Amber Stevens Long Straight Dark Brunette Hairstyle


Added: 06 Nov 2017
The ends and of this style are layer cut, then blow-waved perfectly to smooth down the top and kick the ends out for a sexy look and feel. The 'do is parted in the center to complete the over-all hairstyle brilliantly. Product is needed to tame fly-away hair and add shine.

Amber Stevens goes for a cool, casual look here with a center parted layered cut that falls to her chest. This hairstyle might be simple but it is anything but boring, thanks to her vibrant color and glossy strands. Amber has an oblong face shape which has an overly vertical silhouette to it that is flattered nicely by this simple hairstyle. The grown out fringe and center part works well with her rounded hairline and frames her eyes nicely. This ‘do can also be pulled back for extra versatility and is a great option for ladies with this face shape and hair type.

Amber has a medium-dark, warm complexion and can pull off both golden, brunette and black hair colors the best. Here she is rocking a rich chocolate brown base, with subtle caramel brown highlights through the mid-lengths and ends that looks fantastic with her glowing complexion and dark eyes. This is a chic and fashion-forward way to add highlights to the hair without going the traditional route. This color technique is ideal for thick, straight hair like Amber's and can be modified to be more subtle or more bold, depending on your look.

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

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose 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 middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.


step 3

A large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 4

Starting at the nape/back of the hair, place your brush on top of the section and blow-dryer down starting from the roots and using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Make sure to follow the brush with the blow-dryer in an outwards direction. If you like fuller flicks, hold the ends out and roll them up into the brush and apply the heat for longer.


step 5

To blow-dry the sides, take out your first sections from the front and clip the rest of the hair up. Place your brush on top of the section, and starting from the roots, blow-dry down using tension as you go. Next, place the blow-dryer underneath the hair and continue to blow-dry the ends out. Continue this step until the hair is dry.


step 6

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 7

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush underneath the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a forward and downward direction with your blow-dryer above. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly above.


step 8

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush underneath the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a forward and downward direction with your blow-dryer above. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly above.


step 9

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 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.
