Hair structure
Care for your waves.
- Hair strength
- Hair density
- Porosity
- Hair condition
Your hair structure is not everything
Even two people with wavy hair can need completely different routines.
Hair strength. Fine hair can feel weighed down more quickly than stronger hair.
Hair density. Depending on how dense your hair is, the amount of product you need changes.
Porosity. It describes how your hair fibre deals with water and care.
Hair condition. Colouring, heat, mechanical stress or dry lengths can change what your hair needs.
Do not work with a fixed amount. Start with a little product and watch how your hair reacts.

How to use Afrolocke on wavy hair
- Schritt 01
Cleanse
Apply shampoo to hair and scalp, massage in gently and rinse thoroughly.
- Schritt 02
Condition
Apply conditioner to the lengths. If needed, detangle carefully with your fingers or a wide tooth comb while it works, then rinse thoroughly.
- Schritt 03
Dose the leave-in
Work the leave-in into damp hair. If your hair is weighed down easily, start with a small amount and add more only if needed.
- Schritt 04
Define your waves
Work the styling gel into damp hair. Then scrunch the waves from the bottom up and let them dry in the air or with a diffuser.
- Schritt 05
Finish if needed
Use a few drops of hair oil on the ends or as a finish. Use it sparingly on fine hair or hair that is weighed down easily.

How porous is your hair?
Your porosity helps you judge the amount and the order of your products.
Low porosity
Your hair absorbs products slowly and is weighed down quickly.
Unsere EmpfehlungApply the leave-in to very wet hair and start with small amounts.
Medium porosity
Moisture is absorbed and held well.
Unsere EmpfehlungWork the leave-in and gel evenly into damp hair.
High porosity
Your hair takes in moisture quickly but also loses it faster.
Unsere EmpfehlungBe a little more generous with the leave-in and add hair oil to your routine.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will my wavy hair be weighed down by the products?
That depends mainly on the amount. Start with a little product, watch how your hair reacts and add more only afterwards.
Do I really need all five products?
No. You do not have to use every product at every wash. Your hair decides which combination fits right now.
Where is the best place to start?
With Curl Essentials: shampoo, conditioner and leave-in. That is the basis for cleansing, care and moisture.

Do you know your porosity?
Your hair structure is not the only thing that decides your care. Just as important is how your hair absorbs and holds products and moisture.
Low porosity
Water takes longer to get into the hair. Products can build up on the surface more quickly.
Deine StrategieMore water. Less product. Layer lightly.
Medium porosity
Your hair takes in water and care in a fairly balanced way.
Deine StrategieCare in balance and dose by how your hair feels.
High porosity
Water is absorbed quickly but often lost more quickly too.
Deine StrategieLayer moisture. Care for the lengths. Add hair oil if needed.
Still unsure?
Watch your hair after washing:
- How quickly does it get wet?
- How quickly does it dry?
- Do products sit on the hair or are they absorbed quickly?
How your hair feels and how it reacts to products helps you adapt your routine individually.
