The sides and back of this look are tapered into the head while the longer length through the top is blow-waved perfectly to add a movement and shape. This fancy hairstyle is perfect to turn heads at any special occasion and needs strong hold product to keep it in place all day or night.
Tyra Banks is fond of changing her style up often, and here is no exception. Her latest ‘do looks fabulous on her oval face shape and brings all of the attention to her stunning face. Tyra has model features so obviously, rocking a super short pixie cut is easy for her. But here she has managed to add a retro twist with some flat set curls. The tapered sides of this cut show off Tyra’s long neck, while the heavy fringe in the front covers her high forehead. Overall this is a great cut for Tyra that works with her face shape and hair type well.
Tyra has a very soft-looking complexion that is a gorgeous medium brown tone. She also has eyes with warm green and yellow tones which make her suited to golden and red-based hair colors. Here, she has chosen a mahogany brown base with golden highlights to complete her ‘do. This is an excellent color choice for her as it makes her eyes sparkle and gives her complexion a warm glow.
Tyra Banks is an American model, television personality, talk show host, producer, author, actress, singer and business woman.

Styling Steps
1. Apply Mousse
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.
2. Use a Small Radial Brush
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.
3. Blow-dry Straight Back
Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. 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.
4. Blow-dry the Sides Under
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.
5. Piece the Ends Using Wax
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
6. Apply Hairspray
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.
