Utilize your natural volume by opting for soft wavy medium hair styles. With their cute irregular waves and loose texture, these styles showcase 100% naturally spontaneous looks that are extremely on trend. Make thin hair appear thicker by using a product to define and tousle curls for added texture, then using texture hairspray as the finishing touch.
Bronde Ombre
Thick wavy hair can be transformed by an ageless and classic dark-to-light ombre color job that embodies contrast, shine and drama – like this charcoal ash blonde one! For maximum impact use BlondorPlex 6% through roots while toning midlengths and ends with Koleston Perfect 7/06 9/97 to achieve this look. This stunning smoky brown to cappuccino ombre looks especially breathtaking when combined with medium side bangs that perfectly frame the face. When speaking with your stylist about desired results, bring photos to help them visualize it better. An ombre style featuring the transition of chestnut brown into sandy blonde is ideal for anyone who’s curious to explore platinum without making an unconditional commitment. The face-framing streaks of blonde add an appealing flair that’s easy to maintain through regular touch ups.
Balayage
Balayage hair color creates an irresistibly natural sunkissed effect and is one of the most flattering choices for medium wavy locks. To achieve an authentic-looking result, your stylist should apply hand-painted bleach highlights that gradually deepen from root to end. This technique creates natural-looking locks and adds soft dimension that brightens up your complexion. It works great whether wearing straight or wavy hair styles and is easy to maintain as up to four months may pass before touching up is required. Before scheduling an appointment with a stylist, it is a good idea to consult them and show them images that depict the type of balayage style you desire. Ombre and sombre refer more to overall color effects rather than techniques – your stylist can work with either to achieve your desired result.
Bedhead Waves
This trend aims to capture that just-stepped-out-of-bed look with effortless, laidback charm. Whether opting for bold waves or beachy curls, this tousled style will turn heads and capture its signature glamour – popularized by Bella Hadid and Doja Cat who embrace their natural texture with effortless style on TikTok. Create this look by styling with either a face-framing bob or upgrading your layered pixie cut with bangs, adding texture spray for extra definition and to control flyaways. Center-parted short hairstyles also work beautifully, creating romantic touches while center-parted waves paired with darker blonde tones can give the appearance of fuller locks; making this stylish and feminine wavy hairstyle suitable for long faces!
Lobs
One of the many advantages of having long wavy hair is its versatility; you can rock different styles. For an eye-catching and feminine style, opt for an angled bob that begins shorter in the back and gradually lengthens near your face, and add some blonde highlights to highlight its natural waves. Add drama and texture to your wavy lob with bold curtain bangs that beautifully frame the face. This trend-setting style looks especially striking when worn with soft balayage or other high-contrast colors, such as violet. To keep your strands hydrated and looking their best, invest in a deep conditioning treatment pack such as Biolage Ultra Hydra Source Deep Treatment Pack that contains natural emollients and sustainably-sourced cupuacu butter – this will ensure healthy and glossy locks always.
Layers
If you have medium length wavy hair, ask your stylist about layering it for maximum natural movement and to reduce excess bulk from thicker strands. This style works wonderfully. Feathered layers can help tame loose waves. Their longer layers create a sweeping look that flatters all face shapes. Switch up your look with choppy layers. This technique involves carefully pointing scissors upward during cutting for added internal movement and lived-in texture, perfect for beachy waves! Try pairing this style with relaxed beach waves for the ultimate laidback aesthetic. Add dimension and variety to your layered hairstyle by experimenting with various partial highlights, from strawberry blonde, copper shades, or fiery red hues. Complete the look by spraying some hairspray over it all before finishing up by applying some hair gel for extra volume and body.
