Description
If you are looking for a short and carefree hairstyle, look no further. Our model looks sweet and sophisticated with corkscrew curls in her medium length blonde locks, which gives this hairstyle bounce and movement. This elegant hairstyle is designed to be worn with bangs, twists or curls. The look is simple yet striking and modern. This sophisticated light blonde hairstyle is perfect for spring and summer, as this type of long hair is versatile. Her hair is parted just off-center and with the added body and volume at the crown, this 'do is great to frame an oblong or oval face shape. It can be worn in several ways, depending on your needs and preferences!
The subtle curls give this hairstyle a little movement, but you could also wear it straight if you prefer. You can quickly achieve this look by creating loose waves with your fingertips or curling iron. You just need to make some waves around your face in the front while leaving the top area of your head free. This sophisticated and cute mid-length hairstyle with corkscrew curls is ideal for framing the face in a way that flatters your oval or oblong face shape. The classic, pin-straight hair is part-way down the back of the neck, with a few inches from the ears to shoulder length on top.
Do you want to maintain your hair color and style? You don't need expensive salon treatments. The right products can do the trick! Depending on your natural hair color, you may need a toner or shampoo. Your color will benefit from regular toning treatments, and you should try using a purple or blue shampoo, especially for light blonde hair. You can also use a clarifying treatment once every eight weeks to remove any dead protein buildup in your hair between regular trims and color applications. Product is needed for hold and shine and regular trims will help prevent split ends.

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 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.
Working in sections starting from the back, place the paddle brush close to the roots and drag it through the strands slowly, taking care not to overheat your hair. Once dry, continue to a new section, completing the back, the sides and then the top section last of all.
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.
Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in an outwards direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Repeat this step and then once the roots are dry, drag the brush to the mid-lengths and then slowly turn the brush in an inwards direction, flicking it through the ends.

A large hot roller is used to give your hair a larger curl and to add lots of body.
Take a section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically, making sure to roll it backwards, along the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.
Take a section of hair from the nape no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically down the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.
To finish, evenly mist gel spray around the top, sides and back to create a lasting style.
