YOUR CURL FAQs. ANSWERED.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE GOT CURLY HAIR?
A great way to test if your hair has a curl or wave to it is simply letting it air-dry. Look out for if your hair has a slight s-shape to it, or twists and turns.

HOW SHOULD I DRY MY CURLY HAIR?
To dry curly hair, gently blot excess water with a microfibre towel to avoid frizz and damaging your strands. Applying a leave-in conditioner or nourishing balm while your hair is still damp with help to lock in moisture and prevent frizz. Let your curls air dry or use a diffuser on low heat to enhance curls without causing frizz. Avoid towel-drying vigorously, as it can disrupt your curl pattern and cause frizz.

DO I NEED A LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER?
A leave-in conditioner like Light Nourish is a great way to lock in nourishment throughout your day, keeping your hair smooth and manageable. Gently dry your hair with a microfibre towel and smooth in the conditioner, using a wide-tooth comb to detangle. For extra curl and wave definition, scrunch the ends of your hair towards your head and then allow them to drop.

HOW CAN I REVIVE MY CURLS?
Curly hair can often become frizzy or loose it's definition in between wash days. For a quick curl, coil or wave revival, spritz in Cool Curls Revive & Refresh Mist through your hair and gently scrunch to bring your texture back, or twist around your finger to enhance the curl. For tighter coils, Cool Curls can be used to style your twist- or braid-outs by simply misting evenly through hair and styling. Allow hair to dry before unravelling for a softer, elongated look without the frizz.
