Do you sometimes (secretly”> wish your tight curls & coils could just fall down over your shoulders as smooth, flowy loose curls for a day or two? Erm, of course not, right?
Come on… I love my hair in its absolute MOST natural state–tight, curly-coily spirals and corkscrews pointing in every which direction on top of my head–but I will be the first to admit that sometimes, I just want elongated, well-defined curls. Shrinkage, please have a seat.
Here are my 3 cocktails for elongating your curls. These have been tested and approved by my unpredictable mane and have been proven to minimize natural hair shrinkage.
2nd Day Cocktail
This works best on dry, second or third-day wash-and-go hair.
You’ll Need
- A silicone-free frizz fighter – like Curl Keeper from Curly Hair Solutions
- An aloe-based moisturizer – like Blended Beauty Curl Styling Butter
- A detangler with honey and glycerin – like Fuzzy Duck Detangler & Refresher
Directions
- Spritz a few pumps of Fuzzy Duck Detangler into damp or dry hair that has been detangled. Focus spraying the ends of your hair.
- Pour a dime-sized amount of Curl Keeper into your palm and use your other hand to dab it with two fingers. Take your curls and gently work the serum through your strands from beginning to end. Do this for each curl.
- Scoop out the Styling Butter and twirl each curl and coil to seal in moisture on your ends. Also be sure to pat some on your temples and edges.
