Mimi Gianopulos Long Wavy Brunette Hairstyle


Added: 22 Jul 2015
These lovely brunette tresses are left out to fall over the shoulders showing off the loose waves through the mid-lengths to ends. The top is parted down the middle making this a fantastic hairdo to complement a round face. Regular trims is needed to prevent split ends and a little product is needed to tame fly-away hair.

Mimi Gianopolous is working a simple wavy ‘do here that shows off her glossy hair color nicely. Style-wise, this is a pretty cut that works well with her long locks and oval face shape. It’s also ideal for her hair type as it allows her natural texture to do its thing. Ladies with fine or limp hair would need to extra styling time to achieve this look but thanks to her natural waves this is a great wash-and-go style for Mimi. To polish it up for the evening, all Mimi has to do is use a curl-defining product and brush it through for a silky finish.

Mimi’s natural hair color is brunette and she has a fair skin tone with neutral undertones. This means she is lucky enough to be able to pull off both warm and cool color palettes with ease. Here, she is wearing a gorgeous auburn hair color that looks great with her complexion and green eye color. This shade would work especially well for ladies with ruddy or freckled complexions too.

Mimi Gianopolous is an American actress. She is best known for her role in the 2012 film What to Expect When You're Expecting.

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 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 4

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 5

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 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.
