Curl guide
Get the most from every curl visit
How to arrive, what to expect in the chair and simple habits that keep curls happy between appointments.
Before your appointment
- 01
How should I wear my hair to the appointment?
Clean, fully dry and down, styled the way you usually wear it. Seeing your curls as they really are is where every good curly cut begins.
- 02
Should I skip styling products?
Your usual light styling is perfect. On the day, skip heavy oils, dry shampoo and anything that leaves your curls stiff.
- 03
Can I come with my hair up?
Please avoid ponytails, buns and clips on the day — they leave kinks that hide your natural pattern.
- 04
What should I bring?
Photos of looks you love (and ones you don’t), plus the products you use now. It helps us plan a routine you’ll actually keep.
Wash-day basics
- Hydrate
- Condition every time you wash
- Define
- Style while hair is soaking wet
- Protect
- Satin or silk on your pillow
Curl care between visits
How often should I wash my curls?
It depends on your texture, scalp and routine — your stylist will suggest a wash rhythm that suits you.
How do I keep my curls defined for longer?
Apply your styler to soaking-wet hair, let it dry without touching (or diffuse on low), then gently scrunch out any stiffness.
How do I refresh curls on day two?
Mist with water, add a little leave-in where curls have dropped, scrunch and let them set. Sleeping on satin or silk helps too.
When should I book my next cut?
Every 8–12 weeks keeps most shapes looking fresh — sooner if you’re growing out a cut or color.
Time for a refresh?
Book your next shape-up before your curls lose their bounce — it takes about a minute.
