Holly Madison Long Wavy Light Platinum Blonde Hairstyle


Added: 19 Apr 2012

Holly Madison is defined by her ex-playboy bunny status, her voluptuous figure and of course, that platinum blonde hair. While yes, it suits her cute and bubbly personality, we can't help but think that maybe it's time for Holly to change it up a bit. The extreme white-blonde color is difficult for most women to pull off after a certain age, and Holly is fast approaching that territory- when blonde goes from sexy looking to trashy looking. Plus, it's not making the most of her attributes, which all good hair colors should do.

To start with, Holly has lovely warm peachy-toned skin, but the platinum blonde only serves to wash out her natural radiance. A deeper, warmer shade would do wonders for her complexion and make her glow.

Next, Holly has a very rare eye color. Her penetrating amber eyes would look amazing with a rich, dark hair color. Just look at Julia Roberts, who has the same eye color. Julia also looks best when sporting a dark red-brown hair color, and appears washed out in blonde.

Finally, the white blonde that Holly is wearing tends to look very matte. While she takes good care of her hair, darkening up her color would instantly add gloss and shine to her mane. We think a deep auburn or chocolate brown would look amazing on Holly.

This fancy light blonde mane as dressed in soft waves through the mid-lengths to ends adding plenty of movement and shape best suited to compliment a long face. This formal hairdo is easy to re-create with the right tools and products and will need regular trims every 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends. What are your thoughts - is it time for her colorist to stage an intervention?

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 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

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

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 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

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


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.
