waviness/unruly wavy hair
Explanation:
“Uneri” means undulation (a wave-like motion) from the word “onda” which means “wave” in Portuguese, Italian and Spanish.

Many women have a natural waviness or natural wave which they’d like to tame. (Sometimes waviness is not a desirable quality with hair.)

Some women like wavy hair, so to make it into a negative, "unruly" can be added as in the example from a website that I have put in below.
