Stop making these 3 wavy hair mistakes

Wavy hair is delicate and prone to damage.

Dry brushing it creates friction, which pulls and stretches the hair strands.

This leads to split ends, breakages and frizz.

Your wave definition disappears, leaving a poofy, frizzy mess.

Instead, detangle in the shower when your hair is soaking wet and coated with conditioner.

Use a wide-tooth comb or tangle teaser to gently remove knots.

90% of bad hair days come from a lack of moisture.

Wavy hair craves moisture. 

Without it, cuticles dry out, becoming rough and raised.

This leads to frizz and lost wave definition.

For soft, defined waves, focus on hydration.

Use a deep conditioning mask weekly and choose a conditioner with glycerin.

Seal moisture with hair oil.

How you style your hair matters just as much as the products you use.

Here’s how to do it right:

Apply to wet hair:

Always use styling products on soaking wet hair. 

This ensures even coverage and allows every strand to be coated.

Scrunch for definition: 

Scrunching in your products is the best way to enhance your waves definition as it encourages your hair to form in its natural shape.

It also helps reduce frizz. 

Upside-down styling works wonders, watch how here.

Experiment with quantities:

Every head of hair is unique.

Adjust the amount of gel or mousse you use to find what works best for your waves.

Scrunch out the crunch:

Once your waves dry, break the crispy cast by clapping or scrunching.

Don’t stop at the cast—it’s not the final look! See how here.
