Carrie Preston Medium Straight Dark Red Hairstyle with Side Swept Bangs


Added: 04 May 2015
The length and long layers of this style are jagged cut and left out to sit on the shoulders allowing for a casual and natural look. The top is parted on the side and swept across the forehead to soften the face and completes the over-all look perfectly.

Carrie Preston is embracing the loose wavy bob trend here with fabulous results. Her medium length hair has been layered throughout to show off her natural waves making this an easy to style, wash-and-go hairdo. Her fringe is long and looks gorgeous swept to one side, creating a frame for her eyes while camouflaging a high forehead. Carrie has an oblong face shape, which benefits from this hairstyle that is full of body and adds width to balance out her proportions.

Carrie’s colour is a deep auburn shade that works well with her cool complexion and green eyes. The vibrant red undertones in her hair color gives her skin a healthy, youthful glow while intensifying her blue-green eyes. The all-over color also provides a glossy finish to her locks.

Carrie Preston is an American film and television actress. She is famous for her roles on series such as True Blood and The Good Wife, amongst others.

step 1

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left 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 left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 3

Using your blow-dryer, flip your head upside down and dry your hair using your fingers until your hair is completely dry. Remember, the messier, the better.


step 4

When blow-drying your bangs to the side, section your hair up and clip your hair back to leave only your bangs out. Remember to make sure that your bangs are damp to make blow-drying more effective. Next, take your brush and place it underneath the hair and then blow-dry starting from the roots, adding tension to the hair as you go. Slowly pull your section down to the ends and continue until dry.


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.
