First two pictures were taken about two minutes apart, both in front of the window in two different rooms, with the artificial lights off, and white walls. Third was in artificial bathroom lighting with no window. fourth in front of window with artificial lights off, and last one in the garden center of a grocery store with natural sky lights.

I am either called blondie or redhead regularly, and occasionally even brown. The term strawberry blond has little meaning to most people, and they only hear the word blond which just confuses them more. Shoutout to the fellow fence sitters in here.

My hair is typically considered straight, I haven’t had someone say otherwise. Underneath the top layer of my hair though, it’s very wavy. I forgot to rinse the conditioner out today, and let it air dry like usually, and the waves are a lot more dramatic, as seen in the pictures.

Has anyone with hair like this figured out how to get the top layers to match the waves underneath? The hair underneath has much more defined waves, while the rest is flat.

Also, does anyone know what hair type this is or why this happens? I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips!
