[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2) Over the past few years, my hair has changed textures from straight to quite wavy. If I blow it out, it will be straight, and I can air-dry it into nice, shiny bouncy waves with some creme gel. But if I sleep on it, it is scraggly and this odd straight-wavy hybrid of mess. I prefer not to wash my hair every day, so any tips how to maintain nice waves? Should I just wet my hair daily even if not shampooing it?[/quote]

My hair is exactly like yours if I don't blow-dry it, so I wash and blow-dry it every day that I'm planning to be seen (6-7 days per week), and it's the bane.of.my.existence.  But I've recently discovered a way to get an extra day out of it.  So exciting!!!

I wash it the night before, give it a quick messy upside-down blow-dry to get some volume, doesn't matter what it looks like, and go to bed.  The next morning, I curl it with a 1/2-inch curling iron (by wrapping sections around the iron, not using the clamp), separate it with my fingers a bit, hairspray it -- it looks great ([url=http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/2012/09/lightly-curled-hair-tutorial.html]looks like this[/url]).  Then the next day, miraculously the curls are still there.  This never used to be the case with my hair, and I'm not sure what changed -- whether the texture has changed with age, or whether it has to do with the heat from the iron or the curling technique or what.

So the curls are still there, but the roots look a little limp and greasy, so I use [b]dry shampoo[/b].  Look on YouTube for dry shampoo tutorials if you've never used it, but basically you just spray it at the roots, then fluff it.  I've only tried the brands Dove and Batiste so far, and both get rid of the grease but the Dove one has a stronger chemical smell, so I prefer Batiste (bought it at Giant).

Dry shampoo might be enough for you and you could skip the whole curling thing.  But my hair just looks too limp on Day 2 if I wore it straight the day before.[/quote]
