Messy Bun
One of the best hairstyles for thick wavy locks is a messy bun, featuring strategically placed layers to tame big locks without sacrificing shape and volume. If your waves are too voluminous for this style, ask your stylist about creating a choppy angled lob with color fade to add some dimension and volume.
This classic yet contemporary look works with any color and is ideal for highlighting vibrant hues. To give this style extra texture, use dry shampoo or texturizing spray on your locks; some stray baby hairs or flyaways only add to its undone charm!
Off-Center Part
A center part can exaggerate an already pointy chin or draw too much attention to your symmetrical features, so consider shifting it slightly sideways instead. Doing this may also give extra softness to wavy brunette lobs with delicate baby lights by moving the part somewhat left or right.
Tousled waves offer that “just-woke-up-like-this” look that makes them ideal for thick wavy locks. To achieve them, ask your stylist to layer and graphically shape your locks for accuracy and apply texture-boosting shampoos and conditioners for reduced weight on strands.

Ombre
Ombre is an increasingly popular trend for wavy hair. It involves creating a gradient of colors from dark roots to lighter ends that creates an eye-catching contrast, from natural blonde into brown or even rich red or black into copper.
If ombre is too stark for you, try the less stark look of somber or balayage, which involves framing your face using foils to achieve more natural, lived-in results. Or try flamboyage babylights – finer foils used like traditional highlights but in more subdued tones for added dimension.
Be sure to limit shampooing frequently (every other day for oily locks, and every day for coarse locks) to preserve your new color from fading and oxidization.
