Every season comes with its own set of adjustments - temperature, humidity, rain, UV rays. Whether it be a sunny summer or the wettest winter, us Curlies are always looking for the best ways to keep hair looking fresh and bouncy for as long as can be. And wouldn’t you know it, Jessicurl strives to do exactly that - providing you with the best products to last all day, every day, until your next washday! Because, we get it - Curlies are busy! We’re traveling, moving, running errands, playing sports, watching Love Island UK, caring for others - we want our curls lasting as long as possible so we can make the most of our time! So, here are a few tips on how to maximize your curl potential so that every day can be a “Day 2 curls” kind of day:
Particularly Perfect Products
What you put in your curls is crucial to how they turn out both short-term and long. Using a Clarifying Shampoo once every two weeks allows for the scalp to reset and refresh, which results in a clean base with fresher, lighter curls. From there, using a mix of products that compliment each other is the best way to keep the structure of your curls for days. Lightweight, protein-free products such as Gelebration Spray (for finer hair) or Rockin’ Ringlets Styling Potion (for coarser hair) paired with the most beloved protein-free gel on the market, Spiralicous Styling Gel, are ideal combos that create long-lasting, high definition, and crunch-free curls! Flaxseed from Gelebration or Rockin’ Ringlets introduces healthy oils such as Vitamin E and B to each strand, providing moisture that locks into strands without weighing them down. Flaxseeds also provide structure similar to protein, without the overload, which helps improve curl formation. The water-based Spiralicious Styling Gel makes sure that those curls are staying in place with its incredible hold, and a few scrunches once the gel cast is set takes away any crunchiness that comes with an average gel. No matter where you go or what you encounter, this combo will have your curls looking like you just got done doing them - even days later!
Rejuvenating Refreshments
When styling curls for the day, a little bit of refreshment can go a long way. Low-porosity Curlies can benefit from using a spray bottle to introduce a bit of water to curls to help smooth frizz or flyaways. Or, if you’re a pro, mixing in a bit of Spiralicious into the water to redefine and rejuvenate curls while providing extra hold to each curl. Finer-haired & thick-haired curlies alike could also benefit from the Jojoba Oil infused Awe Inspiraling Refresher Spray, which can be sprayed onto dry, droopy curls to perk them back up into their usual lightweight, bouncy state!
Sensational Styling
How we style our hair on the first day sets the tone for every other day until washday. Make sure to let hair dry in a gel cast completely without moving it or separating curl clumps - doing so allows for more frizz and flyaways due to the curls not drying properly! Using silk or satin scrunchies and pillowcases also protects hair from excessive friction, resulting in less breakage and brittle strands. Like I said before, we know how busy it gets in any season. That’s why, here at Jessicurl, we create intentional products with carefully curated ingredients to make sure your curls are bouncing around as much as you are - because you always have the right to remain curly!
