If You Have Long Thick Hair Try This Sleek Hair Style

If you’re looking for a new hair style for long thick hair, look no further. Trade Taylor of Victoria Station Hair Salon in Vienna, VA knows the challenge is keeping most of the length while adding a new shape and movement. Her solution is to concentrate on layering the front so it lightens up enough to be swept up and away. Not only does this prevent thick hair from overpowering your face, it also adds dramatic flair to your hair style. Hair is blunt-cut in back and worn in front of the shoulders to enhance the effect. Styling doesn’t take too long because most of the work is done on the ends.

• This Hair Style Works Best If:

  • Your hair is medium to thick hair in volume and medium in texture.

  • Your hair is naturally straight.

    

• This Hair Style Requires:

  • Daily blow-drying. Start with freshly shampooed hair. Towel-dry and begin drying with your blow-dryer set on high heat to remove excess moisture. Once hair is damp, mist on a spray gel and begin turning ends up and pulling them out to the sides. Use a large-diameter round brush for the full-sweep effect. Once hair is completely dry, mist on a finishing spray and detail the ends with your fingers.

  • A trim every 6 to 8 weeks.

• This Hair Style is Not Recommended If:

  • Your hair is coarse or wiry.
