The strands that are remaining have been cut asymmetrically, thus helping to create proper volume and dimension.

Blonde Pixie Undercut Bob

The forehead is covered with bangs from the center of the head, which makes it look very cool.

Long Wavy Hair with Curls

Doesn’t this hairstyle look absolutely and unbelievably beautiful? Well, anyone with long hair can easily achieve this style too. Ask your stylist to style your hair with quite a few curls and leave all your hair on only one side to highlight the loose waves and curls.

Layered Bob with Fringes

This is yet another type of Asian hair.
