Make it last
- 01
Sleep on silk
A silk or satin pillowcase cuts friction, so a sleek finish stays sleek and waves keep their shape overnight.
- 02
Pin it up at night
Twist the lengths loosely on top of your head and secure with a soft scrunchie. Shake out in the morning for the bounce back.
- 03
Dry shampoo early
Apply at the roots on day two, before you think you need it, then brush through. It absorbs oil before it flattens the root.
- 04
Avoid steam
Shower cap on, bathroom door open. Humidity is what undoes a blow dry fastest, curls and waves included.
- 05
Hands off
Every touch moves oil from your fingers into the hair. Leave it alone and it stays fresh for longer.
