Soft Waves

Maintaining soft waves without heat styling can be challenging for shorter lengths, which is why we love this viral tutorial which uses pin curl clips and styling products to achieve effortless beachy styles.

For smooth and hydrated waves, grab a lightweight hair oil. Wavy locks are naturally dryer than straight ones, so any additional hydration helps your coils look healthy and whole. This formula features moringa, sunflower, and grape seed oils to lock in shine and control flyaways.

Those with high-porosity locks, which tend to absorb and release moisture like a sponge with numerous holes, should opt for products that provide both hold and humidity – like this Controlled Chaos conditioner! This popular deep conditioner contains smoothing fatty alcohols, shea butter, and Kakadu plum extract to hydrate locks while smoothing frizz away for an all-over smooth surface finish.

Pixie Bob

A classic look for wavy hair, the pixie bob is an adorable style with choppy layers that make your waves the focal point. Add an unexpected flair by folding over front layers over your forehead for a charming faux bangs style.

An angled pixie cut is another great way to show off your natural wavy hair texture, providing a sleek silhouette while adding volume and balance to a bob-cut bob.

If your pixie cut has outgrown its intended purpose, change your style by adding a fade. Perfect for those with wavy hair, this trendy haircut creates a stand-out new look in any crowd. With several fade styles available, find one that complements your personality perfectly.

Soft Layers

If you have outgrown your pixie cut but are still deciding whether to commit to a full bob, the long lob is an appealing alternative that showcases natural waves. It falls at or just below the shoulders and can easily be controlled using balayage or colored highlights.

A blunt bob with bangs is a striking look that is perfect for wavy locks. Wavy strands add texture and volume, perfectly complementing the short length and choppy fringe. Try opting for an inverted bob with side parting instead for an added layer of elegance.

Emma Stone’s choppy red bob is ideal for thin wavy hair, as its layers naturally add volume and texture to her locks, so flat waves become obsolete. Additionally, this style can easily be maintained since choppy bangs can be brushed back inmore formally.
