What defines Wavy quiff?
A wavy quiff lifts the front away from the forehead while letting the wave turn through the top. The high point sits near the front hairline.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Check how wide the lifted front appears. In profile, see whether the height drops gradually toward the crown and how much wave remains behind the ear.
What to confirm with your stylist
Show how high you want the front on a normal day and ask how your natural wave sits when the hair is left to dry.
