I too am blessed/cursed with "the wave"
When it's been really long, it looks exactly like a spiral perm (or so I've been told) and many times being mistaken for a laydee (head down on work counter!) finally turned to dreads. Had to get rid of them though eventually.

I keep it short, but have a funny shaped head, so couldn't get away with the full monty.
