Description

The colors of this hairstyle are too die for! The light blonde base with the silver highlights really work well with Rita Oras' complexion. The path right down the middle allows the curls to shape her face equally on both sides which is lovely. The curls not only shape her face but they also give this look life and bounce when she struts her stuff down the red carpet.

The hairstyle will not take long to do, however, you are going to need to touch up the color once every 6 weeks or so to ensure that the color does not fade and that your roots do not show. You are also going to need to trim your hair every 6 weeks or so to ensure that your hair looks healthy and stays split end free.

You can wear glasses with this look if you want to. Makeup-wise, a dark smokey eye, and a nude or pink lip will really tie this look together nicely.

Styling Steps

1. Part the Middle

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.

2. Curl Mid-lengths and Ends with a Curling Iron

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.

3. Pinch Hair for Texture Using Wax

To finish the look, apply wax to your fingertips, making sure to smooth the wax over all of your fingers, then simply pinch the wax onto the ends of your hair, applying as much or as little as needed.

4. Softly Flick Sides Using Wax

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips, and then starting about halfway down the hair shaft, pinch and drag the hair in a downward motion before flicking the ends out. Remember not to apply too much wax as it will weigh your hair down.

5. 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.
