Some mornings, your curls need a little extra TLC to look their best. Whether you’re waking up with flat curls, frizz, or just a little too much bedhead, the right morning refresh routine can make all the difference.

Here’s a quick, 5-step guide to getting your curls ready to take on the day.

1. Spritz with Water or Curl Refresher Spray

Start by hydrating your curls. A light mist of water or a curl refresher spray helps reactivate the products you used the day before and revives your curls without the need to wash them. Make sure to focus on the mid-lengths and ends, where frizz tends to form.

2. Apply a Gel, Curl Cream or Leave-in Conditioner

Once your curls are damp, apply a gel, curl cream or leave-in conditioner to lock in moisture and define your curls. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to work the product through your hair, ensuring that every curl is hydrated and ready for the day.

3. Scrunch and Encourage Your Curl Pattern

Gently scrunch your curls upwards towards your scalp. This encourages the natural curl pattern and helps your curls form without weighing them down. Scrunching is the best way to revive those curls that may have lost some of their shape overnight.

4. Use a Diffuser to Dry Your Curls

If you’re in a hurry, use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer. A diffuser gently dries curls while maintaining their shape and volume. Hold the dryer close to your scalp and let the curls dry naturally, ensuring your curls keep their bounce and shine. If you used a gel then you will need to scrunch again

5. Finish with a Light Hold Gel or Oil

To lock in your curl definition and reduce frizz, finish your routine with a light hold gel or oil. This adds shine and keeps your curls intact throughout the day. Just be sure not to use too much, as a little goes a long way.

Final Thoughts

With this quick and easy morning refresh routine, you can keep your curls looking fresh and bouncy every day. No more bad hair days, just gorgeous, defined curls that shine with health and confidence.
