waviness
Hair's natural curl
Waviness is the quality of having waves or undulations.
Hair with waviness falls somewhere between straight and curly.
A surface with waviness has gentle rises and dips rather than being perfectly flat.
The term appears in technical contexts describing material properties: The waviness of the glass distorted the view.
