Mary Holland Long Wavy Dark Brunette Hairstyle


Added: 06 Sep 2015
Loose waves are dressed all through the sides and back of these brunette locks to give this hairstyle plenty of body and volume making this look perfect to frame a long face. The bangs are smoothed over to the side to soften the face and completes the over-all style brilliantly.

Mary Holland looks gorgeous here in wavy brown chestnut locks. Not only does her hair look ultra healthy but her hairstyle suits her face shape and facial features beautifully. Mary has an oblong or rectangular face shape, which can result in the face looking too ‘long’ without the right hairstyle. Mary doesn’t have this problem however as her ‘do makes the most of her features. Like most oblongs, Mary looks best in a deep side part and either a side-swept or full on fringe. This hides the typical high forehead that this face shape has. Thick and voluminous hairstyles that have waves or curls add more width to the face and balances it out nicely, as Mary shows us here.

The color is another standout feature of this ‘do. Mary has brown eyes and a tanned complexion, making her suited to rich brown and red hair tones. Here, she is flaunting a luxe chocolate brown shade that has red undertones for extra vibrancy.

Mary Holland is an American actress, best known for her work in Blunt Talk and Cinnamon Sugar.

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

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


step 3

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 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

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 6

To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and remembering to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by starting at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.


step 7

A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.


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


step 10

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 11

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.
