Not enough spirals to be curly, but not quite as poker-like as straight hair either? Congratulations on landing the hair lottery with a wavy mane. In this happy intersection between the two extreme ends of the spectrum, this hair type thrives with messy, got-out-of-bed waves that would take hours to perfect in a hairstylist’s chair otherwise. Ahead, we give you a lowdown on how to take care of your wavy locks—and what exactly to use in the process.
Start with frizz control
When shopping for haircare products online, the hunt unsurprisingly starts from finding the right duet of shampoo and conditioner for wavy hair. This is where frizz-control formulas come in, to leave your mane silky-soft after every single wash. The L'Oréal Paris Total Repair 5 shampoo and conditioner duo will be the strongest ally in your wavy haircare arsenal; and safeguard your tresses from frizz, breakage, dryness and split ends.

Detangle with care
The next station on the wavy hair express is a detangling agent for preventing frizz and knots from contributing to hair fall. Start by dividing your hair into sections and then reach for a wide-toothed comb to gently tease open the knots, without leaving any precious strands littered on the floor. If you are looking for a multipurpose hero when shopping for wavy haircare products, the Kevin Murphy Young Again Dry Conditioner is a hydrating conditioner spray as well as a detangler for instantly manageable hair.

Find the right leave-in conditioner
Wavy hair maintenance is incomplete until you find the right leave-in conditioner for an extra kick of moisture. The logic is simple: wavy hair that is prone to frizz tends to be dry. Leave-in conditioners can coat the hair with an extra layer of moisture to keep it manageable all day. For a leave-in treatment that will keep your mane smooth and blissfully devoid of frizz, all eyes can only be on Olaplex No. 6. Looking to shield your hair from harsh UV rays? The Milk Shake Leave-in Conditioner offers UV filters for added protection.

Finish off with a styling serum
To ensure that your hairstyle stays in place through the day, call upon a hair serum for wavy hair to serve as the final foil for your tresses. A lightweight serum can add just the right hint of shine to your look while also keeping frizz and flyaways at bay. For a hair serum that works as hard as you do, look to the L'Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil Serum. It can be used as a styling serum during the day, before pulling in a double shift later as an overnight hair treatment.

Schedule a weekly TLC session
It comes as little surprise that a champi session serves as a crucial cornerstone of every Indian household and every wavy hair routine. After all, a weekly hair oiling ritual can be a helpful way to restore lost moisture after prolonged periods spent in the sun. Massage in the Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil for 10 to 15 minutes to boost scalp health and leave your hair more lustrous than before. For some additional scalp-care, add the Minimalist Hair Growth Actives 18% Scalp Serum to your nighttime routine.
