Learn from common wavy hair care errors
Over-Brushing
Brushing wavy hair when dry causes frizz and breaks up wave pattern. Only brush when wet with conditioner.
Heavy Products
Using products meant for curly hair weighs waves down, making them look greasy and losing definition.
Rough Drying
Vigorous towel drying creates frizz and disrupts wave formation. Use microfiber towel and scrunch gently.
Over-Washing
Washing too frequently strips natural oils. Wavy hair often looks best 2-3 days after washing.
