For the ones who like to bend the rules

wayvee hair launched in 2024 after founder Bianca Bartolo finally threw in the microfibre towel and picked up the linen one. After many years working in the beauty industry and many more personally testing every curly product and method under the sun, wayvee entered the chat to send a message to curly hair cuties everywhere that it’s cool to be wavy, in every sense of the word.
“I founded wayvee out of a genuine need for a curly alternative to hair accessories clearly not designed with waves and texture in mind. I also wanted something that looked cute in my bathroom and wouldn’t introduce unnecessary waste into the world. We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure our products are as sustainable as possible, producing everything with local makers and using innovative materials, like our bioresin buttons."
Our mission is to become the epicentre of a curly hair culture that celebrates frizz and encourages self-expression. By bucking the trends and nailing the essentials, with ethically produced, sustainable hair accessories made to help folk with curly, frizzy, fluffy, textured and all kinds of wavy hair unleash the kind of confidence that comes with embracing your natural state, your natural hair, your naturally weird self as the very best version of you.
If we’re going to do something, we want to do it right. That means doing right by the planet by creating the most sustainable products we possibly can. And doing right by people, by upholding diversity and community connection as more than just lip service. Part of connecting with community is being physically present. Which is why it's important to us that we support local makers and textile manufacturers by producing Hair Towel in Australia. Here are some other values we try to uphold.
HAIRCARE IS SELF-CARE
Self-care isn’t all downward dogs and mindfulness. Although we like those too. We firmly believe that preening is a human right and a valid way to feel good about yourself. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.
BE YOUR WEIRD SELF
Frizzy one day, fully sleek the next. We're not here to tell you how to wear your hair. Expressing yourself through hair is fun, and highly encouraged. Besdies, life's too short not to let your hair hang loose. So be the weirdest, freakiest, waviest version of yourself. We dare you.
PAYING THE RENT
wayvee operates on Wurundjeri land and acknowledge that the people of the Kulin Nation never ceded sovereignty. Which is why we pay our respects by donating a portion of all our sales to Djirra, providing culturally safe legal and non-legal support services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who are experiencing family violence and sexual assault.
