Added: 10 Nov 2010
This classic medium hairstyle is both effortless and stylish. The longer layers make this a more memorable choice for everyday wear, while the soft cut of the style ensures that you look put together.

Our stunning model is wearing a topless gown with smokey eye makeup that complements her blonde highlights in this ash hair color. It is a fab 'do for those looking for a style with plenty of movement and bounce. Subtle layers are cut around the sides and back to maintain balance and shape. The hairstyle is a versatile look that will look great on most women. It works well with various face shapes and hair textures, though you will want to emphasize your curls with texturizing products to match your natural texture. The hairstyle is great for women with fine to medium hair texture who wish to add bounce, volume, and fullness to the crown. This style is excellent for those who love a look that's easy to manage with flat irons, curling irons, and styling tools like gel or mousse. This curly hairstyle will help you to create more volume, enhance your curl pattern and make a fashion statement on any occasion.

You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trims from 4 to 6 weeks to prevent split ends. Styling this medium hairstyle is easy by using just a few products and tools. A heat protector helps protect your hair from damage, and then mousse and smoothing shine will give you the perfect volume. Finish off with a hair spray to hold it all day!

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 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

Lift your hair up with your fingers and move the diffuser up to the ends, motioning the diffuser to the scalp in circular movements. Make sure the blow-dryer speed is on low and try not to completely dry the hair off. Leaving a little bit of moisture will allow the hair to dry naturally.


step 4

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


step 5

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 6

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 7

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.
