Curly Shoulder-Length Golden Hairstyle with Light Blonde Highlights


Added: 30 Aug 2012
This golden curly ‘do is perfect for the summer season, when you want to be pulled together and look stylish yet have plenty of movement in your overall look. It has a natural shine that only adds to its beauty. The blonde highlights add dimension and interest while also helping increase hair density which will help repair damaged ends.

Our model is perfectly flaunting this 'do by wearing a black chiffon top with sharp smudge eyeliner which makes her eyes look brighter in this style. Full and bouncy is the main aim of this medium-length hairstyle. The ends are blunt cut for easy maintenance with subtle layers cut around the back and sides to help enhance the movement. This style is suitable for women with oval, oblong, and square face shapes. It can also be worn by those who have thin to medium-density hair. The sleek and stylish cut will look great on most face shapes but if you have a wider one, it will not suit you well as the style will emphasize your facial features. It also works best with women with fine to medium-texture hair as it gives a lightweight feel to your style. This dainty 'do is great for any occasion and needs a little product for hold and shine.

If you want to keep your hair looking fabulous, regular trimming is necessary. Do not forget about toning treatments for root touch-ups, they can work wonders for keeping your hair vibrancy. It is also a promising idea to spray a little bit of hairspray through the sides for extra hold and body. These tips are essential for keeping your hair healthy and looking great!

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

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 3

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 4

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 5

To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.


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 left. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 7

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


step 8

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 9

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 10

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


step 11

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 12

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.
