wavy strands of the world, listen closely: maintaining your natural wave pattern so your hair always looks healthy and bouncy isn’t as hard as it sounds. to take care of your luscious strands, there are a few wavy hair tips to live by. first, it’s all about the right routine. then come the right products. fortunately, we have a lineup of many wave-loving formulas that won’t weigh your strands down.

let's start with the basics.

must-dos for your wavy haircare routine

defining wavy hair and keeping those waves healthy start with a few key habits to add to your wavy hair routine.

step 1: moisturize

for fresh waves that hold their natural curl pattern, make sure you’re always keeping your hair hydrated. moisturizing wavy hair with products like hair oilsand leave-in conditioners will prevent waves from drying and flattening out.

don’t weigh hair down

to help waves hold their shape, be sure not to weigh them down with overly heavy products. adding too much product or applying a heavy formula will drag at strands, which can make them lose their wave.

style gently

when it’s time to style, your waves won’t need too much to keep them healthy and bouncy. detangle before you heat style and brush with a wide-tooth comb. when your hair is dry, avoid brushing to keep your waves intact.

the perfect wavy hair routine starts with lightweight, hydrating products that can better define and maintain waves. here's where to start.
