"I have a new found confidence in my appearance" - Catherine Morris, aged 51

For 30 years, Catherine struggled with her hair.

"I dreamt of having waves. But even a perm in my teenage years dropped out on the first wash! I rarely straightened it as a quick blow dry was all it needed to stay poker straight.”

But deep down Catherine longed for beach waves. Anything to give her hair some movement. 

“I wanted my hair to do something other than hang there”, she expressed.

As Catherine entered her 30s, she started to experiment. Creating waves with heating tongs and curling irons for special occasions. Despite the damage this causes.

Then six months ago everything changed…

“My hair had somehow become wavy!”, she exclaimed.

Puzzled and unsure how to handle her new texture, she rushed to her hairdresser for answers. There she discovered the imbalance of hormones can alter the shape of hair follicles. Which may cause straight hair to become wavy or curly. 

It's why women going through the menopause struggle with frizzy, unmanageable hair. A sign their once poker straight hair is now wavy!

Without hesitation, her stylist recommended trying the Merwave Wavy Hair Kit.

"I wasn't expecting much. But took a ‘before’ photo without knowing what the changes would be."

Yet the transformation shocked her. Catherine couldn't believe how the kits lightweight productscreated gentle waves.

"Discovering Merwave has changed my life!" she shared. "The natural beach wave look is so different from how I’ve looked for over 50 years."

Merwave didn’t just transform her hair, it helped her reconnect with herself...

“Taking time to learn what my hair needs as I age has been a huge learning curve. My wash day routine is now part of my self-care. It’s taught me to take time for myself—and I’m loving it!"
