Zhu Zhu Long Straight Black Hairstyle


Added: 23 Apr 2015
Windblown Waves: Zhu Zhu is looking fabulous here in long silky jet black hair. Asian hair has a strong structure and can be grown very long with better results than other hair types, as you can see here on Zhu Zhu. Her hair looks thick, strong and healthy—not to mention glossy thanks to her raven black hair colour.

To get this look: Wash and towel dry the hair, adding a volumizing mousse throughout after. Then, you have two options to choose from. You can blow dry the hair using a large round brush, concentrating lift and volume at the root area and curling the ends using the brush and hair dryer. Or, you can leave the hair damp and roll them using extra large rollers (Velcro or foam will work fine). Let the hair dry or use a dryer to speed up the process. Once the curls have been set, spray them with a styling spray and then unroll. Use your fingers to shake through the waves and then spray again to hold.

Layers are sliced through the ends of these tresses then blow-waved perfectly giving this style a textured look and feel. The shape of this 'do is great to complement a round face for any occasion. Product is needed to pinch through the ends and regular trims will help prevent split ends.

step 1

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.


step 2

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 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

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


step 6

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 7

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.
