Medium to long layers are cut through this copper chestnut mane to balance out the body and volume, thanks to the added waves. This hairstyle has been created for people with round and oblong faces. The sides are straight, the back is smooth, and the top has natural waves, and would look best on a very young person with long hair. This style is designed for women with thin to medium-density hair. This formal hairstyle can be easily achieved using hot rollers and is best suited for those with fine to medium hair wanting a gorgeous 'do to frame a long face. Product is needed for hold and shine. This is great for adding some natural volume and having the curls bounce all over the place simultaneously. The light makeup and spaghetti top knots make it work on lighter skin tones as well.
After undergoing a regular trim from 4 to 6 weeks, your hairstyle will stay in shape. If your hair is starting to look a little gray and you want to keep it healthy, you may need regular toning treatments to help bring back the chestnut brunette waves.

Styling Steps
Apply styling mousse to damp hair, using your palm as a measuring guide, and evenly distribute it along the hair shaft. Styling mousse will add hold and can help achieve better results.
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.
A medium hot roller is used to give your hair looser curls and can also be used for body.
Take the entire back section of your hair, and then starting from the crown, take a smaller section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller down the hair shaft until it meets your head and then secure it in place with a pin or clip. Repeat this step until you have reached the nape of your neck and the entire back section of your hair is completed. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.
Take a section of hair no wider than the diameter of the hot roller and comb it through to ensure there are no knots. Place the roller at the ends of the section of hair, being sure to smooth the ends under, and then twist the roller vertically, making sure to roll it backwards, along the hair shaft to the roots and secure it with a pin or clip. Keep the rollers in your hair until they cool.
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
