Yes, you need to wash your waves. But you want to make sure that you’re not washing your hair too often because shampoos wash out the essentials oils your body creates. Always moisturize immediately after washing. Pro-tip: Try brushing your hair in the shower when it’s softest and easiest to tame.
Why does my hair curl when wet but dries straight?
Your hair has been chemically treated (bleach, color, highlights/lowlights, chemical straightening, relaxing, smoothing) in the past which has disrupted your genetic hair clumping or waving patterns. As a result, the waves may only appear when your hair is wet and hair reverts to its natural patterns.
