The style also adapts itself to different types of wavy hair. Whether your hair is frizzy and voluminous or flat and loose, you can work with your hair type to create a sensational shag.

Lynchian Locks

Acclaimed filmmaker and artist David Lynch is mainly known for two things: his surreal movies and his hair. It’s rare to see Lynch without his extra wavy brushed-back look which has become one of his trademarks.

Lynch’s hair is characterized by loose waviness and a healthy amount of volume. The top is roughly 4-5 inches long, and the sides are kept thicker (though Lynch is sometimes seen with a shorter fade).

Depending on which specific look you’re going for, you can either comb the front upward into a laid-back quiff or brush it in more of a side part style.

Wavy Mullet

Like the shag, the mullet is a retro look that’s made a big comeback. This short version of a mullet makes full use of wavy hair and makes for a casual yet surprisingly versatile result.

Long on the top and thick on the sides, this mullet is more about the business in the front than it is about the party in the back. (Since the hair in the back only reaches 1 or 2 inches past the ear).

Of course, you can also opt for longer hair in the back if you want a more classic mullet style. That said, a short mullet is a good choice if you want an 80s vibe with a contemporary touch.

Which Wavy Style Will You Rock?

Wavy hair can’t be treated like any other hair type, and a good wavy hairstyle will take the waviness into account instead of trying to force the hair to do something it doesn’t want to do.

The wavier your hair is, the more important it is to choose a hairstyle that’s specifically suited for wavy hair. Of course, you could just get a buzz cut and call it a day, but why not show off your waves?
