SWEET MEDIUM HAIRSTYLE: This style features longer layers to give the style body and life. Curls make it sweet, but not TOO sweet!

Suitable for:

Face shapes: oval, square, round, heart, diamond

Hair texture: fine, medium or coarse

Hair density: thin, average to thick

Styling:

Maintenance: medium

Time: 15-20 minutes

Techniques: Blow dry and curling iron

Products: volumizing mousse for fine or medium hair, smoothing gel for coarse hair, finishing hairspray and shine spray

Styling Steps:

1. Apply mousse or gel according to hair type.
2. Part hair above the arch in the left eyebrow.
3. Blow dry almost completely.
4. Use a large round brush in the roots to add volume. Finish drying the hair.
5. In the bang area, start on the left at the roots and roll the brush under and across the forehead for that side swept look.
6. Section the hair in horizontal layers. Starting at the bottom in the back, wrap the hair around a large barrel curling iron and twist up about half way. Release the curl after about 30 seconds. DON’T BRUSH THROUGH THE CURLS.
7. Repeat the curling process layer by layer til you finish. For the bang area, make sure to roll the curling iron away from the face, just in the ends.
8. Tease the root area in the crown til you reach the desired volume.
9. Use your fingers to gently break up the curls.
10. Spray the style with a little finishing hairspray to polish off the style and hold down any fly away hairs. Mist the head with a very small amount of shine spray, avoiding roots so hair doesn’t look greasy. Cover the roots with your free hand to protect the roots from the shine.

I have not had a hair cut or color since Sept. '09, as the last 3 hairstylists I had did not listen to me. I have been wanting to grow my hair out, and each one would start chopping off the length in the back, to the point where they had to shave my neck! this is my hair length now in this pix and I am going in today to my mothers TRUSTED hair dresser. I just spoke to her on the phone and she seemed great. I should imagine the end result will be the clincher. I am nervous. Love this style and will add my usual red, blond highlights. Thanks for posting this pix. Awesome!

Too cute - I have wave hair and stylist always blow it out straight so I really don't know what it will look like if I leave my hair natural. Now I see it and love it!
