Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel. Today I thought I'd show you a really quick, simple refresh routine. It's my most used refresh. I typically do it on a day two or three. Today is day three or four here. I can't remember because I did wash now, star later a few days ago, and I've got all modeled up with my days, but yeah, I wanted to share this refresh routine with you. So let's go ahead. By the way, how cute is this jumper that I'm wearing? It says Wonky Curve Club, and it was designed by Marisa's Curls and my curl friend that I've on Instagram and YouTube. I'll put a link in the description bar for you because I just think it's so cute. So usually before I refresh my hair, I like to assess my hair and see what it needs. So at the moment, I can see that I have some frizz going on. My hair's feeling very soft. If I run my hands down, while it does have product in it, I can feel that it feels quite soft. So that's a sign that it needs a little bit more hold in my hair. But generally, I've got some separated curls. I do still have some curl clumps lasting, but generally it just needs a bit of hold, I would say, but it's not too bad for a day three considering I haven't refreshed it. Today I'm going to refresh with the Umberto Genini curl jelly refresh. I really love this stuff, as you can see. I use it all the time. The reason that I really like it is because it's very lightweight. It doesn't weigh my curls down on a refresh day, because when I refresh my hair, I already have product in my hair. I don't always want to use loads more product. I don't always want to use a thick gel. I would say it's probably like to medium hold, but because I already have product in my hair, they're already adding hold to my hair anyway, and then when I refresh, it will reactivate the products in my hair and add a little bit more hold with this. However, if I were, for example, going to an event or I knew that I was going to be going outside in the elements and I wanted my hair to last, then I would probably use a stronger hold gel. So a couple of my favourite stronghold gels are the Kelsmiff Shine Gel and the Kelsmiff In-Shower Style Fixer. Both of these I would refresh with. I just put a little bit of product in my hand first and then I mix it with water and I just literally mix it in my hands like this until it goes into a jelly-like consistency and then I'll glaze over my hair. So that's what I would do if I wanted to do more hold, but if my hair, for example, was feeling very dry and stringy at the ends, not clumping up, then I would use a curl cream and I would focus it mainly on my ends. Sometimes I do that between wash days. If my ends aren't clumping up, I'll take a bit of the Kelsmiff Hull Me Softly Style Barn. This is my favourite for juicy ringlits. I would just take a small amount of this in my hands, mix it together with a bit of water or spray my ends and then I'll just scrunch it into my ends and I really find that that helps bring my cumps back and then if your hair is dry and you feel like you need a bit of free control, you can just take the excess and just glaze it over your hair and that will really help. You can also take individual curl clumps and just finger coil and your cumps will come back to life. So yeah, there's lots and lots of options when it comes to refreshing. I will do another video, a more in-depth video of different refresh techniques because I do think that I need to do an updated one. So let's get on with the refresh. I'm not going to bother sectioning my hair for this refresh. You can see that I do have some really good curl clumps still left in. It's just a little bit frizzy and needs a bit more hold. So I'm just going to make this a really quick refresh. I'm going to part my hair to the side because that's how I like to have my hair when it's down. I feel like it looks a bit more full. I'm just going to sort of do like a glazing, detangling motion. I'm not really sure what to call it, but this is kind of helping to detangle my hair a little bit. It's also going to help smooth some of frizz and since I'm going to be adding product anyway, doesn't matter if I disrupt my curls too much, just do the same on the other side. I don't always do this. I don't generally detangle my hair on a refresh like properly detangle because I just find what's the point? It takes too long. But if your hair is really really naughty, then I would recommend detangling it at least a little bit because otherwise it's just going to build up when you get to wash day and then it's just going to be absolutely chaos when it comes to detangle your hair. So first I'm just going to wet my hair. And I'm not like completely saturating it so it's soaking wet. It's just damp. But I'm just making sure that like it's wet enough that I can smooth my frizz down. I absolutely love these Mr Spray Bottles. This is a new one that I got from Bounce Curl. So my hair is wet, not dripping, a little bit more than damp. The wetter it is, the longer it's going to take to dry. You don't even have to wet your hair especially with a product like this. You could literally just put this directly onto your hair. You might even get to this point and fill your hair and think actually it doesn't need any more product. Actually I could just get away with diffusing and if that's the case then do that. You don't want the refresh to ruin your curls. You want it to make your curls look better. That's a whole point of it. So yeah I'm just going to add a little bit of the curl jelly refresh spray. I think I do about eight pumps. Yeah, I do about six to eight pumps. Spray it in my hand, mix it together and just glaze it over. This is the consistency of it. It's very lightweight. It's basically a water-down version of the gel I would say but it really really brings my curls back. It really helps my clumps come back. It just adds just the right amount of hold for me on a refresh and yeah I just really like it. So yeah I'm just basically glazing pull it over and scrunching it in. You can really see my curls coming back. If you're finding that your hair is a bit like stringy in some places then make it a bit wetter. You don't have to completely saturate all of your hair but in some areas like the ends for me. Sometimes they just respond a bit wet, a bit better to be in a bit wetter when I'm refreshing. Just giving them a little praying hands method and a little scrunch. Okay now I'm going to diffuse my hair. So I'm using the shark style IQ diffuser. I bought this about a year ago and I really really like it. I have shared about it in other video I believe. So I'm going to use a medium speed on the fan and a low heat which is more of a medium heat on this dryer but you can also use the cool shot if you want to. Other side. Okay so this is pretty much dry now and these are my refresh results. So I just find that like the quickest refresh and I do get a bit more freeze but I also get volume of the freeze because it's functional freeze and I just love the way that my ringlets bounce back together. The diffuser is what takes the longest amount of time. The wetter your hair is when you refresh obviously the longer it's going to take to dry then longer it's going to take to diffuse. So if you want a faster diffusing time then either don't wet your hair at all with this one you really like you can actually get away from not wetting your hair. Sometimes I'll actually put a bit of the product this product in my hand with a bit of water to emulsify it even more and then like there's water in my hands and then I just glaze it over and scrunch. I'm just going to scrunch my hair and give it a little fluff to show you like the full refresh result. I am pretty happy with this for a day three refresh. I'm pretty pretty happy with it to be honest. It's much fuller, it's much more defined. I've got some really good definition back in there. I've got my bounce back. I've got some really nice clumps underneath. It's not perfect but you know it's just a really quick refresh. I just wanted to glaze a bit of product more to over diffuse it and go.
