About Hollywood Waves Hair
The hollywood waves style has gentle curves that add soft volume to the hair. It drapes naturally around the shoulders for a relaxed look. It fits many face shapes by softening angular features. You can test the style with thirty different colors in the studio. When I tried this hollywood waves preset in our tool, the waves fell naturally over the shoulders without covering the face.

Why choose the hollywood waves style?
Discover the unique characteristics and advantages of this specific cut before trying it on your own portrait.
Sculpted 1940s waves with a precisely combed pattern
True Hollywood waves — also called finger waves or Marcel waves — are set in a specific curving pattern that follows the scalp before falling into a single wide wave. The waves are combed until they sit in symmetrical ridges on each side of the part. They require more precision than glamorous waves but produce an unmistakably vintage, theatrical result.

True Hollywood waves sit in rigid, identical ridges. The simulator carves these deep, symmetrical grooves into the hair, reflecting light along the crest of each wave to recreate the unmistakable discipline of golden-era cinema styling.
