Hair Care Routine for Wavy Hair

Wavy hair is a beautiful hair texture that falls between straight and curly hair types. It is defined as having an “S” pattern and can be styled in a variety of finishes. While frizz and lack of definition tend to be your biggest challenges, with a bit of effort in either direction you can easily enjoy defined waves or a smooth and sleek finish. Here, we discuss the best hair care routine for wavy hair.

Perfect, undone, waves have been and continue to be one of the top trends each year, but as anyone with wavy hair knows, sometimes it’s hard to get naturally wavy hair texture to behave. The key is consistent hair care coupled with targeted hair products to enhance your finish.

Just like any hair pattern, wavy hair comes in an assortment of finishes. You can have tighter waves closer to curls or loose wavy texture resembling straighter hair patterns. To define your hair routine you’ll want to address both the health of your wave type and find styling techniques that work to create the finished look you’re after.

Due to the fact that wavy hair can lack definition, it tends to look frizzy very quickly. For this reason, adding hydrating products should be a normal part of your hair care routine for wavy hair. A hydrating shampoo and conditioner like HYDRATE-ME.WASH + RINSE are ideal to improve moisture balance to combat frizz and restore your natural wave definition.

Alternatively, if you have a thicker hair type and need a smoothing effect, reach for SMOOTH.AGAIN WASH + RINSE to tame unruly hair with strength, smoothness and shine!

Wavy hair types tend to lay straight at the root area — which can tend to look flat. To amp up body and create a more voluminous finish when heat styling, We love using BODY.BUILDER for smooth finishes and ANTI.GRAVITY when more texture is desired.

Short hair types tend to show oil or product buildup quicker, so you can find yourself shampooing more frequently. For this reason, a great daily shampoo like BALANCING.WASH works well to strengthen and moisturise your hair while removing buildup and setting the stage for a flawless finish.

Short hair types need more styling than medium-length or long hair. For this reason, you can find yourself blow-drying regularly or touching up with a flat or curling iron daily. To keep your shape and cut down on breakage, incorporate BLOW.DRY WASH + RINSE and HEATED.DEFENSE each time you heat style.

BLOW.DRY WASH + RINSE is formulated to repair and nourish your hair and add protection against heat damage*. *When used as part of the BLOW.DRY REGIMEN. While HEATED.DEFENSE is a foaming leave-in treatment that protects your hair against heat damage up to 232˚C / 450˚F with a weightless shield that can be used on all hair types and styles.
