Loose Waves are set to be going strong in 2014, and it’s an extremely casual hairstyle that includes tousled curls, soft waves, tight curls and essentially beach styled hair. Whether you have long hair or short hair the loose wave look is certainly something that can work for various individuals.

It is an extremely casual style and it may not be suited for the red carpet, but there are plenty of people who can make it work in a formal situation. If you’re hair is naturally curly it can feel weird to let it go and you may not be used to leaving your curls as they are, but there will be plenty of people letting their loose curls go this year and you could be one of them.

This look works especially well if you have highlights in your hair, while Fern Cotton is an example of someone who can make the look work even with relatively short hair.
