Medium Wavy Dark Brunette Hairstyle with Side Swept Bangs and Dark Red Highlights


Added: 10 Nov 2010
Cute, fun, and carefree, this long wavy golden hairdo will make you look great at any event you attend. We love it for dates, first impressions, and just hanging out with friends. The long wavy golden hairstyle is a great look for women who want to give their hair some extra sun and notes of gold with some light highlights. This style can also be worn straight or wavy, depending on your needs.

Our dazzling model wears a long wavy golden hairstyle that flaunts a bossy vibe. She's wearing a white inner shirt contrasting with a black blazer. These golden hair colors compliment the overall appearance of this hairstyle. It is a long layered haircut that suits fine to medium hair types. For this hairstyle, the back length has been left to sit under the shoulders with wispy ends. The sides have been layered from the mid-lengths down to create a soft shape. This long wavy golden hairstyle suits women with thin to medium hair density, oval face shape, and square jaw. The best length for this hairstyle would be shoulder length or shoulder-length length. The best hair texture to enhance this look is fine to medium. The look of long, wavy hair is always flattering. It's also practical because this hairstyle works well for everyday wear and is layered over other styles when you need an effect that's cooler, bolder, or sportier!

This is a versatile style that works especially well with straight hair. You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trims after 4-6 weeks, depending on how thick it looks in the first place. Use your smoothing shine to add a small amount of gloss and to reduce flyaways.

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 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 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

Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.


step 8

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


step 9

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 10

Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.


step 11

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 12

Lacquer is great for strong hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be applied from an arms length distance to the entire style.
