Finding the balance

Product + Water

Water is key to helping the formula absorb fully and to sculpt the curls with ease. Curljar is best applied on clean, wet hair. Keep your hair wet while you style to maintain control. Between wash days, simply refresh your curls with a spritz of water and a touch of diluted product to reset your styling routine.

STEP 1

Good Wash

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

STEP 2

Section Layers

Product distribution is key! Divide your hair into manageable parts. 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 & Coat

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

STEP 4

Scrunch to End

To encourage curl formation, volume, and bounce, always finish your styling routine with a 'squelching' scrunch. Make sure enough water is still in the hair for this step. Squeeze 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 out to break the cast. This releases their natural shape and activates softness + volume. You can now enjoy lasting curls that look and feel healthy.

Popular Questions, Answered.

My hair isn’t absorbing the product - what am I doing wrong?

A: For best results, your hair should be wet when applying styling product. Towel-dried, damp after 15 minutes, or dry hair won’t absorb the product properly. Right after your shower, squeeze out any excess water so you’re not losing product to dripping, and apply evenly through wet hair.
Why is the balance of water and Curl Jar product so important?

A: The magic of Curljar comes from the perfect balance of water and product. Water helps the product spread evenly and allows curls to fully absorb and take shape. Too little water, and the product can’t do its work; too much, and it won’t hold. Applying to wet hair ensures every curl is coated, activated, and ready for effortless definition.
How should I apply the product to my hair?

A: Apply an even coat of product through your hair. Think of it like painting varnish: smooth, light layers gives the best results. A brush can help distribute product well and encourage curls patterns to effortlessly shape without weighing them down. Avoid clumps or heavy layering - less is more!
My hair isn’t curling like I want - what should I do?

A: Some curls need a little encouragement. Try manipulating tricky sections with finger twists while your hair is still wet and coated with product. Gently twist small sections around your fingers to help define and shape the curl, then let it air dry or diffuse. This technique works wonders for stubborn curls and helps create a uniform, bouncy look.
