Hairstyles for Wavy Hair

Short hair doesn’t have to mean dull; here’s how you can style your waves differently.

Waterfall braid

The waterfall braid is braided along the hairline, slowly descending to the back of the head. To start, make a side part and grab three small parts of hair at the front. Taking the hair portion that is closest to the hairline, cross it over the middle section; cross the third section over the new middle section, leaving the original middle section hanging to make the waterfall effect. Cross the other two sections once and repeat the procedure – grab a new piece of hair from above the braid as you go and drop it down the middle. Tighten the braid at desired length beneath the hair using hairpins.

Half up half down

This hairstyle can let you show off your waves and make your hair look voluminous while keeping hair off your face. You can also think of a half-bun hairdo.

Fishtail braid
Separate hair into two equal parts and keep it loosely at the end. Grab a part of hair from one side and cross it over to the other side, combining both sections. Repeat this step on another side too. Tie hair with a clip or tie.

The key to making a great fishtail is to take a smaller part each time. If you find it difficult to braid, think of tying hair in a ponytail at the nape before begin to braid, and cut off the hair tie once you are done braiding.

French braid
Divide into three sections and start making a traditional braid – bring the right and the left section over to the center, and then alternate a few times. Keep redoing these steps but while working in new hair sections from both sides of the head. Grab smaller sections for a specified braid or larger ones for a messier look. As you reach the nape, continue with a traditional or fishtail braid and tighten at the end with a hair tie.

Dutch braid
Simply follow the steps to form a French braid but while crossing hair sections, remember to go under the middle section rather than over the top. This will make your braid look fuller.

Side-swept ponytail

Clear all of your hair to one side and hold it over the shoulder. Grab two small sections from below and wrap around the ponytail to look like a hair tie. Tie it with bobby pins.

 

Braided ponytail
Tie your hair into a high ponytail and braid the length of your hair into a fishtail. To make a braided rope ponytail, divide the length of your hair into two parts and twist each of them separately.

Pull-through ponytail
With a hair tie, tighten a small part of your hair at the top of your head and flip it towards the front to keep it out of the way. Next, tie a ponytail at the bottom of the first one by taking two parts of hair from the sides of your head. Flip back the first ponytail and separate the hair into two parts, enclosing each part around the second ponytail you tie. Flip the second part of the ponytail to the front. Create a third ponytail below the second one by taking hair from both sides and joining the first part into it. Tie with a hair tie and redo these steps by incorporating hair from the second section into the fourth section. Collect all the hair into a ponytail and Tie it with a hair tie.
