Achieving the wavy hair look can be done in two primary ways. The most straightforward method is to simply be born with wavy locks. Alternatively, individuals with straight hair can manipulate their strands to create a natural-looking wave by sectioning their damp hair into larger braids and leaving them in place for a few hours or overnight. Once removed, gently work out any tangles using a vent brush or your fingertips.
However, before attempting either of these methods, it’s essential to start with a haircut that is on point.
Choppy dark brown angled bob
At first glance, this image may initially draw attention to its wavy texture, but a closer look reveals that it’s an A-line bob. This type of haircut is particularly well-suited for those with wavy hair textures who want to add some flair to their style without committing to an overly dramatic cut.
Choppy brown wavy A-line bob with blond highlights
At first, it might seem like you’re looking at a haircut that’s identical to the previous one. While there is indeed a similarity between the two, what really sets this style apart is the subtle yet striking addition of soft blonde highlights, which can be described as lowlights on certain sections of her hair.
Buttery blonde wavy bob with side part and bangs
This season, the spotlight shines brightest on a specific shade of blonde hair – the buttery blonde. While not as dramatic as platinum locks, this hue still packs a striking punch. To add an extra layer of charm and whimsy, bangs are often incorporated, giving off a youthful and playful vibe. Interestingly, this particular cut is well-suited for oval-shaped faces, making it a versatile and flattering option.
Ombre graduated lob (straight or wavy)
The timeless allure of ombre is undeniable, and its enduring popularity is evident in this striking image. What sets this hairstyle apart is the way it transforms from a sleek, chin-length lob when straightened to a chic bob with subtle waves. This versatility is thanks to the magic of wavy hair, which can add volume and texture without requiring any drastic cuts or changes.
Short angled light brown wavy bob with bangs
While the versatility of a ponytail might not be achievable, the relaxed vibe of this bob style can still be effortlessly styled without too much fuss. The key lies in embracing the natural texture and flow of your wavy locks, which already add a charming touch to the overall look.
Curly jet black bob
When it comes to wavy curly hairstyles, the phrase ‘wavy’ doesn’t quite do justice to the abundance of big and beautiful curls that are expertly woven together with the waves. The unique combination of texture and definition makes this hairstyle truly stand out. Interestingly, darker shades tend to bring out more definition in curly hair, which is why dark brown or jet black colours often complement this cut particularly well. In fact, this hairstyle is incredibly flattering on Black women.

The photograph showcases a soft, wavy bob hairstyle from a unique angle, highlighting its overall healthiness. This is our first reason for featuring this image. A great cut or color may be impressive, but it’s crucial to consider the condition of the hair as well. To achieve this level of vibrancy, it’s essential to prioritize deep conditioning and regular trims. These habits can make a significant difference in how well a color treatment is received.
Really wavy caramel lob with blonde tips
The precision cut of her hair is evident, suggesting that the hairstylist used a razor to achieve the desired look. The caramel hue complements her wavy texture beautifully, while the blonde tips add a warm, sun-kissed dimension. This shoulder-length bob hairstyle appears well-suited for thick hair, though those with thinner locks may find inspiration in alternative cuts.
Wavy A-line lob for thick hair (complete with side-swept bangs)
The hairdo features waves that bear a striking resemblance to curls, leading us to speculate that the stylist employed a curling iron to inject some texture and definition into the style. The sweeping bangs, in turn, skillfully frame her face, lending an endearingly youthful quality to the overall silhouette – a trait that seems to transcend age, making this inverted bob appear remarkably timeless.
Very loose waves bob with a middle part
The effortless charm of her hairstyle becomes instantly recognizable when we consider that it appears to be the result of air-drying her locks naturally. In many cases, this approach can inadvertently create a subtle wave pattern in hair that may not typically exhibit wavy tendencies on its own. The outcome is a bob-inspired look that exudes a wholesome and alluring quality, particularly with the addition of that defining middle part.
Dark copper-colored wavy bob
Incorporating copper tones into your wavy bob hairstyle is an excellent way to stay on-trend for 2016, especially if you’re one who likes to change up their hair color with the seasons. The warm, inviting quality of copper makes it a perfect choice for fall and winter looks, evoking a sense of cozy warmth during the colder months. For those looking to nod to the warmer weather that’s soon to come, adding subtle hints of blonde can be an effective way to bridge the seasons.
Dark brown wavy lob with light brown low lights and bangs
While we absolutely adore this cute bob hairstyle for Asian girls, it’s the subtle details that truly make it stand out. The wavy layers and bangs create an adorable overall effect, but what’s often overlooked is the clever use of low lights throughout the style. Take a closer look, and you’ll notice the brown undertones expertly woven in to add depth and dimension.
The fact that they’re low lights rather than highlights makes them slightly harder to spot at first glance, but it’s definitely worth taking the time to appreciate their impact on the overall aesthetic.
Wavy A-line bob with middle part and two-braid “headband”
For those who embody the carefree spirit of Bohemian style, there’s a clever way to add a touch of effortless elegance without relying on traditional headbands. Simply create two braids, one on each side of your hair, and secure them with bobby pins or barrettes. This charming look is particularly well-suited for wavy A-line bobs, adding a playful yet polished finishing touch.
Wavy bob with straight side-swept bangs
When it comes to incorporating bangs into a naturally wavy hairstyle, there are several options to consider. For those who want to add a bit of edge to their look but still maintain the natural texture of their locks, straightening their bangs with a flat iron can be an effective solution. However, before doing so, it’s essential to take precautions to prevent damage by applying a heat protectant. This simple step will help preserve the integrity of your hair and ensure a healthy-looking finish.
Wavy bob with long layers
For many women, getting layers cut into their hair can be a daunting prospect, especially when it comes to growing them out. However, wavy and curly textures offer a bit of a reprieve from this process, as layers are less noticeable compared to straight hair. But what if you’re still hesitant about going for the layered look? The good news is that there’s a compromise: opting for long layers instead.
These can be just as stunning and require significantly less maintenance than their shorter counterparts.
Super wavy bob with lots of layers and platinum streaks
The subtle nuances of this hairstyle make it a true masterpiece. The abundance of waves creates a mesmerizing effect, reminiscent of a gentle ocean breeze. While it may resemble a classic bob from afar, the clever layering in the back adds a touch of sophistication, blurring the lines between a traditional cut and an A-line design.
Wavy blonde bob with natural roots and brow-grazing bangs
Celebrity-inspired bob hairstyles often feature unique touches, like the subtle layering evident in this look. The longer strands of hair that frame her face add a touch of whimsy to an otherwise sleek design. Additionally, the natural roots and warm blonde color create a fresh, on-trend aesthetic. Meanwhile, the bangs are well-proportioned, neither too short nor too long, but rather perfectly placed to complete the overall look.
Caramel “messy” wavy bob
A stylishly imperfect coiffure can be just as effective in formal settings as its immaculate counterpart. The secret lies in commencing with a well-chosen haircut and complementing it with a color palette that harmonizes with one’s skin tone, much like caramel hues tend to do for many individuals.
Short(er) and full wavy bob with big curls and side part
It’s likely that our celebrity’s naturally curly locks have been enhanced with larger-than-usual rollers to achieve such an impressive volume. The striking similarity between her dark hair color and the side part only adds to the overall allure of this bob, which appears shorter than its actual length due to the abundance of curls.

When examining these waves, it’s clear they’re bordering on curls. For individuals with a similar hair texture, this can be an excellent starting point for envisioning how a lob (long bob) would suit their features. With a few strategically added layers, the style can be transformed from heavy and ringlet-like to airy and elegant.
