About this look

Red velvet waves are the styling that pairs rich auburn red color with deep Hollywood-style waves — the color suggests rich Christmas reds, and the wave shape elevates the styling into red-carpet-level festive glamour. The combination works specifically for the holidays.

They flatter oval, heart, and oblong faces — the wave shape frames these shapes specifically. Wavy hair holds the set longest; straight hair takes the set; curly hair adapts. Hair needs to be at least past the shoulder for the wave pattern.

High maintenance for both color and styling — auburn red color requires salon service (full color or balayage) plus the Hollywood-wave styling (hot rollers, deep side part, set, brush out, 30-45 minutes). The color refresh every 6-8 weeks; styling per occasion. The styling reads strongly festive-formal; works for Christmas parties, New Year's Eve, holiday weddings. Color + styling — rich auburn red color paired with deep Hollywood-style waves.

Color + styling — rich auburn red color paired with deep Hollywood-style waves.
