Tara Reid Long Straight Light Blonde Hairstyle with Blunt Cut Bangs


Added: 04 Sep 2017
These long locks have been center-parted and blow dried for a sleek and straight finish. Best suited to medium to thick hair, this hairstyle works best on naturally straight locks and will need regular trims to get rid of split ends. The bangs have been blunt cut to give this 'do a Seventies chic feel.

Tara Reid is flaunting her thick locks here in a sleek straight ‘do that compliments her diamond shaped face nicely. The thick, blunt bangs highlights her symmetrical facial features and shows off her high cheekbones and eyes. Tara’s tresses look their best in longer ‘dos like the one seen here, and when worn straight, have a shiny, glossy finish. Extensions have been used to add length and thickness here. This style is easy to achieve with the right tools and can be worn day or night.

Tara’s color is also looking fabulous here and works well with her tanned complexion and bright blue eyes. Having very light eyes, she looks best in blonde hair shades that have a beige base to them. Here, she has gone for a chic platinum blonde color that has a hint of warmth to match her skin tone, but is ultra light for a chic and edgy finish. Regular toning treatments are needed to maintain this color and keep it looking fresh.

Tara Reid is an American actress. She is known for playing Vicky in the films American Pie, American Pie 2 and American Reunion, and Bunny Lebowski in The Big Lebowski.

step 1

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose 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 middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.


step 2

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 3

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.


step 4

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


step 5

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 6

When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.


step 7

When straightening your hair, first make sure that your hair is completely dry. Then, section your hair off starting from the back/nape using a comb. Straighten your hair starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends using your comb as your guide. Make sure not to leave the straightening iron in one spot for more than 3 seconds.

step 8

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 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.
