WAVE REBONDING HAIR GUIDE

WAVE REBONDING METHOD : AWESOME LOOK OF YOUR WAVE HAIR

QASIM NASEER

Many people think that wavy and curly hair are the same thing, but they're not. Don't get us wrong; they're both beautiful! But waves have different needs than curls, which is why a different hair routine is essential. If you have wavy hair and have started the Curly Girl Method, you may not get the best results. That's because your hair needs different products and techniques! Wondering which ones? In this article, we'll tell you all about the Wavy Girl Method.

WHAT IS THE WAVE REBONDING GIRL METHOD?

The Curly Girl Method is a hair routine for curls, and wave rebonding is for people with waves.

The basic principles of the wave rebonding method are as follows:

• Try co-washing; if it doesn't work for your locks, use a sulfate-free shampoo

• Avoid sulfates unless you are using them to clarify

• Avoid silicones

• Use products that are lightweight and weightless

• Minimal heat styling tools, such as a hairdryer or straightener

• And no chemical relaxers

THE DIFFERENCES WITH THE CURLY GIRL METHOD

Wavy hair has different needs than curly hair, so it's essential to have a different routine. These differences are mainly related to the natural oils that the scalp produces and how easily they can travel down the lengths of our strands. This takes longer with curls than with straight hair. So for Wavies, who have fewer curls than Curlies, it's easier for those oils to moisturize the hair from root to tip naturally. That's why as a Wavy girl, you can achieve better results with the Wavy Girl Method than with the Curly Girl Method.

There are many similarities between the CG Method and the Wavy Girl Method, though. For example, both recommend the following: sulfate-free shampoos or co-washing, silicone-free conditioners, no heat styling tools (such as a flat iron or curling iron), and no chemical relaxers. But there are also many differences! We'll list them below.

YOU CAN BRUSH WAVE HAIR

When starting the Curly Girl Method, it's recommended to throw away your hairbrush. This is different when following the Wavy Girl Method: wavy hair can be brushed without significant risk of breakage. Indeed, people with wavy hair types 2a and 2b can brush their hair. You can use a Tangle Teezer or Denman Brush. Always do this before applying the conditioner, or else you'll probably comb out your waves.

CO-WASHING MAY NOT WORK

The Curly Girl Method recommends no longer wash your hair with shampoo but starts co-washing. It's a great way to preserve moisture, but this isn't always the best choice for wavy hair. You may experience build-up over time as your sebum plus the ingredients of your co-wash add up. In general, if you have thick or coarse hair, you can try co-washing, but it probably isn't a good idea if you have fine or thin hair. Especially in the summer months, this can lead to limp, lifeless, weighed-down hair. Then it's better to opt for a sulfate-free shampoo or a low-poo. Want to try co-washing? Choose a conditioner that you can also use as a 'normal' conditioner, just in case. Or go for a consistent washday rotation by doing a co-wash after two low-poos.

WAVIES CAN USE SULFATES (I MODERATION)

Sulfates are banned within the Curly Girl Method. These are ingredients that are often added to shampoo. They ensure that your shampoo will foam nicely after contact with water. That foaming effect not only gives you a nice clean feeling in the shower but also helps remove dirt, oil, and dead skin from your scalp and hair. But that cleansing effect is too intense for your scalp and hair. Sulfates cleanse your hair so well that they strip your hair of not only dirt, oil, and dead skin but also of the natural oils on your scalp. And these oils provide hydration to the hair. Still, some people with wavy hairdos need this to remove build-up from their hair from time to time. Try to do it as little as possible, for example, once a month.
