This long curled hairstyle is the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The layers will frame your face and make you look classy yet easygoing. It is a great look that adds length and volume to your hair. This hairstyle can be done by yourself at home, or you could also get it done at your local salon.

Our model is a flawless beauty with glamorous, long black hair and striking red lips. She wears it in a stylish yet slimmed-down style that makes her face appear long and elegant. For the hair styling, these stunning black locks have long layers cut into the edges to enhance the bounce and movement of the beautifully defined waves, which gives the overall style plenty of bounce and shape. This hairstyle is ideal for creating long hair with a modern and stylish look. You can select from different style options for a curly, wavy, or straight 'do. This hairstyle will suit women with medium to thick hair, but it could also be suitable for women with very thick hair. It is easy to style and maintain and makes you confident when you look at yourself in the mirror. This is an excellent style for any occasion.

This hairstyle is a basic yet classic approach to curly hair, which can be worn in various ways. The curling iron adds volume with layers while creating body and bounce. Direct your hair into position while applying the finishing products. We recommend regular trims every 4-6 weeks to maintain the health of your curls.

step 1

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.


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

To blow-dry the sides, take out a small section of hair from the front and clip the rest of the hair away. Next, place the brush under the section and then pull the brush and hair forward around your face (this curving motion creates body). Place the hair-dryer on top of the brush until you reach the ends and then turn the ends under. Repeat until dry.


step 5

To blow-dry the crown/top sections, take a section of hair no bigger than the diameter of the brush and blow-dry the hair placing the brush under the section of hair. With your blow-dryer in front of the brush, follow the brush in an upwards direction at the roots and an outwards position at the ends for volume and softness. Continue until the section is dry.


step 6

A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.


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 some hard wax to your fingertips and then rub it into your roots while lifting your strands for soft volume.


step 10

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 11

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.
