About Ashley

Ashley Brazil is a Salon Coordinator at RŌZ. She has fine 2A wavy hair, and she has shared her experience with her own hair with RŌZ Education in written Q&As for our curly and wavy hair guides. For years her hair looked very wavy when wet but dried straight-ish after brushing, and frizz in her fine hair was the clue that she had waves. She noticed her pattern getting wavier in her mid-twenties. Today she favors soft, long layers over blunt cuts that weigh her ends down, and she sleeps in a braid on a silk pillowcase to protect her hair overnight.

In Ashley's words

The best hair cuts for me are ones without sharp lines, and that offer some softness. Long layers to give my hair a little lift work well. Some past cuts were too blunt and weighed my ends down.

It was always very wavy while it was wet, but would dry straight-ish after brushing it. The presence of frizz in my fine hair was a good giveaway!

At night, I typically braid my hair to protect it when I sleep, as well as use a silk pillowcase.

My hair has actually gotten more wavy as I have gotten older, and I would say I really started noticing it in my mid-twenties.
