For clumpy waves

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.

Love it

Immediately after first use I have such defined waves even by air drying. And when I put my hair up(which I do a lot) it looks so much nicer and fuller.
I'm sold and I am not sure if I will ever use another shampoo/hair routine again.

Excellent product

My hair has recently become more wavy underneath and so a little more difficult to keep straight due to being peri menopausal. I thought I’d give this a go to see if I could make something out of it. Turns out I have this lovely soft wave all over now. I haven’t even thought about blow drying my hair in the past month so it’s much quicker to manage when getting ready for work in the morning and is also healthier because I’m not blasting it with heat. My hair has gone from being quite flat to quite voluminous which was a bit strange to get used to but everyone has told me it looks great so I’m really happy with the product. I only bought steps 4 and 5. The foam has lasted about 4 weeks (that’s me using about 6 squirts every day) but the gel still has loads left, I’m thinking I should get a few months out of it, so fairly good value for money. My sides of my hair do tend to straighten out by the evening but that’s more because I’m moving my reading glasses up and down those parts of my hair all day at work. Maybe more gel would hold the wave but I’m not that bothered by it. I would def recommend.

Great products

I have used the 5 stage curly hair products now for 18 months
I love these products and having tried several others these have been the most beneficial
Although bit more expensive than high street products worth it and over the longer term have actually saved money
Would recommend

Best products ever

I am one of probably many who have done a comparison with another leading curly hair product company, following instructions to the letter.
First day of Merwave today and my curls and waves look so much more defined and healthy than the last 3 months of using the other brand. No frizz, not just waves around my face but a whole head of lovely waves. I’m just embracing them now and trying not to use heat on my hair anymore so will continue with Merwave.
