How to Apply

Finding the balance

Start with a good hair wash. Apply this versatile Curl Activator to wet hair for optimal results. On days in between hair washes, simply refresh your hair with water and a touch of Curljar.

Wet Hair

Most of the curl-making magic happens when your hair is wet after a good wash, this increases product absorption when applied.
Dry Time

Do not disturb! Over-handling your curls during their dry time will create unwanted frizz. Diffuse gently on low heat for added volume or air-dry naturally.
Next Day

Simply add some water to revitalise & hydrate any dry or frizzy curls. If needed add a small amount of diluted product to reshape and refresh curls.

How to Apply

Styling techniques

Raking

Run fingers through hair to spread the product. Use a brush for increased distribution & definiton.
Scrunching

To set curl clusters, squeeze and hold your curls from ends to roots for 2 to 3 seconds with a 'squelching' scrunch.
Twirling

Spiral individual curls around one finger, to form targeted definition. Perfect for your face framing curls.

STEP 1

Good hair wash

Begin with a clean canvas. Removing any build-up caused by product, environment or sweat. Wet hair is also like a sponge, ready to absorb product. So it's the moment you want to begin applying.

STEP 2

Section hair

Product distribution is key! Divide your hair into manageable layers. This ensures that every strand is coated, minimising room for those sneaky frizz spots to make an appearance once your hair is dry.

STEP 3

Rake into hair

Mix the product between palms and use fingers to comb through your hair. Brush styling wet hair can improve distribution of product and bounce. This is for those aiming for a more defined finish.

STEP 4

Scrunch & Hold

To encourage natural curl formation, always finish your styling routine with a 'squelching' scrunch. Squeeze your curls from end to root to set your curls in place.

STEP 5

Dry time

Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser on a low and cool temperature, to set properly. As your hair dries you will notice a light cast forming, this is needed for good hold. Try not disturb drying curls. Over-handling curls before they are fully dry can cause unwanted frizz and less definition.

STEP 6

Break the cast

When curls are 100% dry scrunch them to break the cast. This releases their natural shape and activates softness + volume. You can now enjoy your lasting curls.

STEP 7

Next Day Activation

Revive and redefine your curls the following day with a misting of water to reactivate and reshape any flatness from overnight. You can re-apply a small amount of product if required on misted hair.
