Short Sophisticated Straight Hairstyle With Volume


Added: 24 Nov 2011
Try this classic hairstyle to add depth and elegance to your complexion. With layers in the front, side bangs, and blonde highlights, this hairstyle is a perfect example of how you can emphasize your bone structure with a short straight cut. A straight style like this with dark hair and blonde highlights is sure to be a crowd pleaser, and this one is no exception! Our model sported an elegant 'do while maintaining side-swept bangs and subtle blonde highlights to keep it modern. This short hairdo is tapered into the back and sides blending into the top jagged-cut layers left long enough to sit flat. This look is best suited for those with fine hair. This 'do works well with a light skin tone or color. The bangs can be as long as desired, with a thick shape on top to frame the face perfectly. This look is perfect for women with a round, oval, or heart face shape with thin or medium hair density and texture.

This haircut will surely add volume and interest to your face while adding a layer of sophistication to your look. The short length of the hair on top will achieve the desired style while creating tons of texture with layers throughout the rest of your head. This layered cut allows enough versatility for everyday activities while maintaining a polished look for work or a night out. To maintain the shape of your hair, it is vital to get regular trims every 4-6 weeks. Apply a small amount of smoothing shine to your top sections for shine and hold.

step 1

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 2

Using a small amount of wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.


step 3

Apply wax to the palms of your hands, and then starting at the top-back area, drag your hands forward, flattening your hair down as you go. For a wetter look use more wax.


step 4

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 5

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 6

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.
