Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best hair care routine for naturally wavy hair?
Key steps for a complete routine:
1. Gentle shampoo (sulfate-free)
Gently cleanses without damaging, balances scalp and ends, preserves natural moisture.
2. Moisturizing conditioner
On lengths and ends, to nourish and facilitate detangling with a light texture to avoid weighing it down.
3. Mask or deep treatment (1 to 2 times per month)
To repair, deeply hydrate. Ingredients like avocado oil, coconut oil, honey, or plant proteins rhyme well with definition and shine.
4. Leave-in treatment
Helps prolong hydration, protect and detangle waves. Ideally applied to damp hair.
5. Styling product (light gel, cream, spray)
To define, hold without weighing down, and prevent frizz. Natural gels or jellies are perfect for structuring without stiffening.
6. Seal with a light oil (a few drops)
Jojoba, avocado, coconut, or pequi can be great for controlling frizz, adding shine, and sealing in moisture (just a touch on damp hair).
7. Gentle drying
→ Gentle method : wring with a cotton or microfiber t-shirt (stops friction, keeps waves intact).
→ Diffuse if needed for volume, upside down, medium temperature setting, to avoid frizz.
Protective accessories and gestures
- Sleep with a satin pillowcase or bonnet to preserve waves.
- Spiral or satin elastics to prevent breakage.
What care do you need to hydrate, define and protect wavy hair?
Hydration : gentle shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave-in.
Definition : light gel or styling cream, scrunching, diffusion or natural drying.
Protection : oil sealing, satin accessories, gentle drying, gentle refreshing, regular trimming (every ~6 months to remove damaged ends).
What is the difference between a wavy hair routine and a routine for curly or frizzy hair?
Wavy (2A–2C) :
Lightweight products, a natural wavy look, avoid the "cardboard" effect. We favor fine textures and sufficient hydration without overloading.
Curly/frizzy (3, 4) :
Hair is often drier and requires more nutrition. A richer routine often includes pre-poo, butters, and more styling techniques (twist-outs, coco-wash, etc.).
How to adapt your hair routine to waves to avoid frizz and dry ends?
- Avoid harsh shampooing: adjust the frequency according to your scalp
- Emphasize the conditioner and mask to moisturize, especially if the ends are dry. Remember to apply from the bottom to the ends, not on the roots.
- Seal with a light oil to prevent frizz while maintaining movement.
- Gentle drying, scrunching at the end of the routine to define without creating a "cold straw", and protect at night.
- Trim damaged ends regularly (about every 6 months) to keep hair healthy.
