Do people still get "body waves"?

I'm thinking that I want some waves in my hair, but don't have the time to spend with the curling iron every mornnig before work.

I straighten my hair every day after I blow dry it. If I let it air dry, it will get very limp waves - it's not something that I could do every day to wear out in public or to work. LOL.

Is there something my hair girl can do to give me waves? I don't want like poodle curls or a perm - just looking for soft-ish waves without having to use a lot of product. (my hair is fine to begin with)

Re: Do people still get "body waves"?

Yes they call them texture waves now or texture services.
I haven't had it done because I highlight and my hair is super fragile so I dont' want to do 2 chemical processes.
But they use a larger roller so it's not like an old school perm where you'd be getting tight, poodle curls.
I really want to do it but I just can't risk damage at this point.
But my hair is super fine, super flat, and lacks structure to hold a style so this would actually be perfect for me.

I'm in the same boat with the super fine, fragile, over-processed hair. Chat Icon

I just want a change!!

Talk to your stylist.
The chemicals they use in body waves have also come a long way and they do make some gentler ones for fragile hair or hair that has been colored.
It's worth a conversation at least.
