Shoulder length, and thick wavy hair offer both texture and movement. Layered styles often complement this type of braid, adding volume and emphasizing training.
An Effortless Shaggy Bob
Santiago suggests using UNITE’s BEACH DAY Sea Salt Texturizing Spray to achieve this effortless style, creating a natural beachy vibe in their hair.
Jagged Layers
Consider getting a shaggy layered cut featuring full, thick bangs and point-cut ends to channel rocker-chick vibes. Try blow-drying your hair rough to achieve this style or using texturizing products to tame frizz and define waves.
The Graduated Step Cut
The graduated step cut is ideal for wavy hair as it encourages natural movement by adding layers that gradually shorten down the head. This style requires minimal upkeep with regular trims and looks chic no matter your face shape!
Flip Back Shaggy Layers
Flip your shaggy layers for a casual yet feminine half-up, half-down look that combines casualty and femininity. Flipping back your layers can add volume without altering your natural texture – secure this look using some bobby pins!
Face-Framing Curls
This style’s face-framing curls will emphasize the most flattering features in your face, like your chin and cheekbones, drawing attention to them. Stylist Fallon Toni Chavez utilized an inverted cut on influencer Ciara’s wavy locks for an eye-catching contrast. Medium-length styles like this make styling simple with a large curling wand or simply scrunching with hands for an effortlessly chic appearance.
Long Bangs
Bangs are an eye-catching fashion statement and an effective way to show off natural texture. Try rocking a blunt bob with side-swept bangs like Logan Browning to display old-school glamour or retro waves like Kristen Bell has.
Loose Messy Bun
Though many assume messy hairstyles are best suited for thin locks, they can work just as effectively with thick, wavy, medium-length hair. Add texture with dry shampoo or texturizing spray to achieve an exquisite casual chignon with enough volume and movement!
A Low Messy Bun
A low, messy bun is another easy and stylish way to style shoulder-length wavy hair. You can tighten or loosen it to suit your preferences; leaving loose strands framing your face for an intimate effect.
Voluminous Messy Bun
For an even voluminous messy bun, this high chignon tutorial starts with a ponytail and requires just three wraps of hair tied together before crisscrossing and tucking the ends into its base. Ensure you stock up on plenty of bobby pins to secure it securely!
