Malin Akerman Long Wavy Light Blonde Hairstyle with Blunt Cut Bangs


Added: 22 Jul 2015
Only soft movement is added to the sides and back of these light blonde locks to help give the over-all style a little bounce and shape. The bangs are smoothed down to frame the top of the face and completes the over-all look magnificently. Regular trims is needed to prevent split ends.

Malin Akerman goes for a sexy tousled look here with her blonde wavy ‘do. Malin has a square face shape which benefits from long layered styles that has some softness to them. Here, this softness is created by the soft waves throughout and layered ends. Full bangs are not the best option for square face shapes as it tends to create a boxy effect around the face, so an arched shaped that tapers down close to the cheekbones is recommended.

Malin has a warm fair complexion and blue eyes so she looks best in warm sunny shades like the buttery blonde tone seen here. This gives her complexion a nice glow and brings out her eyes. For extra definition, she could highlight her hair with icy blonde tones for a sun-kissed look. Women with fair, warm skin can pull off this shade well.

Malin Akerman is a Swedish Canadian actress, model and singer.

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

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.


step 4

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


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.


step 6

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.
