Part your hair down the middle. Styling hair with a middle part is super trendy and gives off an innocent vibe. Plus, the style emphasizes the natural curve of your waves. If you have long layers or curtain bangs, all the style takes is a comb and some brushing.^{[7]

Taper the sides and fluff the top. A faded side with a choppy layered top adds edge and pairs nicely with a short beard. Simply keep the hair around your ears military short and tousle the top with gel or hairspray.

Pull your hair over to one side. If you have longer hair or bangs, use a brush or your fingertips to move it up and over to one side. This will accentuate your jawline and give fluidity to those sexy waves.
6
Keep your hair long and messy. Everyone will be swooning over you and this sexy look, and all you have to do is roll out of bed! Run your fingers through your hair, opting for a hair oil if your waves get frizzy. This style works best with chin and shoulder-length hair.^{[8]

What do you do if your crush doesn’t like your wavy hair?

Try changing up your hairdo if your crush doesn’t like wavy hair. Style your hair differently by parting your hair in the opposite direction or gelling it back in a way you haven’t before. Don’t be afraid to try something new. You may just find a look you adore!
- Confidence is key, and you should only switch things up if you want to.
- If anyone pressures you into changing your appearances, it may be time to move on.
- Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone has a “type” or “standard.”^{[10]
