Q&A for How to Care for Wavy Hair

If you have really wavy, thick hair, and are still having troubles managing it, one possible solution is a keratin treatment. These are straightening services that can minimize some of the frizziness.

I’m between 2A and 2B. What I do is brush my hair before my shower. I shampoo my scalp/roots area and use conditioner on the hair from my ears to tops, and don’t put it on my scalp. I rinse, then lightly dry my hair with a towel. I let my hair air dry without touching it or lying on it, and when it’s just a little damp, I braid it and sleep. In the morning, I take it out slowly.

Yes, but don't use too much or it will weigh down your hair and make it lose its volume. Also, using too much will make your hair look greasy.

Herbal Essences and Alberto Balsam are great brands. Alberto Balsam has a sunkissed raspberry shampoo that's perfect for your hair type!

Yes, it is. My favorites are Herbal Essences and Alberto Balsam. I also suggest you air dry your hair and avoid using heat protectant. Doing this made my hair completely straight and it took 4 months to return to its original shape.

I have wavy-ish hair and I like Pantene Pro-V and various shampoo and conditioner sets from Garnier.

Use a wet brush or a tangle teaser. Wet brushing does not cause damage if your hair is wet, unless your hair is straight.

Start with a wide-toothed comb, then use a detangling brush. Understanding your hair's porosity is also important.

It's best to avoid combing your hair in the shower. Instead, try using a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for curly hair when you're out of the shower. Applying a leave-in conditioner can work wonders, and jojoba or tea-tree oil may also be beneficial for your hair.

Sometimes just a little water can help. Dampen your hands and run your fingers through your hair. Sometimes that works.

Using a curling spray can help. Spray it into your hand to control the amount, then comb it through your hair for better results.

Elvive oil is a good choice. Wash your hair once a week, refreshing it as needed.

Avoid dry-brushing your hair, and refresh it when needed. Try using gels or curl creams while your hair is wet.

You can use a detangler before brushing. Brush it in the shower with care, or dampen your hair before brushing.

If you want straight hair ,you can use relaxer. But it burns. Or if you want Afro, first spray with water, then spray with conditioner and stress it. Stay strong and confident.

After washing and conditioning, scrunch a gel or other product with hold into your hair. Scrunch from the bottom toward the scalp, this will encourage the waves, air dry or diffuse. Try to avoid daily washing and use a curl refresher on 2nd or 3rd day hair. There are commercial refreshers or you can make your own. I put water in a spray bottle and add a small amount of conditioner and styling gel, then spray and scrunch, let air dry.

Squeeze about a quarter-sized circle into your hand, then scrub that into your roots. Use a little less conditioner.
