New WAVE

At a time when salon trips feel like a luxury and reasons for getting a blowout are scant, Vancouver-born celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh thinks we’re going to see texture return in a big way. “We have a reset on this whole planet right now where basically everyone’s like, ‘Okay, what am I going to do with my hair?’” he says. Unsurprisingly, many of his clients have gone years—decades, even—without a break from colour treatments and hot tools. He’s observed that most people are at a loss when it comes to nursing their hair back to a state of vitality. “It’s an opportunity to really change your regimen at home,” he says. And the key to getting any wave or curl back into hair that’s been blown out for so long? “Hydration, moisture and good

products,” he says. “That’s going to make a big impact on the end result.”

1. FLEXIBLE DEFINITION

Goldwell has developed the STYLESIGN SOFT WAVER LIGHTWEIGHT WAVE FLUID ($13.25), a shine-enhancing serum that employs polymers and bamboo proteins to gently mould hair into smooth bends and play up

springy curls.

2. BOUNCE, NOT CRUNCH

Elasticity is crucial to achieving hair that moves without constraint. Wella Professionals EIMI NUTRICURLS CURL SHAPER ($20) is a gelcream that offers light hold and intensifies coils without

inhibiting bounce.

3. A HIT OF MOISTURE

For easy detangling, try a spritz of argan-oil- and amino-acid-based MOROCCANOIL ALLIN-ONE LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER ($32). It will strengthen and protect freshly washed hair as well as

smooth out dry ends.
