Waist Alternating-Direction S
Waist-length hair where adjacent panels are wound in opposite directions so the waves interlock.
Extra-longS-wave
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a wave perm set through the lengths
- movement from the s-wave
- a ash colour
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Higher upkeep
- This shape rewards regular styling — the reference finish leans on it.
- 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.
