How to refresh your curls on non-wash days
Do your curls lose their bounce and shine between wash days? Don't worry, you're not alone! Refreshing your curls doesn't have to be a chore. Here’s a simple guide to reviving your curls without the need for a full wash.
Start with a good base
Before you hit the pillow, make sure to protect your curls. Pineapple your hair or pop on a bonnet. This helps reduce the amount of frizz and re-styling you'll need to do the next day.
Mist with water
Begin your refresh by lightly misting your hair with water. That's what the Curlytops Continuous Spray Bottle is for! You don’t want to drench your hair; just dampen it enough to re-activate the products already in your curls.
Re-apply curl cream or gel, if needed
Once your curls are slightly damp, you'll be able to tell if you need more product. Can you feel the curl cream of gel in your hair? If yes, don't add more! If not, use a small amount of curl cream or gel. Remember, less is more!
Use your prayer hands
Are you curls a total bust? Fear not! Section your hair with a clip and start at the back. Apply a little more water. Then put a small dollop of curl cream or gel in you hand. Spray it with water. Rub your hands together. Then position your hands with one on each side of the section. Bring your hands together near the roots and gently run your hands down to the ends. Scrunch and repeat on each section. That might be enough to restore your curl glory.
Finger coil those unruly strands
Here's how:
Dry and Scrunch
If you're in a hurry, you can use a hairdryer with a diffuser to speed up the drying process. If not, let your hair air dry. Once dry, gently scrunch your curls to break any cast from the gel and to boost volume.
By incorporating these steps into your routine, you can extend the life of your wash days and keep your curls looking lively and defined. No need for daily washing!
