Added: 12 Apr 2012

If you are bored with the same old hairstyles for long hair, check out this girlie and glam style worn by Danielle Doty. This is a fabulous hairdo for ladies with long hair that is straight, wavy or curly and it will suit all face shapes. To make it even better, it only takes a few minutes to style!

These luscious locks are dressed in soft waves giving this hairdo plenty of softness and movement. This can be easily re-created at home with the right tools and products and great for any casual occasion. Regular trims is needed to prevent split ends maintaining a healthy look and feel.

First, you need to wash and finish your hair. If you have poker- straight hair, you have the option of keeping it straight or adding waves with hair rollers, but obviously adding curls will take more time. Curly and wavy haired ladies can let it dry on its own or perfect their curls further with styling- the choice is yours.

Next, create a deep side hair part and section off the fringe area. Loosely twist towards the back of the head and downward, so that the end of the twist finishes just behind the ear. Use hair pins to secure in place and voila - you have instantly glammed up your long hair!

For an extra-fancy touch, add an embellished clip to match your outfit. Top it all off with the appropriate makeup& - leave it fresh and natural for daytime, and go smoky and seductive for night.

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 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 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

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


step 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

Once your hairstyle is complete, hold your hair into place and then pin your hair into your desired direction.
