Angela Bassett is known for her voluminous, luscious hair, and this style is something you will want to try! She has parted her hair down the side, which allows her big curls to frame her face and neck area to perfection. These big curls will hold well in those hair densities that are thin to medium. If your hair is too thick, these curls will not hold. Angela has placed her hair behind one ear, which opens up this look nice and draws attention to her stunning facial features. This hairstyle is ideal for those with an oval, round, oblong, or heart face shape. The curls in this style will elongate your face and give off the illusion that your face is thinner than it is. Once you are done styling, you will need to use a strong hairspray to lock in these curls and ensure the style stays in shape throughout the event.

This is a formal hairstyle, which means your makeup application should be formal. You can do a gorgeous natural smokey eye with a lip color that will sparkle.

Angela Bassett is bringing back the glam with this full-of-life big hair that we love! This style is designed to be styled with naturally curly hair as the curls will hold better, but if you have straight hair, you can still achieve this style. The curls will hold better if you style them a day or two after washing your hair. Keep in mind that this style is full of volume and life, which will not suit fine and thin hair. Due to the volume of this style, highlights will get lost in this look, so keeping it all natural is the way to go! The curls are so tight in this look that they naturally fall away from your face which opens up this look so that everyone can see your stunning eyes and facial features. The curls give the face fantastic form.

Try creating a natural smokey eye with light and warm browns for a more understated appearance. Finish the look with a shimmer lip and a hint of highlighter. Use a dramatic graphic liner with a glitter lid for a bolder appearance. To complete this daring appearance, don't forget to have a strong contour and a striking lip.

The side part in this style allows the waves to frame her face nicely, and it also allows her to use the waves as a volumizing tool that creates a focal point in her hairstyle.

This is great hairstyle to balance out a round face and will need regular trims to maintain the style.
