They give a very soft and gorgeous look to women. Many women with straight hair are trying to go for body wave perm while women with extremely curly hair use hair relaxers to make their curls look less pronounced.

Cut 'em

Once you have styled your hair into soft wavy styles, consider getting a haircut. You can simply get some layers in your wavy hair, and accompany it with some type of bangs. If you have a round face, then consider getting some additional layers near the crown. With this style, accompany side sweeping bangs or go for a stylish Cleopatra style bangs.
Another way to cut wavy hair is razor cut. In this cut, the stylist will hold a section of hair away from the head, and start slicing the hair section bit by bit. This will give you those soft wispy ends, which give tapering sexy locks. With these styles, blunt cut side bangs look great.

Color 'em

To add more style to your hair, consider dyeing your hair. If you want a total hair makeover, then dye your hair completely shiny raven black, honey blonde or auburn for a sexy look. If you don't want such a dramatic change, then get some foil skinny highlights.
This will give a subtle textured hair look. Choose a hair dye color, which suits your eye color and complexion, then get around 8-12 highlights done. Make sure you get your highlights done on your bangs too, to make the highlights look natural.
So, what are you waiting for? Choose a perm or a curling solution to style your hair wavy, and go with a great looking cut and color for a total hair makeover. Enjoy!
