Added: 10 Nov 2010
The long wavy hairstyle is very trendy and stylish. It gives you a simple, messy look but is still easy to maintain. If you have thick hair and no idea what style to take, this is the one for you. A modern but sophisticated look gives this long wavy hairstyle a contemporary feel that's perfect for day or night.

Our model looks gorgeous in this long wavy hairstyle, with beautiful blonde hair color. The model wears a beige hue top which ravishes her overall personality in this hairstyle. For this hair styling, this stunning hairdo falls over the shoulders to show off the combination of medium to long layers cut all through the back and sides to give the overall style plenty of bounce and body. The bangs are smoothed out and swept over to the side to complete the look perfectly. This long wavy hairstyle is best for women with oval, oblong and square face shapes who have medium or thick hair. This hairstyle will look great on all skin tones and hair textures, as it suits most women in the world. The length of the long wavy hairstyle offers you the opportunity to play up or down with accessories such as bobby pins and barrettes.

This hairstyle works best when your hair is of medium length, but the long waves are nice for those who want to get away from their straight look. This hairstyle is perfect for the office and more formal occasions. With regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks, you can maintain this hairstyle with ease. Pinch and twist the ends to create a textured finish.

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

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

To blow-dry your bangs to the side, clip the back and side sections up, leaving just your bangs out. Place your brush beneath your bangs, holding your hair to the side and remembering to hold the tension between your hair and brush. With your blow-dryer on a low setting, apply heat by starting at the roots and make sure to stretch your hair out to the ends. Repeat until your hair is dry.


step 8

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


step 9

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 10

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


step 11

Apply wax to your fingertips then drag through your bangs, sweeping the hair to the left as you go. Pinching the ends will create soft texture.


step 12

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 13

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.
