Brunette Baddies & Mermade Waves: Why the M Infrared Waver Is Hairdresser Approved

When it comes to effortless, glossy waves, the secret isn’t just in your technique, it’s in your tools. The M Infrared Waver has officially become the go-to styling weapon for professionals, and even hairdressers can’t get enough. One of our favourite stylists, Kim Haberley, swears by it for creating those soft, sunkissed Mermade waves that have become her signature.

“You can’t beat the original,” Kim says. “The M Infrared Waver gives the best, longest-lasting results… it’s literally the only tool I packed when I was in Miami.”

And if Kim’s hair looks are anything to go by, we completely understand why. The M Infrared Waver uses advanced infrared heat technology to style from the inside out, protecting your strands from damage while sealing in smoothness and shine.

Kim's Glow-Up Era

Kim’s recently been on a journey of self-evolution, embracing confidence and fresh energy both personally and professionally. Following her recent facelift, she’s been open about finding joy in feeling like herself again and how hair plays a huge role in that.

Kim Haberley’s Pro Tips for Perfect Mermade Waves

Kim’s not just a fan, she’s a pro at mastering the art of glossy, natural-looking waves. Here’s how she gets that perfect finish every time:

1. Wash your hair the day before, not the day of.
Freshly washed hair can be too silky and soft, making it harder to hold the wave. “I always recommend washing your hair the night before and styling the next day,” Kim shares. It gives your hair a bit more grit and helps the waves stay in place.

2. Brush all sections thoroughly.
Before clamping down with the waver, make sure your hair is completely detangled. “Brushing every section is key,” says Kim. It makes the waves smoother and more uniform, that’s what gives the polished, glossy finish.

3. Don’t be afraid of oil.
Unlike traditional heat tools that can make your hair look dry, the M Infrared Waver locks in moisture. Kim loves finishing with a nourishing hair oil to enhance that salon-level shine. “If you finish with quite a lot of oil, it sits even better after an hour,” she says. “That’s when it really looks its best.”

Why Hairdressers Love the Infrared Waver

• Protects from heat damage: Infrared heat penetrates the hair cortex gently, reducing frizz and breakage.
  

• Delivers long-lasting waves: No more limp curls that fall flat — your waves stay put all day (and night).
  

• Works for all hair types: Whether your hair is fine, thick, straight, or textured, the M Infrared Waver delivers consistent, defined results.

• Adds salon-quality shine: The infrared plates seal the cuticle to reflect light — giving that “expensive brunette” gloss that’s trending everywhere.

As Kim says… “Brunette badies with Mermade waves for 2025”
