LongS-waveSide-swept fringe
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- brushed-out, soft waves
- movement from the s-wave
- side-swept fringe
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Higher upkeep
- This shape rewards regular styling — the reference finish leans on it.
- At the salon
- A perm (heat or cold) may be involved — worth discussing your hair's condition first.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.
