Styling tip:

Apply the hairstyling products using hands in order to avoid applying too much in one area. Also blow dry your tresses in the direction you want your tresses to fall. You can also make use of a hair straightener if needed.

Long layered wavy hairstyle with sassy side fringe

This is one of the most preferred hairstyle for women having long tresses with side fringes as this hairstyle brings a well defined and fuller look to the face. The hairstyle accentuates the facial features as well reduces the width of the forehead.

Style Mantra:

Rub a volumizing mousse or styling lotion through towel-dried tresses from root to the tip.

After the excessive moisture is eradicated, blow dry your tresses using a large round brush. Lift your tresses at the roots to add some volume to fine tresses while drying and then wrap your bangs around the brush to flip them out.

Once your tresses are completely dry, wrap the bottom half of your tresses around a hot curling iron. Rake your fingers through the waves to separate them.

Now mist your tresses with a strong hold spray to give a finish to the style.

After that take a small section of your tresses closest to the front across the top above your forehead.
