water wave

Surge across surface

A water wave is a hairstyle created by wetting the hair and shaping it into waves using fingers, combs, or clips, then allowing it to dry in place.

The technique creates soft, S-shaped curves that lie close to the head: She styled her hair in elegant water waves for the gala.

The term distinguishes this method from heat-based or chemical waving processes.
