From old-fashioned advice to social media trends, there are plenty of myths out there that can leave your waves looking less than their best.
It’s time to set the record straight!
Here are 4 wavy hair myths you can stop believing and what to do instead to keep your waves looking their best.
Washing daily can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle.
Most wavy-haired people do best washing 2-3 times a week.
Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo to avoid drying out your strands.
While they share similarities, wavy hair has its own needs.
Waves are often finer, get weighed down more easily and can lose shape quicker than curls.
That’s why using products made for waves (like Merwave!) makes a big difference.
If a little product is good, more must be better… right? Not quite.
Overloading your hair with product can leave it looking greasy, flat or crunchy.
Start with a small amount, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends, then build up if needed.
Remember when it comes to waves, less is often more.
While heat damage can’t be completely undone, you absolutely can restore strength, softness and bounce.
Regular deep conditioning, avoiding hot tools and trimming split ends all help.
But if your waves need extra TLC, Merwave’s Repair & Restore Plex Treatment is a game changer.
It works from within the hair shaft to repair broken bonds caused by heat, colour and chemical damage.
Leaving your waves stronger, smoother and more defined.
Use it weekly to revive tired, limp strands and bring your waves back to life
