Short Face-Framing Blonde Two-Tone Hairstyle


Added: 18 May 2011
This short, straight platinum blonde hairstyle is styled to perfection. Grown-out blonde highlights added to the hair make it look much longer than it is, making this style very easy to maintain. The side-swept bangs give an edgy look that is sure to impress anyone. This sophisticated hairstyle is not only feminine but also super easy to recreate. Our model brings out the best in this short 'do with her smoky eyes. It is a lovely hairstyle that is well-suited for all occasions. The side-swept bangs are a nice touch and suited for a long face shape. The hair has been colored throughout, with blonde highlights at the roots and the sides. For hair styling, the back of this two-toned 'do is tapered into the neck with razor or sliced layers cut up through the sides and front to create this asymmetric style best suited for those with a wild side. The bangs are blow-dried smooth to frame the face and complete the style magnificently. This style works for women with oval, oblong, square, or diamond face shapes. The light blonde highlights will add a different dimension to your style, and adding volume to the crown will create balance and body.

With a high shine and overall luster, this short hairstyle is the perfect choice for party visits, special occasions, or almost any day events. This style suits a woman looking for a modern and contemporary look. The hair is compressed and voluminous using a round brush. Regular trimming after 4 to 6 weeks helps keep this hairstyle in shape and makes it look even more beautiful and uniform.

step 1

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.


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

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.


step 4

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


step 5

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


step 6

Apply some wax to your fingertips and then pull through the ends of your hair in a downward motion to achieve a sculptured look. Pinch clumps of hair in different directions for a messier result.


step 7

Using a small amount of wax, work it through the mid-lengths and ends in a downward, pinching motion. For added texture, apply more pinching and more wax.


step 8

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 9

Apply some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.


step 10

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.
