Medium Hairstyle With Contrasting Smooth Bangs And Curls


Added: 21 Jan 2010
This medium hairstyle is a great choice for those looking for a low-maintenance look. It is a style that suits most face shapes, and it works best on women with straight hair. The length of the hair brings out the eyes, so it should be cut at shoulder-length or above.

Our model perfectly flaunts this hairstyle with a sky-blue-colored jacket and a no-makeup look, bringing attention to her blunt-cut bangs. The combination of smooth bangs and curly mid-lengths to ends creates contrast. This hairstyle can be easily re-created with a curling iron and will hold well with some hairspray. This 'do is long enough to make a fuller look but short enough to accentuate your bone structure, making it an excellent choice for those with a round face shape. It is also complimentary on women with oval and oblong faces, while the soft waves making it versatile and suited to almost any hair texture. The style is easy to maintain, great for all seasons, and will last a long time. It is a great option to add some length to your natural hair.

You can maintain this style with regular trims between 4 to 6 weeks. Spray a small amount of hairspray into your roots for extra volume, then hold it in place while you shampoo. This wavy hairstyle is ideal for all occasions.

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

When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.


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

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.


step 7

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.


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.
