Long wavy hairstyle

Loose, beachy waves that tumble past the shoulders. They add volume and movement at once and frame the face softly. On naturally wavy hair, this look takes almost no effort.

What to tell your stylist

“I’d like long, loose waves. Please keep my length and use long, light layers to bring out the wave. Please don’t thin the ends too much. I’d like the waves to start below my chin.”

Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.

Why choose it

  • Adds volume and movement
  • Balances long, narrow faces
  • Easy to switch to buns and braids

Keep in mind

  • Straight hair needs the wave recreated every day
  • Needs anti-frizz care in humid weather

About Long Wavy

There are two ways to get this look. On naturally wavy hair, a long, lightly layered cut brings the wave out. On straight hair, the wave comes from a curling iron, rollers or overnight braids. Don’t let the ends get thinned out too much: waves sit more evenly when there is a little weight at the bottom.

Because waves add width on both sides, they balance long, narrow faces and soften a square jaw. On a round face, waves that start below the chin work better. Warm shades like honey blonde and copper make the play of light in the waves even richer.

Can I get long wavy hair if my hair is straight?

Yes, but the wave comes from styling rather than the cut: a curling iron, rollers or overnight braids. Mane shows you the look. In real life, expect to recreate the waves after every wash.

What’s the difference between wavy and curly hair?

Waves are wide and S-shaped, while curls are tighter spirals. For a curly look, check out Long Curls. Trying both on the same photo makes the difference clear.

How many credits does it take to try Long Wavy in Mane?

Each CONFIRM costs 1 credit and creates one image. Picking options and browsing uses no credits; a credit is only used when you press CONFIRM, and it’s refunded automatically if the generation fails. You can combine a hairstyle, color and beard in the same CONFIRM. During the beta, credits are bought in the app and the same balance works on the web.
