Long Dark Golden Blonde Hairstyle With Light Blonde Highlights


Added: 13 Sep 2012
This is a very glamorous, long and straight hairstyle. The hair is washed out and has a golden-blonde base color. If you add subtle highlights, your hair will look blonde like this 'do, which is depicted by the lightest blonde highlight color.

Our model exudes an elegant and sophisticated appearance in her straight blonde hair, accented with light blonde highlights. Her black-silvered eyes and red lips complement the amber tone of her skin. For the hair styling, this fun and flirty hairstyle has a combination of medium to long layers cut all through the sides and back to create a textured look and feel. The roots are teased to add height, making it a great style to complement a round face. This 'do will look great on any face shape. You can have this style cut in several different lengths, from the jawline down to the middle of your back. Or you could also have a shorter cut into layers that allow your natural hair to show through, creating a shadow along your jawline. This long-length haircut will also help define your facial features, making you appear more youthful, even as you age.

Regular trims will help keep your hair strong, smooth, and healthy, and are recommended every 4 to 6 weeks, or once a month to prevent split ends. If you do not have regular appointments now, we recommend that you schedule them as soon as possible to get the most out of your cut.

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

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

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 7

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


step 8

Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.


step 9

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 10

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.
