Casual Long Wavy Hairstyles

A casual long wavy hairstyle can be described as free-flowing, soft, full, with lots of body, easy-going, and one that falls into place on its own. These hairstyles can vary from shoulder length graduated layers, to heavy one length looks, and even messy uniform layer cuts. When waves are natural or even artificial (permed hair), casual long wavy hairstyles are quick to create because they fall into shape naturally. However, waves created with curling devices and heat appliances require more time and styling products for hold. Some techniques you might like to try are simple things like scrunch drying with your head tilted. The long length of these hairstyles enables you to pull your hair back out of the way for a quick change, or to even dress it up more formally.

Aimee's long locks looked stunning at the NBC All-Star Party. Long jagged layers were cut around her sides and back to add volume to her crown and shape to her waves. Full shaped bangs were also cut to shape her face and to finish her look off perfectly. This style will suit fuller face shapes best.
