I know first hand what bed head waves can look like and they are not exactly ‘effortless’. The easiest way to enhance your natural waves while still keeping that ‘au natural’ vibe is by using proper styling tools. A simple heat protectant spray followed by a waving wand can add that missing touch to your locks. A 1.5 inch curling iron is the perfect tool if you want to add even more curl to your waves. The messier the curl the more your natural wave will shine through. Styling tools are overall a great addition for 2a hair due to the inconsistent bends and curls.
The biggest mistake that you can make with type 2a hair is weighing it down with product to deflate your natural wave texture and body. It is crucial that you find the right products for your hair to enhance your natural volume. The most important products to keep in your shower are clean shampoo and conditioner with frizz free volume quality. A light defining gel can also be a great addition to your hair care routine to tame the frizz and prevent that extra weight.
Out of all hair types one thing is for sure, curly or wavy hair can be unpredictable so it is important to know exactly your type and products that work best for your hair.
