hi I'm Christina from HairRomance.com and welcome back to Hair Romance, the place
that's all about loving your hair
so today's video is a request and I've been
asked about ways to refresh curls on the second day. Or it could be third, or it
could be fourth, or it could be seventh.. no judgement! And you shouldn't be
washing your hair every day if you have curly hair anyway. So I've got a few
videos on my channel which I'll link somewhere around here and they've been
really popular because I have a little trick for using heat that I use to
always get a perfect result so if you definitely definitely want to get an
exact result that is my go-to way that I always star my hair but sometimes you're
just at home or you don't be using heat all the time so I've got a couple of
methods of heat free ways to refresh your curls on the second day.
Now the first one is of course a little bit of preparation and that's making sure that
you go to bed the right way so that your curls wake up pretty good in the morning
the main way you wreck your hair overnight is by tossing and turning a
rough pillowcase this sort of thing I dream a lot so I'm always moving a
lot in my sleep so I can wake up with a bit of a bird's nest so the trick I use
is I always clip up my hair. Now the clip I use I have not been able to find it at
the moment and but the one thing I love about it it
has a flat bottom. I am on the lookout for these if you know where you can find
one please let me know. This is a Lady Jayne one and there's a smaller version
still available but this one I'm going to find it!! but the thing that works well
so what you want to look for in a clip that will be comfortable is it has a
silicon inner and it has a nice flat base so I don't get any bars
sticking into my head and the silicon holds my hair and stays in place this is
great but if you can't these are really really easy to find and these are
Invisibobbles and you can also get these from a few other brands but they are a
great loose elastic that doesn't leave a mark in your hair and what I do with
these which I've shown on my other videos I'll quickly show you as well is
that put my hair up right on top of my head
like really you almost want to get your head upside down I'm not even doing a
very good job now but kind of so that it's right up and this technique is
called pineapple in because you end up looking a bit like a pineapple so with
this technique what I like to do is clip my hair up and then sleep like that and
then in the morning let my hair down and I'm left with quite a little bit of
volume so this is my hair this is our second day here and I haven't put any
other product in it except how it is now the other thing as well is to sleep on a
silk pillowcase everyone I'm hearing so much more talk about this now which is
great because it's such an old trick my mum told me about it from years ago and
if you are in a bit of a budget you can always get a vintage silk scarf which
you can pick up pretty cheaply especially they're really ugly ones but
no one will see it at home tie it around your pillow and then you can be sleeping
in a silk pillowcase so just a few dollars otherwise there's some beautiful
ones on the market from slip and the good night company they have some
incredible pillowcases which I highly recommend and I have both of those ones
at home so sleeping on a good surface and having your hair up is going to help
if you don't like having anything in your hair what I can recommend is a
technique that a reader told me about and she described it as sleeping like
little mermaid sleeping like Ariel which I thought was really funny but sometimes
I do do this if I am just kind of maybe having a little lay down and I'll squash
my hair this is quite good if you want to sit down and read for a while or hang
out where she puts all her hair up and sort of lays it out like a fan behind
her on the pillow and I think this is that's a great way if I'm just laying on
the sofa I do want to squash on my hair just do that and if you're a
very quiet sleeper that'll work for you
now the next trick so now you've sort of woken up with hair
that looks a bit like this or maybe looks worse... my hair's a mix of like a
few straighter sections a few curly sections it has it's a mine of its own
always does, so what I'd recommend next is to have a steamy shower works really
well for me. So after I have a shower I still keep my hair clipped up in the
shower. I don't wash my face in the shower because I find the water's too hot
so I just wash my body and I keep my face and hair out of the shower. I have a
really hot shower so it's important if you have a shower as hot as I do that
you're not putting your face under that water either. So just my body and then
when I come back out I wash my face and then I'll unclip my hair and kind of let
the steam from the shower that's built up kind of work into my hair kind of
just gives it a little bit more volume but if you want to recreate this if you
don't shower in the morning or you don't have a boiling hot shower like me you
can just use a really fine water mist so you need to pick up one of these.
These are water spray bottles. I've had this one for ages. You can buy these
anywhere at supermarkets anywhere for a couple of dollars and all you want to do
is just have a nice little fine mist of water because frizz comes a lot from
dry hair so you need to add a little bit of moisture back in to reset your curls
I just like to lightly miss the product through my hair and give it a little bit
of a scrunch up. I can also spot any curls that are looking a little bad and
maybe concentrate more water on those and twist them to try and reform the curl.
now once you've added in that water and your hair's had a chance to refresh
and your curls come back to life a little bit you need to make sure that you can
set them. A really quick trick for me it's just to mix a little bit of water
with my conditioner and you want to grab if you following the curly girl method
you want to use a silicone free conditioner like Darshana this is a
great product from a really small business that I love to support but
otherwise whatever conditioner you use is fine and I just mix a really small
amount with a little bit of water in your hands just to loosen that down and
then run that through your curls.
and I find that that conditioner works really
well for taming frizz tha sort of works all the way down and it's kind of all
through my hair and also helps and to really hydrate the ends of my hair that
might be looking a bit frayed
another tip you can do is you can create your own leave-in spray. Taking
another water bottle similar to this you can mix it a little bit of conditioner
in water about one part conditioner to five parts water and give that a good
shake and you can use that instead of your water spray to do a two in one
if you really want to get a little bit more hold and your hair needs a bit of extra
help and going for a gel or a custard can work really well. I like the kinky
curly curling custard that is a bit of a tongue twister but this product's great
and has like a sort of weird jelly texture or like a custard gel to be
honest it's the best way to describe it and it dries, it does form a bit of a cast
on your hair so I use that if I want to redefine any ends or redefine any curls
let that set and then scrunch out the cast to reveal softer calls maybe about
depending on how damp my hair is maybe like an hour or two later
and if you wake up in your hair is a total mess you can do a half start again
and what I mean by this is where I would wet my hair down not completely in the
shower but I'm almost so that it's half wet through and then I would put my
either like a gel and a curl cream back through my hair and almost come out with
wet hair so I haven't had to wash it all the way through and wash my scalp I'm
just resetting my curls and then I would use a diffuser and just quickly re-dry
my hair so that I'm ready to go and that routine probably would
only take me maximum half an hour with it's not a full wash but it's fresh
curls to start the day again
another tip to leave you with to refresh your curls is just to check where your
part is sitting and often curls can get quite flat on top and you get a lot more
volume here at the ends and so you want to check that how your part is sitting
because a flat part can also give the illusion of less volume and a bit more
of a zigzag curving part can create the look of volume so with my hair I always
like to have a side part but I have it curving back around so that I have some
curls sitting this way and some sitting around here and you can just move some
curls around to see where that's it's better to create a little bit more
volume particularly at the crown or around the sides and top of your head
I really hope these tips help for a heat free curl refresh in the morning I also
