Selena Gomez Long Curly Dark Brunette Half Up Half Down Hairstyle


Added: 04 Nov 2011
It's not easy when your teenage pop star boyfriend is being accused of fathering a child with another woman, but Selena Gomez has managed to keep herself together nicely during this tumultuous time. If anything, her hair and makeup have never looked better!

In this photo, Selena's long locks have been tied into a perfectly messy low side ponytail, which works great for girls like her who have super thick hair. Her loose waves have lots of body; this is one way to make the most of it while ensuring that it doesn't become too unruly.

This long brown mane is dressed over to one side and left to fall over the shoulder showing off the soft wave added for movement. The front and side layers are left out to soften the over-all style for a magnificent finish. This style is great for any occasion.

To flaunt this look, it's best to have medium to thick long hair, with natural waves. If you don't have natural waves but still want the extra volume, simply set your hair in rollers beforehand, and then comb out with your fingers. Part your hair on the side, a la Selena, and secure the rest of it at the nape of the neck, just behind the ear. Grab a piece of hair from the bottom of the ponytail and wrap it around so it covers the fastener and voila! Selena hair is yours. Be sure to leave out some tendrils around the face for a romantic look.

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 3

A large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 4

To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.


step 5

To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.


step 6

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the left. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 7

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.


step 8

A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.


step 9

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.


step 10

Take your section of hair and pull it tightly across to the opposite side and pin it securely into place.


step 11

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
