soft waves

Calm water movement

Soft waves are gentle, loose curls in hair—neither straight nor tightly coiled, with a relaxed S-shaped pattern.

The style is achieved through curling irons, rollers, or braiding damp hair: She styled her hair in soft waves for the wedding.

The term also describes gentle undulations in water, fabric, or other surfaces.
