Daily Hydration & Shine Routine | Wavey Department

💧 Step 1: Hydrate

Lightly mist your hair with warm water to soften strands and open the hair cuticle for deeper moisture absorption.

Warm water helps prepare your hair for what’s coming next — the moisturizer. It makes every product that follows more effective.

🔹 Pro Tip: Use a spray bottle with distilled or filtered water for the cleanest hydration possible.


🧴 Step 2: Moisturize

Once your hair is damp, it’s time to feed it.
Apply Wavey Department’s Tropical Island Moisturizer evenly through your hair, then brush in your natural 360 pattern.

Our unique blend of mango, cocoa, and shea butters provides deep conditioning, while avocado and castor oils nourish, strengthen, and add shine.
This step ensures your hair stays hydrated from root to tip, without heavy buildup.

💬 Wavey Tip: Use a medium boar bristle brush while applying to evenly distribute moisture and train your pattern.

🧈 Step 3: Seal

Hydration means nothing if you don’t lock it in.
After moisturizing, use Tropical Island Butter to seal the moisture into your strands.
Rub a dime-sized amount between your palms, smooth over your hair, and brush again for even coverage.

This butter blend creates a barrier that traps hydration while keeping your waves soft, shiny, and frizz-free.

Pro Tip: Focus on your crown area — that’s where dryness hits first.


🩶 Step 4: Protect

To maintain your progress, apply your silky Wavey Department Durag or Wave Cap overnight.
This compression keeps your hair laid, preserves shine, and prevents moisture loss while you sleep.

If you prefer extra compression, layer a wave cap under your durag.

🌙 Bonus: Sleeping on a satin pillowcase can help your durag glide smoothly and reduce friction.

 

🌟 Pro Tips for Maximum Shine

  • Consistency is key. Repeat this routine daily or as needed depending on your hair’s dryness level.

  • Don’t over-moisturize. Your hair should feel hydrated, not greasy.

  • Stay natural. Avoid heavy petroleum-based products that can clog pores and flatten your progress.

  • Brush regularly. The more you brush with proper technique, the deeper your wave definition becomes.
