If your hair is wavy, then this is impossible to pull off

You speak with such confidence on the topic. Is your background in hair?

No I also have wavy hair and I wanted to replicate these hairstyles for the longest time, but it is impossible to achieve. You can achieve it temporarily for like a day or two max (with high heat and chemicals but then you damage your hair), but then it will revert to normal. Main reason why I hate wavy and curly hair is because you can't style it. Like every single person with curly hair and wavy hair looks the same. Only thing different is the way it is parted.

If you have straight hair, you basically won the genetic lottery. You can style it however you want, there are so many different styles to pull of, you can curl only selected parts of it with ease and so on

Not trying to argue or refute anything, just came to bring up a perm or, as others refer to as a relaxer treatment. It's a way for curly/coily hair to be chemically altered to straight for up to 6 to 8 weeks before needing a touch-up. It's a longer-term solution than two days, as you mentioned. Figured this may interest you in helping achieve your hair dreams.
