Spirited by Essensuals Hairdressing

Long flowing hair
 
Toni&Guy Group of salons and salon professionals, under the banner of Essensuals, bring us their "Spirited" collection. The hairstyles revel in the glory of very long flowing locks, evoking images of wind-swept landscapes and passionate moments.
 

Long Blunt Cut

Long blunt cut hair
 
The Cut: The styles in the "Spirited" collection all work from a basic long blunt cut, with razor texturing.
 
The Color: The color is a natural-looking blonde, soft and pale with neutral tones.
 
The Style: To create this look, the hair is blown straight (although it is naturally straight) and further smoothed using a flat iron and smoothing product. Keep the "hold" products such as hairsprays and gels to a minimum to allow for maximum movement and freedom in the very long hairstyle.

The Color: The color is a natural-looking blonde, soft and pale with neutral tones.
 
The Style: The hair is blown straight and ironed smooth with little product to prevent stiffening and allow the hair to have freedom of movement and treated with a smoothing serum to keep it tangle-free. The hair in the fringe area is twisted to form a roll at the forehead and gathered behind the ear to create a focal point for the style.
