Machine Gun Kelly Short Wavy Blonde Hairstyle with Layered Bangs

Colson Baker, also known as Machine Gun Kelly has taken the world by storm with his outrageous outfits, epic music, and of course, being engaged to Megan Fox. He has an iconic hairstyle that will suit almost any face shape. This hairstyle has a lot of layers! Layering adds texture, depth, and shape, keeping your tresses from appearing flat and one-dimensional. Adding layers can also encourage curl or wave patterns and allow you to add volume and thickness to fine hair without sacrificing length. Layered hair tends to be more lively and has more movement. Hairstyles with bangs can accentuate certain facial features and hide or flatter others. Bangs can be a great complement to your eyes, for instance. To draw attention to large eyes, choose fine wispy bangs that fall straight down or to the side of your face.

Ideally, you should cut your hair every 4 weeks or so to maintain the shape of your haircut and to ensure that the color stays on your hair well. The color will need to be touched up at least every six weeks if you are adding it as well, to ensure that it stays vibrant and that your roots do not show.

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 Paddle Brush

A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.

3. Blow-dry Bangs Forward

When blow-drying your bangs forward, clip your hair back leaving only your bangs out. Position your bangs evenly in your brush, taking the hair in a forward direction. Blow-dry from roots to ends, keeping the tension consistent, and evenly distribute heat over the whole section of hair that you are working on. Repeat until the hair is dry. This will stop any frizz that may occur.

4. 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.

5. 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.
