Form Wavy Hair Styles

The single biggest factor that limits your hair style choices.

Your hair type can range from the fine blond hair of Scandinavians to the thick, and sometimes coarse hair of Asians and Indians. Straight hair can be texturized with perms, hair setting, and hair care products. Thin, straight hair often benefits from being colored, which adds texture and fullness to each strand.

 
Very coarse or thick straight hair may be difficult to perm, requiring extra time and additional perming rods in order to achieve the proper final look. Simple, geometric haircuts (like bobs) are a natural for straight hair of any texture. Very straight, thick hair is often resistant to perms-stubborn about taking a curl and likely to need frequent perming to maintain the hair's new texture.

Wavy Hair Style Wavy hair styles

A wavy hair type is considered by many to be the most desirable. It has lots of natural movement that can be maximized with hairstyling products to create different effects. Wavy hair is versatile and can be blown dry into a straight hair look or scrunched for a curly hair effect. Waves make lightly layered hair styles a natural choice. Adding hair highlights or hair lowlights via hair color or shine-enhancing products can maximize the appearance of wavy hair's gentle undulation. The wavy hair type can also be combed into retro hair styles, such as 20's looks—very romantic!

Curly Hair Style Curly hair styles

The curly hair type has great natural body, but can look dull or unruly. To maximize your hair's potential, choose a layered hair style (long or short) that cuts shape into curly hair. Brilliantines, hair pomades, surface silkeners, and soft hair fixatives can boost curly hair's shine and calm down too much hair curl. For very coarse, curly hair (like that of many African Americans), chemical retexturizing via hair coloring or hair relaxing is a good choice. These give your hair style a smoother and more manageable feel. Deep, heat-activated hair conditioners are also important for curly hair, which sometimes has a tendency towards breakage and split ends.
