If your hair falls with more bend than a straight line and less curve than curls, you have wavy or type 2A waves. Choose strong hold styling products to help accentuate and define your natural wave pattern.
Short Haircuts
Wavy short hairstyles provide more styling possibilities than straight strands for short haircuts. You can highlight your natural texture with a shaggy pixie cut or keep things simple with an asymmetrical bob. When selecting highlight hues, choose shades lighter than your natural hue to avoid overwhelming your strands.
For a feminine style, pair your wavy haircut with face-framing bangs. This look works well for going out or can easily be styled into half-up braids for casual events. An alternative option for short layered bob hairstyles is using a straightening iron for sleek, polished results. For simple styles, scrunch your strands as they dry, and use a volumizing spray or scented hair oil for extra moisture.
