Wavy Lob
A lob is just as stylish and timeless as a bob but with a little more length. Maya Rudolph's is perfectly styled here.
Wavy Bob
You can never go wrong with a timeless bob haircut, and this one with its center part and face-framing waves is so chic. Much like her character from Emily in Paris, Lily Collins would fit right in in...well, Paris!
Wavy Shoulder-Length Haircut
Add just a little more length and you've got the perfect medium-length haircut, just like Meg Ryan's here. We'll have what she's having!
Wavy Ombré Haircut
Emma Stone's lightened lengths add even more interest to her wavy lob. The heavy bangs blended into her front layers are the cherry on top!
Bob with Subtle Waves
Margot Robbie's bob is proof that a little wave can go a long way. The deep part and subtle waves are such a stylish combination.
Long Wavy Haircut with Bangs
Long waves and a thick fringe just look so good on Zooey Deschanel, and they will on you, too! No matter how heavy your bangs are, you can always style them with a peek-a-boo middle to break up the look.
Wavy Long Layers
Say yes to long, wavy layers with a classic haircut like Ciara's. The subtle "money piece" highlights make this look even more stunning.
Wet-Look Waves
Once you have your perfect wavy haircut, it's time to try the wet-look trend. This works on hair of any length, but we especially love it on longer hair, like Sandra Bullock's. To get her style, smooth out your hair before adding a cream and serum blend, followed by a gel and oil blend, and then clip your hair to set it in place.
Glam Waves on Long Hair
We couldn't let this gallery go by without mentioning glam waves! In fact, we love them so much, we mentioned them three times, on every hair length. Chrissy Teigen's long haircut with a deep side part and old Hollywood waves tumbling down is just perfection!
Glam Waves on Medium-Length Hair
For glam waves with more everyday appeal, look to Eva Longoria's style here. She's still got the deep part but the waves are less dramatic for a look that can be dressed up or down.
Glam Waves on Short Hair
Viola Davis' glamorous wavy bob has plenty of retro appeal while still looking fresh and modern. We told you these waves look good at every length!
Wavy Pixie Cut
A wavy pixie cut is the epitome of effortlessly chic. Audrey Tautou is one of the best to ever pull off this style and such great inspiration for your next salon visit.
Wavy Mullet
Mullets are having a moment, and you (yes, you!) can be a part of it. Miley Cyrus brings rocker chic appeal to this look with long, brushed-forward bangs and choppy layers.
Wavy Pompadour
Pink put a fun twist on her signature smooth pompadour by curling the ends. It's a great way to style short hair for dressy occasions!
Wavy Medium Wolf Cut
A slightly longer version of the wolf cut, dubbed by stylists the medium wolf cut, features the choppy layers of a shag combined with the texture of a mullet. Doja Cat wears this edgy look with ease.
Wavy Chopped Bob
This spinoff of the wolf cut is a bob with a shaggy finish, connected layers, and a '70s curtain bang to tie the look together. Jenna Ortega is totally pulling it off, don't you think?
Bombshell Beachy Waves
Jennifer Coolidge always has glam style to spare, but that was especially true with this recent red carpet look featuring beachy waves that are teased at the front and back. Talk about a bombshell!
Finger Waves
Zendaya's 1920s-inspired finger waves and sleek low bun couldn't be more stunning. Get the look using a small tooth comb, a strong sculpting gel, and sectioning clips.
Mermaid Waves
If you love extra long hair, this is the look for you. Kate Hudson's mermaid waves fall at her waist and give feminine, free-spirited vibes.
Voluminous Waves with Baby Braids
Rihanna's waves have bedhead appeal, with plenty of volume and baby braids woven throughout for added style and interest.
