Here are 10 gorgeous 2A hair ideas.
1. Classic Effortless Beach Wave
The beachy wave is a virtually essential look for this type of hair — and done well, it feels like you’ve been at the beach on a weekend, not spent 20 minutes in the bathroom. The aim is to be loose and relaxed, but not so loose as to be out of focus.
2. Soft Layers with Face-Framing Waves
Layers are one of the most dynamic cuts for creating wavy hairstyles and of course, for finer 2A hair, they are a must-have! Well-placed layers eliminate bulk and weight which can flatten light waves, enabling them to spring up and hold their shape much better.
3. Tousled Half-Up, Half-Down
Half up/ half down will be an endless flattering and wonderfully simple style — and best of all — for wavy hair, it is an excellent way to lift volume at the crown while maintaining the waves at the bottom.
4. Curtain Bangs with Loose Waves
Curtain bangs are one of the most popular hair trends of recent times; these soft fringe bangs that part in the middle — it is a true beauty to be paired with loose waves.
5. Low Bun with Wavy Tendrils
The most refined often are the most laid back. A low bun that’s not tidied and compacted has a soft, romantic and timeless look because the wavy pieces are intentionally left around the face and nape area. Though it’s great for everyday use, it can be dressed up or down, depending on the bun’s style.
6. Voluminous blow-out with a wave finish
If you’re looking for a bigger, more refined do on those days when you want to go big and bold, you can diffused or roughen up your do and raise the roots up a lot without completely straightening the hair.
7. Braided Crown with Flowing Waves
A thin crown braid added on top of the hairline is the ideal way to achieve a fairy tale look; the rest of the crown remains natural and wavy. To the romantic and bohemian crowd, it’s very fashionable for casual wear.
8. Textured Lob (Long Bob)
The lob, or long bob, is a cut that generally ends somewhere between the chin and collarbone and is always a good look for wavy hair. At this length, 2A waves have sufficient weight to maintain their shape, but not so much that they easily pull out, and the shortness of 2A is more beneficial to wave formation.
9. Beachy Highlights on Natural Waves
Color and texture are a perfect match and sun-kissed highlights on naturally wavy hair can give it a multi-dimensional look that is truly beautiful. A living, changing depth that a flat, straight hair can’t achieve is captured by the light bouncing off the wave pattern of balayage or babylights painted through the mid-lengths and ends.
10. Defined Waves with a Diffuser
