Protein Leave-in Treatment
Protein Leave-in Treatment
Hair is made up of around 90% protein. Over time, that structure weakens, leading to breakage, frizz and loss of shape. This lightweight leave in treatment feeds your hair with the proteins it needs to stay strong, elastic and healthy. Waves feel more resilient, smoother and easier to manage, with less breakage and fewer split ends over time. 150ml

Customer Reviews
So lightweight and my curls have come back to life!
I never thought my curls were as real as they are. My hair is healthier and looks fuller and less frizzy. I love the tips from Abi as she updates us how to use each product in different seasons and different climates.
I cannot believe the difference in my hair since starting using Merwave. I have been straightening for a long time but I am now loving my waves ❤️
After years of struggling to find a wavy hair product that left my hair feeling amazing, I finally found Merwave. The products have helped enhance my natural curls without leaving them feeling like straw. Highly recommend Merwave!
