loose waves

Soft, flowing texture

Loose waves are a hairstyle characterized by soft, relaxed curls that fall in gentle S-shaped patterns rather than tight ringlets.

The style aims for effortless, beachy texture: She used a curling iron to create loose waves.

In hair styling, loose waves sit between straight hair and defined curls, suggesting natural movement without looking overly styled.
