Lived-In Medium Hair for a Sharp Jawline

This live-in hairstyle on a medium-length cut was designed by hair stylist Courtney Carrara of Wilmington, NC. “Next day, live-in, freestyled hair is my aim. I like the look to compliment the face, and highlight the jawline cheeks, cheeks, and eyes. Instead of taking sections and bending one towards the face and then taking the other section to the side, I prefer taking whole horizontal sections that face the face to highlight the jaw. This helps soften the jawline perfectly,” she explains. The next horizontal part will be a bit further away of the face starting to create what we call our “next day” form and revealing the cheekbones. “I keep the horizontal toward/away sections until the area of the bangs. I like the fringe to be all far away from our face, to make sure that we can open your eyes.” the stylist adds.
