Wavy hair products??

[yazzy85]

If you have naturally wavy hair what products do you use on it to style? I normally straighten but want to keep it natural for holiday.

I use a salt spray by Philip B (mauie waiu or something) to make the waves more bouncy and distinct. Also use a leave in conditioner spray to keep the ends moisturised and neat.

mowglik which leave in conditioner do you use??

[mowglik]

I use Loreal full restore conditioning spray it's the lightest leave in I've ever used but still very moisturising on my dry split ends

[mowglik]

It's really light so your hair will still be bouncy and make nice waves - only downside is it's not easily avail online for some reason so i recently stocked up on 2 from echemist I think when they had free shipping but couldn't find it on their website just now

Thank you mowglik I will try and get some to try out!

Hope you like it! I find keeping hair lightly moisturised and ends a bit more works well to keep ends from looking straggly

I've been trying to embrace my waves recently too, having gone from being more or less straight-with-a-kink to full-on big curls and waves. I don't understand what's happened, but as I get older my hair is really changing.

I've tried a million products. I seem to have stumbled on a combination that is helping tame the beast -

I use a smoothing spray first, then comb with a very wide tooth comb

The Tresemme Undone Sea Foam (I think that's what it's called) is pretty good - I scrunch it through and then leave to dry. I follow it up with a curl serum - Aussie do a nice one that makes my hair quite soft, and John Frieda have a two-phase purple-y one that you shake up and work in.

I also sometimes use a salt spray - either by Tigi or Aussie - these work best on second day hair I think.

It's trial and error really. Some days it looks great, others not so much.

I have v fine naturally wavy hair. The answer for holidays is not to style it!

Mine is cut into blunt layers which encourages it to curl - it it gets too long the weight straightens it.

Generally use any shampoo and conditioner marked fine hair and volume, avoid anything that says smooth or straight like the plague - generally one or other L'Oreal one.

I use a bit of oil/Frizz-Ease whatever.

Then leave it to dry naturally while intermittently running my hands through it and shaking it up - works brill on way to work where I dry it with the car heaters

That's it. Get a lot of curl and wave. Some days it looks great, others not so much, it's pretty random.

Thank you ladies for the tips!! I will try and keep it minimal and see what works best, I don't like the sticky hair feeling.
