Below is a guide to find out everything you need to know to better manage wavy hair and make it detangleable, soft and shiny.
Wavy hair can be a cross and a delight for those who have it by nature. They give the face femininity and softness, they give a glamorous look with any outfit and for any occasion, without having to resort to articulated hairstyles.
Sometimes, however, they can be unmanageable, unruly and appear untidy and unkempt if you don’t know how to handle them.
In reality, you just need to pay attention to a few tricks, to tame them and make the most of them.
Even the use of the right products, such as specific foams and creams for wavy hair, helps to make the waves more defined and the hair more composed. When used together with suitable brushes and diffuser, the result can be truly amazing!
Knowing what to do and how to best apply the products to take care of your unruly hair certainly offers an extra gear to live peacefully with wavy hair and avoid frequently resorting to hot tools.
So here are some tips and good habits to enhance your waves and always have tidy hair.
USE THE DIFFUSER
Although it may seem trivial, the diffuser is a candidate as the best friend of wavy hair.
The reason is simple, with its bell shape, it manages to spread heat evenly throughout the hair, lifting the hair from the root, thanks to the teeth with rounded tips, and returns a beach waves effect.
In other words, it will be like having perfectly wavy hair, as if it just came out of the sea, even in winter.
The result is guaranteed, even if it takes longer to dry your hair.
In fact, the heat is distributed more slowly than the direct jet of the hair dryer, precisely to guarantee softness and movement to the waves. Furthermore, this drying method also safeguards the health of the scalp, protecting it from direct heat on the skin.
USE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS
When the health and appearance of the hair is at stake, it’s no different than skin care: you need to use the right products.
It’s not enough to use the first shampoo you have on hand. If you want to enhance wavy hair, then you need to use suitable and specific conditioners, creams and shampoos for this type of hair.
WATCH OUT FOR HUMIDITY
Humidity, as we know, is not a great friend of this type of hair. It’s not just a matter of climate, which still tends to frizz and make hair swollen and unkempt, humidity is also a problem during the drying phase.
Before using the hairdryer, in fact, it is advisable to remove all excess humidity, perhaps by dabbing the hair with a microfibre cloth or a cotton towel. In this way, greater control will be obtained during the folding and styling phase and drying times will also be reduced, preserving the hair from prolonged contact with heat.
AVOID COMBS WITH WIDE TOOTH
Even if the trend is precisely to use a wide-toothed comb, the truth is that it should be avoided. This, in fact, does not untangle the knots in an ideal way and risks breaking the hair.
Better to try with your fingers, before resorting to a comb and, if the knots are really hostile, then it’s better to use a fine-toothed comb, starting from the tips and gradually getting to the root.
An operation that is certainly simpler and less painful if done with wet hair and perhaps after applying a suitable conditioner.
