Added: 20 Apr 2011
This is a short hairstyle that aims to be on-trend and easy to style. The side-swept bangs add softness and the highlights are blonde, which will soften your face for a beautiful contrast. Our model with curls in this hairstyle is wearing minimal makeup on her face and has fancy tresses to move the focus on the hairdo. It is a gorgeous, finely crafted hairstyle that looks beautiful and the hair color works exceptionally well with the model's skin tone. This hairstyle is for women who want to look glamorous and stylish simultaneously. For the hair styling, the back of this short hairdo is tapered into the back of the neck for shape, with graduating layers cut up to the top and sides forming this fab 'do which is easily styled into curls to give this look bounce and movement. This hairstyle is excellent for all ages and can be easily re-created with a curling iron or rollers. This 'do will enhance your delicate facial features and will suit oval, oblong, square and diamond face shapes. The relaxed nature of this hairstyle will emphasize your feminine lines. This look is great if you want a classically elegant look and want to flaunt your natural beauty.

If you want the look of a short curly hairstyle with the feel of your hair off to one side, this is a style to consider. You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trimming after 4 to 6 weeks and continue to style it any way you wish. It is also a good choice for those with thin hair and it will make your face look slimmer.

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 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 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

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 6

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized 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

Starting at the front, 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 all of the hair through your front and sides has been curled.


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.
