Looking for a New Wavy Hairstyle to Suits Your Hair Type and Face Shape?

Whether you have thick, fine, straight, or curly hair, there's a wavy hairstyle out there for you! From short wavy haircuts to long wavy manes, we've collected plenty of ideas for you to browse!

Try a wavy lob for a chic and trendy look, or go for a messy bob for a more relaxed vibe. Use a curling iron or curling wand to create loose waves or tight curls, or use a blow dryer and round brush to add volume to your wavy locks.

For a wet hair look, let your hair air dry with gel or pomade, or use hair accessories to create different styles. If you have thick tresses, consider a layered haircut or long layers to help thin out your hair.

If you have fine hair, opt for a shoulder-length cut to add some body and volume. No matter what your hair texture or hair length is, you can rock a wavy hairstyle that suits you.

Don't forget to take care of your hair with proper hair care and maintenance. We have 9 wavy hair care tips to share with you as well!

The Best Low Maintenance Haircuts for Wavy Hair

1. Wolf Cut for Wavy Hair

If you love to follow the latest trends while still rocking a low maintenance hairstyle, the wolf haircut is for you. This cut is a celebrity favorite because it features shaggy layers that give your hair a glamorous volume boost.

The voluminous wolf haircut has been described as being a cross between a shag hair cut and a mullet, topped off with curtain bangs. If you have naturally wavy hair, this is the perfect haircut for you.

2. Tousled Pixie Cut

If you have wavy hair and love edgy styles, the tousled pixie is a great option if you love short hair. This cut is shorter in the back and longer in the front, with choppy layers that give wavy strands a natural texture boost.

There are a number of variations on this hair cut which range from bouncy and feminine to more tomboyish and daring. Consult your hair stylist to see which style works best for you. If you're hoping to not spend a bunch of time on your hair routine, we recommend this style for natural waves that tend to be more frizz free.

3. Side-Parted with Medium-Long Layers

Some of the best low maintenance haircuts are longer, traditional styles. This medium-long layered cut features long layers that begin at shoulder length. This cut works great on thick wavy hair. Let hair dry naturally with your hair center parted, then add a deep side part and tease a little with some texturing spray or hair spray for extra volume.

4. Waist-Length and Tapered

While maintaining thick hair that's this long can be more high-maintenance in terms of what you do in the shower and while you sleep, the styling process is pretty straightforward. Ask your hairstylist to taper your long hair in the back with the shortest edges beginning at your shoulders.

Add some curl cream, blow dry at the roots to add volume, and let the rest air dry as you go about your day. To care for this style overnight, we recommend sleeping on a Blissy silk pillowcase to ensure strands don't get tangled and stay smooth.

5. Wavy Lob for Fine Hair

If you have thin hair or fine hair that's naturally wavy, consider the lob. This haircut is your best bet if you have a heart face shape. This is a medium length style that's basically a long bob that grazes the shoulders, or just above.

If your hair is not prone to pouf, air drying this style should be no problem. This style generally feature straight lines, but some face-framing choppy bangs can be added in for additional style.

6. Long and Piece-y with Curtain Bangs and Dynamic Color

This style looks great on many hair types, whether you have thin hair or thick hair, curlier waves or straighter waves. Ask your stylist to add in some dynamic coloring like some peekaboo highlights to make the most of this look. Curtains bangs add an air of retro chic to this long-haired style featuring piece-y longer layers.

7. Wavy side-parted bob

If you're done dealing with long hair, try one of the best low maintenance hairstyles--the bob haircut. This classic textured bob oozes femininity. Adding shorter layers helps define curls and keep this cut from "mushrooming" out. For even more low maintenance, allow your bob to grow into a lob, then go back into stylist when you're ready to sculpt it back into this ultra-cute bob!

8. Messy Waves Shoulder-Length Shag With Long Bangs

This is the perfect hairstyle if you are looking for a trendy yet low-maintenance look. This style features short choppy layers, creating a tousled and textured effect that works well with thick, wavy hair or fine tresses. The shaggy layers and long bangs add dimension and movement to the style, while the shoulder-length cut is perfect for everyday wear.

9. French Wavy Bob With Short Bangs

If you prefer short wavy hair, this is a trendy wavy hairstyle that is to die for! This is one of our favorite short wavy hairstyles. It features a wavy bob that is cut just below the chin and complemented by short, tousled bangs. This hairstyle is perfect for those with soft waves and can be enhanced with a curling iron or a flat iron to give it shape. Ooh-la-la, We love that French girl style!

10. Voluminous Medium Length Wavy Hair With Side Fringe

If you have long wavy hair and are looking for a change but aren't ready to take the plunge into short hair, this is a great look. It's also perfect if you prefer classic vibes and everyday style over trendy looks.

This medium-length wavy layered haircut is one of the best classic hairstyles for a wavy mane. The long face-framing layers enhance your face shape while a bit of side bang gives it extra shape. If you like big hair and voluminous curls, you'll love this look.

11. Grown-Out Pixie for Short Wavy Hair

Looking for a chic and effortless way to style your short wavy hair? Check out the grown-out pixie cut for wavy hair! This trendy and low-maintenance look is perfect if you're looking to add a touch of edge to your style.

With its tousled waves, this hairstyle exudes a laid-back vibe that's perfect for any occasion. Plus, the grow-out phase allows for plenty of versatility in styling, from slicking it back to adding in some fun hair accessories!
