Shelly's wavy hair routine
"I was forever a straight-haired girl. I straightened my hair for 42 years!
Until I realised my hair was secretly wavy.
After trying countless brands and combinations, I finally found my perfect match: Merwave.
Here's what works wonders for my thick hair...
Step 1:
Wash my hair with steps 1 & 2.
I do all the next steps with my head upside down!
I try really hard to touch my hair as little as possible. Less touching = less frizz for me.
Step 2:
While my hair is dripping wet, I use a pound coin-sized amount of Step 3 and rake it through.
Step 3:
Lately I’ve started using the Wave Cream next.
It makes my hair so soft but doesn’t hold the waves as tight.
Step 4:
add 6–7 pumps of the Foam and rake it through.
Step 5:
I squeeze out extra water with a microfibre towel.
Step 6:
I comb through with a wide-tooth comb.
Step 7:
I use a pound coin size amount of 5, and with praying hands, apply to hair.
Gently scrunch and listen for the squelch.
Step 8:
Using my large diffuser attachment, I start by drying lightly without touching my hair.
Then I switch to pixie diffusing in large sections until my hair is 70% dry.
Step 9:
I stand up, rub my scalp and roots to break up clumps and let it air dry while I get ready.
Later I finish diffusing until it’s fully dry.
Step 10:
To finish, I rub a tiny bit of hair oil in my hands and scrunch it through to release the waves".
