• Silhouette: broken by gentle curves every few strands.
• Waves: loose S-lines instead of straight falls.
• Degree: keep it subtle and relaxed, not curly.

The nose is small and subtle, the lips are fuller, and the upper lashes are drawn with a thicker, cleaner line.

With this medium-wavy the medium weight and soft medium volume interact with the female head shape: keep the hairline softer and lower and let the wavy fringe do the framing work.
