9. Soft Glamorous Waves with a Deep Side Part
Although ponytails dominate discussions of Ariana Grande hairstyles, soft glamorous waves provide an elegant alternative.
A deep side part creates volume around the front, while large curls add movement through the lengths. Once brushed out, the curls become soft waves with a polished red-carpet finish.
This hairstyle works beautifully for occasions when you want your hair completely down.
Who It Suits Best
Glamorous waves are excellent for:
- Medium to long hair
- Layered cuts
- Fine, medium, or thick hair
- Oval, square, heart, and long face shapes
- Weddings, formal parties, dates, and professional photoshoots
People with naturally curly hair can create this look by defining and reshaping their existing texture instead of completely straightening it first.
Styling Tips
Apply heat protectant and volumizing mousse before blow-drying. Curl the hair in sections using a medium or large barrel.
For a coordinated finish, direct most curls away from the face. Allow them to cool completely before brushing.
Use a wide-tooth comb or soft brush to blend the curls into waves. Finish with lightweight shine spray.
