One hairstyle that we keep seeing celebs sporting is loose-textured hair. Although it isn’t straight, it’s less formal than a hairstyle. Half-wave hair is growing in popularity. It already has an A-list following that includes Hailey Bieber (Kaia Gerber), Jasmine Tookes (Kendall Jenner), Ciara and Kendall Jenner.
“The half wave is laidback glam at its best,” says Jason Collier, A-List Hairstylist and Bblonde Brand Educator. You can mix straight and wavy sections to make your hair multi-dimensional and more interesting. “The half wave consists of a straight root, with a loose wave from the eye lid, or ear lobe, with loose, relaxed ends,” he explains.
It’s perfect if you want a style that’s a little more undone and natural-looking— like you woke up and shook your hair out, rather than spending the morning coaxing it into shape. Plus it works beautifully worn casual, alongside a T-shirt and jeans, or to create a more laidback, high-low feel for glam occasions, like a wedding…or if you’re Hailey Bieber, the red carpet.
Hailey, a big fan of the style, has made it her signature and worn it numerous times for high-profile occasions and off-duty occasions. Hailey’s minimalistic approach to makeup and clean-cut style reflect her simple, yet elegant style.

If you don’t have naturally-textured half-waves, you will need to style your hair as if you do not use makeup. “To create a half wave style, use a medium sized barrel curling iron, and gently wrap chunky sections around it to create an ‘S’ shape bend,” explains Collier. “This is super easy to do,” he adds. Be sure to be mindful of what you are leaving out and the parts you’re wagging before you grab your wand. “Take hair from ear length and wrap it once in the shape of an ‘S’, leaving out the bottom lengths. That creates the half wave,” confirms Collier.
