Embrace Your Waves: Easy Steps to Gorgeous Hair

Is your hair not quite straight, but not fully curly either?

That means you’ve got beautiful wavy hair! The first step to caring for it properly is understanding your waves - their texture, pattern, and what makes them unique!

As a result of its loose pattern,  wavy hair often feels flat at the roots. You might also have perfect waves one day and the next it’s almost straight. Don’t panic! With the right products, you can add volume and shape to your hair and get bouncy and shiny results every day. The secret to achieving this goal is a balanced routine with light-weight products that won’t weigh your hair down!

Bouncy Waves Start in the shower 

The key to defined and bouncy waves is gentle cleansing combined with lightweight moisturizing products.

• Fine hair: Go for a low-lather shampoo and a light conditioner.

• Medium / Thick hair: Choose richer, more hydrating formulas. 

⭐Extra Care Tip: Give your hair a weekly treat with the CurlyEllie Intensive Treatment Hair Mask, which provides deep hydration and a silky slip that helps prevent tangles. It also strengthens the hair thanks to its protein-rich formula. Your waves will be happier than ever! 

Styling your Waves: Must-Have Products & Techniques 

For wavy hair, lightweight styling products are your BFF! 

Start with a light cream that moisturizes and detangles, like the Flora & Curl Rose Water Detangling Lotion for fine hair or the Ecoslay Rice Pudding Leave-In Conditioner for medium to thick hair.

Lock in that  moisture with a light hydrating foam that adds volume and fights frizz. Use the Flora & Curl Sweet Hibiscus Curl Volumizing Foam or the CurlyEllie Flexible Hold Styling Foam for medium hold.

⭐For stronger hold: Apply a lightweight gel, like the Bounce Curl Light Creme Gel, which helps define and hold your hair’s shape while strengthening it and keeping it bouncy due to its protein-rich composition.

Nighttime Haircare and Accessories: Your Secret Weapons! 

Need a little lift at the roots? Try our favourite Bounce Curl Volume Root Clips before drying your hair to add a bouncy boost to your waves. 

How you treat your hair at night affects how it looks in the morning! Swap your cotton pillowcase for a satin one or use a satin bonnet. This helps reduce friction from cotton fabrics and keeps your style looking fresh for longer.

Need a morning refresh? Lightly mist your hair (or just the sections that need it), add a touch of foam along the lengths and scrunch it up! Now you’re ready to take on the day with bouncy, defined and shiny hair! 

With a little love and care, your wavy hair will look and feel absolutely gorgeous. Treat it well - you deserve it! ❤️
