Face-Framing Sleek Glass Lob with Wispy Tendrils
How to Create
The face-framing sleek glass lob features delicate, slide-cut tendrils starting at the cheekbones that blend seamlessly into a solid, blunt collarbone baseline. While maintaining an ultra-sleek, reflective glass texture throughout the body, the subtle front layers soften the perimeter around the face. These delicate front tendrils frame the cheekbones and jawline, softening facial angles and providing styling versatility for tucking hair behind the ears. This style offers an approachable, beginner friendly option for women who want the clean look of a glass lob without a severe, unlayered front frame.

Begin creating this soft framed style by applying a thermal styling spray and leave-in smoothing lotion to damp hair. Part the hair down the center or slightly off-center, separating the thin face-framing pieces around the temples. Blow-dry the front tendrils using a small round brush, rolling the brush forward toward the nose to create a soft, cheekbone-grazing curve. Blow-dry the remaining lob length using a flat paddle brush for a sleek, straight drape. Flat-iron the main body in small subsections from roots to ends, lightly beveling the face-framing pieces toward the chin. Smooth a drop of lightweight finishing oil over the hair surface to complete the look with radiant shine.
