She also has straight bangs, but she wears them so well! For this hairstyle, these dark red locks have the top half pulled back and pinned to the head, leaving out the length to fall over the shoulder for a soft and simple look and feel. The bangs are blow-waved smooth to complement the face and complete this overall half up half down style magnificently. This half-up, half-down style of hair is the perfect choice for women with fine or medium-density hair looking for a natural-looking wave. The waves are done in one direction and don't require much maintenance because they're also easy to maintain.

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

Use your hand to scrunch the hair as you blow-dry. Remember to keep the blow-dryer on a low speed and heat setting and to leave some moisture in your hair.


step 3

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 4

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 5

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.
