Nicki’s empowering hair journey through menopause

"Wow! Your hair looks amazing, have you had it permed?"

“Ermm, no… these are my menopause waves!”

Nicki had always been envious of those with wavy hair, having spent years with poker straight hair. Wash, quick blow-dry, brush, and go- Straighteners were barely even needed. Until about a year ago, when she noticed something surprising: her hair was starting to wave at the back.

She decided to embrace the change instead of fighting it, "let’s go with it and see what happens," she thought.

“I tried a few hair products but quickly realised they were too heavy for my fine hair, leaving it feeling weighed down and lifeless.”

After speaking to a close friend—whose hair always looked fabulous— she was advised to try Merwave. Her friend had been using it for a while with great success. Having seen Merwave ads on social media, she was already familiar with the brand, so she decided to give it a try.

After her first wash, following all five steps of the Merwave routine, she was shocked. “My hair was full of waves- It didn’t feel heavy or greasy at all”. She couldn’t believe the transformation.

For someone who’s always dreamed of having wavy hair, this is a dream come true for Nicki. "Thank you, Merwave, for your lightweight, effective products—and thanks to menopause for making this possible!" she laughs.

Navigating the changes that come with menopause can be challenging, especially when it affects your hair. If you're looking to embrace your hair’s new texture, consider giving Merwave a try.

With gentle, lightweight formulas designed to enhance your natural waves, it’s about celebrating the beauty of change. Like Nicki, the correct hair products could help you feel empowered and confident during this transformative phase of life.
