Constance Wu Long Wavy Black Hairstyle with Side Swept Bangs


Added: 30 May 2016
One side of this hairdo is styled behind the shoulder leaving the opposite side out to fall over the shoulder showing off the soft waves dressed through the mid-lengths to ends. This look is easy to re-create with the right tools and needs product to tame fly-away hair. Regular trims is needed every 4-6 weeks to prevent split ends.

Constance Wu looks fabulous here in jet black long, silky curls. Constance is a fan of sexy, longer hairstyles which are ideal for her heart-shaped face and straight hair type. The layers and waves in this ‘do give her hair an infusion of body and volume which is essential for her hair type as it tends to fall flat. The side part and grown out fringe also works well for her low, straight hairline. Sweeping the hair behind the shoulder on one side is an easy way to add some extra style to a simple long ‘do like this one, plus it highlights her gorgeous cheekbones.

Constance has a medium, warm complexion and dark eyes which makes her suited to jet black and espresso brown hair the best. Here, she maintains her natural color throughout for an inky, glossy finish. This gives her hair a sleek, chic look, plus it brightens up her complexion and eye color.

Constance Wu is an American actress. Wu is known for her role as Jessica Huang in the ABC comedy series Fresh Off the Boat, for which she received critical acclaim and was nominated for the TCA and Critics' Choice Television awards.

step 1

Evenly mist gel spray around the top and sides to create a soft hold style. Gel spray will hold well and will not look wet or weigh the hair down.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 3

A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.


step 4

Working in sections starting from the back, place the paddle brush close to the roots and drag it through the strands slowly, taking care not to overheat your hair. Once dry, continue to a new section, completing the back, the sides and then the top section last of all.


step 5

A large hot roller is used to give your hair a larger curl and to add lots of body.


step 6

Take a section of hair from the nape no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically down the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 7

Take a section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically, making sure to roll it backwards, along the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.


step 8

Apply moulding cream to your fingertips and then tilt your head forward and scrunch your hair.


step 9

Take your section of hair and pull it tightly across to the opposite side and pin it securely into place.


step 10

Lacquer is great for strong hold. A small amount is all that is required to finish and should be applied from an arms length distance to the entire style.
