  • Rinse your hair with cool water to close the hair cuticle and maintain the wave pattern.

  • Wash your hair 1–2 times a week to keep the natural oils that define your waves.

Deep conditioning treatments will keep your waves hydrated and soft. Use a deep conditioner once a week and also a leave-in conditioner from time to time so that dryness and brittleness can be avoided altogether.

• • Gently scrunch your hair using a microfiber towel right after washing it. Take out excess water from the hair and air dry. Avoid rubbing, as this may cause frizz.

  • If you do want to blow dry, use a diffuser attachment to really enhance your waves without letting them lose shape, but on low heat.

• • Apply a curl cream or mousse for naturally wavy hair to damp hair in order to outline the waves.

  • Avoid using heavy creams and gels. They will make your hair flat, weighing it down.

  • Always use hot tools at a low temperature and never without a heat protectant to prevent damage.

  • Renew your waves by taking a large-barrel curling iron or wand on low heat. Take small sections, and wrap them around the barrel in the direction of your natural wave so it doesn't look unnatural.
