Quick answer
Use a curl refresher spray like Mane 'n Tail's Curl Refresher Spray to re-moisturize and reactivate curls, coils, kinks, and waves without a full wash. Mist onto dry or slightly damp hair, then scrunch or finger-comb to restore shape.
Why use a curl refresher spray instead of washing
Washing curly hair daily can strip natural oils and lead to frizz. A refresher spray lets you extend your style while adding moisture and detangling knots. It's a gentler option for maintaining curl definition between wash days.
How to refresh second day curls step by step
- Step 1: Lightly dampen your hair: Mist your curls with water from a spray bottle until they feel slightly damp, not soaking wet. Over-wetting can flatten the curl pattern and create frizz. Start with just a few spritzes; you can always add more.
- Step 2: Apply curl refresher spray: Hold the Mane 'n Tail Curl Refresher Spray about 6–8 inches from your hair. Mist evenly over sections, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends where curls tend to dry out. Avoid the roots if you want to keep volume and prevent a greasy look.
- Step 3: Scrunch to reactivate curls: Cup sections of your hair in your palms and gently scrunch upward toward the scalp. This motion encourages the curl to reform. A common mistake is scrunching too hard, which can cause frizz. Use a light, squeezing motion—don't rub or twist the hair.
- Step 4: Let curls air dry or diffuse: Allow your hair to air dry for a natural finish, or use a diffuser on low heat for faster results. Touching curls while they dry can disrupt the shape and create unwanted frizz. Patience is key—let the product do its work without interference.
- Step 5: Fluff and go: Once dry, gently shake your roots or use a wide-tooth comb to separate curls if needed. Avoid brushing dry curls, as this can break up the curl pattern and cause frizz. A final light mist of refresher spray can add extra hold if desired.
