Medium Dark Red Hairstyle With Side Swept Bangs And Waves


Added: 10 Nov 2010
This medium wavy dark red hairstyle with side swept bangs is a look that you can rock on any occasion. It adds length, volume and texture to your hair while still keeping it in check. The side swept bangs provide easy styling options when they are styled, as seen in the model's picture.

Our model is wearing a medium-wavy dark red hairstyle with side-swept bangs. She wears a beautiful tunic with a silver chain, which is complemented perfectly by her side-swept bangs. For this hair styling, not only does the colour of this hairdo make it stand out in a crowd, but also the short layers cut through the crown to give it lift and height. Jagged layers were cut through the sides and back to give it a textured finish. This hairstyle suits most women with thin/medium hair density and fine to medium texture. The colour goes well with most skin tones, but it's especially flattering if your skin is warm-toned. This medium wavy dark red hairdo is easy to style and will make a statement when worn. The side-swept bangs give this hairstyle a more edgy look while still keeping it professional. This colour looks great on most women, so long as they have long hair that lies flat against their face or neck area.

Get this hairstyle by starting with hair that's already long enough to give you a casual and easy maintenance style. Use mousse to add volume and create separation, then blow dry your hair straight so that it's poofy at the roots. Add some shine with a diffuser, and then finish off with light hairspray. The medium-wavy dark red hairstyle is an ideal choice for Christmas, New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day. It features side-swept bangs that create a natural look, and it is maintained with regular trimming after 4-6 weeks to achieve a longer, fuller appearance.

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

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

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

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


step 7

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


step 8

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 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

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


step 11

Apply wax to your palms and then roughly rub the wax into back of your style. Use circular hand movements for a messier finish.


step 12

Apply gel-wax to your fingertips and then pinch small clumps of hair in an up and forward motion. For a wetter look, use more gel-wax.


step 13

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.
