All classic and popular looks can be wavy hairstyles for men. Waves add volume, movement, and flow that enhance any style.
Wavy hair is an asset for the short styles like the trendy textured crop but also brings something special to slick looks and the side part hairstyle. Longer styles look great too, from a mullet to shoulder-length hair.
Short wavy hairstyles just need a hint of product while some of the longer looks will benefit from some blow-drying with a diffuser for added hold and minimal frizz.
