Katherine McNamara Long Wavy Light Copper Red Updo Hairstyle with Light Blonde Highlights


Added: 11 Apr 2016
These strawberry blonde tresses are layered all through the back and sides to maintain a versatile style that is easy to manage with regular trims every 4-6 weeks. A braid is added on each side and pulled back as a headband to add wow-factor to this elegant 'do and completes the over-all style magnificently.

Katherine McNamara looks lovely here in a long layered 'do that completes her look brilliantly. Having medium-fine hair and a heart shaped face, Katherine looks best in longer styles that have layers cut in for movement and shape. Large corkscrew curls have been added in for a beachy look, with the braids adding a final bohemian touch. Layers have been left out around the face to provide Katherine with some forehead coverage and soften up her angular jawline. This 'do can be worn day or night and suits a feminine, romantic or bohemian look the best.

As for her color, Katherine has created a gorgeous strawberry blonde shade by mixing highlights of blonde and copper together. Overall, this compliments her cool, fair complexion brilliantly and makes her amber eyes pop.

Katherine McNamara is an American actress. She is known for her role as Harper Munroe on the MTV comedy series Happyland, and for her lead role as Clary Fray on the Freeform fantasy series Shadowhunters.
