Alternating S — Both Directions
Adjacent panels wound in opposite directions so neighbouring waves lean against each other.
MediumS-wave
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a wave perm set through the lengths
- movement from the s-wave
- a dark brown 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.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.

“I like the s-wave and the medium silhouette. Can we talk about how this would sit with my texture and my routine?”
