Dislacimer
Anyone with long hair who wants a simple, go-to style that is glamorous without being overly "done." It’s the perfect look for a night out.
Hairstyle Insight
The key to "tousled" waves, as opposed to perfect curls, is to alternate the direction of the curling iron on each section and leave the last inch of hair straight.
Key Benefits
A timelessly glamorous style.
Looks effortlessly cool and sexy.
The color is rich, dramatic, and sophisticated.
Showcases the beauty of long, healthy hair.
Incredibly versatile for any occasion.
Common Misconceptions
That it's a difficult style to achieve.
How to ask your stylist for this style
For the color, ask for a "rich, single-process espresso brown." The style can be achieved at home, but long layers cut by a stylist will help the waves look more voluminous.
Tools:
Choosing Products
A large-barrel curling iron or wand; a texturizing spray; a weekly hair mask for health.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
On dry hair, use a 1.5-inch curling iron, wrapping large sections of hair around the barrel in alternating directions.
Leave the last inch of hair out.
Once cool, tousle with your fingers.
Caring for your hair
This is a classic, go-to style that is easy to create.
The Espresso Brown color is a single-process shade that is very low-maintenance.

What's the best way to get tousled waves?
Leaving the last inch or two of your hair straight (not curling it) is the key to getting that modern, "cool-girl," tousled finish instead of a bouncy, prom-like curl.
