How does the weather affect wavy hair?

Protecting your wavy hair from seasonal changes is crucial. 

Without the right care, your hair can suffer. 

Here are some of the ways that the weather can affect wavy hair...

1. Lack of moisture

Summer and winter can both dry out your waves.

In summer, the sun pulls moisture from your hair, leaving it frazzled.

In winter, cold winds make your hair brittle.

That's why hydration is key all year round.

Solution: Use a deep conditioning mask and a hydrating conditioner to lock in moisture.

2. Extra frizz

Humidity and wind can cause frizz and knots.

Wind, especially, tangles your hair and disrupts your definition.

Solution: Use a lightweight gel to seal in moisture and maintain hold.

Layer your products for better protection and wave definition.

This keeps frizz at bay and prepares your hair for windy days.

3. Tangles and knots

Strong winds can turn your waves into a tangled mess.

Single strands knots are common in wavy hair and can be easily missed if you’re not detangling well and windy weather can cause further issues.

Left unchecked, these knots can damage your hair.

Solution: Detangle your hair when wet and use moisturising products with a great slip so your comb glides through.

Once knot-free, your hair is less prone to further tangling.

4. Heat damage

The sun can damage your hair, just like hot tools.

UV exposure makes your hair dry, dull, and weak.

Solution: Use deep conditioning masks regularly to replenish moisture.

Hair treatments can help rebuild broken bonds in your hair structure damaged by heat. 

Protective hairstyles shield your hair and scalp from UV rays. Think of it like sunscreen for your waves.

At Merwave, our 5 step wave kit works together to fight frizz and keep your hair defined.
