2. Serum Swoop for Frizz-Free Ends
Dealing with frizzy ends that look more “fried” than “fabulous”? Say hello to your new best friend—The Curl Co. Hair Serum. After refreshing your curls with water, pump a small amount of serum into your hands, warm it up between your palms, and lightly pat or "swoop" it onto the ends of your curls. Not only does this reduce frizz, but it also adds shine that screams “I woke up like this.”
Why it works: A hair serum seals moisture into the hair cuticle and tames those flyaways without weighing your curls down. It’s a quick fix that’s almost magical.
Hack time: 1 minute. One and Done.
3. The 5-Second Finger Coil
If your curls are having an off day—perhaps that one rogue section that’s just not playing nice—here’s a quick hack. Take a small amount of our Soft Hold Curl Cream, and twirl individual curls around your finger. Let them sit for about 5 seconds, then release. Your curls will spring back to life like nothing happened! You can repeat this trick in any problem areas to get back that defined curl pattern.
Why it works: This mini reset helps curls regain their structure, especially in places that might have been squished or frizzed out.
Hack time: 1-5 minutes. One and Done.
4. Oil Slick for Instant Shine
For days when your curls need a little extra gloss (without looking greasy), reach for our lightweight hair oil. A few drops in your hands, rub together, and gently pat over your curls to add an instant shine. Focus on the ends and mid-lengths of your hair to prevent it from looking oily at the roots. Your curls will look fresh, shiny, and healthy—perfect for a quick pick-me-up before heading out.
Why it works: Lightweight oil coats your hair in a protective layer, locking in moisture and adding shine, all while keeping the frizz at bay.
Hack time: 1 minute. One and Done.
5. Pineapple & Plop for the Win
Want to wake up with curls that look like you actually styled them? Try “pineappling” before bed. Flip your hair upside down and tie it into a loose ponytail at the top of your head. This preserves your curl pattern while you sleep. In the morning, take down the pineapple and refresh your curls with a light water mist or a bit of curl cream—good as new!
Why it works: By keeping your curls above your head, you minimize friction, which is a major culprit behind frizz and flattened curls.
Hack time: 2 minutes at night, 1 minute in the morning. One and Done.
