Short And Sophisticated Sculpted Light Blonde Hairstyle


Added: 19 Sep 2018
The back and sides of this short and sophisticated 'do are tapered into the head blending into the top layers that are swept to the side for shape and style. The front is swept across the forehead to soften the face and completes the over-all look brilliantly. Product is needed to keep this style in place and regular trims are needed every 4-6 weeks.

Our model is looking elegant here in a short and sculpted hairstyle. It is flattering to her features as the side-swept fringe helps to balance out the length of her face and the asymmetrical styling helps to keep a focus on her best features - her bright, expressive eyes and high cheekbones. Her facial features are complemented by this short 'do and her side swept bangs focus the attention on her beautiful eyes. The end result is a feminine, modern and sophisticated look. This is a great option for women with straight hair.

Our model is a natural blonde with green eyes and a peaches and cream complexion. Here, she goes for a natural looking cream color all over. Subtle golden highlights are added to show off her cut nicely, while harmonizing with her eye color, skin tone and eyebrows. This color also produces a glossy, healthy looking finish for her locks. Touch ups are needed every now and then to keep the color looking vibrant, especially at the roots.

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

A small radial brush is used on shorter hair types to add more body or in longer hair types to create curl. 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 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

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 7

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 8

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush underneath the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a forward and downward direction with your blow-dryer above. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly above.


step 9

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


step 10

Apply a small amount of moulding cream to your fingers and then pinch the ends on the right hand side of your style down and forward for face-framing texture.


step 11

Apply a small amount of moulding cream to your fingers and then pinch the ends on the left hand side of your style down and forward for face-framing texture.


step 12

Apply moulding cream to your fingertips then gently rake through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the right as you go. Be careful not to use too much product as it can become sticky and clumpy.
