Waves (hairstyle)

Hairwaves are a popular hairstyle that consist of curls that have been laid down. The hair is cropped short to the head in the styling of a Caesar cut. Afterwards, brushing techniques are applied to produce an effect reminiscent of "oceanic waves" as per the name. It is worn primarily by African-American men.

Hairwaves can be maintained through frequent and adequate brushing of the hair. The application of pomades, conditioning and the use of a do-rag is also recommended.
