Vintage Waves

If you prefer just some waves down, the main characteristics of this hairstyle are usually a deep side parting with volume at the roots and brushed out soft curls. What I love the most about this hairdo is that being kinda traditional, it can be versatile and it fits all types and lengths of hair. It’s not that hard to make on your own, especially when we have so many tutorials all over the net, and with a light hairspray you’ll keep your hair intact during the day. Think of accenting your hair with a heavily embellished hairpiece or having a side wavy hairstyle accenting one part of your head with a headpiece. For inspiration look at the gallery below!
