5 Steps to Beautifully Hydrated, Long Lasting Curls
When you understand what your curls need at each stage, you can create hydrated, defined, long-lasting curls every time.
Step 1: Clarify
If your curls aren’t holding moisture, buildup might be blocking hydration. A clarifying shampoo or detox mask gives your hair a clean slate.
Step 2: Clean
Healthy curls start with a clean scalp. Emulsify shampoo in your hands, then apply it to different areas—sides, top, crown, and nape—for a thorough cleanse.
Step 3: Condition
Hydration happens here. On soaking-wet hair, rake conditioner through, then squish to condish—scrunching water and conditioner into your curls.
Step 4: Fill
This is where a filler product smooths out those “potholes,” helping your curls stay hydrated longer. The tighter the curl pattern, the more filler the hair needs.
Step 5: Seal
Layer a sealer on top to lock it all in. Then just air dry or diffuse for bouncy, lasting curls.
Your Curl Roadmap is all about giving your hair hydration, definition, and long-lasting style—step by step. Follow the 5 steps, and your curls will thank you!
