Oh I love Halle Berry. And who doesn’t! This Hollywood starlet has always been a keen favorite in the film and beauty world. With many movies under her – an Oscar winning actress to the global face of international beauty brand Revlon – Halle has a lot to be happy about!
But as with many things her hair and make-up has always changed throughout the years. And 2009 has been no exception. With her hair up, down, long or short. Halle knows how to wear it! Here is a taster on how to wear your hair wavy. With Halle as our inspiration!
Soft Long Waves

Here Halle is looking exceptionally beautiful with her hair soft and wavy.
To achieve this hair style, wash and condition hair as normal. And then blow dry until slightly damp. Add large rollers, with a setting lotion. I love the Aveda Brilliant line for heat setting. Blow dry again with hair set in rollers. Once dry to the touch let out the large rollers-you should have a soft wave developing. Then brush your fingers through your hair, adding some Aveda finishing lotion for shine-and you are good to go!

Aveda Brilliant Line is great for heat styling!

The Brilliant Spray Shine adds a glossy finish!
