Over the Winter, I got very attached to my curling iron and now have some very dry, straw-like hair. Hoping to save my strands, I resolved to start air drying my hair for the Summer and embrace my naturally wavy texture.
If I air dry my hair without putting in any product, the result is usually a head of frizzy hair I can only describe as poofy, with some very undefined waves. I decided to turn to the Sephora Beauty Insider Community [1] to find a product that would enhance my texture, and stumbled upon some recommendations for the DevaCurl Wave Maker Touchable Texture Whip [2] ($26). The cream styler is designed to tame frizz and hold my curls, so I hoped it would solve my poofy-hair problems.
After I shower, I've been drying my hair with a towel [3], brushing out the tangles, and then working a dime-size amount of the product through my hair. Next, I either braid it until it dries, or scrunch my hair upwards with my hands. To my delight, the product doesn't leave my hair crunchy like other hair products I've used.
I've been getting a ton of compliments on my waves, and this process has even cut down on my morning routine now that I don't spend 20 minutes using my curling iron.
You can shop the product ahead, as well as some other wave enhancing products.
