Japanese Flat-Plane S Wave
A flat planar wave alternating within a single plane, finished dry and separated.
LongS-waveSee-through fringe
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a wave perm set through the lengths
- movement from the s-wave
- see-through fringe
- a ash colour
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Medium upkeep
- Expect a few minutes of styling most days to keep the shape reading the way it does here.
- At the salon
- A perm (heat or cold) may be involved — worth discussing your hair's condition first.
- Colouring is part of this look.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.
Bring this to your appointment
“I like the s-wave and the long silhouette, and the see-through fringe. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”
