Added: 10 Nov 2010
Are you looking for a cute and simple hairstyle for your everyday look? Our long shag hairstyle with bangs is the answer to your search. This trendy hairstyle consists of long layers around the face, from which two medium-length layers and two bangs are added. Our cute model in this hairdo looks gorgeous, and her long hair with bangs makes her look so adorable. This shag hairstyle sits perfectly to show off the layers cut through the mid-lengths to the ends to create this magnificent shape. The jagged cut bangs fall onto the face to soften the look for a stunning finish, and is best suited for those with fine to medium hair types. The long shag is the perfect style for women with long, full hair who want to add texture, natural movement, and body to their hair. By keeping hair short on top and over her ears, this style lets some of your most beautiful features have room to show while still maintaining a shape that's classic and iconic. This long and beautiful hairstyle suits all face shapes. The bangs will make your eyes look bigger and more elegant than ever.

The long shag hairstyle with bangs is great for those who love to keep their hair very long and would like to change it regularly. You can wash, blow dry and spray your hair for hold, or hold the style in place with hairspray, but this typically takes only two products! After 4 to 6 weeks, regular trimmings will help you keep this hairstyle in top shape. If you don't have a haircut, use a damp towel to style your hair. Fluff the styling products into the ends of your hair and pinch as you go to create textured edges.

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

Starting at the nape/back of the hair, place your brush on top of the section and blow-dryer down starting from the roots and using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Make sure to follow the brush with the blow-dryer in an outwards direction. If you like fuller flicks, hold the ends out and roll them up into the brush and apply the heat for longer.


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

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

Using wax and your fingers grab the mid-lengths of your hair and then drag it out and upwards for a full and messy result. Remember not to overdo the wax or your result will be a flat and greasy style.


step 8

To get your sides to sit out, apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then working mainly on the ends, pinch them while dragging the hair in an out and upwards motion. Be careful not to overdo that wax or your result will be a flat and limp style.


step 9

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the left as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 10

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


step 11

To finish the look, apply wax to your fingertips, making sure to smooth the wax over all of your fingers, then simply pinch the wax onto the ends of your hair, applying as much or as little as needed.


step 12

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.
