Beach waves, big barreled curls, ringlets—they're all hairstyles we know and love. But when it comes to the ultimate glam hairdo, there's only one style that never gets old: Retro waves.

They're not just a trendy style; they're a proven classic. Still not convinced? Then look no further than Reese Witherspoon at the 2013 Oscars. Her buttery blond locks fell into perfectly side swept waves, making for a truly bombshell moment. And at the 2015 Golden Globes, retro waves made a triumphant appearance on Allison Williams, who styled her chestnut tresses into a sleek curled-under 'do.

Now, if Chrissy Teigen's working retro waves, you know that it must be an A-list hairstyle. Point in case: the Sports Illustrated model's cascading finger waves at the 2015 Oscars. Seriously, everyone else at awards show might as well have gone home after she arrived, because Chrissy crushed the hair competition.

See what we mean? No doubts about it, retro waves provide the ultimate, guarenteed-glam hairstyle.
