Laughing Scholar: My Current Favorite Products for my Wavy Hair! +Tutorial!

I have been embracing my wavy hair for a number of years. During that time I have tried a number of various products, techniques and hair cuts to enhance my shy waves.

I think I have finally found an easy and effective system that works for me:

I wash & condition my hair; even if I use a co-wash product, such as the one I have from DevaCurl, I'll use a mask just for the added moisturizing benefits.

I make sure to comb my hair in the shower; once I get out, its a few finger combs with products, and then no touchy!

I personally love a really good turban wrap for hair. It coaxes my wet hair to form beautiful waves while keeping it from dripping everywhere. I have to make sure that my hair doesn't get too dry or else products don't work very well.

Here are the products I use:

- Curl Keeper Total Control for Frizzy Hair Original: I love this stuff! Wow. Okay, so I gently apply this product to my hair as though it were conditioner. This is the first thing I apply to my hair once I take the towel wrap off.

- Roux Anti-Aging Hair Serum Leave-in Treatment: I like how this product adds volume to my hair at the roots. It also helps my hair appear brighter and healthier. I add this second, massaging it into my scalp and the roots of the hair

- Davines Replumping Hair Filler Superactive: This stuff is seriously my best friend. I separate hair into two sections: one over each shoulder. Then I apply 2-3 sprays of product per side. Finally, I gently tousle my hair to encourage the waves.

- Then I allow my hair to air dry!

- Parlor by Jeff Chastain Moisturizing Sea Salt Spray: I add this after my hair is dry just to rejuvenate the waves, add a little volume, and finish the look!

Care & Maintenance:

- I put my hair into a half-pulled through ponytail bun when I go to bed. This keeps my waves from flattening out while I sleep. It also means that my hair is sometimes wavier on day #2!

- I have an empty sample size of the Davines SuperActive bottle that I've filled with water to evenly wet my hair the next morning and reactivate my waves.

- I sometimes use dry shampoo, but with this much product in my hair already, it usually just makes my scalp itch.

- I play around with different styles on days 1 & 2: headbands, pulling half my hair back in a clip, or putting hair in a high, scrunched ponytail are all fun ways of making my hair look last longer!
