Long Red Rocker Shag Hairstyle


Added: 18 Sep 2017
Sexy is the key look here. The length and layers of this Shag 'do are jagged cut to achieve a casual textured style making it a perfect edgy style to frame a long face. The bangs are blunt cut to frame the eyes and completes the over-all style brilliantly. Product is needed to piece out the ends and keep this 'do in place.

Our model loves to experiment with her hairstyles and with her oblong shaped face and gorgeous bone structure, she can easily pull off a wide variety of hairstyles. This hairdo is no exception. Our model has gone for a rocker chic look here with this Seventies inspired shag cut that makes the most of her wavy hair texture. The jagged cut ends give her locks lots of movement, while the long blunt fringe brings the focus to the eye area. Large curls around the cheekbones and eyes balance out her face shape nicely and pumps up the volume in her locks. This is a versatile medium-length hairstyle that can be worn down, or tied up with the heavy fringe and layers around the face left down for a cool, chic look.

Our model has a cool complexion and light blue eyes. While she could pull off brunette and blonde tones, she looks best in vibrant red colors that add warmth to her skin tone and brings out her eyes. Here, she goes for a rich red tone that is fashion forward yet matches her coloring brilliantly. This color is perfect for ladies with freckled complexions and/or skin with a cool undertone. This vibrant red tone also gives her strands a healthy looking finish and shine.

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 nose 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 middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.


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

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 5

To blow-dry the sides, take out your first sections from the front and clip the rest of the hair up. Place your brush on top of the section, and starting from the roots, blow-dry down using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Continue this step until the hair is dry.


step 6

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 7

When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.


step 8

A large hot roller is used to give your hair a larger curl and to add lots of body.


step 9

Take a section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically, making sure to roll it backwards, along the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 10

Take the entire back section of your hair, and then starting from the crown, take a smaller section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller down the hair shaft until it meets your head and then secure it in place with a pin or clip. Repeat this step until you have reached the nape of your neck and the entire back section of your hair is completed. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 11

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