Elise Neal Long Wavy Dark Brunette and Blonde Two-Tone Hairstyle


Added: 23 Aug 2012
Elise Neal has been seen sporting a rather unique hairstyle, and the jury is out on whether it's fashion-forward or just plain frumpy. This hairdo has layers jagged cut into the back and sides to balance the bounce and movement of the waves. This casual hairdo will need regular trims every 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends and product for hold and shine.

Elise Neal has a gorgeous face. She looks young, modern and has a complexion to die for. Her face shape is oval, so she can pull off virtually any style with ease. Her actual hairstyle in this photo is nice- it's loose, it's wavy and it looks effortlessly chic. But, the cut is not what we are critiquing. It's that crazy hair color job! It gives a whole new meaning to growing out your roots.

While the "grown out roots" look is very popular and can actually look really good, there needs to be some sort of graduation of color. Elise has a harsh line where her natural black hair meets the caramel shade—not the smoothest of transitions.

On the other hand, this color effect says- yes my roots are growing out, so what? It's hard work looking perfect all the time, so why don't we just relax when it comes to our roots?

In any case, Elise still looks polished overall, even with her strange color technique. What's your verdict on Elise Neal's hair- is she a trendsetter, or just plain tardy when it comes to root regrowth?

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

Lift your hair up with your fingers and move the diffuser up to the ends, motioning the diffuser to the scalp in circular movements. Make sure the blow-dryer speed is on low and try not to completely dry the hair off. Leaving a little bit of moisture will allow the hair to dry naturally.


step 3

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


step 4

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 5

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.
