Here are some images of old photographs of communities wearing a Waves & Chignon hairstyle, from different eras, ethnic traditions, cultures.
Some photographs, originally in black and white, have been partially or entirely colourized by the graphic designer AGOBO.
The term " waves " refers to the natural undulations of curly hair of all sizes. These waves appear when the hair is brushed in the same direction to flatten it. With repeated brushing, the curls relax and the waves align into harmonious lines.
This Waves hairstyle is achievable on natural curly or frizzy hair.
Simply wet your hair and moisturize it well with a vegetable butter or a nourishing hair cream of your choice.
Using a cream, oil or thick butter is helpful for stabilizing hair without having to use gel.
Then, use a stiff-bristled brush to brush your hair; the natural curls will relax and form waves. The smaller the curls, the more numerous and smaller the waves will be.
