Brunette shade actually look great with a sleek style and glossy finish and I don't think you have any problem with that.
If your hair cut is ear-level in front with the back falling to shoulder length then you should focus to play with crown layers to promote fullness. This would be the center of attention for this type of style.
Have the underneath layers sleek straight. Blow dry the top layers from crown in different sections over a round brush and coax the hair to the side including your fringe in a way that underneath layers are visible and not fully cover. Hold them in place using gel spray and finish with wax.
Change your products by: Gina
I know how you feel. I also had a waist length hair. I cut mine last year and now every three months I let it grow and look for a new style. Best thing I ever did was to get a short hair. Its fun and easy. Took me weeks to get use to it, but now I can style it easy. The key is in products. I had to change almost all my products. Start with easy styles and you get better and better in time.
NO GEL! by: Anonymous
The way u described the hair with the gel, dont do it ;S Girls that gel their hair when its like shoulder to ear length, it looks eeew ;S
Sorry thats my opinion, try straightening it or straighten it and ad volume by using hair products. Maybe straighten it and add some curls, or try putting mouse in your hair to make it look wavey/curly, it will look gorg ;)
Hope these tips helped ;) xox
finger waves by: Anonymous
What it sounds like you r looking for is "finger waves" it was popular in the thirties i think. They used to have finger waves around the head and at the bottom they had "pin curls" if u google it you can probably find a video or something to show u how to do it. Its very tricky, you may need someone to do it for you. There r also 3 barrel curling irons now for doing something like that but they r better for long hair hope i helped :p
