Added: 13 Jan 2014
If you are looking for hair inspiration to boost the style and volume of your long hair, this hairstyle is just the right choice. This look is scorching and fashionable. The model here has treated her hair with blonde highlights, adding a rich dimension to her brunette locks. This subtle ombre hairstyle was set in rollers to achieve even groovy waves all through the sides and back, then draped over the shoulders for a sexy finish.

This 'do is an excellent way to add some volume to your hair. If you have long hair, you can go for this hairdo and make your look more attractive. The best part of this hairdo is that it will suit all face shapes, and you can flaunt yourself at various parties or occasions. This is a hairstyle that suits an triangle face shape. If you have a triangle face, your jawline is wider than the forehead, so it would help if you drew attention away from your jawline. You can do so by having fringes and bangs. Wavy hair that reaches the shoulders or is longer, with side-swept bangs, looks suitable on this face shape.

You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trimming after 4 to 6 weeks and toning treatments to maintain your color into an auburn brunette. This formal hairdo is easy to re-create at home with the right tools and needs product for shine and hold.

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 hot roller is used to give your hair a larger curl and to add lots of 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 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 6

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.
