A combination of layers is cut through the back and sides, enhancing the waves' soft movement and giving the overall style body and movement. It is a perfect hairstyle for those with fine to medium hair wanting a look with volume and width. This 'do looks stunning and would go with any skin tone. The dark hair has a wavy texture at the ends, is long and straight, and is teased for volume. Both ends are curled to create a smooth finish that complements this edgy look.

This hairstyle suits women with round, oval, and heart-shaped faces best. It is also suitable for fine hair types because they tend to get frizzy. It will leave your face looking soft and feminine.

Toning treatments will be needed to maintain your color into a dark burgundy shade. Product will be needed for hold and shine.

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

A medium radial brush is used on medium to long hair types to smooth out wavy or curly hair textures or to add body to straight hair. When selecting a radial brush, always use one with a pure bristle as this will not tear or damage the hair.


step 3

To blow-dry under, start at the nape/back and place your brush under the section of hair close to the nape. With the dryer held up over the hair, pull the brush from the roots and continue to the mid length's, keeping the blow-dryer following over the top. Once you reach the ends, curve them under. Repeat this step until the section is completely dry.


step 4

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind.


step 5

Take a section of your hair from your ear to your temple that is the same diameter as the brush. Place your brush on top of the hair starting at the roots and pull the hair slowly in a backward direction with your blow-dryer following in front. Be sure the section is dry and then repeat the step on a new section of hair directly behind.


step 6

A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.


step 7

Take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your mid-lengths. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards.


step 8

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.


step 9

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.


step 10

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
