How to prevent your waves from falling flat

Waves are delicate. If they’re not treated right, they lose their shape.

Below are our top tips for longer-lasting waves...

1. Use more gel

This will give your waves more hold to stay in place.

After applying it, make sure to scrunch your hair to define your waves.

Use just enough product to give your hair structure without weighing it down.

2. Use a diffuser on low heat

The diffuser spreads heat evenly, allowing your waves to dry in their natural shape without frizz.

Flip your head upside down and diffuse the roots for extra volume!

3. Don’t touch your hair until it’s completely dry

It can cause frizz. Even worse, it can break up the wave pattern you’re working so hard to set.

Leave your hair alone until it’s 100% dry to keep the wave definition intact.

4. Use our refresh spray

If your hair needs a mid-day refresh, try using our refresh spray.

It’s lightweight and non-sticky so won't make your hair greasy or weighed down.

Spray it on and gently scrunch your hair to bring back bounce and volume.
