Wavy hair: compare wave size and direction
The references span a collarbone wavy lob, long mermaid waves, long ash-blonde bends, brushed-back waves and surfer lengths on AI-generated portraits. They illustrate broad S-shaped bends rather than defined ringlets or tight coils. Length, wave size and finish vary across the examples, so selecting one changes more than texture alone. These portraits cannot measure your natural pattern or predict the result of products, heat styling or chemical treatments.

What to compare
Hold length steady to judge wave size
Begin with your existing length and compare shallow bends against more pronounced S waves. Look at the distance between visible turns and how far the hair curves outward. Save length changes for a separate trial so the wave pattern remains the main difference.
Choose where the bends begin
Specify a smoother upper section with waves beginning lower down, or movement closer to the roots. Long mermaid-style waves and loose end bends can have similar endpoints but different rhythms. Check the upper lengths as carefully as the tips.
Separate direction from surface finish
Brushed-back waves expose more of the front hairline, while surfer-inspired lengths can fall forward or sideways. Compare direction first, then request a smoother or more separated finish. Neither presentation identifies your natural texture or proves a particular styling method is necessary.
Describe your version
Loose waves at the current length
Add loose, broad S-shaped waves while keeping the existing hair length and original hair color. Use gentle bends through the middle lengths and ends with a relaxed finish. Avoid ringlets, tight coils and excessive root volume.Use this prompt
Short brushed-back waves
Create short wavy hair with a longer top brushed back, gentle visible S bends and softly controlled sides. Keep the wave pattern broad rather than tightly curled. Retain the original hair color and avoid a wet-look finish.Use this prompt
Questions before you try
Can this tell me whether my hair is naturally wavy?
No. A generated portrait illustrates a requested appearance; it does not measure or classify your natural hair pattern. Use it to explore visible bends, not to establish a hair diagnosis.
Would I need a perm to get these waves?
Not necessarily. Different hair and styling methods can produce different kinds of movement. The preview cannot determine which approach would work or predict chemical effects on your hair.
How do I try these waves?
Choose a template, description or reference image and upload your photo; sign-in and credits are required. You can compare and save results. Generation requires sign-in. One credit is used when at least one result is ready. If all results fail, the credit is returned so you can retry.
