Angelina Jolie

We're totally over Brangelina, but we're not over her luscious locks!

How do you get that long sexy hair that Angelina Jolie wears so well? It seems very simple and natural. However, many long hair wearers suffer from flat and limp hair that has none of the star quality look seen here. This is because the weight of the long hair often pulls it flat. Ms Jolie’s hair is always full and never flat or limp.

If this is the look you want, first have your hair trimmed into long layers that will lessen the weight at the top. Shampoo and condition your hair with body-building products. Towel dry and apply firm styling foam or glaze at the root area (close to your head) and work it outward. Blow your hair dry with whatever method gives you the most fullness. This is often by starting with your head turned upside down, drying the hair at the root area first and then working on the ends. When your hair is just damp, flip your head right side up and finish drying it. Get big loose waves in your hair by curling 6 or 7 large sections of hair with a large curling iron. Separate the waves with your fingers. To get rid of the fine, wispy texture and achieve a sexy, lived in look, use hair crème or light pomade. Put a small amount into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together vigorously. Then run your fingers through your hair several times. This will deposit a very light coating of the crème on each hair, separating it, giving it body and taking away the "too clean" appearance.

Wear your hair off your face, as Angelina Jolie often does, by rolling your bangs or front area, back with a large curling iron and then brushing it so that is smoothly blends into the hair in the back. This will provide height and fullness around your face. Use the creme or pomade or a small amount of hair gel around the hairline to keep it back. Spray with hairspray at the hairline only to add support and control.

Ms Jolie wears many shades of hair color successfully. Her hair color choices have ranged from dark chocolate brown to light bombshell blond. My favorite is dark brown with subtle highlights that brighten her face and accentuate the waves and lines of her hairstyle. These highlights may be achieved by using a light brown tint as directed on the package.
