Mariska Hargitay has grown her hair longer and she has been wearing it straight in the sedu style over the past year. Her short hairstyles were very attractive on her, but this new look is very becoming as well. This textured straight bang and hairstyle is actually a more youthful look for her. She looks great.

She has medium brown hair with golden highlights that really shine in the sunlight. Her hair color has a very soft appearance.

Mariska plays the role of Detective Olivia Benson on the TV show "Law and Order Special Victims Unit" where she has to keep a more professional image on the show so she is usually seen with her hair pulled back. Here in this picture of her taken at the 58th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, she is wearing her hair long and down which looks sexy enough for an evening out.

The long straight sedu hairstyle with bangs seems to be popular amoung some other female celebrities like Reese Witherspoon as well. To get this great look for yourself, start with a layered cut that has graduated lengths to frame the face and bangs that brush over the eyebrows. Blow-dry hair using a large round brush in a downward motion and touch up with a flat iron to seal the cuticle and add that healthy looking shine.
