No, wavy hair is not straight.
Wavy hair and straight hair are distinct hair types with differing characteristics. While straight hair lies flat and smooth without any bends or curves, wavy hair displays a pattern of curves or "S" shapes.
Here's a breakdown of the key differences:
- Straight Hair: Air dries completely straight. No curves or bends are present. Requires no styling products to maintain a straight appearance.
- Wavy Hair: Air dries with bends and curves. May appear straight in some sections but will not lie completely flat. Often requires products or styling to enhance or define the waves, or to straighten.
Think of it this way: if your hair naturally forms an "S" shape or any kind of wave pattern as it dries, it's not straight. Straight hair doesn't do that. You can sometimes get straight hair from using heat-based hair tools.
