Hi, I’m Lena — a professional hairstylist with 10+ years behind the stylist’s chair. In my salon I install and style lace frontals every week, so I’ve curated 24 lace frontal hairstyles that showcase the versatility of this install: from sleek middle parts and voluminous curls to braided and protective looks. Lace frontals are an excellent option for women who want natural hairlines, instant length, or to protect their natural hair during growth phases. They suit busy clients, those with thinning edges, and anyone craving frequent style changes without daily manipulation. My top salon tips: always color-match your lace and density to your textures, use lightweight adhesives for sensitive skin, blend baby hairs for realism, and protect your frontal with heat protectant when styling. Whether you’re new to lace frontals or a longtime wearer, these 24 images and styling pointers will help you choose looks that flatter your face shape and lifestyle.

Long Deep-Wave Half-Up High Ponytail with Laid Baby Hairs

Long Deep-Wave Half-Up High Ponytail with Laid Baby Hairs

This polished half-up high ponytail showcases long, deep waves and laid baby hairs — ideal for naturally curly, wavy, or textured hair and for hair extensions or wigs that match density and curl pattern. To create it, section the top half of hair from ear to ear, smooth with a soft-bristle brush or wrap brush, and gather into a high pony; secure with a snag-free elastic and hide the band with a small wrapped strand pinned underneath. Enhance the wave definition with a curl cream or mousse applied to damp lengths and diffuse or air-dry for soft hold. Use edge control and a fine-tooth tail comb to sculpt baby hairs at the hairline. Tools: wide-tooth comb, rat-tail comb, soft-bristle/boar brush, elastics, bobby pins, and a diffuser (optional). Products: leave-in conditioner, curl cream or mousse, lightweight oil or serum for shine, edge control gel, heat protectant, and light-hold hairspray. Difficulty: moderate — basic styling skills required. Maintenance: sleep on a satin bonnet/pillowcase, refresh waves with a water/leave-in spray, avoid heavy oils at the roots, deep-condition weekly, and re-tie or re-sculpt edges daily for long-lasting shape.

Long Natural Wavy Hair with Deep Side Part and Sleek Edges

This polished long wavy look suits medium to thick hair and textured strands (2A–3B) naturally, but it can be recreated on straighter hair with heat styling. Start by creating a deep side part and applying heat protectant to damp hair. Use a diffuser on low heat to enhance natural waves or wrap sections around a 1–1.25 curling wand for more defined S‑waves. Finger‑comb through the mid-lengths and ends to break up curls for a soft, lived‑in finish. Smooth the hairline and baby hairs with a lightweight edge control or gel and a small boar bristle brush for a sleek perimeter. Tools: wide‑tooth comb, diffuser or curling wand, hair clips, edge brush. Products: leave‑in conditioner, curl cream or mousse, lightweight oil/serum, heat protectant, edge control, light sea‑salt spray to add texture. Difficulty: easy–medium — basic sectioning and heat control required. Maintenance: sleep on a silk pillowcase or loosely pineapple with a silk scarf, refresh with water + curl cream or a light mist, avoid daily heat, and trim ends every 8–12 weeks to prevent frizz.

Long Voluminous Side-Swept Waves with Deep Side Part

Long Voluminous Side-Swept Waves with Deep Side Part

Suitability: Best for medium-to-thick, naturally wavy or curly hair and long lengths; can be created on straight hair with added texture or extensions. Technique: Create a deep side part, blow-dry smooth at the roots while preserving natural wave pattern through the lengths. Work in 1–2 inch sections and wrap hair around a 1¼–1½ inch barrel curling wand, curling away from the face for a uniform, salon‑polished sweep. Alternate the placement of the barrel slightly off-center on some sections for a more lived-in finish. Allow curls to cool, then gently break them up with fingers for soft, cascading waves. Tools needed: 1¼–1½ inch curling wand, wide-tooth comb or paddle brush, clips for sectioning, blow dryer with nozzle. Products required: heat protectant, lightweight mousse or root‑lift foam, texturizing spray, small amount of shine serum, flexible-hold hairspray. Difficulty level: Moderate — requires basic sectioning and heat styling skills. Maintenance tips: Sleep on a silk pillowcase or loosely braid/swirl into a silk scarf to preserve shape.

Long Textured Waves with Deep Side Part — Voluminous Natural-Look Styling

This look suits wavy to curly textures (2B–3B) best, but can be recreated on straighter hair with heat styling. Start on damp, detangled hair: apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner, a curl-defining cream, and a small amount of salt spray for texture. Create a deep side part and scrunch hair upward toward the scalp to encourage wave formation. Use a diffuser on low heat to set shape and build volume, or twist 1–2 in. sections and barrel-curl loose pieces with a 1–inch wand for more uniform waves. Finish by smoothing edges with a soft gel and toothbrush, then distribute a dime-sized serum through lengths for shine and frizz control; mist with a flexible-hold hairspray for longevity. Tools: wide-tooth comb, diffuser-attached blow dryer, 1–inch curling wand (optional), sectioning clips, edge brush. Products: leave-in conditioner, curl cream or mousse, salt spray, heat protectant, lightweight oil, flexible-hold hairspray.

Long Deep Wave Curls with Soft Face‑Framing Layers

This long deep‑wave style works best on natural curly to wavy hair types (3A–4A) or textured hair with medium to high density. Start with a hydrating wash and a silicone‑free conditioner; detangle in the shower with a wide‑tooth comb. Apply a lightweight leave‑in, followed by a curl cream or mousse from roots to ends, using prayer‑hand smoothing to distribute product without breaking the wave pattern. For definition, section hair and scrunch while diffusing on low heat with a diffuser attachment, or let air dry for a softer finish. Use a small curling wand (optional) to refine a few front face‑framing pieces. Tools needed: wide‑tooth comb, diffuser, clips, microfiber towel/t‑shirt, small curling wand (optional), and an edge brush. Products required: sulfate‑free shampoo, deep conditioner, leave‑in conditioner, curl cream or mousse, light oil/serum, light hold gel for edges, heat protectant. Difficulty: medium — requires product layering and controlled drying.

This half-up top knot is ideal for long, wavy-to-coily textures and medium to high density hair—perfect when you want a polished hairline with free-flowing length. Start on damp, detangled hair: apply a light leave-in, a curl-defining cream through lengths, then a medium-hold gel at the crown to smooth edges. Section the top 3–4 inches of hair, brush back with a boar or nylon-bristle brush to remove bumps, and secure into a small high bun with a snag-free elastic and a couple bobby pins.

This voluminous, long layered loose-wave style flatters thick, wavy to curly hair textures and works well on relaxed or natural bases. Technique: start with a clean, detangled base. Apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner and heat protectant, then define waves by diffusing on low-medium heat while scrunching with your hands to maintain natural texture. For more defined pieces, wrap 1–2 inch sections around a 1–1.25 curling wand away from the face; finger-comb when cooled to break up uniformity for a lived-in finish. Tools needed: wide-tooth comb, sectioning clips, blow-dryer with diffuser, 1–1.25 curling wand, fine-tooth tail comb for parting, small flat iron for smoothing edges. Products required: sulfate-free shampoo, hydrating conditioner, leave-in detangler, curl cream or mousse, heat protectant, lightweight silicone serum or hair oil, flexible-hold hairspray.

Suitability: best on wavy to curly hair (2B–3C) and medium to thick density; can be created on straighter hair using heat or overnight braids. Styling technique: create a defined side part, braid two to three small cornrows along the hairline on one side, then form deep, loose waves by wrapping 1–1.25 sections around a medium-barrel curling wand or by using three-strand braids left overnight for a heatless option.

This long, side-parted loose-wave look pairs a smooth, lifted crown with soft, textured waves cascading over one shoulder. It suits medium to thick hair best and works for straight to naturally wavy types (1B–3C); fine hair can mimic the volume with root-lifting products or extensions, and very curly hair benefits from a controlled blowout first. Styling technique: create a deep side part, perform a round-brush blowout to lift the roots, then wrap medium-to-large sections around a 1–1.25 curling wand or use a flat iron to form loose S-waves—leave the ends slightly straight for an undone finish.

Begin on freshly washed, towel-dried hair: apply a heat protectant and a lightweight volumizing mousse at the roots and mid-lengths. Blow-dry with a round brush and concentrator nozzle, lifting the roots to build base volume. Work in large sections, wrapping 1½–2 strands around a 1½–2 curling iron or set with large hot rollers, alternating direction for a natural flow. Allow curls to cool fully, then gently finger-comb or use a wide-tooth comb to loosen waves; lightly backcomb at the crown for extra lift. Finish with a flexible-hold hairspray and a small amount of smoothing oil on the ends for shine without weight. Tools: blow dryer, large round brush, 1½–2 curling iron or hot rollers, clips, wide-tooth comb.

To achieve it, start on damp, towel-dried hair: apply a heat protectant and a light volumizing mousse at the roots. Blow-dry using a large round brush to create lift at the crown and smooth the lengths while defining the deep side part with a tail comb. Create waves with a 1¼–1½ inch curling wand (or a flat iron used to bend sections away from the face), alternating direction on each section for natural movement. Finger-comb the curls and finish with a lightweight smoothing serum on mid-lengths and ends, then lock shape with a flexible-hold hairspray. Tools: blow dryer, large round brush, curling wand/flat iron, tail comb, clips. Products: heat protectant, volumizer/mousse, lightweight oil/serum, flexible-hold hairspray, optional texturizing spray. Difficulty: moderate — requires basic hot-tool skill and sectioning.

Long Glossy Layered Waves with Deep Side Part

This long, glossy layered wave with a deep side part is ideal for medium-to-thick natural hair, relaxed textures, and extensions. The cut uses long layers to promote movement and reduce bulk while maintaining length. Styling technique: start on clean, towel-dried hair treated with heat protectant and a root‑lifting mousse. Blow-dry with a large round brush or diffuser to create volume, set a deep side part, then wrap 1–1.25 sections around a curling wand (away from the face on top sections, alternating directions underneath). Allow curls to cool, gently brush or finger‑comb to soften into waves, and finish with a light texturizing spray and flexible‑hold hairspray for memory and movement. Tools needed: blow dryer, large round brush, 1–1.25 curling wand, sectioning clips, wide‑tooth comb and paddle or boar‑bristle brush.

Long Wet-Look Loose Waves with Deep Side Part

Long Wet-Look Loose Waves with Deep Side Part

This long, wet-look loose wave style works best on naturally wavy to curly hair (Type 2B–3B). Fine hair can get the effect using lightweight mousse and heat; straighter hair will need a curling wand or textured extensions. Start on clean, towel‑dried hair. Create a deep side part with a tail comb, apply a leave‑in conditioner, then distribute a curl‑defining cream followed by a medium‑hold gel to preserve the wet sheen. Use a wide‑tooth comb or fingers to detangle, then scrunch sections upward to form waves. For more definition, wrap random 1–2 inch sections around a 1–inch wand and finger‑loosen. Diffuse on low heat until mostly dry for long‑lasting shape, or air‑dry for softer texture. Tools: wide‑tooth comb, tail comb, diffuser, curling wand (optional), sectioning clips, microfiber towel, edge brush. Products: leave‑in, curl cream, medium‑hold gel for wet look, anti‑frizz serum, light hairspray. Difficulty: moderate (salon level 2/5) — timing is key. Maintenance: refresh with water + gel mist, pineapple or satin bonnet at night, deep condition weekly, and trim ends every 8–12 weeks to avoid split ends and frizz.

As a stylist who installs lace frontals regularly, my professional advice is to prioritize proper prep, fit, and aftercare. Always have your frontal professionally measured and trimmed to match your hairline, and ask your stylist to customize density and parting to suit your face shape. For daily care: sleep on a satin pillowcase or with a satin bonnet, refresh the hairline with light oils and edge control sparingly, and shampoo the frontal gently every 7–14 days depending on product buildup. Use a heat protectant for hot tools and avoid excessive high heat to maintain lace longevity. If you wear adhesives, remove them safely with a recommended remover and rehydrate both your scalp and the frontal. Book touch-ups every 4–6 weeks for adhesive or sew-in maintenance. With the right installation and care, a lace frontal can give you 24 beautiful, wearable styles while protecting your natural hair and expanding your styling options.
