HOW TO CARE FOR WAVY HAIR

Now you’ve got the wavy hair style down, it’s time to think about maintenance. After all, caring for wavy hair is important to make sure those curls last. So, how do you make sure your hair stays in top shape?

There are 2 common issues we face with wavy hair – frizz and making sure the curls last. The good news is, we know the solution to both – moisture. Moisture is crucial for waves that hold and don’t succumb to frizz.

Maintain a good moisture balance with our Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo and Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner. For a deeply nourishing treat in just 3 minutes, follow up with our 3 Minute Miracle Moisture Deep Treatment. If your hair’s still suffering from frizz, our Calm the Frizz collection will help you regain control. Infused with Hemp Seed Extract, this collection refreshes your hair and leaves it beautifully smooth and nourished, not frizzy.

Want to upgrade from wavy hair to curly hair? We’ve put together a few more tips on how to care for curly hair to help.
