Most important with all styles is to have that proper cut designed to bring out the
best of your features. In this case, Elle has a center part with long layers that are close to her sides around the temples and cheek bones. The rest of the hair has been twined around either hot rollers or a hot iron circling vertically towards the face.
My personal styling taste would have been to put fringe around her forehead to soften up her features and add a bit of glamour with a sophisticated up do with different colored braids weaving in and out of her beautiful
hair. She has the look to carry it all the way through.
