Loose Mid-Length Bouncy Waves


Added: 02 Jan 2018
Are you looking for a wavy medium-length hairstyle with a touch of bounce and movement? Then this simple style is perfect for you! Our model wears loose waves in her medium length blonde locks to give this casual hairstyle some body. Loose shoulder-length waves are a great style to give that casual, airy look. Loose waves might be more suitable for you if you want to keep your hair down and away from your face rather than keeping it in place as she does. And hey, who doesn't love a good bounce? You have just achieved the perfect hairstyle for a festive weekend or any time (and anywhere) you want to break away from the norm and keep the focus on yourself. This medium-length style with loose waves is parted on the side and adds a lot of body and volume to thin hair. The side parting creates a lot of texture, and this look adds weight and shape to loosely defined hair. Women with oval faces should try this style since it adds width and dimension to the face while remaining relatively long for a short bob-type cut. This 'do is also great to frame an oblong.

Bouncy waves give you more movement and volume. Hairspray also helps create more body in the hair by adding weight to each strand, giving it more lift and body. The product is required for hold and shine, and frequent trims will aid in the prevention of split ends. This is what you're searching for in those who have medium-length curly hair.

step 1

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your right eye 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 right part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.


step 2

A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.


step 3

Working in sections starting from the back, place the paddle brush close to the roots and drag it through the strands slowly, taking care not to overheat your hair. Once dry, continue to a new section, completing the back, the sides and then the top section last of all.


step 4

A large curling iron is used to create large soft curls and can be used to add body.


step 5

Starting from the back, 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 roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.


step 6

Starting at the front, 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 roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until all of the hair through your front and sides has been curled.


step 7

Apply your gel-wax to the ends of your hair and then lightly pinch and scrunch the hair before allowing your gel-wax to set.


step 8

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.
