Description
This style is all about ease and simplicity. The ombre effects in the hair make it look super natural, and it takes minimal effort to maintain. So while this model shows you how to create a long hairstyle with the brunette and red tones, she could also be described as a fabulous chick who knows how to have fun!
This medium to long layers are cut through the back and sides of these ombre locks to lighten the length and make it easy to move and shape from mid-lengths to ends. Long and natural-looking waves are an excellent choice for your wedding hairstyle. These waves consist of long tresses that are carefully separated and curled into one another in such a way that gives them a long, elegant, polished look. You can further enhance the long ombre waves with some layers or extensions. A long dark ombre is an excellent style for women with fine or medium hair. It washes out easily, and it's suitable for most face shapes and hair textures.
Your hairstyle will stay in shape if you undergo regular trim after 4 to 6 weeks. If your hair is starting to look a gray and you want to keep it healthy, you may need regular toning treatments to help bring back the brunette ombre waves. To tame fly-away strands, you may need a small amount of product.

Styling Steps
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.
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 mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
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.
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.
