This long and straight mocha hairstyle is an elegant style choice for those looking to add depth and dimension to their look. The sleek side-swept bangs give this look a more polished finish. So whether you are going out on the town with friends or heading to work, this is a great hairstyle to consider.

Our lovely model is wearing a red high-neck top and flaunting her long straight dark mocha hair. With minimalistic smoky eyes and light pink glossy lips, she is grooming her mid-length locks astonishingly. For the hair styling, smooth and glossy is the main aim for this hairdo. Only subtle layers are cut around the front and sides to add shape and style to complement the lovely length. This hairstyle suits women with round, oval, heart, and triangular face shapes. It is a beautiful and long straight dark mocha hairstyle that is stylish and has a lot of volume at the sides, making it perfect for those with thin or medium density hair. The super chic hairstyle is ideal for formal occasions like weddings or parties, but can be worn to work too.

This long hairstyle is perfect for those with thick hair. The side-swept bangs maintain this look without the need for many styling products. Simply wash, condition, and style with a curling iron or flat iron to fluff your locks. Keep this hairstyle looking great with regular trimming once you have grown it out. Use your smoothing shine to add a small amount of gloss and to reduce flyaways.

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

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 4

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 5

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind.


step 6

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind.


step 7

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 8

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.
