@hamzahairdresser
This crop is commonly referred to as the ‘princess cut,’ which is the latest trend in the Asian hair world. The top is diffused lightly to bring in a curly texture, while most of the volume is concentrated at the ends.

Here you get a party hairstyle and make-up with a 100-year-old glamour vibe. It’s also a cool way to elevate your pixie bob and bring out the textured hair section at the top.
@tuulitekeetukkaa
To recreate this wet-hair look, you’ll need lots of hair gel, a brush, and a bit of patience. Apply the product to your locks and start forming a wave by moving the brush away and towards your face until you get the desired result.
@jakehaighhair
This shorter version of a bob cut sets the weight through the bottom to maintain a slightly rounded shape. The carving technique done with a razor helps you to achieve that natural softness of the look.

If your hairstyle lacks volume and you want to lift it a bit at the roots, a pin up hairdo is your right choice. Arrange your waves around the face for a framing effect, and your vintage hair look is ready.
