Layers are sliced through the front and sides of these lush locks then blow-waved perfectly to create this smooth and glossy style best suited to complement a round face. The bangs are worn down to frame the top of the face and completes the over-all style brilliantly.

Sandra Bullock looks gorgeous here, as usual! Sandra is flaunting a straight and sleek 'do with full bangs that bring all of the attention to her eyes and cheekbones. Sandra has a naturally straight hair texture which is ideal for this type of cut. Her face shape is also flattered by this â€˜do which camouflages her square jawline and gives her face a more oval appearance. The layering around the neck and shoulders is essential for square face shapes like Sandra, who benefit from having their cuts broken up at the ends to reduce bulkiness and boxiness.

As for her color, even though Sandra has experimented with blonde and red shades in the past, she is a brunette at heart. Here she is sporting a golden chestnut base with lighter caramel highlights throughout the ends for a warm, golden finish. This shade warms up Sandraâ€™s cool skin tone and intensifies her brown eye color.

Sandra Bullock is an American actress and film producer. She is one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses and the recipient of an Academy Award.

Styling Steps

1. Apply Moisturizer

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.

2. Use a Medium Radial Brush

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.

3. Blow-dry Straight Back

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.

4. Blow-dry Straight on the Sides

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.

5. Blow-dry Bangs Forward

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.

6. Apply Smoothing Shine

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.

7. Apply Hairspray

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.
