“I had a baby and my hair got even wavier”

Brittany always knew her hair was different.

Brittany always knew her hair was different. Not in a bad way, just… not quite one thing or the other.

She was told she had beautiful hair. Great colour. Interesting texture. But no one ever explained what that actually meant…

“Interesting” or hard to manage?

Growing up, Brittany didn’t do much with her hair.

She thought it was frizzy. A bit unruly. Something that didn’t need much effort, or maybe wasn’t worth the effort.

“I just thought it was frizzy and unruly.”

As she got older, the texture became more obvious.

More wave. More movement. More unpredictability.

But without knowing how to work with it, she did what most people do.

She fought it.

The routine that took hours

At one point, her routine became intense.

Daily washing. Blow drying. Straightening.

All just to try and keep it under control. “ I had to get up 2 hours before work just to fight with my hair.”

There would always be pieces that refused to stay straight.

“That always frustrated and annoyed me.”

Looking back now, those were the signs.

“I’d shampoo, condition, blowdry, and then flat iron it - which would easily take an hour and a half. But even after all of that, I would always have a bit of wave here and there, which always frustrated and annoyed me.

“I was told I have dual texture hair, a bit of wave but mostly straight. But in fact I had wavy hair but I was straightening it too much and making it flat.”

Lightbulb moment.

When did you realise your hair was wavy?

Living abroad changed everything…

“It was when I had lived in the Caribbean for a couple of years, then coming back into a colder climate that I realised.”

Surrounded by heat, humidity, and the sea, Brittany stopped trying to control her hair so much. And something different happened.

“I was really getting the beachy waves that everyone had talked about. I thought it was just my hair responding to the humidity and heat.”

At first, she thought it was just the climate. But when she returned to the UK, the texture was still there.

“Living there totally changed my hair and then I had a baby last year and my hair got even wavier.”

Tell us about your first time using Merwave…

“The routine was approachable, and for somebody who’s really busy I really want to spend like 10 mins on my hair. And the products, having them all lined up in numbers, has made it really helpful to just move through and style it and go.”

“I’ve been using [the products] for 6-8 months now. I noticed immediately that my hair responded so well. I initially started on the protein feed and the wave cream. But now I’m including all of the products in my routine.”

Instead of working around her hair, she could finally work with it.

One word before Merwave, one word now

Before: Difficult

Now: Lovely

Brittany’s advice to you…

"I would absolutely recommend Merwave to anyone to try, even if you think you have curly hair and not wavy hair. At least try the products and see how you respond."

"It’s honestly changed my relationship with my hair and really made me love that feature of me now."

5 signs your hair is secretly wavy…

Sign 1: Hair's wavy when wet, but dries straight

Hair shows natural waves when wet. Drying disrupts the pattern - leaving puffiness instead of soft, defined waves.

Sign 2: Heat styling never lasts

You curl it, it drops. You straighten it, it bends - your natural wave won’t hold either.

Sign 3: Your ‘frizz’ feels uncontrollable

Not random frizz - your wave pattern separating, not clumping. That’s why smoothing products never really fix it.

Sign 4: Your hair never looks ‘finished’

You wash and dry… but it lacks shape or polish. Never sleek, never defined, always needing more.

Sign 5: Your ends puff or flick out

Flatter at the roots, uneven through the lengths. Ends flick, curl, or puff depending on humidity.

You don't have frizz. You have waves.

Straightening, brushing and everyday drying break apart your natural wave pattern.
So instead of waves... you see frizz.

The fix? A simple 15-minute routine using lightweight products designed for waves.
The Merwave Wavy Hair Kit works with your natural pattern, transforming frizz into soft, defined, beach waves.
