Waves (hairstyle)

Waves hairstyle is when someone styles their hair to look like small waves. Think of it like the waves you see in the ocean, but in someone's hair. To create waves, a person uses a special brush and sometimes a product called pomade. They brush their hair in a certain way to make the waves shape. This hairstyle became popular in the African American community in the 1920s and is still popular today. Some people wear waves as a way to express their style or as a cultural tradition.
