Short Tapered Caramel Brunette Hairstyle Hairstyle with Highlights


Added: 05 Feb 2013
This is a modern hairstyle that will make anyone stand out. This brunette hairstyle works best on women with straight hair with small facial features, such as full eyebrows and small eyes. The side-swept bangs add the perfect balance to your face while maintaining this hairstyle's glamorous appearance. Add blonde highlights to make this style pop drastically!

Our model is perfectly flaunting this hairdo with her glossy pink lips. The short cut of the hair and the side-swept bangs make it a classic hairstyle that you can always see on celebrities. The model showcases this stunning look with bangs flicked to one side and dark blonde highlights. For the hair styling, this fab 'do is tapered into the back with the sides jagged or razor cut to maintain a wispy edge that softens the style. The long bangs sweep over to one side showing off the combination of high and low lights, creating a splendid curtain of color to complete the overall style. This hairstyle suits oval, oblong, square and diamond face shapes. The hairstyle is incredible for thin or medium-sized hair. The hair should be left flat on the top, with the bangs swept to one side, and the rest of your head left down. Use special care around your face, especially around your ears and neck. Flat ironing can take hours!

This style is perfect for those looking for a short, caramel brunette hairstyle. The side-swept bangs frame the face, and the blonde highlights add sparkle and definition. This hairstyle takes minimal effort to maintain and can be worn for many occasions. Regular trimming after 4 to 6 weeks (depending on your hair thickness) allows you to keep this hairstyle in shape. Pinch the ends of the layers for more defined edges.

step 1

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.


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 the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye 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 right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 4

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 5

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 6

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the left. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 7

To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and remembering to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by starting at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.


step 8

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 9

Apply wax to your fingertips and then grip the left section of your hair from the mid-lengths and drag it in a forward and down direction for a wispy and textured result.


step 10

Apply wax to your fingertips and then grip the right section of your hair from the mid-lengths and drag it in a forward and down direction for a wispy and textured result.


step 11

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 12

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 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.
