THE STYLE
Slightly layered around the top with a blunt outline, lustrous waves are blown
in at the ends for a fuller, sexier effect. Deep and rich shades of brown highlights are given to complete the look.
THE MAINTENANCE
Twist the hair and dry it with a diffuser. The waves can be created by using curling tongs, heated rollers or big round brushes and a little root volumniser.
THE ADAPTABILITY
This cut can also be blown out straight to give a sleek and chic look.

THE STYLE
An easy-to-wear style that suits all ages and face shapes. Let the hair down to allow the curls to brush your shoulders or tie up for neat alternatives.
THE MAINTENANCE
Apply overnight leave-in treatment to achieve smooth, silky hair. Use structuring paste that provides texturisation with a flexible hold to style.
THE ADAPTABILITY
Waves are versatile and can be styled in many ways. Temporary hair straightening can also be done to achieve a total change for any special occasion.

THE STYLE
A full-fringe, heavy bob length permed at the bottom for soft curls at the ends, this youthful style is suitable for all face shapes.
THE MAINTENANCE
Finish with some clay on the curls and fix with hairspray after blow-drying.
THE ADAPTABILITY
The curls at the ends make an evening style more flexible. For New Year visits, try tying it up in a ponytail to ward off the heat.
