How to Refresh Your Curls in 5 Easy Steps
Bonjour everybody! If you want to learn how to refresh your curls, follow along with my step-by-step tutorial.
I’ll show you how I go from day-2 curls that have lost their curl pattern to completely refreshed curls.
Tools and materials:
- Spray bottle
- Hair brush
- Curl-defining product
- Leave-in conditioner mask
- Styling gel
- Curl diffuser
1. Dampen the hair but avoid the roots
Start by flipping your head upside-down and using a spray bottle to dampen the hair, avoiding the roots.
This will help maintain any natural volume you might have.
2. Apply curl-defining product
Put about 1 teaspoon of curl-defining product in your hands at a time and run it through your hair.
Do this about 3 times to make sure everything is covered.
Then brush through the hair to ensure that the product is nicely distributed. Then part your hair however you like.
Apply a bit more product, starting closer to the roots and raking it downward.
3. Apply a hair mask to the ends
Apply a small amount of hair mask to your ends for a boost of moisture.
4. Work on your curl formation
Flip your head and scrunch up your hair to help define the curls.
As you go, brush out any knots and if there is a dry section, add a bit of water from the spray bottle.
Add styling gel to your hands and continue scrunching.
What a difference already! After applying these products, my curls are looking like this:
5. Diffuse your curls
Use a curl diffuser to dry and finish forming your curls. Check out these amazing, voluminous curls:
The tips of my hair are nicely hydrated, thanks to the mask. When you get just the right balance of hydration to your curls, the better the curl definition, less frizz and less breakage.
The key to maintaining natural volume is avoiding over-application of products at the roots.
There is some frizz at the top but I’m okay with it, considering how it started.
