One of the challenges of the in-between wavy hair type is it typically doesn\u2019t get as much shine as straight hair. \u201cShine is created by reflection of light,\u201d Dear explains. \u201cWhen there is a bend in the hair it breaks up the reflection or the \u2018shine band.\u2019 Adding an all-natural oil can help reflect light, creating shine for wavy hair.\u201d The Prose hair oil<\/a> is perfect for this. In addition to adding mirror-like shine, it\u2019s chock full of a blend of sustainable oils<\/a> to nourish strands, including grapeseed, shea, rosehip, rice bran, cucumber and babassu oils, to name a few. The multitasker also smooths frizz and safeguards strands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To work your waves, it\u2019s all about embracing your natural texture. \u201cUtilize a product to give grip and movement to the hair without weighing it down, like a paste or a volumizing tonic,\u201d Dear says. The\u00a0 Prose curl cream<\/a> will do the trick. The styler works to define the wave or curl pattern while infusing hair with hydration and fighting frizz. To style, Dear says, \u201cScrunch the hair by placing the palm vertical and parallel to the face, helping support the \u2018S\u2019 pattern in the waves or twist drying the hair in large sections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowing which products to skip is just as important as using the right ones. \u201cAvoid products that contain salt, which will cause dehydration, and silicones<\/a> and parabens that will coat the hair, weighing it down, and not allow active ingredients to penetrate the shaft,\u201d Dear says. In fact, the most common mistakes people make when it comes to wavy hair is getting the wrong cut and the wrong product usage. \u201cThese are the two most crucial decisions made with wavy hair,\u201d Dear says.\u00a0\u201cGo to a stylist that understands natural movement and knows how to cut on the \u2018bend of the curl\u2019 and get the right products\u00a0 to support your hair\u2019s \u2018S\u2019 pattern and not weigh it down.\u201d\u00a0At night, Dear recommends sleeping on a silk pillowcase<\/a> with dry hair to protect the texture. <\/p>\n\nWavy hair products to avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
