Lurker Q: Wavy Hair

[mrslch]

Hi Ladies.  Lurker here with a question.  I had stick straight very fine hair my whole life until I got pregnant.  I've recently had my second baby and my hair is super wavy now.  I like to air dry my hair, but I have no idea what type of product to use.  If I don't use anything, I get a big mess of poofy frizzy hair .  Should I try a salt spray or some sort of mousse?  I'm clueless.

I really like John Frieda air dry waves. It's like a mousse, but not quite.

unfortunately you're just going to have to try things (and return as needed!) until you find exactly what works for your type of hair - nothing works exactly the same on any two heads of hair

The most important thing is to start from the beginning: shampoo and conditioner. It really sets the tone for everything else and makes a big difference. Right now I like Thermafuse and switch between moisturizing and volumizing ones (it's also good to switch it up periodically in general).

And I like this duo:


Ideally you'd be able to talk to someone at a salon or store (I like Ed Wyse, although I can get a discount through a friend, but I think they often have great advice).

I have wavy hair and use Living Proof no frizz shampoo/ conditioner. I recently got a sample of Bumble & Bumble curl style primer. I've been scrunching that into wet hair and it works well. I also like Deva Curl styling cream but not coconut styler, which I think is for truly curly hair. Deva just came out with a new shampoo/ conditioner specifically for waves which I want to try. Oh snd also, don't use normal towels on your hair or it will frizz. I use a microfiber one and have also heard a t-shirt works.

I just started using Bumble and Bumble new Surf Infusion Spray along with the Don't Blow creme ( which I still blow dry) and invisible hairdressers oil. this combo works great on my hair making my curls super soft and with volume..then after I blow dry I use kenra texture taffy to hold
