Stylized and timeless, this long straight hairstyle exemplifies a classic beauty. Styling with side-swept bangs and a mocha brown color on your strands will add depth and dimension to your style. And if you have naturally curly hair, this look can give your curls a nice sleek finish.
Our model is wearing side-swept bangs in dark mocha brunette hair color, a charming smile, and winged eyeliner eyes. She wears black and white pearl studs in her ears which match the white top. These lovely chocolate brown locks are worn over the shoulders, showing off the luscious length. The crown is teased for height and control, making it a great look to complement a round face. The bangs are smoothed over to the side and complete the overall style magnificently. This hairstyle is for you if you want to create volume and height at the crown with angled layers in the back. If you want a casual look, this is the perfect hairstyle. Round, heart, and oval face shapes can wear it well. When it's time to revitalize your hair, this straight 'do with side-swept bangs may be just what you need!
This hairstyle will produce a sharp and clean look for any day or night. A convenient combo of long straight hair and dark brown mochas make this hairstyle an ideal choice for your next date night. It is a long classic hairstyle with a neat, straight fringe. For those who want to keep their hair short, one trim every 4-6 weeks will help maintain a healthy look and feel. Use your finishing products to smooth down the ends and direct your hair into place.

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.
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.
To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and remembering to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by starting at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.
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.
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.
