About This Article
To accentuate your wavy hair, be gentle while washing it and try a hair product or 2. After you wash your hair, soak up excess water by patting and scrunching it with a towel, instead of rubbing it, since this can make your hair frizzy. Consider only brushing your hair before washing it, since brushing can pull waves out of your hair. While it’s drying, wrap strands around your fingers and twist them, which will help your hair stay wavy. Try adding a small amount of mousse or a hair serum, like argan oil, to help maintain your waves. Dry shampoo also helps to hold the shape and volume of your hair. For more tips from our Beauty co-author, including how to diffuse your wavy hair with a hairdryer, read on!
