot oil treatment, massage the oil into your scalp and then apply it all the way to the ends of your strands. Pile your hair on top of your head, cover it with a shower cap, and blast your strands with a blow-dryer for 15 minutes. Feel free to jump in the shower and shampoo and condition as usual. You’ll notice softer strands instantly.

My Mixed-Texture Curls Would Be Flat and Lifeless Without These Products Trying to find the best products for your coils and curls? Look no further. These are the best 59 products for mixed-texture hair

Curly Hair
Since curly hair needs moisture, it's best to limit how often you use heat to keep the moisture intact. Products like moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, heat protectants, and smoothing balms are all helpful additions in keeping curly hair free of damage when straightening it.

Before you begin, layer a heat protectant like the IGK Good Behavior 4-in-One Prep Spray ($32) and Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Smoothing Balm ($34). "Perfect for thicker, coarser hair types, this heat-activated, super smoothing transformative formula starts as a thick cream and melts immediately into hair when blow-drying, giving lasting sleekness and shine without feeling heavy or weighed down," Grenia tells us. Heat protectant is important when using hot tools to seal your strands and reduce breakage.
Another important detail to keep in mind is that curly hair can withstand higher temperatures. "Hair is more resistant and needs a bit more power, so I recommend starting at 400 and going no higher than 420," Grenia advises.
Using high-quality heat tools, like the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer ($429) and the GHD Platinum+ Styler ($279), will also have an impact in preventing damage to curly hair.
Limit how often you straighten your hair to prevent damage. Ideally, curly hair shouldn't be heat styled more than two times a week.

Coily Hair
Using tools made for thicker hair will make a big impact on how you style coily hair. A focus on keeping the hair moisturized is also important to prevent breakage and damage.

Apply a heat protectant to the hair before blow-drying. "Coily hair tends to require more hydration, so products that contain shea butter and oils such as castor and jojoba oil are a great way to prep the hair prior to heat styling," Lee says. "Use a great leave-in conditioner, like Tracee Ellis Ross's Pattern Leave-in Conditioner ($25), to help with detangling as well as prepping the hair."
Lee recommends using the heat of a blow-dryer and a good Denman brush to straighten coily hair.
Start on towel-dried hair, going section by section and pulling the hair straight using the Denman brush. "Once straighten and dried, I would then take small sections using the chase method, which is taking a comb through the hair with a flat iron to really press that hair smooth and straight," Lee explains. "The idea of smoothing out coily hair with this technique is less damaging. Coily hair can be more fragile than other hair textures, so you want to be very gentle and careful doing this."
Curly and coily strands can withstand higher heat temperatures. Grenia advises staying between 400 to 420 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid damage. You should also keep the iron moving to make sure it's not sitting in one spot on the hair.
Once styled, Lee recommends finishing with a lightweight oil-based finishing product to help add further hydration.
You can heat style your hair as many times per week as you want. However, it's best to limit the amount of time that you use hot tools to prevent damage and dryness—especially on coily strands.
