Layers are sliced all through the sides and back of these blonde locks then blow-waved perfectly to smooth down the top while adding texture to the ends. This simple yet sassy 'do is perfect for those with fine to medium hair and best suited to frame a round face for any occasion. Product is needed to tame fly-away hair.

Annaleigh Ashford is looking beautiful here in a soft and romantic long layered look. Annaleigh has an oval face shape which gives her a lot of opportunity to experiment with hairstyles. Oval faces tend to be the most proportional so a variety of hairstyles will work. Here Annaleigh has her long hair slightly curled at the ends to add softness while the long layers add movement to the cut. Her off-center part and long fringe create a peek a boo effect and allows her eyes to be the focal point. A little height at the crown gives her â€˜do a tousled sexy finish.

Annaleigh has brown eyes with a fair skin complexion. Warm, fair skin tones look best against hues of honey, strawberry blonde and butterscotch. Here Annaleigh is wearing a dark blonde base with light butterscotch highlights. These shades play up the peachiness of her complexion and casts a soft glow on her face. Annaleigh Ashford is an American actress and singer.

Styling Steps

1. Apply Mousse

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.

2. Use a Large Radial Brush

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.

3. Blow-dry the Back Under

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.

4. Blow-dry the Sides Under

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.

5. Piece the Ends Using Wax

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.

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.
