Long Tight Waves

Celebrity Lauren Turek is sporting long, tight waves that fall just below her shoulders on January 31, 2007. There are specialized curling irons designed for creating this look, or if you prefer, rollers which are less damaging to the hair and provide longer-lasting results.

Achieving this style always depends on your hair texture. Lauren appears to have medium-textured hair with warm brown tones and subtle highlights of blonde. The chemicals in the coloring process can make the hair more porous, making it easier to style.

If you have thin, fine hair, don't expect your hair to look exactly like the picture. As I mentioned, achieving the look depends heavily on your hair's texture. For rollers, opt for medium to small sizes. Alternatively, use a wave iron to create sets of three waves at a time, similar to a deeper crimping tool.

Start styling from the bottom row and work your way up, section by section, without combing through your hair afterward. What you see is what you'll get, so enjoy experimenting with your style!
