i like the half up, half down look...but w/ a side part, the front bang area swept to the side, pinned behind the ear. then tease or poof the top of the hair, but make the sides tight.. then curl or wave the rest of the hair.. u'll look great :)



also one of my staple hair styles is this: long, and parted at the side.... and then i take the front area of the hair, push it up and pin it to the side above .... sort of where the eyebrow area is, but u pull the hair back further and pin in Behind....hope that makes sense.. :)How do i fix medium to long curly hair to have an elegant look?
