Elle Macpherson Long Wavy Ash Brunette Hairstyle with Light Blonde Highlights


Added: 02 Feb 2012
Here Elle has toned down the hair volume, and the brassiness (good call Elle!) for a much softer look. She’s still sticking with the center part, but a side hair part would work well on her diamond face shape and high forehead to create better proportion. Her waves look more natural here but the thickness and sheer volume of her hair is so heavy, some layering wouldn’t go amiss. This casual hairdo is great for those who don't have time to style their locks. These locks are left out showing off the soft waves which gives the over-all look movement and subtle bounce. This is easy to re-create with a large curling iron or perfect for those with naturally wavy hair.

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 your blow-dryer, dry your hair using your fingers, separating the hair and allowing it to dry at the roots first then the mid lengths and then the ends. Making sure the roots are dry first will ensure that your hairstyle does not fall flat.


step 3

A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.


step 4

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 5

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.
