Fresh beach waves in a medium chopped hairstyle is what embraces Salma Hayek’s chocolate brown locks. Her haircut is best described as sexy and sultry with the more prominent section brushed to one side; hence partly grazing the other side of her face more dominantly. It’s quite a great match for Salma’s beautiful facial features.
