Abstract: We derive a novel two-component generalization of the nonlinear variational wave equation as a model for the director field of a nematic liquid crystal with a variable order parameter. The two-component nonlinear variational wave equation admits solutions locally in time. We show that a particular long time asymptotic expansion around a constant state in a moving frame satisfy the two-component Hunter--Saxton system.
