Long lasting waves require a strong hold gel to ensure they stay clumped together, without that gunky, producty feel. This lightweight gel does just that.

Great Products

I’m fairly new to Merwave products. I love them. I’m still playing around with my “product recipe” and enjoying the results. Delivery time was good too.

Amazing wavy hair products

I've been using Merwave for a few years now and my waves continue to improve. The products are brilliant quality and reasonably priced. There is a great community of Merwavers who all offer tips and support to everyone on their wavy journey. I really rate the way the company constantly listens to their customers and continues to innovate and bring out new products. Their latest wave cream is now a firm part of my routine and I can go longer and longer between washes since this. Highly recommend.

Super products for wavy/ curly hair.

So glad I found Merwave. After years of straightening my hair, I have finally decided to embrace my natural wave/ curl. Merwave products have enhanced this transition and their advice is second to none. Very helpful customer service. Highly recommend these products and please support a small British company.
