Long Curly Dark Brunette Hairstyle with Blunt Cut Bangs and Dark Red Highlights


Added: 17 Nov 2011
The long curly dark brunette haircut is a beautiful hairstyle that will turn heads. Long, curly, and dark like the Wild West, these layers must be seen to be believed! The brunette hair has been highlighted with bright red tones to give it an extra boost of excitement. The bangs add enough drama for the cut but maintain a feminine appeal. Bring on the compliments!

Our model here is sporting a long, curly dark brunette hairstyle with blunt-cut bangs and dark red highlights. Her contoured face and gray-colored eyes are matched with the gray color tunic she's wearing. For this hairstyle, these long tresses are dressed in curls through the back and sides to add bounce and body to the sides making this best suited for those looking for a fun and flirty hairdo to complement a long face shape. The bangs are blow-waved straight to frame the top of the face and complete the overall style. It is a perfect summer hairstyle. This short curly haircut suits women with oval, oblong, and square face shapes and medium bone structure. The best time to get this cut would be during winter when hair is not extremely dry or frizzy.

Being able to easily maintain this hairstyle by regular trimming means you can keep it looking neat and tidy all day long, which is great for all types of office environments. The soft, loose curls give the appearance of a bouncy mane that, coupled with the low volume of hair at the crown, makes this look extremely natural, despite having enough volume to make it stand out from any other hairstyle.

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 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 5

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 6

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.


step 7

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.


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 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 10

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.
