Curly Hair Routine

Hi I'm Brynne, Owner of Luxe Color Lounge! 

I'm a natural curly girl and am always answering questions about how I style my hair, what products I use etc. and after my Curl Talk, I wanted to do a breakdown with some tips, tricks and photos (yes, some of these are of me just waking up and all of them are makeup free thanks to quarantine (and honestly, my usual look)). 
​
1. This photo was taken after a full wash day! I use Ouidad's VitalCurl™+ Balancing Rinse Shampoo and  Conditioner along with it's styling gel. Full details on how to properly wash arehere and how to properly style are here. If you'd like to order Ouidad products click here and email us!

2. This photo shows how I clip my hair before bed! Using small curly girl clips (below). I twist my hair in different sections going with my curl pattern and pin to the top of my head while I sleep. This keeps all my curls in place through the night and I also sleep with a silk pillow case (below). 

3. When I wake up, I carefully take out my clips and this is usually what my hair first looks like - a little crazy. But, I let it settle on its own (I do not touch yet or try to adjust this will just add more frizz and disrupt my curls). I'll make coffee, do my morning routine, get dressed all with my crazy hair.

4. Finally, when it settles a bit on its own, I use the end of a comb or a pick to place my curls where I want them. At this point I may spray a tiny bit of water with a spray bottle (below) or flip my head upside down and fluff. By sleeping with the clips I get a little more volume on day 2 then on day 1, which I prefer!

5. The next day, I do the same morning routine letting my curls fall (3) and see what my curls choose to do that morning. I had a few that weren't as curly and weren't cooperating. When this happens, I'll clip a section back and out of the way and even part my hair differently. Curly hair does have a mind of its own!

6. A bit less definition on this day, but amping up the volume. I didn't do anything this day but shower in a low bun. Sometimes the humidity from the shower amps up the volume (which I look for) If you are looking to tame your volume, consider showering in a cap. 

7. This day, I used the diffuser again a refresh. I showered with my hair down, got it only a little damp and then dried using the diffuser very briefly.  If you're looking for more curl definition on your blowdryers "cool" setting. I use DevaCurl's Diffuser (below) because it gets super close to my root which tends to be the hardest to reach for me. 

8. Post yoga hair (did yoga in a very loose pony on top of my head) let it down and clipped the side for a different style. 

9. At this point, I start waking up like this instead of photo 3. This is about when I know I only have about 2 more days before another wash day. 

10. Because of this, I'll rock a half up half down look. This photo 10 is before I showered...

11.  And this is post-shower. I did not touch my hair, I allowed very little water to hit it, but the moisture and humidity from being in the shower gave my curls a new fullness and moisture! 
12. At this point, it's time for another wash day, or I'll throw my hair up in a messy bun!

Thanks for pointing out that it will help to let the curly hair settle on its own after removing pins and clips. I will share this tip with my sister in case she pushes through with seeing a curly hairstylist in London this weekend. It would help her have an idea on how to take care of the curls she will get, since she really wanted to experience that kind of hairstyle ever since we were teens.

I appreciate you mentioning that if you want your blowdryer's "cold" setting to give your curls more definition. My sister will wed in a month. She has hair that is curly. I'll advise her to have a natural curl cut so that her curls will look gorgeous for the wedding.

Here is my curly hair care routine in 6 steps:

Shampoo and Condition: Start by shampooing and conditioning your hair with a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. This will help to cleanse your hair without stripping away natural oils, leaving your curls hydrated and defined.

Apply a Leave-In Conditioner: After washing your hair, apply a leave-in conditioner to help detangle your curls and provide extra moisture. This will also help to prevent frizz and make your curls easier to manage.

Apply a Curl Enhancer or Styling Cream: Apply a curl enhancer or styling cream to help define your curls and reduce frizz. Use a product that suits your hair's needs, whether you want more definition, volume, or hold.

Scrunch and Air Dry: Scrunch your hair to help form your curls and promote definition, and then allow your hair to air dry. Avoid using a hairdryer or any heat-styling tools, as this can cause frizz and damage to your curls.

Refresh Curls: In between wash days, use a water-based curl refresher or spray to refresh your curls and add moisture. Apply the refresher to your hair and scrunch your curls to revive them.

Protect at Night: Protect your curls at night by sleeping on a satin pillowcase or using a silk scarf or bonnet to prevent friction and tangles.
