body wave

Salon volume technique

A body wave is a hairstyle created by using chemicals or heat to add loose, flowing waves to the hair, giving volume without tight curls.

The term also refers to a seismic wave that travels through the Earth's interior rather than along its surface, used in earthquake science and geological exploration.

In another sense, a body wave is a rolling motion through the torso, common in dance styles like hip-hop and belly dancing: She hit a body wave that rippled from her chest to her hips.
