After: Lorraine Adler

Cutler saw that Lorraine’s hair “needed a much stronger shape,” so he had stylist Kelsey Osterman cut it into a graduated bob that tapers in back, with brow-grazing bangs and layers on top to add height. Colorist Dallace Walsh then lightened the hair, using a chestnut base with tone-on-tone caramel highlights. Says Lorraine, “It’s the perfect cut for my hair texture—I just push it into place.”

Best for: Oblong faces; medium to coarse hair with straight to wavy texture.

Styling tip: Combat frizziness with a combination of product and blow-drying technique. Work a small amount of Fekkai Advanced Silky Straight Ironless Straightening Balm ($25, drugstore.com) through damp hair, then blow-dry, wrapping hair around a flat paddle brush one section at a time, moving across the scalp as you dry.
