20 Haircuts That Emphasize Wavy Hair
Check out this beautiful range of styles—from long layers to pixies.
There's a lot to love about wavy hair: When you get a blowout or straighten your hair it tends to last for days (although, sure, an especially humid day will bring some frizz). You can also play up your texture with curly hair products to give you more defined waves, volume, and bounciness.
That said, experts suggest you lean into one of these two style options so that you can tailor your haircut to it. "If you want to enhance your waves, you should add more layers to your cut," says celebrity hairstylist Danielle Priano. "The more weight you remove, the more movement your hair will have." Alternatively, a blunt cut weighs the hair down, making waves less apparent.
If you're still deciding which wavy haircut is right for you, check out this list. With the help of pro hairstylists, we have lots of inspiring ideas.
