Laverne Cox Long Wavy Light Caramel Brunette Hairstyle with Layered Bangs and Blonde Highlights


Added: 20 Sep 2015
These lush locks are left out to fall over the shoulders showing off the soft waves dressed through the mid-lengths to ends for shape and movement. The bangs are smoothed down straight to frame the top of the face and completes the over-all 'do brilliantly.

Laverne Cox is working a sexy and seductive look here with her ultra long locks that have been styled up with large mermaid waves. Laverne has an oval face shape and large, expressive facial features that are shown off nicely with this ‘do. Laverne’s choppy eye-skimming fringe creates a nice frame for her eyes while her tumbling waves finish off the look. Her curls have been left in tact for a polished evening look but could be transformed for the daytime with some sea salt spray and finger styling.

Laverne’s color steals the show here and is further highlighted by the soft, silky finish of this ‘do. Having a warm, medium complexion and dark eyes, Laverne can pull off golden blondes and browns nicely. Here, she goes for a dark golden brown base with sun-kissed blonde highlights all over.

Laverne Cox is an American actress, reality television star, television producer, and LGBT advocate, best known for her portrayal of Sophia Burset on the Netflix television series Orange Is the New Black.

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

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


step 4

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 5

A large hot roller is used to give your hair a larger curl and to add lots of body.


step 6

Take the entire back section of your hair, and then starting from the crown, take a smaller section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller down the hair shaft until it meets your head and then secure it in place with a pin or clip. Repeat this step until you have reached the nape of your neck and the entire back section of your hair is completed. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 7

Take a section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically, making sure to roll it backwards, along the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 8

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


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.
