Long Gothic Hairstyle With V Bangs


Added: 11 Dec 2013
Are you looking for a versatile hairdo to take you from the office to a night out on the town? This 'do is perfect for a night out or a special event. Our model in this 'do with layered bangs looks gorgeous. With black smokey eyes and nude lips, she is perfect for any event. These lovely brunette locks are dressed in waves all through the back and sides that you can quickly achieve with hot rollers and then left out to frame the shoulders. The bangs are cut at an angle with a middle peak for a bold finish to the overall Gothic look. This hairdo is perfect if you want to add glamour and volume to your look. The long layers and waves give movement and body to the hair, while the blunt bangs frame the face nicely. The chocolate brown color is flattering on all skin tones, and the soft waves add a touch of glam. This chocolate brown hairstyle is perfect for someone with a long face shape. The layers in the front provide some width to the look, while the waves give it movement and depth. This style is also great for those with fine hair, as it will add some volume and texture.

To maintain this look, you will need regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks, and toning treatments are required to maintain your color into a chocolate brunette shade. Product will be needed for shine and hold.

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

When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.


step 6

A large hot roller is used to give your hair a larger curl and to add lots of body.


step 7

Take the entire back section of your hair, and then starting from the crown, take a smaller section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller down the hair shaft until it meets your head and then secure it in place with a pin or clip. Repeat this step until you have reached the nape of your neck and the entire back section of your hair is completed. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 8

Take a section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically, making sure to roll it backwards, along the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 9

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


step 10

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.


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.
