Protein Leave-in Treatment
Protein Leave-in Treatment
Hair is made up of around 90% protein. Over time, that structure weakens, leading to breakage, frizz and loss of shape. This lightweight leave in treatment feeds your hair with the proteins it needs to stay strong, elastic and healthy. Waves feel more resilient, smoother and easier to manage, with less breakage and fewer split ends over time. 150ml

Customer Reviews
I have struggled with my hair for years always thinking it was just frizzy and unmanageable. I tried the curly method I had seen all over TikTok but it was too time consuming to fit into my routine and also I felt that none of the products really worked for my hair. I am so glad to have discovered Merwave as it has changed the game for me! My waves are now soft and defined like never before, and the routine is so quick and easy compared to others I have tried. I would definitely recommend to anyone with wavy hair!
While doom scrolling, I came across Merwave and decided to give it a try. I have to say, I was truly impressed. It did take some practice to figure out the right dampness for my hair and how much product to use, but the results were worth it. My favorite product is the refresh spray—it would be fantastic to have it available in a travel size. Just to add it holds well and when needed I use the refresh spray
It’s the best product I have ever used, and I have tried everything!!!!!!
Am very suprised this worked as well as it did as my hair never stays put with waves or curls when done with heat. I will have to work out how to use products with diffuser as i dont think i used enough as hair was a bit fluffy. Stays put though.
