The Background

The VWAE Story

Vital. Wave. Authentic. Experience.

VWAE isn’t just another wave brand—it’s a movement, a lifestyle, and a commitment to excellence in hair care.

If you look closely, you’ll notice VWAE is just “Wave” spelled differently—because we’re here to redefine the wave experience.

Like many others, I started my wave journey using petroleum-based products, random brushes, and any durag I could find. I didn’t realize that while I was forming waves, I was also damaging my hair. My process required extra effort because the products I was using weren’t made for true hair health.

As I elevated my knowledge, I refined my routine—switching to all-natural ingredients, premium brushes, and higher-quality durags. My waves became healthier, deeper, and more defined, and soon, people started asking me:

• What do you use in your hair?

• What’s the best brush?

• Where do you get your durags?

• How can I get waves like yours?

That’s when I realized I had an opportunity—not just to provide better products, but to educate, inspire, and uplift the wave community.

The Birth of VWAE

VWAE was built to solve the problems that many wavers face:

✔ No more harmful chemicals—only all-natural, high-performance ingredients.

✔ No more guesswork—everything you need, all in one place.

✔ No more gatekeeping—knowledge, technique, and community support to elevate your wave game.

Wave culture is more than just a hairstyle—it’s an art form, a discipline, and a legacy of self-mastery within community. VWAE is here to uphold that tradition, giving you the tools to craft waves that don’t just look good, but feel healthy, strong, and defined.

A Brand That Gives Back
