Before your next hair appointment, take a look at these photos of long wavy hair ideas:
Luxuriant Waves with Blonde Balayage
Long, flowing waves combined with blonde balayage create a stunning look. The waves enhance the color’s dimension and provide beautiful shape to your hair. For maintaining your blonde balayage, make sure to schedule all your color glaze appointments in advance to ensure the blonde remains vibrant and fresh.
Effortless Tousled Waves
These effortless tousled waves are a versatile style for any hair type and any length (that can get a straightening iron in it). Starting with clean hair, use the Elixir Ultime serum by Kerastase to nourish the long, naturally wavy hair and smooth down flyaways. It has 230 degrees of heat protection which is important when it comes to using heat tools!
It’s easier to curl the hair if you have straightened it first to make sure you are working with a smooth canvas to curl on. Holding your irons vertically and curling the hair in vertical sections away from the face will allow the hair to frame your face.
Lustrous Long Wavy Brown Hair Full of Volume
Proper hydration is crucial for achieving beautifully smooth wavy hair that provides remarkable volume and depth. Who wouldn’t desire stunning and silky hair like this that dances with your every step?!
Elegant Long and Soft Brunette Waves
These elegant long and soft brunette waves give your hair a fuller appearance and beautifully highlight your layers. To style, apply a heat protectant to your dry hair and use a 1 1/2-inch or 2-inch curling iron, alternating directions for a relaxed finish.
Stunning Long Waves with Root Blend
Stunning long waves with root blend are ideal for women with blonde hair seeking an effortless style. The smooth transition from darker roots to lighter tips creates a sense of dimension, while the delicate ends contribute a gentle finish. This hairstyle is versatile for various hair lengths, but it truly shines on longer locks! The secret to perfecting this look lies in forming loose waves with a curling iron or wand. Additionally, steering clear of tight curls can prevent an outdated appearance. To accentuate the root area, backcombing or using a root-lifting product can effectively provide volume and texture.
Chic Long Hair with Voluminous Waves
Sure, you can incorporate this voluminous hair into your favorite styles for long wavy locks! Those stunning big waves will help you achieve a very natural finish. It’s the look that provides fullness and movement without pulling your lengthy strands up. With oil on your dark hair, the outcome will appear shiny and healthy.
Fashionable Textured and Wavy Styles
This textured and wavy style is a look you won’t want to overlook if you have long locks. The tendrils create a movement that appears softer with straighter ends. Enhance this textured hair with a blonde balayage for a natural sun-kissed glow.
Elegant Long Dark Chocolate Waves
Consider this elegant long dark chocolate wavy hair for a natural-looking style with a touch of refinement. The deep dark chocolate shade brings richness and sophistication to the appearance, while the gentle waves create a romantic and effortless ambiance.
Lustrous Hollywood Waves
This look is referred to as Hollywood Waves or bridal waves. What I love most about it is its timeless, polished, smooth, sleek, and glossy appearance. My suggestion for those aiming for this style is to have long hair. Take excellent care of your hair so it can be long and full, or invest in high-quality hair extensions. This full-bodied waves hairstyle suits all face shapes beautifully. The products used to achieve this style were Sebastian Fierce Hairspray and Kenra Ultimate Hold.
Framing Your Face with Long Dark Waves
Elevate your style with stunning face-framing long dark waves. This is an ideal choice for women aiming to brighten their features without the hassle of frequent highlights. If you’re thinking about this look, consult your stylist for highlights that extend to the hairline around the face, while keeping the middle to the ends of the hair a deeper shade.
Flowing Balayage Waves with Center Parting
A flowing balayage wave can enhance your facial structure and add dimension to your hair. Blending highlights in the hair will help create depth and movement. This look suits those with medium to long hair as it requires length to achieve the waves. Consider a center part to balance the overall look and accentuate your cheekbones.
Chic Wavy Long Blonde Hair
Transform yourself into a goddess with this wavy long blonde hair. Both the dimension and movement will keep your locks from appearing flat or lifeless. This long wavy blonde hair also showcases a shadow root, ensuring it’s low-maintenance. This wavy long blonde hair boasts a full blend of blonde highlights and lowlights, featuring two blonde tones and one caramel. Ask your stylist to keep the layers long while cutting your hair. Then, style a feathered look around your face.
This long hairstyle is ideal for women who prefer not to have their wavy blonde hair cut too short, allowing the option to wear it up. For styling, blow-dry your hair smooth and utilize a GHD waver for the waves. Once your hair is styled, use a wide-tooth comb and apply hairspray. This wavy blonde look is truly versatile, allowing you to wear it up or down while still looking fabulous. The waves usually hold for a few days in hair. The blonde shades are very natural and enhance the wavy silhouette of the long cut.
Effortless Long Beachy Waves
I adore these styles for their relaxed, beachy vibe. This look is incredibly versatile and appears fantastic for a day at work or an evening out. A quick brush and a spritz of dry shampoo after a night’s sleep will restore the bounce, giving this hairstyle an “I woke up like this,” low-maintenance allure.
Subtly Wavy Tresses
These subtly wavy tresses perfectly highlight your blonde hues. It’s the gentleness of the style that complements a beautiful color melt. A breathtaking hairstyle like this will undoubtedly make people take a second glance at you.
Elegant Long Waves with Curled Tips
A trendy hairstyle with a charming appeal features wavy curled tips. This style is ideal for individuals with naturally wavy or curly locks. The blunt ends provide your hair with structure and enhance the curls beautifully. The middle part adds balance and symmetry to the overall appearance.
Gorgeous Long Wavy Locks with Bangs
Opt for wavy locks with bangs as your next look. It helps to have a lot of hair or at least possess some styling skills to imitate it. Whether you blow-dry or air-dry, finishing this look with a little wave or curl of some kind really enhances all the texture. I really like Unite’s Second Day Haircut with a touch of oil or Ouai’s Finishing Cream. This is undoubtedly a very polished style, but the secret to a great cut is ensuring it looks good with minimal styling.
Contemporary Long Loose Waves
Long layers paired with gentle waves create an ideal combination! These long loose waves will appear even more bouncy with a spritz of flexible hold hairspray. That bold finish is guaranteed to highlight the silver streaks on your dark base. Loose waves are suitable for both long and short hair, in addition to lob haircuts.
For styling, consider using Chi black seed oil or Paul Mitchell super skinny serum, a texture spray, frizz-free humidity hairspray, soft spray, and/or non-sticky options to achieve your desired results.

Stunning Brunette Waves for Long Locks
Achieve stunning brunette waves on your long locks for an eye-catching appearance. You can use a curling iron, waver, or rollers if you need to cultivate soft, glamorous waves because your hair is not naturally curly. You will enjoy numerous styling options with longer tresses. Remember to brush out your curls to reveal soft and beautiful waves.
Effortless Caramel Balayage Waves
This is a balayage featuring a natural dark base and a caramel hue. My best advice would be if you are trying to achieve these curls, curl each piece the opposite way you did the last curl. Also, wait a while to brush out the curls and let them cool down. I used Elevate Mousse by Unite while the hair was wet to give volume, and Texturiza sprays from Unite after all was cooled.
Ombre Auburn Waves with a Melted Effect
I would describe this look as a soft balayage in auburn tones on gentle waves. My favorite aspect of these long, ombre waves is the delicate transition of colors. It’s challenging to identify exactly where each shade concludes and the next one starts.
Easygoing Shaggy Waves
Flowing shaggy waves are ideal for thicker, coarser hair types as the layering helps alleviate the weight from long hair. Not only will your hair feel lighter, but the movement will be slightly more tousled. It’ll be perfect for women with even a loose wave.
Beautiful Hair Featuring a Shadow Root
Elevate your hairstyle with a shadow root. For long, wavy hair, incorporating layers is essential for adding volume and ensuring your look remains vibrant.
Elegant Beachy Wave Hairstyle
These elegant beachy waves are trending at the moment! You can let them flow freely on relaxed days or style them in an updo for formal occasions like weddings. Hairstyles for long wavy hair such as this require proper maintenance, so regular trims are essential to avoid split ends.
Long layers paired with beach waves are perfect for women with long hair. These beach wave curls are ideal for busy individuals and take just 10 to 15 minutes to style! When curling the hair for beach waves, remember to curl away from your face. For more volume, alternate the curls, work with larger sections, leave the ends out, and pull down while curling.
Elegant Cascading Waves
While this might lean towards the curlier aspect of wavy hair, it’s truly one of the most beautiful hairstyles! Gather your tresses half-up, and enhance them with these cascading waves. Teasing the crown a bit can help increase volume and shape to the look.
Charming Layered Long Locks
Enhance your oh-so-gorgeous long casual waves with added layers. Complete the look with a long choppy curtain fringe that complements long faces beautifully.
Bold Straight Bangs
With bold, straight bangs, this haircut is ideal for women with long, wavy hair who wish to elevate their appearance. The straight bangs make a striking impression, while the weight removed from the sides introduces a softer and more understated shag effect. This hairstyle suits wavy hair best, letting the curls preserve length and volume without looking overly “shrunken.” To achieve this style, it’s recommended to begin with damp hair and use a volumizing mousse to amplify the waves and create definition.
Effortless Blonde Balayage for Long Wavy Locks
One idea is a blonde balayage on long wavy locks. A rooted balayage is a low-maintenance color that is stunning on long hair. The light blonde pieces contrast against the lowlight pieces for more interest and the illusion of added density, especially when paired with soft long layers.
Stunning Long Wavy Balayaged Hairstyle
For those seeking a beautiful and adaptable hairstyle, the stunning long wavy balayaged hairstyle is the perfect choice. This style showcases lovely waves that cascade along the hair length, highlighting natural movement and dimension. Request the balayage technique for a sun-kissed effect and gentle shade transitions. It’s ideal for individuals with long hair who wish to stand out while keeping a relaxed and effortless look. Begin with damp hair to create this wavy balayage, and apply a texturizing spray to enhance the waves. Finally, use a finishing spray to hold the wavy balayage in place.
The Ideal Style for Thick Wavy Hair
Wavy, long hair can be styled with jeans and a stylish top, or more formally, for an evening out. The top three essential products for achieving this look after a great shampoo are Kerastase Nectar Thermique (protects hair up to 450 degrees) to establish a barrier between the hair and the blow dryer and curling iron. Use two pumps of Essence Absolue from Shu Umera through the ends of damp hair, as well. Once you’ve curled all of your sections, secure the curls with Caviar Working Spray. It’s lightweight and can be layered to your preference. Tilt your head back, run your hands through your thick hair, and spray again.
Textured Copper Toned Waves
The copper beach waves offer a charming elegance for daily styling, and the red hue provides the gloss and flair that many women desire. When it comes to the beach waves for long hair, this style can be rocked by anyone with the appropriate products and tools. I achieved these waves using a 1 1/4-inch barrel curling iron along with my go-to Bumble and Bumble products (Hairdresser Oil for gloss and Spray De Mode for hold).
Blush Blonde Shades
Let’s explore a captivating hue known as ‘blush blonde.’ Gorgeous shades of color and waves are perfect to showcase if you have long hair. Blush gold complements warm skin tones beautifully. It can be effortlessly applied over blonde levels of 8-9 that have been lightened. Whether your hair is inherently wavy or you create waves with a curling iron, the texture and color depth will be exceptionally noticeable.
Elegant Long Waves with a Side Part and Soft Bangs
Looking to refresh your style and add some volume to your hair? Try elegant long waves with a side part and soft bangs. The side part introduces an asymmetrical touch, enhancing the overall appeal, while the gentle waves provide a sense of softness and movement. Soft bangs nicely frame the face. They can be styled to your preference – either swept to the side or pinned back. For added volume with this hairstyle, consider using clip-in extensions. Finally, complete your look with Moroccan oil texturizing spray for a stunning finish.
Vintage Hollywood Waves
These vintage Hollywood waves exude elegance. Be mindful that it won’t flow like beachy waves and is a style best left undisturbed. You might want to pair this look with a more daring makeup choice, perhaps smokey eyes and a deep lip.
Wavy Curled Long Hair
Wavy curled long hair is a hairstyle that brings a lively and feminine charm to your appearance, enhancing both volume and movement. Proper upkeep is essential to ensure this look remains at its finest. If you aim to maintain it, be sure to preserve your hair’s length and effortless waves. To achieve this style, start with damp hair. Use a volumizing mousse to help define sections and encourage curls.
Large Barrel Waves for Extended Hair
Explore large barrel waves for extended hair. It’s a multifunctional hairstyle for women, particularly for those with natural red tresses. This style is ideal for those seeking volume and definition while preserving a gentle, romantic appearance. To achieve this look, use a quality curling iron with a sizeable barrel to create those beautiful waves. If your hair tends to be on the drier side, consider applying a shine oil to enhance the luster of your locks.
Relaxed Sleek Curly Waves
Choose a relaxed sleek wave hairstyle in an ash blonde. It can be achieved using Pravana styling products (Full Volume Foam and Invisible Control Spray). Smooth the roots and rotate the flat iron to create the curl then straighten out the ends.
The recommendation for those seeking these hairstyles is to select products that aren’t oil-based and that provide texture and volume. All women could achieve these beautifully textured waves, but smoothing out the strands beforehand (blow-drying or straightening) would depend partly on the hair’s natural texture. Even though a straightener was employed to style initially, consider using a wand and going over the hair with a straightener on low heat to gently smooth out the curls.
Rose Gold Balayage Curls
Explore a variation of blonde hues with these beautiful wave styles in rose gold balayage. This look is ideal for those wanting to infuse a playful touch of color without fully committing to a bright shade. Achieve this effortless yet lively color combination by initially dyeing your hair blonde. Then, apply a light toner on top for a subtle pink tint and a champagne shine.

Whenever you want to enhance your complexion a bit, incorporate a money piece into this casual, long, wavy hairstyle, and you can’t go wrong.
Charming S-Shaped Waves
The graceful, “S”-shaped waves give this look a vintage Hollywood glam vibe. The great thing about this style is its adaptability. Virtually any length of hair can be set this way. For example, curling the hair in the front to frame the face could highlight certain features such as cheekbones.
Giving the hair a good base with products and allowing the curls to set and cool in the desired position will provide the best longevity. Blow drying a mousse or a styling spray in before curling the hair will help the curls hold their shape and not flatten out. After curling each section, you can gently brush the curls into place and use a medium hairspray to accentuate the bends in the hair.
Stunning Blonde Balayage Waves
Showcase your long tresses with stunning blonde balayage waves. When it comes to maintaining your lengthy hair, you should understand that it requires some dedication. Styling longer strands does take time, but on those challenging hair days, you can always tie it up in a bun or ponytail. The styling possibilities for your long hair are limitless.
Elegant Long Curly Waves
If you want to style your hair with elegant long curly waves ask for long face-framing layers around your face. This is the best way to allow the hair to be dried away from your face without heaviness. Curl with a flat iron or a tong but always backward away from the face. Brush gently to give a full finish.
Beautiful Long Waves with Mushroom Blonde Balayage
These stunning long waves featuring a mushroom blonde balayage are an excellent way to brighten your dark hair for the fall season. Mushroom blonde shades consist of a lovely blend of very light brown and cool-toned blonde hues. They’re not limited to those with dark hair; even bright-blonde locks can benefit from this technique. Just remember to use blue shampoo to maintain your new hue at home, and don’t forget that regular toning sessions are important to keep the color vibrant.

Consider transforming your long, wavy locks to a stunning ashy blonde hue. This blonde tone enhances your complexion, especially if you prefer lighter shades against your skin. The wavy design beautifully accentuates the ash blonde and seamlessly integrates with the soft brown lowlights.
Elegant Dark Brown Waves with a Center Part
When thinking about ways to elevate your long hair, consider trying long waves with a center part for that ideal mermaid appearance. If possible, use a wand or utilize your curling iron without the clamp to create beautiful beach waves. A fantastic product to help keep the waves intact is a quality beachy texture spray, like IGK’s Beach Club.
Gorgeous Copper Hollywood Waves
These gorgeous copper Hollywood waves are simpler to recreate than you might think. I suggest using a 1.5 to 2-inch curling iron starting at your cheekbone and curling everything away from your face. Remember to let your curls set and cool before brushing them out, and finish with oil for shine and hairspray for all-night hold.
Chic Long Blonde Wavy Locks with a Center Part
Long blonde wavy locks with a center part are an elegant option for a carefree style. A single day of preparation can prolong this look for several days, while braiding at night effectively maintains a relaxed wave without the use of heat.
For achieving this look with a wand, a 1 1/2″ barrel is ideal. When styling, make sure to leave out 1″ at the ends for a beachy vibe. Ouai “wave spray,” applied to the braids or after styling, will help achieve a long-lasting finish.
Elegant Long Waves with Side Parting
Explore a fresh style with waves featuring a side part, as this hairstyle radiates effortless sophistication. A side part introduces an element of asymmetry, imparting a hint of modern flair.
