Glamorous Waves & Curls
Wavy and curly hairstyles have a certain charm about them and are a less formal option that an upstyle.
For a romantic look, consider a loose, beachy wave that can tumble down your back or to one side or in a half-up half-down style.
Glamorous Hollywood waves, with their structured, glossy finish, suit more formal events such as weddings or gala dinners.
Wavy hairstyles also look great with the addition of some braids or twists. Consider adding some jewelled pins or flowers to your look to take your hairstyle to a whole new level of fabulousness!
