Long Wavy Hairstyle Draped Over One Shoulder


Added: 10 Nov 2010
Wavy hair is nice to have, but not everyone can pull it off. Sometimes it's a challenge to find the right balance of curl and smooth that works for you, but it doesn't have to be. This long wavy hairstyle is simple and easy to maintain, so you won't be confused by what your hair is doing on any given day. This hairstyle is perfect for the beach and autumn!

Our gleaming model is wearing a long wavy hairstyle. The model is wearing an ash-black hue gown elegantly, making this hairstyle versatile by wearing a bold style statement. For this hair styling this sexy hairstyle is draped over one shoulder showing off the layers cut through the mid-lengths to ends to enhance the waves for a full and fancy finish. This hairstyle is perfect for the oval and oblong-shaped face. The ends of your hair can be naturally straight, or you can use a flat iron to make it smooth. Either way, this versatile style will work best with thin to medium-density hair that is fine or medium in texture. This is best suited for those with a natural kink. This look will be perfect for any occasion.

Maintaining the long wavy hairstyle is very easy. You can maintain this hairstyle with regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks. Although it's recommended to be healthy and hydrated, you can also choose to apply mousse or gel to your roots to keep them matte so that they don't get weighed down by too much product. This also helps your hair retain moisture for longer periods of time. Separate your curls into smaller sections for a fuller effect.

step 1

Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.


step 2

Lift your hair up with your fingers and move the diffuser up to the ends, motioning the diffuser to the scalp in circular movements. Make sure the blow-dryer speed is on low and try not to completely dry the hair off. Leaving a little bit of moisture will allow the hair to dry naturally.


step 3

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 4

Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.


step 5

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


step 6

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 7

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.
