    If you have soft waves that are mostly straight, you can strengthen them by washing your hair less frequently. You should also avoid combing and brushing except with a fine-tooth comb. You can twist or clip it while it's wet to enhance the curls as well.

    Try applying a curl defining cream to keep the curls, and detangle by running your fingers through the hair instead of brushing.

    I had wavy hair, but I got a pixie cut and it turned pin straight even though my bangs are still as long as my hand from my wrist to tip of middle finger. What do I do to get my wavy hair back now?

    Just grow it out, your hair in a pixie wants to be straight. You can try scrunching with curl jelly with your hair upside down.
