Long Black Hairstyle With Curls And Attitude


Added: 10 Nov 2010
The long curly hairstyle is a classic one. If you have never tried it before, maybe today is the day to do so. This hairstyle combines the best of both worlds: long and curly hair. This hairstyle is warm, feminine and romantic. The curls are long, thick and bouncy. A beautiful hairdo for any occasion will make you look beautiful!

Our model is wearing a long curly hairstyle that perfectly flaunts her hazel hue eyes. She is wearing an elegant black gown with a minimalistic style of silver chain. For this hair styling, the back of this gorgeous 'do is layered up to the crown and curled for softness, blending into the top and front layers which are smoothed to add contrast to the overall look. This is perfect for those looking for a hairstyle with plenty of attitude and shape. This hairstyle is perfect for women who love to be on the go and have fun. The curls are bouncy, but they can also last all day long. This style is great for all face shapes but especially for those with round or oval faces. It is also great for women with straight hair that is fine or medium in density. If your hair is thick and coarse, then you may not be able to wear the long-length curly hairstyle without looking like a mop head!

This long-hair hairstyle is perfect for the fall, winter and early spring months. You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks. Tease this style at the roots to achieve lots of height.

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

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


step 3

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 4

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 5

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is 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

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.


step 8

Starting from the back, 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 roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.


step 9

Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.


step 10

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


step 11

Apply wax to the palms of your hands, and then starting at the top-back area, drag your hands forward, flattening your hair down as you go. For a wetter look use more wax.


step 12

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the left as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 13

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.
