Your hair and scalp routine

Assembled from our guides for the answers you gave. Adjust the answers below at any time — nothing is stored.

Your routine

  • Hair: Wavy (2A, 2B, 2C)
  • Concern: nothing in particular
  • Habits: none ticked
  1. Washing

    • Wash as often as your scalp needs; many people with waves find every few days works, but oiliness is the best guide. — Wavy hair
  2. Conditioning & detangling

    • Condition the mid-lengths and ends; a light leave-in can help waves form without weighing them down. — Wavy hair
  3. Styling & protection

    • Scrunch in a light curl product on wet hair and dry with a diffuser on low heat, or let it dry with minimal touching. — Wavy hair
  4. Night-time

    • A loose plait or loose high ponytail with a soft tie helps waves survive the night. — Wavy hair
