What does BW mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Body wave hairstyles involve curling or waving your hair to add volume and body to it. The curl pattern typically begins at the mid-shaft of the hair, creating gentle voluminous waves that frame the face and bring out your features.

To achieve a body wave hairstyle, you will need styling products such as mousse, hairspray and/or gel. You may also want to use a curling wand or hot rollers to set the curls into place.

No, body wave hairstyles can be achieved without any chemical treatments on your hair. This makes them an ideal choice for people who are looking for an easy to maintain style that won't damage their natural hair.

A properly set body wave should last between three to five days depending on how often you shampoo and condition your hair. To make it last longer, you can use dry shampoo in between washes and avoid using heat styling tools on your hair too often.

Typically it's best to get your body wave style done every four weeks or so as this allows enough time for new growth in between touch ups. If you have finer hair then you may opt for shorter intervals between appointments.
