Shattered Inversion

The graduated bob meets the shag in this massively versatile shape from the artists at TONI&GUY. Smooth it with styling cream and a blow dryer and it’s a sleek and sexy option, suitable for every occasion. Coax out and define the layers with styling wax, and it’s ready to rock ’n’ roll. And as far as the boxy, lash-grazing bangs go? Instant French girl chic no matter where she’s from.
