Curly hair product cocktail routines have been surfacing quite bit lately. If you’re after some inspiration or want to spice up your routine, this article is for you!
Amazing and effective combos for every goal:
Serum + foam (hydrated and bouncy)
Oil + gel (soft curls and lasting hold)
Leave in conditioner + styling lotion + gel (long lasting definition)
Styling lotion + gel + foam (definition and volume)
Leave in conditioner + curling custard (bouncy and defined)
Styling lotion + curling custard (extreme definition)
General tips for working out your cocktail routine:
- Gel gives long lasting definition.
- If using a leave in conditioner, it’s generally best to apply it before applying other products.
- Ensure to rinse (normal) conditioner out thoroughly. Since you are adding multiple products in your hair, the last thing you want is residue weighing down your results.
- Be strategic about product placement.
- Be careful with amounts of each product you use and don’t be heavy handed.
Most important step: have fun!
It’s amazing how many different looks you can achieve just by simply changing an element in your routine. Although it can be frustrating when you have amazing results one wash day and terrible the next, think of this as an exciting thing. Textured hair is ever-changing and can achieve so many drastically different patterns. Make the most out of this and enjoy it. Experiment and see what you like best!
