Long Blonde Waves With Light Blonde Highlights


Added: 03 Mar 2014
If you have a long face and are looking for a hairstyle that adds character to it, then this hairstyle is the one for you. It is suitable for any occasion, whether attending a party, going out on a date, or just hanging out with friends. It looks best when styled with mousse and hairspray and can be worn by people with long faces and shapes like oval, oblong, square, or diamond.

Our model in this 'do looks gorgeous with her blonde hair and light blonde highlights. She is flaunting her natural beauty with minimal makeup, and her cute dimples are on display. This highlighted 'do is blow-waved beautifully to smooth out the top while the mid-lengths to ends are dressed in stunning waves giving the overall look plenty of body and volume. This hairstyle is all about the lovely flowing waves on top and the light blonde highlights that are just enough to add a touch of glamour to your hair. The long bangs hanging in front of the forehead perfectly frame the face and simultaneously make this hairstyle look dramatic yet elegant. It is an excellent choice for women who want to spice up their look with extra volume at the crown. You can create this look using a medium-sized round brush and blow-drying the hair upwards with a few powerful strokes. Then, you should apply some strong holding hairspray, focusing on the crown area. This style is easy to re-create on any hair type and needs product for hold and shine. You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trimming after 4 to 6 weeks and toning treatments to maintain your color into a light blonde shade if you see your roots turning grey.

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 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 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

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 7

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.


step 8

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.


step 9

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


step 10

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 11

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.
