Curl Type 2: Wavy Hair

Wavy hair (Type 2a to 2c) is often not recognized as a 'real curl type,' which leads to the use of inappropriate care and styling products. This can cause the hair to quickly lose its shape and fall flat. To prevent this, it’s important to know the right techniques and products that define your waves, reduce frizz, and are light enough not to weigh the hair down. With the right care, you can bring your waves into their best shape and prevent them from losing volume and structure. Here are the best tips for care and styling!

How to perfectly nourish & style your waves

Step 1: Gentle, Thorough Cleansing

Wavy hair tends to become greasy at the roots more quickly. Due to its looser texture, product residues can easily weigh the hair down and promote build-up. Use our sulfate-free* Deep Cleansing Shampoo, which cleanses thoroughly without drying out the hair. If needed, we recommend the 'Double Cleansing' method (washing twice in a row).

*free from SLES

Step 2: Apply a Weightless Conditioner

Waves need moisture, but too much care can weigh them down. Use a lightweight conditioner that detangles your waves perfectly without weighing them down. Our Weightless Detangling Conditioner is ideal for this.

Tip: Detangle your waves only when wet, using conditioner in your hair.

Step 3: Leave-In Conditioner for Definition

For wavy hair, styling is crucial for bounce and long-lasting hold. The leave-in is the first step in your styling routine and lays the foundation for your wave styling. Our Weightless Leave-In Conditioner not only helps gently detangle the hair but also defines each strand—without weighing them down.

Step 4: 2-Step Hold System

For maximum bounce, two coordinated curl gels are ideal for waves, perfectly setting the looser curl structure. Start with our Scrunching Gel and then apply the Strong Hold Gel.
