Added: 11 Nov 2010
This long, straight, golden brunette hairstyle with side-swept bangs is full of natural shine and perfect for a bold girl who wants to show off her personality. This hairstyle will give you beautiful long locks while creating a flattering silhouette. It's a soft, light, and elegant golden brunette hairstyle that's suitable for any occasion.

Our model is wearing this long straight golden brunette hairstyle with side-swept bangs, and has chosen a bright golden makeup look for her sharp facial features. This style is great for a night out. For the hair styling, shaggy angled layers have been sliced at the top and graduated to the ends to give this style a textured and shaped finish. Long bangs have also been side swept to soften the look around the face. The sides have been sliced and thinned out to create textured edges and add more volume around the crown. The back has also been sliced and thinned for an even look. The side-swept bangs, which give your face a nice oval shape and make your eyes pop, add to the overall effect. The hair color looks smooth and shiny as if you're in a magazine. The hairstyle is perfect for women with medium to thick hair density, who want to look chic and sophisticated.

This hairstyle is ideal for those who want to give their hair a break from tight buns or updos. To prevent split ends, you can maintain this hairstyle with regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks. It is a great hairstyle to keep up with your busy lifestyle. It's easy to maintain and doesn't require much maintenance time. Fluff the styling products into the ends of your hair and pinch as you go to create textured edges.

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

Apply sculpture lotion to the palm of the hand and then place it evenly throughout the hair. Sculpture lotion can be used as an alternative to mousse for messy hair, as a styling aid when blow-drying for volume, and for a stronger hold.


step 3

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 4

It is always a good idea to work in sections. This will help to make your hair styling quicker, easier to follow and more orderly. Comb your hair out and place your hair up into four equal sections, two in front and two in back, starting from ear to ear.


step 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 9

To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and remembering to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by starting at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.


step 10

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 11

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 12

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


step 13

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


step 14

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 15

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.
