Curly hair isn’t just hair, it’s a statement. But with great curls comes great responsibility, and finding the perfect routine can sometimes feel like a divine mystery. The truth? Your curls don’t need taming, they need cherishing. With the right products and care, your natural texture can thrive, bouncing with life, definition, and shine. Follow this heavenly curly hair routine, featuring St. Louis Says products, to keep your curls soft and radiant
1. Cleanse with Care
The foundation of any curl routine starts in the shower. Harsh shampoos strip curls of their natural oils, leaving them dry, frizzy, and prone to breakage. That’s why our Moisture Repair Shampoo is a must. Free from SLS and parabens, it gently cleanses while hydrating your curls, ensuring they stay soft, nourished, and defined. When washing, focus on massaging the scalp to remove buildup while letting the suds rinse through the lengths without roughing up your curl pattern.
2. Condition Like It’s a Ritual
Curly hair drinks up moisture like a blessing from above, which is why a rich, nourishing conditioner is non-negotiable. The Moisture Repair Conditioner is designed to quench thirsty curls, reducing frizz while enhancing softness and definition. For the best results, apply generously, comb through with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, and let it sit for a few minutes to work its magic. Rinse with cool water to lock in all that moisture.
3. Style with Intention
How you style your curls after washing is just as important as the products you use. To enhance your natural texture:
- Apply product to soaking wet hair: this helps curls absorb maximum hydration.
- Layer your styling products: for long-lasting definition and hold, start with a curl cream to add moisture, follow with a lightweight mousse for volume, and finish with a gel to lock in shape and fight frizz.
- Use the "praying hands" method: smooth the products over your hair instead of raking through to prevent disrupting curl clumps.
- Scrunch gently: encourage your curls to form by scrunching upwards, boosting bounce and definition.
- Plop or air-dry: wrap your curls in a soft cotton T-shirt or microfibre towel to absorb excess water, or let them air-dry for ultimate softness. Diffusing on low heat can speed up drying while maintaining curl integrity.
4. Protect and Refresh
Curly hair thrives with a little extra care between washes. Here’s how to keep your curls looking fresh:
- Sleep on silk: swap your pillowcase for silk or satin to prevent frizz and breakage.
- Pineapple your hair: gather your curls into a loose, high ponytail before bed to maintain volume and shape.
- Refresh with water and conditioner: revive second or third day curls with a mist of water mixed with Moisture Repair Conditioner for a hydration boost.
5. Embrace the Volume
While hydration is key, curls also love a little lift. For those who want extra body, our Volumising Duo adds volume without drying out your curls. They’re perfect for finer curls that need a little boost without the weight. For extra lift at the roots, flip your hair upside down while styling and scrunch upwards - gravity is your best friend when it comes to bounce!
Curly hair isn’t something to fight, it’s something to celebrate. Switching to gentle, SLS and paraben free products ensures your curls remain healthy, defined, and full of life.
