Medium Straight Light Platinum Blonde Hairstyle


Added: 14 Jun 2012
An excellent and straightforward medium-length ‘do. It is the perfect example of a style you can wear without looking out of place. The subtle highlights provide an extra pop of color and style, while the light platinum blonde tones add depth to the color.

Our ravishing model perfectly flaunts this 'do by wearing a sky-blue top with minimalistic makeup look in this enchanting style. These light blonde locks are blow-waved out and back, giving this formal hairstyle plenty of shape and width best suited to complement a long narrow face. This ‘do is perfect for women with medium to thin hair density and face shapes that are oval, oblong and heart-shaped. This look is excellent for thinning or coarse hair textures; it is easy to style and provides body and volume, so it works well on all hair types. This ‘do is easy to re-create at home with the right tools, and product making is as perfect ‘do for all the upcoming events in the row!

If you want to keep your hairstyle looking great, schedule regular trimmings every 4 to 6 weeks. And for added fullness and texture, spritz on some extra hairspray to help hold the style in place. With some maintenance, you can rock this look all year long!

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 left 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 left 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

Starting at the nape/back of the hair, place your brush on top of the section and blow-dryer down starting from the roots and using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Make sure to follow the brush with the blow-dryer in an outwards direction. If you like fuller flicks, hold the ends out and roll them up into the brush and apply the heat for longer.


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 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 7

To blow-dry your bangs you will need to take your brush and firstly make sure the section is no wider than the diameter of the brush. Next, place your brush on top of your head and under your section. Using your blow-dryer on a medium setting, blow-dry your hair from the roots, slowly working your way to the ends. Make sure to keep the blow-dryer in front of the brush at all times. Continue this step until the bangs are completely dry.


step 8

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.
