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.

This divine hairdo has plenty of attitude and shape thanks to the wicked layers cut through the back and sides. The layers through the back start from the mid-lengths and blend into the ends for a weightless finish. The front and side layers start from mid-face and effectively taper down to frame the face.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker made her way into the New York premiere of Sex and the City wearing a fabulous dress, but she could've done more with her hair. Her mane was left to hang over her shoulders (as usual), and even though her medium to long layers enhanced her natural wave, this was nothing we haven't seen on her many times before. Carrie would've made more of an effort.
