Long Straight Dark Plum Brunette Hairstyle with Side Swept Bangs


Added: 10 Nov 2010
A long straight dark plum brunette hairstyle with side-swept bangs is a flattering hairstyle on any face shape. The best thing about this look is that it's easy to maintain because you can wash and blow dry with ease as needed.

Our model is wearing a top tank with a cropped side shoulder and sleek straight hair that's flaunting this long, dark plum brunette hairstyle. Her top is worn casually with an open back and stylish pockets that add shape to this lovely hairstyle. For this hair styling, these smooth and shiny locks are blunt cut at length to maintain a crisp edge with only slight layers of jagged cut layers through the front to shape under the jawline. These layers allow the highlights to seep through for a stunning look. The bangs are smoothed over to the side to complete the overall style perfectly. This hairstyle is best suited for fine to medium hair. It works on round faces and oval, square and heart-shaped faces. When selecting this look, you want to pick one length of your hair. Make sure that you have a full, straight bang on the left side with a side-swept bang on the right side. This look gives an elegant and professional touch to any casual outfit.

This hairstyle is a big change from the usual long straight hair. It has an edgy twist, and the long side swept bangs make the style even more special. This hairstyle requires regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks, so you can maintain it easily. Apply a small amount of smoothing shine to your top sections for shine and hold.

step 1

Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left 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 left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 3

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 4

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.


step 5

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


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 right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 7

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


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

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.
