AJ Odudu Long Wavy Black Hairstyle


Added: 08 Aug 2016
Corkscrew curls are dressed through the lengths and ends of these black locks to give the hairstyle movement and bounce. This 'do is easy to re-create at home with the right tools and needs a product to tame fly-away hair. Regular trims is needed to prevent split ends.

AJ Odudu looks lovely here in glamorous long locks. Having an oval face shape and rounded hairline, her face looks best in ‘dos with a grown out fringe and longer layers around the face. This long curled 'do creates a nice frame for her face and allows her hair’s natural texture to do its thing, adding body and bounce all over. This cut also highlights her strong cheekbones thanks to the center part that allows the front layers to drape nicely while the rest of the layers fall past her shoulders. This hairstyle is ideal for ladies with thick tresses and a variety of face shapes.

AJ has a warm, medium-dark complexion with golden undertones and dark eyes. Her natural hair color is black, which is ideal for her although she could pull off rich brown and caramel shades if she wanted to lighten her locks up. The dark shade she is wearing here is great for her complexion and it brings out the intensity of her eye color.

"AJ" Odudu is a British television presenter, best known for co-presenting on the Channel 5 reality show spin-off Big Brother's Bit on the Side, alongside Emma Willis and Rylan Clark, in 2013.

step 1

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. Smoothing shine will work best on any hair type and style, but is especially good for smoothing down frizzy hair.


step 2

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose 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 middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.


step 3

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the nape/back. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends.


step 4

Using your brush, blow-dry in small sections starting from the sides. Tilting your head forward, place the brush an inch below the roots to hold them taut and aim the dryer above the brush for a few seconds before continuing to the ends. Repeat this step on a new section directly above the dry one.


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


step 7

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 8

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 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.
