Long Straight Brunette Hairstyle


Added: 10 Nov 2010
This is a great hairstyle for those with straight hair. The hair is long and thick but not overly thick, so it doesn't weigh the face down or make a face look wider. There are no surprises when you take this off because it's very obvious how to manage your hair for this style.

Our model is perfectly flaunting a long straight brunette hairstyle with a gleaming appearance. The model is wearing a black topless gown with a nose piercing, and her brown hair color adds charm to this hairstyle. This is a great styling option for a night out or even a night in. This casual yet funky style features soft layers and wispy bangs to add shape. For this hairstyle, the back has been layered up to a medium length to create a lighter edge. The sides feature medium layers which start from the jawline and taper down to the length. If you want to keep your hair short, but don't want to compromise on style, then this long straight asymmetrical bob hairstyle is a great choice. It's perfect for women with oval and oblong face shapes or those with square or triangular faces too. This hairstyle is about the length of the face, with a natural texture and slight bend at the ends. It is an easygoing look that can work well on most types of skin; however, when paired with a darker hair color and lighter skin tone, this style may be too dark for some women.

This hairstyle is perfect for long straight hair and will shape your face like a dream. You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks, but remember that it does not require much maintenance. Spray a small amount of hairspray into your roots for extra volume and hold.

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

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the left. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 8

Take a section of your hair no wider than the diameter of your brush. Place your brush under and at the roots of your section. Then with your blow-dryer above, drag the brush up through the mid-lengths and ends of the hair following with your blow-dryer and pulling the hair to the right. Repeat until your hair is completely dry.


step 9

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 10

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 11

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 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 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 14

Lacquer is great for strong hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be applied from an arms length distance to the entire style.
