Brunette Long Soft Waves with Face-Framing Layers
This is Look #21 from “25 Dark Chocolate Brown Hair Ideas” Collection.
This gorgeous long brunette look strikes the perfect balance between natural and polished. With flowing soft waves, subtle face-framing layers, and a hint of highlights, it’s a flattering and versatile style that elevates everyday beauty.
Ideal for thick, long hair, the cut includes subtle layering around the face to lighten the length while maintaining volume. The dark brunette base is enhanced with natural-looking soft highlights, adding lightness and movement without overwhelming the colour. It flatters heart and oval face shapes beautifully, thanks to the way the layers and middle part contour the face. This is an effortlessly romantic style that transitions from casual daytime to evening chic with ease.
💇♀️ Styling tips:
Use a large curling wand to shape soft, loose waves, then brush them out for a more natural flow. Add lightweight oil to enhance shine and control flyaways.
🧴 Maintenance look:
Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner to keep the brunette tones rich. Trim every 10–12 weeks to prevent dryness and maintain the layered shape. @hairby_chrissy
