ISSUE: Styling Tips for Fine, Wavy Hair

February 24, 2010 | Curly Hair, Fine & Limp Hair, This Month's Hair Q&A's

Dear Philip,

I’m using the Russian Amber, Katira, Lightweight Deep Conditioning Creme and Lovin’ Leave-in and I’m very happy with the products. I’m adding more as I go along. My question concerns styling products. I have fine, curly/wavy hair and I need something that will give my waves definition without making them feel crisp. If I don’t use a styling product, I get overly-soft hair that either lies flat if I straighten it or just limps when I air dry. I’m wondering if I can use the styling gel for this and cocktail it with the leave-in to counter any stiffness. Any other suggestions are welcome!

You’ve described the challenge of fine, wavy hair perfectly: Without the right styling products, it can look puffy and undefined. Or flat and undefined. Either way, the trick is to keep the softness and touchability while creating definition and movement. So your instinct of cocktailing the Styling Gel and Lovin’ Leave-In Conditioner is right on. Comb the mixture through damp hair and shape the waves with your hands; once your hair is dry, run your fingers through it to create a sexy, casual pieciness.
