Our model in this long straight dark brunette hairstyle looks great with her side-swept bangs and dark red highlights. She is wearing silvered and black eye shadow, gorgeous lips, and thick eyeliner for a smoky look that's perfect for Valentine's Day. For this hairstyle, this long and smooth style has jagged cut layers through the front and sides to complement the face and adds shape to this simple look. A splash of color is added to the top for contrast and completes the overall style magnificently. This style works well for those with thin or medium hair. The short hairdo is the right fit for most women. No matter your frame, this hairstyle will make you look like a model who's always in front of the camera. The long straight hairstyle is easy to maintain and works great with most face shapes. This hairstyle is versatile enough to be sported in casual or formal settings and looks amazing with any outfit.

The long hairstyle will be versatile and easy to maintain with regular trims every 4 to 6 weeks. Add some height by starting at the roots, using an inch-wide flatiron on each side of the head. Then blow-dry hair all over, from root to ends. To finish off, finger comb through the ends before finishing with a final restyle using a small curling iron after spraying it with a heat protectant.

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 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

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

To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and remembering to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by starting at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.


step 7

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


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.
