GETTYWe're used to seeing Jennifer Lopez with a voluminous blowout, but we're equally in love with this sleek layered bob, which works for any hair thickness. To avoid this style falling flat, Taylor has some tips. "Start with a good holding product such as a mousse," he says. "These should be applied only when the hair is about 70% to 80% dry for two reasons: to gain the most amount of natural body and to prevent diluting the product, making it less effective in hair that is too wet."
