| > Her long blond waxy hair blew in the wind. Same question as GP - how can you tell if that was meant to be waxy or wavy? |
| |
| ▲ | IshKebab 3 days ago | parent [-] | | From the context. Long hair blowing in the wind is a description of beautiful hair. Wavy hair is beautiful; waxy hair is not. This is very obvious to most people. | | |
