Here’s a guide to help you determine if you’ve been blessed with gorgeous waves, along with some top tips for managing and embracing your natural texture.
Signs Your Hair Might Be Naturally Wavy
1. Hair Holds an S Band Shape Fresh Out of the Shower
After washing, does your hair form loose S-shaped waves as it dries? This is a strong indication of wavy hair
2. Frizz Is a Big Part of Your Life
Persistent frizz is a common trait of wavy hair. It’s often a result of the hair’s natural structure and texture. Lack of moisture causes frizz as dry hair absorbs moisture from the air, leading to that familiar halo of frizz
3. Air-Dried Hair Has Natural Waves
This may seem obvious but when left to air dry, does your hair show any kind of wave or curl? If it’s anything but straight when you leave it to air-dry, chances are it’s naturally wavy!

5. Heat Struggles to make it Straight
Struggling to straighten certain sections of your hair no matter how much heat you apply? Persistent kinks and bends that resist straightening could mean you’ve been blessed with a natural wave.
6. Hair Looks Frizzy and Puffy When Brushed Dry
Brushing your hair dry can disrupt the wave pattern and increase frizz, making your hair look bigger and puffier.
7. The Same Goes for Blow Drying
Blow drying without a diffuser or proper technique can lead to a frizzy, voluminous mess. Waves need gentle drying methods to maintain their shape.
8. Hair Reacts to Humidity
Humid environments cause wavy hair to swell and frizz. If your hair reacts dramatically to moisture in the air, it’s a sign of natural waves or curls.
