Long Hairstyle With Curls And Smoothed-Out Bangs


Added: 22 Jul 2010
This long curly hairstyle is made up of soft curls and is a version of the classic "boho" look. This 'do can be flattering on most face shapes, but if you want to take it to another level, make sure that you get your hair cut by someone who knows how to make curls look awesome! Our model is drawing attention to this hairstyle with a glamorous vibe. She wears a black strip top with blunt-cut bangs and emerald jewels on her head. She looks great in this hairdo! Medium to long layers cut through the mid-lengths to ends of this fab 'do enhance the curl and encourages bounce around the back and sides. The bangs are smoothed out straight to create a contrasted look for a sassy finish. This curly hairstyle is long and will create a thick look with texture. Medium-density hair is a must if you want to get a curly look easily. This hairdo is feminine and sophisticated and gives a professional look to any woman with an oval or oblong face shape. This hairstyle will add an element of glamour to your look. Add a light application of hair wax and brush out the curls with a wide-tooth comb, and you're ready to go!

You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trimming after 4 to 6 weeks. To make sure you get the best results, follow the instructions carefully and keep your hair healthy by limiting heat styling and going for breaks when you have a busy schedule. This is an easy style to re-create at home.

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

A large radial brush is usually used on long straight hair types or to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 3

To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.


step 4

To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.


step 5

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 6

A small curling iron is used to create small and tight curls.


step 7

Starting from the back, 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 roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.


step 8

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 9

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 10

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.
