Sarah Chalke Long Straight Chestnut Brunette Hairstyle


Added: 17 May 2012
Sarah Chalke has unveiled a darker shade of hair here, going from her signature light blonde to warm light golden brown. First, let’s look at her complexion. Sarah has pink undertones in her skin that often clash with the buttery blonde shades she is used to flaunt. This shade is much softer next to her skin and neutralizes any excess pink. The light brown hair color makes her eye color more intense without washing out the rest of her face, like the blonde did. These lovely locks are blow-waved smooth from root to tip with only a little movement added to the ends for shape and movement. This beautiful 'do is great for any special occasion and can be easily re-created at home with the right tools and products.

Finally, her makeup style seems better suited to this soft hair color. Sarah often wears shades of gold and chalky pinks to match her light hair tone, but unfortunately it doesn't harmonize well with her skin tone. Thanks to her darker hair color, Sarah can wear muted greys on the eyes and a subtle rose pink on the lips - perfection!

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

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind.


step 6

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind.


step 7

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


step 8

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 9

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.
