Long Glossy Chocolate Brown Hairstyle With Bouncy Waves


Added: 12 Feb 2014
This is a hairstyle that you can wear with elegance and confidence, and is excellent for day or night and can be customized to suit you. You can wear this hairstyle with a dress or with a denim jacket. If you would like to wear a different 'do that will make you stand out, then this hairstyle is right for you.

Our model has silky-smooth hair with wavy ends, which gives an illusion of length and volume. Her hair color is a chocolate brown that lets the natural shine through. The style features long wavy layers throughout to give movement and definition. These glossy brown tresses are worn over the shoulders showing off the dainty waves added to the mid-lengths to ends for bounce and movement. Wearing a simple black sleeveless shirt that matches the color of her lips, she has added a touch of makeup, making her look even more beautiful, especially with this hairstyle. It can be easily re-created using a curling iron or hot rollers. This long hairstyle with waves will look great when you have long, wavy, thick hair. The longer your hair is, the more volume it will create, and this style will look best in medium or long-length hair. The middle part makes this formal 'do perfect to balance out a round face and great for any occasion.

Regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks will help you maintain this hairstyle, and toning treatments will maintain your chocolate brown color if your roots are turning grey. Product is needed for hold and shine.

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 hot roller is used to give your hair looser curls and can also be used for body.


step 3

Take the entire back section of your hair, and then starting from the crown, take a smaller section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller down the hair shaft until it meets your head and then secure it in place with a pin or clip. Repeat this step until you have reached the nape of your neck and the entire back section of your hair is completed. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 4

Take a section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically, making sure to roll it backwards, along the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 5

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


step 6

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 7

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.
