4-Step Wash Day Routine for Naturally Wavy Hair

Prepare to embark on an exciting journey of discovering and loving your waves with a simple, yet effective wash day. Your new wavy wash day routine is straightforward, easy, and boasts a set of product essentials to ensure those waves remain defined and hydrated. Keep reading for a step-by-step guide to your new look.

Step 1- Cleanse

All wash day routines start with cleansing the hair, the Essential Moisture Cleanser increases hydration by 87%, offers long lasting frizz control and is suitable for frequent washes. Shampoo twice with this sulfate-free cleanser to help remove dirt and build-up without stripping your hair of its natural moisture.

Pro Tip: Ensure you wet your strands thoroughly before applying your Shampoo. Then, work the blob of the product into your hands first before applying it to the scalp, as this will help with even distribution.

Step 2- Condition

Follow up with the Essential Moisture Conditioner which nourishes your strands and provides great slip. Apply the conditioner to sections of your hair, detangle it with a tool designed for wavy hair such as a wide toothed comb or detangling brush, let the conditioner sit for 1-2 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

Pro Tip: Concentrate on the lengths and ends when applying the conditioner, as it will naturally travel closer to the roots during the detangling process.

Step 3- Moisturise

Apply the Moisture Memory Reactivator as a leave-in conditioner to moisturize and prime your tresses before the styler. This versatile product also works as a refresher spray on non-wash days to keep those waves looking luscious for longer.

Top Tip: For precision of application, spray the product into your hands before applying it to your strands, and use the raking method to ensure all strands are coated.

Step 4- Styling

Section your hair and apply the Effortless Waves styling spray to define and enhance your natural waves while providing an invisible hold. Apply a few sprays per section, concentrating on the lengths and ends, then use the raking method to spread the styler throughout your tresses. To encourage a tighter wave pattern, follow the scrunching method. 

Top Tip: Keep a water mist on hand to rehydrate sections that start to dry out, ensuring even distribution of the styler for consistent results.

Final Touches

After applying the wavy products, follow the last few steps to finish your styling routine.

  • Check your waves for any wet frizz. If needed, rehydrate and add more Effortless Waves  to define your locks.
  • Use a microfiber towel to remove excess water; this will speed up the drying time and using the scrunching method while doing the will slao.
  • Air dry or diffuse your wavy hair based on your preference and schedule. Since wavy hair is the loosest curl type, diffusing is the best option to enhance your waves and add volume. However, if you prefer how your waves naturally fall, air drying can work beautifully. If you're short on time but still want the benefits of diffusing, you can partially dry your hair with the diffuser and let the rest air dry.

Top Tip: Understanding the outcome of the various diffusing techniques will help you achieve your preferred finished look.

Keep In Mind

If you use a diffuser to dry your waves, mist your strands with our Miracle Shield after applying the Moisture Memory Reactivator. This ultimate protection spray helps to protect against the harshest aggressors, such as:

  • Thermal heat
  • UV rays 
  • Chlorine
  • Sea salt
