6 Tips To Perfect Bouncy Spring Curls

I am a bit unlucky when it comes to having curly, straight, wavy, frizzy, you name it hair! I have it all! My hair is pretty crazy and confused. If only I had 6 Tips To Perfect Bouncy Spring Curls! Oh, wait. I do!!!!! Keep reading to find how to get the BEST beach waves and springy curls! 

Some days, I would like to wear my hair curly, but only parts of it will be curly because the top layer of my hair towards the front likes to be stick straight :/  

So, if I want to wear my hair curly or mermaid wavy hair, I have to curl those pieces to match. Otherwise, I just go the flat iron route and smooth it all down to get that sleek look. Both styles take time, of course!

Must-Have Products For Perfect Bouncy Spring Curls!

I received some products from ABBA to see if they would help with my curly/straight hair problems. I love the scent of these products. Very clean smelling (except the curl finish spray and gel, they have no scent), and after my hair has dried, my hair still smells amazing! Love that.

The ABBA Hair Care Products I Received:

ABBA Pure Performance Smoothing Blow Dry Lotion

I put the ABBA Pure Performance Smoothing Blow Dry Lotion in my hair when my hair is wet. It goes in nicely and leaves my hair fresh smelling.

It is lightweight and when my hair dries, it has a nice sheen to it. Once hair is blow dried, you can add a little more for finishing touches! 

ABBA Pure Performance Curl Prep Spray

The ABBA Pure Performance Curl Prep Spray allows you to create a shape to your curls and adds life to dehydrated naturally curly or permed hair.

Just spray it on wet/damp hair and scrunch your hair a bit or use with a hair diffuser. In case you did not know, a hair diffuser is a blow dryer attachment with prongs and vents that disperses airflow to gently dry hair.

This helps to add volume and definition to your curls while also reducing frizz! I really liked how it defined the curls that I do have! So pretty and natural looking!

ABBA Curl Finish Spray

This ABBA Curl Finish Spray HOLDS your hair and it holds it GOOD!! You don’t need much to get that hold either. Creates a firm, durable hold on all hair types. To use it, just mist evenly over finished style.

*Quick Tip: For a wet look, use ABBA Volume Gel, comb into style and finish with the spray! 

ABBA Style Gel

The ABBA Style Gel adds curls to your hair and allows you to easily style your curls without the crunchy feeling. My hair was still very manageable after using this gel. Apply evenly through damp hair. Style as desired.

*Quick Tip: To create waves in long, layered hair, dry with a diffuser. 

6 Tips To Perfect Bouncy Spring Curls

Alright, let’s get those curls popping ✨ here are 6 real-life tips that actually help with springy, bouncy curls (no magic wand required):

1.) Start with soaking-wet hair!

The correct use of your towel after washing your hair is important for getting beautiful curls.  Never rub the towel on your hair but rather blot it or wrap it up so it can absorb the moisture without disrupting the hair.

Once your hair is almost dry, then you can comb through your strands. Always use a large, wide-tooth comb to eliminate any knots and only comb damp hair. You never want to comb through soaking wet hair because it will stretch your hair and break it!

2.) Use the right products for your curls

Apply your curl cream or gel when your hair is still a bit damp. This helps lock in moisture and keeps curls from getting frizzy and sad-looking later.

Smooth and coat the hair shaft so your curls won’t frizz as they dry. Apply ABBA Pure Performance Smoothing Blow Dry Lotion from root to ends by running your hands through your hair. This will add weight and silkiness to the shaft,  controlling the frizz and adding tremendous shine to your hair!

*Quick Tip: If your curls feel crunchy, you used too much or the wrong product.

3.) Scrunch like you mean it!

Flip your head and scrunch upward toward your scalp. This helps curls form their natural shape and gives them that springy bounce look instead of limp-looking waves.

Next, you enhance and then seal the curl by using the ABBA Pure Performance Curl Prep Spray. It works to promote your curl definition. Just mist this on as you scrunch the hair from the ends up to the root with your palms facing upward, adding a bit more bounce to the natural curl.

Add a small amount of gel to the hair and scrunch it in to help hold the curl. These layers of product work really well together to help create the perfect springy, textured curls.

4.) Don’t touch your hair while it dries

This is hard, but touching your wet hair as it is trying to dry most usually will equal frizz. So, let your hair completely air dry. You can also use a diffuser to help dry your hair and define your curls. Just keep those hands off, until it’s fully dry. Your curls will thank you!

*Quick Tip: If you do decide to diffuse your hair just remember to diffuse on low heat and speed. High heat can flatten curls and cause frizziness, instead of the springy bouncy curls you are going for.

5.) Scrunch out the crunch!

Once your hair is 100% dry, gently scrunch out any crunchy gel cast or spray with your hands. Move your hands over your hair as you have your head upside down so your hair is hanging, and kind of give your head a shake, then flip it up!

6.) Sleep smart to protect your curls

Use a satin or silk pillowcase, or sleep with your hair in a loose bun on the top of your head. I absolutely LOVE the pillowcases from Kitsch!

They also have satin sleep bonnets, and sleep scrunchies. This will help to cut down on frizz and keeps your curls bouncy instead of smashed, frizzy, and flat by morning!

Hopefully, by following the tips above, us curly haired girls will now have a way to help tame those pretty, springy, bouncy curls! Yay!!!
