Dislacimer
Someone looking for a very special, detailed, and eye-catching hairstyle for a wedding, festival, or formal event. This look requires braiding skill.
Hairstyle Insight
A "lace braid" is a variation of a French or Dutch braid where you only add new hair from one side, allowing the braid to lie flat against the head like a piece of lace trim.
Key Benefits
A stunningly intricate and beautiful look.
The braid acts as a natural headband.
The waves create beautiful length and flow.
The color adds a warm, sun-kissed glow.
A perfect hairstyle for a special day.
Common Misconceptions
That all wolf cuts are very long.
How to ask your stylist for this style
Ask for a "wavy wolf cut lob." For the color, request a "'lived-in' bronde balayage with a 'root smudge'" for easy maintenance.
Tools:
Choosing Products
A volumizing mousse for styling the cut; a gentle, sulfate-free purple shampoo for the color.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
This style is perfect for air-drying.
On damp hair, use a texturizing spray, scrunch, and go.
A purple shampoo can be used occasionally to keep the bronde tones bright.
Caring for your hair
The ultimate low-maintenance look. The cut grows out well, and the color is designed for a seamless grow-out. Trims and glosses are only needed every 3-4 months.
Frequently asked questions

What is a "wolf cut lob"?
It's a shorter, more wearable version of the wolf cut trend. It has the shaggy layers of a wolf cut but at a shoulder-grazing "lob" length, making it less extreme.
