Your wavy hair is gorgeous and really suits your style, and sounds very low-maintenance. You could exaggerate the asymmetry even more if you want it to be really obvious (although it is quite obvious already), or maybe you could try some unexpected bits of colour if you're bored?</p> <p>I don't know if you find this to be true for yourself, but I have noticed that for me, as I get older, letting my hair be wavy (or even almost curly, if the weather is humid) is far more flattering for my face. It seems like less intervention is generally better, although I'm not totally sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653559 Sun, 01 May 2016 22:26:13 +0000 Janet 1653559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin, I'm in NYC in the financial district. In town for the 5 Boro Bike Tour, which was today. That building is right outside my hotel room window! I've taken a bunch of photos of it.;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653557 Sun, 01 May 2016 22:18:08 +0000 RobinF 1653557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have gone through a similar change, about 2 years ago decided to stop straightening and let it curl naturally, some days are more successful than others. I think you look great. You get a pretty good curl without much product, my head would be a fall of frizz. And I love that building behind you, where the heck is that?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653490 Sun, 01 May 2016 19:26:59 +0000 Jeanie 1653490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're hair is absolutely gorgeous! I understand your plight, though. &nbsp;I have waves like you and would die for straight, shiny hair but usually just let it air dry because it just can't stand up to heat every day. &nbsp;And I'm lazy about hair styling. &nbsp;I like the idea of adding product to define the waves. &nbsp;I think it might be fun to add color to the ends or on a few waves here and there. &nbsp;You could try some choppy or angled bangs but I would buy some clip in bangs and experiment first. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653467 Sun, 01 May 2016 18:11:04 +0000 Janet 1653467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BrieN, I wouldn't let the wedding stop me from changing my hair. It wouldn't be anything so extreme that it wouldn't be appropriate. Besides, my stepson and his fiancé are artists too, so there will be lots of eclectic style at the wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653462 Sun, 01 May 2016 17:20:58 +0000 Suz 1653462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous hair, beautiful scarf, and hey -- is that my jacket??

Maybe I have just been having a crisis of confidence when it comes to my hair. I like the idea of keeping the asymmetry and playing it up a bit more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653230 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 23:34:01 +0000 Greyscale 1653230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Rock n roll" is also the first phrase I think of for your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653229 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 23:24:15 +0000 Roxanna 1653229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such a strong jawline - so beautiful, and you can carry so many cuts!<br />I have curly hair, and I have an asymmetric bob that's much shorter (chin length on one side.) I have grown to love it because it adds an edgy element to my otherwise modern classic style. Would you ever consider it? It would look stunning on you (though I like the waves now, too!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653209 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 20:36:04 +0000 texstyle 1653209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just throw a black vest over your boho outfits and you can leave your beautiful hair as it is ;-). -- didn't Una just get a cool black vest for her 80's party? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653202 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 19:56:01 +0000 CocoLion 1653202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would die for hair like yours. &nbsp;Seriously, it looks perfect to me. &nbsp;It really suits your face. &nbsp;Edge can be added with clothing and accessories. &nbsp;Your hair looks like a curlier version of Patti Smith circa 1970s, that's a high compliment coming from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653198 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 19:47:48 +0000 LilMrsNomad 1653198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks stunning as is!

In fact, when I'm trying to achieve a little rock and roll, I play up my waves with lots of volume, keeping it a bit messy. &nbsp;Maybe twist back a small section of hair to show off cool earrings. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653174 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 18:22:16 +0000 annagybe 1653174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said.<br /> My color experiment turned out to be more difficult to deal with than expected. I will not repeat. Given what I've seen around Seattle, I'm going to try &amp; get the shorter side shorter. Also depending on cowlick layered bangs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653157 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 17:59:07 +0000 catgirl 1653157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, your hair is fantastic in this picture! I think a little artful streak of turquoise or another of your signature colors would look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653135 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 17:01:08 +0000 rachylou 1653135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wavy is great. I agree, exaggerate the assymetry even more and keep it wavy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653131 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:56:46 +0000 Aida 1653131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks really good with this cut! As Angie said, you'd need to exaggerate the asymmetry with waves. I feel you on how it can be a bit difficult to get "edge" or toughness from waves (even harder with curls!) in the way we think of how that can be done with straight hair since it's inherently soft (unless you do something more extreme). Instead I try to think more in terms of how natural, undone, or chaotic a cut will appear, and how that will effect my look. This "artfully, naturally undone" vibe suits your style well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653125 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:46:55 +0000 Sheila 1653125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Vix's idea of amping up the tousled aspect with more product. Try it, maybe just for fun. But I also endorse the blow-drying of your bangs, which is what I do...and let the rest air-dry. Then add product as needed for more excitement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653118 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 16:28:16 +0000 Vix 1653118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Janet --</p> <p>Granted edge is not my thing but I say it ain't broke, so don't fix it!&nbsp;</p> <p>I know you're trying to offset years of heat damage and it looks like it's paying off -- your hair looks very shiny and healthy here.</p> <p>Others have already mentioned the fact that rock star hair can mean a less controlled, more bedhead/undone, look. </p> <p>If you want to push that more I'd be tempted to experiment with product that amp up the touseled vs the cut. Wavy hair takes well to looking more wild! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653084 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 14:44:06 +0000 Angie 1653084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the current cut in the wavy hair. Let the length grow longer, accentuate the wave with product, exaggerate the asymmetry in the cut, and keep the lines sharp around the face.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653051 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 14:14:05 +0000 Bonnie 1653051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks so good this way and it sounds easy to care for. Any changes you make might involve a lot of product and effort. I know that having the same hairstyle everyday can be a bit boring, but if you are ready for a change, go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653043 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 14:04:38 +0000 BrieN 1653043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I'm not a "hair person" so I don't have any haircut advice but I had to comment on how incredible your whole look is in this photo. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653013 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 13:29:08 +0000 Mochi 1653013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hair is more coarse, wiry and full-on curl than wavy, but in the spirit of working with our hair's curl AND not letting the curl completely boss us around, I'll be avidly following this discussion. I really like your hair wavy. I adore Angie's hair with the current natural wave. And that first inspiration pic Una posted re the coloring--it made me pine for soft, voluminous, shiny hair with nice waves that could lap up color and actually let you SEE it : ) Mine gets lost in all the curliness going on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653010 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 13:17:01 +0000 Anonymous 1653010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, doing anything to that hair would be like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa.&nbsp; That is some seriously gorgeous hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653005 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 13:04:19 +0000 Janet 1653005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Momo! It's so hard to be objective with oneself, you know? Sometimes I think my hair looks good for my style, and other times I think that sleek, straight hair would look so much more "rock'n'roll." But maybe I already have a good thing going, as you indicate. Thanks for the perspective. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-edge-to-wavy-hair#post-1653002 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 13:00:46 +0000 Momo 1653002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not full of ideas. Sorry !<br /> But I really like you wavy hair. I have actually thought before that it has a nice sort of rock and roll look to it , artfully undone kind of thing.<br /> And that scarf is so beautiful. </p>
