A professional relaxer treatment can help to get this look as well as a flat iron. Long and layered, the graduated lengths help with the flow. Lighter brown highlights add depth. A side part and bangs swept over to one side show off her eyes. She is wearing natural pink lipstick and a hint of aqua around the eyes to match her dress. Big silver hoop earrings stand out as an accessory that pops.

She has a middle part with no bangs as they are incorporated into the sides which are styled smooth down to chin level where they transition into soft curls. This photo comes from the Launch Party for Melrose Place. This style is ever so similar to styles from the 70's as shown here. The updated version is more smooth and defined and much less frizzy looking.

This beautiful woman has enviable hair that is just past shoulder length.  A professional relaxer treatment can help get rid of the kinky frizzies and blow drying with a large round brush can further straighten. A curling iron held vertically while wrapping the sections around it can give the appearance of casual waves.
