Why Wavy, Curly and Coily Hair Needs a Hydration-Focused Routine
The natural shape of waves, curls and coils creates more stress points along the hair strand. It can also make it harder for natural oils to travel down the hair shaft, leaving these hair types more prone to dryness, breakage and frizz. That’s why a hydration-first routine is key to keeping hair nourished, glossy and defined.
Why Gisou Is Ideal for Waves, Curls and Coils
Every Gisou formula is powered by Mirsalehi Honey, a natural humectant that helps attract and lock in moisture.
For waves, curls and coils, this matters because:
- Honey helps pull water into the hair shaft, which is crucial for strands that dry out quickly.
- It adds slip, making detangling gentler and reducing breakage during wash day.
- It leaves a soft, touchable finish.
The result is a routine that tames frizz by hydrating first, then sealing and protecting. Read on to discover how to use the Gisou Gloss Method for your hair type.

FAQ: Hydration‑First Care for Waves, Curls and Coils
How often should I wash wavy, curly or coily hair?
Most wavy and curly hair types do well with 1–3 washes per week, while coily textures may prefer less frequent shampooing and more regular conditioning or co‑washing. The goal is to keep hair clean without stripping natural oils.
Can I use hair oil on fine waves without weighing them down?
Yes. For fine to medium waves, choose a lightweight option like Honey Gloss Collagen Drops and apply only a few drops to damp mid‑lengths and ends. Avoid the roots and use sparingly on dry hair.
How do I refresh my curls between washes?
Mist the Honey Milk Active Repair Leave‑In Conditioner over dry curls, then scrunch to revive definition and add hydration. If needed, smooth a small amount of Honey Infused Hair Oil over the mid-lengths and ends to tame flyaways.
Can I use the Honey Gloss Hair Mask on color‑treated or chemically processed hair?
Yes. Our Honey Gloss Hair Mask is formulated to be suitable for all hair types, including color‑treated and chemically processed hair. It helps nourish and strengthen while supporting frizz control and shine
