How to Style Wavy Hair, According to Pro Hairstylists

Wavy hair is a beautiful hair type that offers the best of both worlds, it's not too curly, not too straight, and it's full of volume and texture. However, styling wavy hair can sometimes be tricky. You might find yourself battling frizz, uneven waves, or limp strands that just won’t cooperate. Luckily, with the right tips and products, you can make the most of your natural waves and look fabulous every day. Let’s explore some easy, Pro hair stylist approved tips to style your wavy hair!
 

1. Start with the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

The foundation for great wavy hair starts in the shower. Using the right shampoo and conditioner is essential for enhancing and maintaining your waves. Look for products that are specifically formulated for wavy or curly hair. They help define your waves and keep them looking their best.

One of our favourite options is the 100% natural shampoo from MaGéAu Naturel. It's gentle on the hair and scalp, free from harsh chemicals, and perfect for enhancing those natural waves. Follow it up with MaGéAu Naturel’s Conditioner, which is packed with natural ingredients to moisturise and nourish your hair without weighing it down. This duo helps to keep your waves bouncy and defined.

2. Dry Your Hair with Care

How you dry your hair can make a big difference in how your waves turn out. After washing your hair, avoid rubbing it with a regular towel, which can cause frizz. Instead, gently squeeze out the excess water using a microfiber towel or even an old T-shirt. These materials are softer on your hair and help to reduce frizz.

Next, let your hair air-dry as much as possible. If you’re in a hurry, use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment. A diffuser spreads the airflow evenly, helping to maintain the natural wave pattern without causing frizz. Simply flip your head upside down and gently scrunch your hair while diffusing. This technique will enhance your waves and give them a nice bounce.

3. Use a Lightweight Styling Product

The key to great waves is finding the right styling product. You don’t want anything too heavy, as this can weigh down your hair and make it look flat. Instead, opt for a lightweight product that enhances your natural wave pattern. A leave-in conditioner or a curl-enhancing mousse works well. Apply the product to damp hair, distributing it evenly from the roots to the ends.

If you prefer a more natural approach, try using a small amount of MaGéAu Naturel Conditioner as a leave-in treatment. This product is light enough to give your waves definition without making your hair feel greasy. Just apply a small amount to your palms, rub them together, and scrunch it into your damp hair.

4. Embrace the Power of Scrunching

Scrunching is a game-changer for wavy hair. It’s a simple technique that involves gathering sections of your hair in your hands and scrunching them upwards towards your scalp. This motion helps to define your natural waves and gives them a bouncy, full look.

After applying your styling product, scrunch your hair gently while it’s still damp. You can continue to scrunch occasionally as your hair dries to encourage the waves to form. Remember, the key is to be gentle—don’t pull or tug at your hair, as this can cause frizz and breakage.

5. Avoid Brushing Your Hair When It's Dry

One common mistake many people make with wavy hair is brushing it when it's dry. This can disrupt the wave pattern and create frizz, leaving your hair looking messy instead of stylish. Instead of brushing, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle your hair while it’s still wet. This way, you maintain the natural wave pattern without causing unnecessary frizz.

If you do need to touch up your hair throughout the day, use your fingers to gently reshape your waves. You can also spritz a bit of water or a lightweight curl refresher spray to revive your waves if they start to look flat or frizzy.

6. Love Your Natural Waves

One of the best pieces of advice from pro hairstylists is to embrace and love your natural waves. Every head of hair is unique, and your waves are a beautiful part of your identity. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles and products to find what works best for you. With the right care and attention, you can enjoy gorgeous, effortless waves every day.

Using 100% natural products like the Shampoo and Conditioner from MaGéAu Naturel helps to keep your hair healthy, nourished, and vibrant. Free from harsh chemicals, these products enhance your natural wave pattern while providing the essential moisture and care your hair needs.
