Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Bond … curated on LTK

My old diffusing routine from 2020.

A little odd? Yes. Pain in the neck? Absolutely. But did I achieve my desired result? Every time.

In this video, I demonstrate a method I like to call "Hammock Diffusing" to achieve optimal definition and shine, less disruption to the curl pattern and a whole lot less frizz.

How to Wash & Style Curly/Wavy Hair Upside Down (Without Wonky Curls!)

Tip #1: Rotate your head from side to side while washing and styling. This helps lift your roots and prevents flat or “wonky” sections in the back.

Tip #2: Shake your hair before scrunching. This encourages your curls/waves to form in their natural direction, reducing frizz and uneven curl clumps.

Perfect for anyone with wavy hair, curly hair, or learning the upside-down wash routine.

How I wash & style when upside down

TIP #1: Rotate your head from side to side, lifting at the root, to avoid wonky sections in the back.

TIP #2: Shake your hair before scrunching. This will help your hair curl in its natural direction, creating less wonky curls from scrunching.

How I make my wavy curls last for DAYSSSS ✨

This has been my go-to sleep routine for months and is easily the biggest game changer for my hair this year.

Improper sleep protection will always kill the waves 😭

However, refreshing at night and sleeping with a silk pillowcase and/or bonnet has saved my hair! See the pinned videos on my IG (@wavycurly) or posted on this page 💛

Products for the first clips are tagged below.

Tip: for looser textures, make sure your hair is wet but NOT soaking when styling with this brush. If it's too wet, the clumps will stick together and not remain separated. This separation is what creates the volume

For bigger clumps, check out the Bounce Curl DEFINE EdgeLift brush tagged below under “similar” products. The side grooves are further apart on the Define brush.

I’ve also tagged the bounce curl cream as an alternative to the leave-in I show here. You’ll see that I most often use the cream over the leave-in, but never both as it would be too heavy for my hair type.

Leave-in > mousse > hairspray

*please note the importance of using an alcohol-free hairspray on wet or damp hair. Using something WITH alcohol can dry out and damage the hair.

I’ve tagged a few hairspray and oil options below.

My wavy hair routine lately✨

The combo of mousse + hairspray is light enough to create volume, but strong enough to add definition. And the best part? It takes me less than 20 mins to dry with a diffuser.

I can’t be bothered with much these days, especially not my hair. This routine is one of my quickest go-to summer routines.

Wavy hair is not straight hair.

Sounds obvious, right? We can see the difference in shape, but our expectations often get misplaced.

Many wavies (my past self included) expect our hair to dry and style like straight hair: smooth, uniform, predictable. That comparison is where most frustrations start.

Here’s what comes with truly accepting and learning your wavy hair:

➰ It’s not uniform - you’ll likely have a mix of curl patterns, and that’s normal.

➰ It’s poofy unstyled or brushed - the right techniques can transform the finish.

➰ It’s naturally frizzier than straight hair - textured strands grow in different directions, so some will always stick out (aka frizz).

➰ It challenges perfectionism - straightening creates control, but wavy hair rarely dries the same way twice. That’s part of its beauty.

Will it be a good curl day or a character building day?

My favorite and most trusted way to protect my hair while I sleep is with my hair in a banana clip and gently tucked into a satin bonnet. I simply couldn’t resist how adorable this strawberry 🍓one is!

Bag charms are trending, but I’m here for the unique look of an antique gold pin to match the vintage hardware on my speedy 25 .

🔑I also added the LV key to the pin as a holder instead of purchasing a clochette. The gold tones matched perfectly.

Styling for LOOSE beach waves 🌊

This video is all about elongated and creating an effortless look. Styling in damp hair with a heavier cream helps weigh my tighter waves and curls down. I then use a foam to create a soft, airy finish but with some hold.

Does the viral bounce curl brush actually work on looser curl patterns?

For me - yes! My mostly 2c hair loves this brush. I’ve found the trick is to apply product to wet hair (NOT soaking) and then brush to distribute the product, smooth wet frizz and form curl clumps. This gives me the BEST definition with minimal frizz.

Something about this styler combo just leaves my hair so shiny and silky. I live by the Ouidad advanced climate control line for the summer as it helps combat the most humid days.

I started this washday with a clean base by clarifying my hair to remove any product buildup. I then went back in to rehydrate my hair with a thick, creamy deep conditioner. This left me with perfectly primed hair to begin layering my leave-in and gel.

The rollercoaster of washday emotions.

This is my go-to lineup to combat humidity. The Ouidad advanced climate control gel combined with the crazy sexy curl foam is 🔥

Easy wavy hair routine with a focus on HUMIDITY! 🥵

These products work perfectly for hot, humid days. The Ouidad advanced climate control line was specifically designed for combating dew points, which the The Doux crazy sexy curl foam contains a very low amount of glycerin (which can draw moisture into the hair and cause it to inflate).

These are my go-to anti-humidity products for the summer months ☀️

Same products, different techniques. Which side do you prefer?

#wavycurly #wavyhairroutine #curlcare #curlyhairtips #wavyhairtips

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKStyleTip #LTKBeauty

Me: does it anyway.

So by all means…
➰Use one product or 7 in your routine
➰Take 30 mins or 2 hours to style
➰ Use products that cost $3 or $100+
➰ Scrunch, brush, air dry, diffuse, plop or even straighten if that’s what suits YOU.

No one should make you feel “less than” or “too much” for the hair you have to wear on YOUR head.
