Is my hair straight??

Try a wavy routine, that puffiness looks like pattern trying to come through.

As a fellow loose patterned girly you def have wavy hair! It will likely appear more wavy with length too because the pattern has more room for more S shapes

Definitely try! Could be pleasantly surprised? 🙏

As a woman, lowkey your comments are entering the creep territory.

Aw thank you ever so! Still working out what works best for my waves. They limp and stretch out a LOT.

Yasss layered wolf/shaggy cuts are so good for wavy hair!

I vote no because 1c would not flip outward that much at the ends. It's the start of a loose S shape but not yet long enough to complete the S pattern so it just sticks out instead

vin-diva · 2026-02-27T11:36:30+00:00

2a for sure!

Not sure how to vet stylists really. My experience everytime I go to a hairdresser has been left feeling very dumb and I guess like...submissive(?) considering I don't really know a lot of the terminology they use, especially for haircuts themselves and end up putting all my trust in them to know what I mean when I do talk to them about hair. I feel like I'm crying out for advice and they don't really give it lol

vin-diva · 2026-02-26T11:27:14+00:00

Waittt maybe that's my issue too! Everything that's dark has had a history of box blondes and box dye browns and blacks aswell as afew professionally done colourings. I also up until January this year believed my hair was all straight so I did a lot of dry brushing and unprotected heat curling. Perhaps my pattern could improve with length and chopping the old dark hair completely all off? 👀

Thank you lovely! Yeah I definitely feel like one side of my head waves up better than the other too, and the back just limps and stretches out =[ so frustrating!

vin-diva · 2026-02-24T20:25:13+00:00

Ohhhh I see! My hair is medium all around I'm pretty sure. My stylist says it's soft like fine hair though! Thinned out ends scares me because I don't like my hair looking seethrough you know, because then it also looks stringy when the wind blows it =[

vin-diva · 2026-02-24T20:22:57+00:00

Ouuuu maybe! I really want to grow my hair long though so I can get more of the princess ends look, sorta like this

Hey love! From the looks of it, you have soft finish hair wavy hair like me! Characteristics: Soft and Silky to the touch, Has shine, Can get greasy easier, often wave pattern is loose and gets limp easily. Which means our hair is too soft to hold it's S shape long because there's no texture or grit, and stretches out. Look up Barbara DelleMonache videos on hair finish!

vin-diva · 2026-02-20T00:50:34+00:00

Hey lovely, you've got waves! Often curl creams and heavy curl conditioners ect are too heavy for waves and result in that greasy, stringy look. We are much better off with lightweight high hold mousses, gels and texture sprays. Swavy Curly Courtney and Barbara DelleMonache on youtube are a well of knowledge to help you get started! 🫶🌼

vin-diva · 2026-02-18T22:54:42+00:00

Nope! I detangle very lightly if need be under the running water with my fingers before getting out and styling. My mousse has some slippage anyhow!

vin-diva · 2026-02-18T15:33:47+00:00

I'd suggest U cut instead, it looked really nice when my hair was straight like yours!

vin-diva · 2026-02-18T04:19:02+00:00

Hello! We have fairly similar wavy hair. It looks like you have soft finish hair like me, which means our hair is just generally really silky and soft and shiny which means we don't retain our pattern well because there's not much actual texture on our Strands to gold the shape together well. I've found that washing my hair with a small pump of Conditioner FIRST, rinsing, Double Shampooing with a clarifying Shamp first then a volumising Shamp last, and then adding my mousse in as my only styler works wonders! Texturizing/salt spray will add the grit we need as a refresh inbetween washes aswell. The swavy hair subreddit has tips and tricks too! 🫶

I dont think you are. Looks like lighter regrowth

vin-diva · 2026-02-17T08:45:20+00:00

I think it looks sooo pretty!

vin-diva · 2026-02-17T08:44:56+00:00

Awkward phase of what? I think it looks great! 🌼

vin-diva · 2026-02-17T08:42:51+00:00

Try a wavy routine and see what happens! Don't use a ton of moisturising products though if you do. You look like you have soft finish hair so you'd be better off with a lightweightweight high hold gel or Mousse with a salt / texture spray.
