Abi Reid, founder/creator of Merwave hair care and wavy hair tells us how to keep wavy locks frizz-free and silky on the big day.
"In the weeks leading up to your wedding, I’d recommend using the Merwave Wavy Hair Kit consistently to properly hydrate your hair and build soft, defined waves from the start. The kit is designed specifically for wavy texture (which behaves very differently to curly hair), so you get hold without heaviness and moisture without greasiness, exactly what you need for a summer wedding where warmth, humidity and long days can challenge even the best styles.
"Frizz in warm or humid weather usually happens because the hair cuticle is dry or slightly damaged, allowing moisture in the air to swell each strand. Merwave’s formulas focus on strengthening and smoothing that cuticle while adding lightweight definition. Ingredients like Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) and Glycerin help keep hair hydrated and flexible, while conditioning agents smooth the surface of the hair to reduce puffiness and flyaways.
"The Wave Cream enhances your natural wave pattern using nourishing oils and flaxseed extract, while the styling products create a soft, flexible cast around each wave. This helps lock in shape and protect against summer humidity, without leaving hair crunchy or stiff. Using the full routine for a few weeks before your big day allows your hair to become healthier, more balanced, and easier to style, meaning your waves hold better and frizz becomes far less of an issue.
"On the day itself, style as normal with the Merwave Wavy Hair Kit, then keep the Anti-Frizz Hair Perfume in your bag to spot-treat any flyaways throughout the day. A few spritzes will smooth frizz, refresh your waves, and leave your hair smelling incredible too, perfect for hugs, photos, and dancing into the evening.
"The goal isn’t to fight your natural texture, it’s to support it. With the right prep and lightweight products, your waves can look soft, silky, and effortless from ceremony to last dance!"
The Merwave Wavy Hair Starter Kit costs, £50, products worth £85, available from selected outlets and at merwave.co.uk.
