How to Care for Wavy Hair Naturally: Your Go-To Guide

Wavy hair often gets stuck in the middle, not quite curly, not quite straight and it needs a routine that’s tailored to its unique pattern. When cared for properly, waves can look effortlessly beachy, soft, and defined. And the good news? You can do it all naturally.

What makes wavy hair different?

Wavy hair typically falls into the 2A–2C range, with patterns ranging from loose bends to more defined S-shapes. It tends to be prone to frizz, can get weighed down easily, and thrives on balance, not too much moisture, not too little.

Key tips for caring for wavy hair naturally:

1. Avoid heavy silicones and waxes
   These can weigh waves down and cause build-up. 
2. Double cleanse
   Waves love volume, and that starts with a fresh scalp. Try double washing with a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo to remove build-up and bring bounce back.
3. Use lightweight hydration
   Wavy hair needs moisture to stay smooth but too much can cause limp strands. Our Voluminous Conditioner strikes the perfect balance with lightweight oils like avocado and argan oil.
4. Enhance texture with natural styling
   Sea salt sprays like our Voluminous Sea Salt Spray are perfect for enhancing your wave pattern without the crunch. Bonus: It doubles as a natural hair spray when heat is used to set.
5. Finish with a shine serum
   Our Shine & Moisture Hair Serum smooths flyaways and adds hydration without disrupting your natural wave.

Wavy hair doesn’t need complicated routines, it just needs the right balance of cleansing, moisture, and gentle styling. With a few well-chosen naturally focused products and techniques, your waves can look their best every day.
