Short Wavy Brunette Hairstyle with Layered Bangs


Added: 10 Nov 2010
The short wavy brunette hairstyle is a 'do in which everyone can look and feel good. The layered bangs work to create volume at the top of the head, while the short length keeps it from looking too heavy. The color makes this 'do shine, and you will feel excellent wearing this hairstyle.

Our model is perfectly flaunting this hairdo with a beautiful smile and a naturally beautiful face. This hairstyle is perfect for ladies who want to change their hair color or style, and it features plenty of attitude and shape thanks to the layers that have been cut throughout. For the hair styling, sliced bangs have been added for softness, and the sides have been graduated from the bangs so that they frame the face and still blend in with the short length at the back. The back length has been blunt cut at the nape and then graduated up to achieve body and volume. With a short and straight cut, this trendy 'do will add volume and texture to your hair. It works well with all face shapes but is stunning on round and oval face shapes. Adding a short-styled fringe will make this style perfect for you.

This short hairstyle with layered bangs provides an effortless-looking style that is great for everyday wear. Maintain this hairstyle with regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks. Use the blow dryer to get a small amount of moisture out, and apply styling products to slightly damp hair for better hold.

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

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 3

It is always a good idea to work in sections. This will help to make your hair styling quicker, easier to follow and more orderly. Comb your hair out and place your hair up into four equal sections, two in front and two in back, starting from ear to ear.


step 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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 right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 8

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 9

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 10

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 11

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


step 12

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 13

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


step 14

Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.


step 15

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.
