Long and Bold Curly Hair

This is curly hair at its most bold and dramatic: a long shag cut that embraces volume, texture, and personality. The length extends past the shoulders, but what makes this cut special is the extensive layering that creates movement and brings a slight rock-and-roll vibe.
 
The layers are cut in varying lengths throughout, with shorter pieces around the crown and face that create lift and volume, and longer pieces underneath that provide weight and swing. This creates a rounded silhouette that's full of life and energy.
 
The fringe is a standout feature here: curly, textured, and falling across the forehead in a tousled way. This is not a precise, blunt fringe but rather a soft, broken-up curtain of curls that adds a romantic, slightly bohemian feel to the overall style. The face-framing layers continue this theme, with pieces of varying lengths that curl around the cheekbones and jawline.
 
The hair color is complex: predominantly deep chocolate brown with caramel and copper highlights. The darker base gives the style weight and drama, while the warm highlights create movement and catch light. The placement of the highlights appears to focus on the front sections and throughout the crown, which is strategic. It brightens the face and creates the illusion of even more volume in the hair.

The pairing with the vibrant red satin shirt over a blue turtleneck is genius. It's bold, color-blocked, and modern. The complementary color scheme (red and blue are near-opposites on the color wheel) creates energy that matches the vivacious nature of the hair. The warm red of the shirt picks up the copper tones in the highlights, while the cool blue provides beautiful contrast.
