Waving before tying is what makes this read differently from the straight version: the bends push volume outward so the tails sit fuller and shorter, hitting higher than their true length suggests. Curling away from the face on both sides keeps the shape symmetrical. A texture spray after the iron stops the waves dropping into limp bends. Slept in, the tails keep a usable wave for a second day.

Suitsoval, heart, oblong face shapes. The bulk of the wave sits at cheek and jaw level, adding horizontal weight where a long face needs it and filling out below a narrow chin.
Hair typemedium density, wavy, thick. Natural movement holds the S-bend far better than an iron set on pin-straight hair, which tends to drop out within a few hours.
UpkeepFifteen minutes with a wand, or an overnight braid set, plus a texture spray refresh if the waves flatten by evening.
Ask forAsk for loose S-waves set away from the face before the hair is divided and tied high on both sides.
