Ximena Duque Long Wavy Brunette Hairstyle with Light Brunette Highlights


Added: 05 Jun 2017
Soft waves are added to the sides and back of this style to give this look movement and subtle shape. This gorgeous 'do is easy to re-create with the right tools and needs product to tame fly-away hair. Regular trims will also help maintain a healthy look and feel by preventing split ends.

Ximena Duque has beautiful facial features and a strong rounded jawline, which is nicely complimented by her soft wavy tresses here. Having a heart face shape, Ximena has a wide, broad forehead to contend with and a more horizontal face shape. Voluminous hairstyles that have lots of body and volume around the jaw and neck area are ideal for her as they balance out her face shape the best. This simple wavy layered 'do does just that for Ximena, while the blunt ends give her fine hair a thicker appearance. She would look great in bangs as it would give her broad forehead some coverage, however the center part and grown out fringe is working well for her too.

Ximena has a tanned, warm skin tone and intense blue eyes. This coloring is best paired with golden blondes and browns, but it is also possible for ladies with this complexion and eye color to wear caramel shades too. Here, Ximena goes for a golden brown base with sun-kissed highlights that have a natural looking finish. This color brightens up her complexion and gives her an all-over warm glow while adding depth and dimension to her locks.

Ximena Duque is a Colombian actress and model.

step 1

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 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

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.


step 4

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


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

A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.


step 7

Starting from the back, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.


step 8

Starting at the front, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until all of the hair through your front and sides has been curled.


step 9

Apply moulding cream to your fingertips and then tilt your head forward and scrunch your hair.


step 10

To finish, evenly mist gel spray around the top, sides and back to create a lasting style.
