Description
Try this long blonde curly look on for size if you want to spice up your hairstyle and add a little color this season. The straight strands at the top are highlighted with mahogany, where the ends are spiked with blunt-cut bangs to add height. This two-toned mane is styled into well-defined curls, giving the overall hairstyle a well-balanced combination of bounce and movement. The bangs are blow-waved straight down to frame the top of the face and complete the overall hairdo brilliantly. This is a fantastic style to wow any crowd on any special occasion.
It is a beautiful style that looks great on any woman. It gives your body volume and even thickness depending on the direction of the parting. The smooth texture allows this cut to move quickly without skipping or catching, no matter your activity level. This stunning hairstyle is easy to style and is perfect for ladies who want a classic look. The weave can be worn down but give it some texture by twisting at the tip. Add shine by applying your favorite hair oil or a heat-protectant spray before styling. This long style can also be blown dry and styled with a flat iron to create voluminous curls or even wavy waves!
You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trimming after 4 to 6 weeks and toning treatments, so your light mahogany blonde shade color can be maintained if your roots are turning grey. A product is needed for shine and hold.

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.
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.
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.
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 medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.
Starting from the back, 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 roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.
Starting at the front, 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 roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until all of the hair through your front and sides has been curled.
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips, and then using your fingers, rake through your bangs pinching the ends as you go to create a feathered, textured effect.
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.
