Elizabeth Banks Medium Wavy Hairstyle


Added: 19 Aug 2015
These blonde locks are blow-waved and styled into large waves to give this style plenty of body and volume making this a fantastic hairdo to complement a long face. This formal style is easy to re-create at home with the right tools and needs product for hold and shine.

Elizabeth Banks goes for a glamorous evening look here with this curled shoulder length ‘do. Elizabeth has a high forehead and square jaw line, making her suited to styles that are medium to long in length and have some smooth waves or curls added throughout. Elizabeth would look particularly good in a fringe to camouflage her high forehead and bring out her eyes more, but her grown out bangs work well too. The curls are directed away from the face, which is a good technique to use to bring out the cheekbones and soften up a strong jaw line.

For her color, Elizabeth likes to stick to medium blonde tones with golden yellow undertones. This is a good choice for her as it matches her tanned skin tone and light blue eyes. Elizabeth has highlights throughout to create a sun-kissed look and add extra dimension.

Elizabeth Banks is an American actress, producer, and director.

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

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


step 7

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.
