How To Use Effortless Waves on Fine, Damaged Hair

How To Use Effortless Waves on Fine, Damaged Hair
4 Steps to Washing Fine & Damaged Waves
Whether you choose to air dry or diffuse comes down to personal preference. However, damaged waves are looser than when your waves are in good condition. Therefore, diffusing will be more effective in encouraging a tighter wave pattern. There are various ways to diffuse wavy hair; hover drying and pixie diffusing combination provides the best results.

4 Steps to Washing Fine & Damaged Waves
Our Curlsmith four-step method is the perfect guide to washing wavy hair. Don't worry about figuring out what products are needed; we have you covered. Answer a few questions on our curl quiz. This will identify your wave type and characteristics to receive personalised recommendations for damaged hair to assist with your new wavy wash day routine.
Step 1- Wash
Cleanse your tresses with our Core Strength shampoo, designed to gently remove dirt and build-up without stripping the natural oils. This protein-enriched shampoo contributes to strengthening your locks every wash day.
Step 2- Condition
Using a conditioner on your waves such as our Multitasking Conditioner, will help to strengthen and moisturise. This 3-in-1 multi-purpose cream is a rinse-out, deep conditioner, or leave-in moisturiser. It's enriched with protein at a low dosage, so there's no need to worry about protein overload.
Step 3- Moisturise
No need to rinse the conditioner from your hair in the previous step, as it will serve as our leave-in conditioner. This will assist with strengthening your waves, detangling, and priming your tresses ready for the styler.
Step- 4 Style
Our newest styler, Effortless Waves, is suitable for all types of waves, textures, and porosities. It belongs to Moisture Recipe; the key ingredients include;
- A vegetable active made from Chia seeds and Linseeds known to reduce frizz, moisturise and define without that crunchy feeling.
- Squeezed Aloe juice for ultimate nourishment and moisture.
Many of our wavy friends will love the results from this hair styling product, so let's discuss how to apply styling products in the correct way to achieve the best results.
- Section your wavy hair and spray the product throughout your mid-lengths and ends.
- Use the raking method to work the product through evenly and encourage clumps.
- Follow with the scrunching method to enhance and promote a tighter wave pattern.
- Repeat on each section until you have coated all your tresses.
Because your strands are fine and damaged, we advised that you layer with a styler that contains protein and adds more hold. All Curlsmith stylers display a hold bar which indicates the level of hold, 1 being a light hold, and 10 being a stronghold.
Our Aqua Shape Up Gel has a lightweight jelly consistency with a hold level of 5. to offer flexible definition and volume for all curls. It's enriched with protein at a low dosage to avoid protein overload. Once you have applied a small amount to the palms of your hands, apply to each section of hair using the scrunching method.
How to Dry Fine Damaged Waves
Whether you choose to air dry or diffuse comes down to personal preference. However, damaged waves are looser than when your waves are in good condition. Therefore, diffusing will be more effective in encouraging a tighter wave pattern. There are various ways to diffuse wavy hair; hover drying and pixie diffusing combination provides the best results.
In some instances, using heat may cause more damage. However, using a dryer specifically designed for waves, such as our Difrizzion Dryer XXL Diffuser, and applying a heat protector, such as our Miracle Shield, will protect those waves.
Once your tresses are 100% dry, there will be a slight cast from the gel; use an oil such as our Bonding Oil to scrunch the crunch and reveal soft, bouncy waves.
