Our model is wearing this alluring and casual hairstyle with brown matte lips and a beautiful black neck tie tunic which gives the ‘do more sophistication and elegance! Fun and fancy is the main idea for this half up half down chin-length hairdo. Loose waves are added to the sides and back, with the top section pulled and pinned to the head to expose the best facial features for a brilliant finish. If you're looking for a casual hairstyle that can be pulled off easily, this half-up, half-down ‘do with loose waves is what you're looking for. With semi-poofy and lose waves, this hairstyle works best on round, oval, and square face shapes. For thin hair density, we recommend using an even coat of flexible hold gel throughout the length of your hair before styling. This look is easy to re-create at home and needs a little product for hold and shine.
Whether you're rushing off to work or hanging out at home, this casual chin-length hairstyle is perfect for you and is easy to maintain with regular trims after 4 to 6 weeks. To keep this style full and textured at all times, spritz some extra hairspray for added hold.

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.
Use your hand to scrunch the hair as you blow-dry. Remember to keep the blow-dryer on a low speed and heat setting and to leave some moisture in your hair.
A medium curling iron is used to create medium sized curls.
Starting from the back, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until the entire back section of your hair is completed.
Starting at the front, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until all of the hair through your front and sides has been curled.
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
Pick up a small selection of hair from your mid section no bigger than your tail comb. Place your comb at the roots and then comb up and down until the hair is standing up by itself. Continue to the crown and finish at the sides. Repeat this step if you require more volume.
Once your hairstyle is complete, hold your hair into place and then pin your hair into your desired direction.
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.
