Long Curly Black Hairstyle with Red Highlights


Added: 10 Nov 2010
Description: The long curly black hairstyle with red highlights is a great way to add dimension and texture to your look. It's perfect for those who are looking for a more natural look and are comfortable with their hair having a wave or curl pattern. This hairstyle is best suited for those with slightly wavy to curly hair that want an alternative look.

Our model is wearing this long curly black hairstyle with red highlights. The model is wearing a white top with pearl-shaped golden balls in the necklace, which gives this beautiful hairstyle even more appeal. The contrast of color and smooth bangs makes this look like a very hip hairstyle. For this hairstyle, the back ends have been sliced to maintain a wispy edge, and medium layers have been added for bounce and body. The side's long side swept bangs have been blended into the side layers, which form a nice frame for the face. The long curly black hairstyle is a great choice for women with fine or medium natural hair texture and oval, oblong, square, and triangular face shapes. It is a beautifully elegant look that adds instant glamour to any outfit. You can wear it straight, wavy, or even curly. The length of the hair makes it suitable for all types of face shapes, sizes, and hairstyles.

This long curly black hairstyle is great for those who want to go natural and prefer a messier look. The layers provide an abundance of volume, while the red highlights add drama to your look. This hairstyle can be maintained with regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks of wear. Use your smoothing shine to add a small amount of gloss and to reduce flyaways.

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

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 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

A large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 5

Starting at the nape/back of the hair, place your brush on top of the section and blow-dryer down starting from the roots and using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Make sure to follow the brush with the blow-dryer in an outwards direction. If you like fuller flicks, hold the ends out and roll them up into the brush and apply the heat for longer.


step 6

To blow-dry the sides, take out your first sections from the front and clip the rest of the hair up. Place your brush on top of the section, and starting from the roots, blow-dry down using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Continue this step until the hair is 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

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


step 9

Starting from the back, 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 roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.


step 10

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 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

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.


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

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 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.
