Haircare tips: 9 ways to get wavy hair, maintain bounce and shine

Opt for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo that cleanses without stripping your hair of natural oils, keeping waves soft and bouncy

Deep condition your hair once a week to keep it hydrated and smooth. Use a moisturising conditioner to maintain wave definition

 Excessive heat can damage waves. Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser attachment if you blow-dry to avoid frizz

After washing, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair gently. This helps preserve your natural waves and minimises breakage

Apply a wave or curl cream to damp hair to improve wave definition and reduce frizz for a smoother, more polished look

Use a silk or satin pillowcase or a loose braid to minimise frizz and breakage while sleeping, keeping your waves intact

 Washing your hair too frequently can dry out your waves. Aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week to maintain moisture

A leave-in conditioner can keep hair hydrated and defined, reducing frizz and maintaining soft, manageable waves

Regular trims are essential to prevent split ends and maintain healthy, wavy hair. Get a trim every 6-8 weeks
