DRY BRUSH REFRESH TUTORIAL: Restore Volume & Definition to Stretched Out Curls | Ft. Cake Beauty

[@Detroit-Jen]

This makes me feel better because there are days I dry brush to refresh and spray with water.

[@dindranew.6808]

No product, just water?

[@traciwheeler2077]

Cake refresh spray worked great for me. Love their curl cream and just purchased the gel!!! Want to try the cake oil but was sold out.

[@hugafan]

Just did this and it worked so well! I’ve been struggling with refreshes past day 2 so this was a game changer after a workout.

[@lindag1762]

Angela, you’re the best!

[@staciphelps4034]

Love this! Has been awhile since I’ve seen something new in the curly girl world! Can’t wait to try this! I’d love to also know more about your layered cut…

[@xoxoSQxoxo]

The dry refresh worked awesome on my fine curly hair! Thankyou!

[@elizabeththeriot4823]

Great refresh!! I'm at the beginning of embracing my curls journey again LOL Last year, (due to some health issues), I lost all my hair 😢 Happily, it has come back with even more curl!! It is finally thick and full again. Although still not shoulder length. My hair tends to get bushy instead of long. Before my illness, my hair was the longest it had ever been in my 58 years and I was in love with it. As you can imagine, it was heart breaking to have lost it 💔 I have auburn hair. When I was little, I had fore engine red, unruly hair. As I aged it became a beautiful auburn. Now, I have to help it along to keep its color 🤫 I told you all this to say, thank you! I have been watching so many videos and I relate to yours most!! I am in the process of training my curls. I will be referring to your videos along the way! Thank you! Stay safe ❤ Be Blessed 🙏 ~Beth~

[@TheFitCurls]

Great refresh, but honestly your before hair was gorgeous also! 😍

Awww shucks 🥰

[@helenl7967]

New info I will definitely try. Thanks.

Somehow I missed this video. Wow! What a difference. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@TheFitCurls]

My pleasure - thanks for watching!!

[@romykruse6266]

Super nice results lady! Ok I'm running to get that refresh spray. Thank you!!!

[@TheFitCurls]

It’s SO LOVELY!! I hope you enjoy it too!

[@tamarastreich6495]

Thank you so much! IAM having a time with next day hair, going to try everything! I to color my hair so hopefully cake 🎂 will help too

[@ashleyball3455]

Yes!!!!! I needed help with refresh and this was great!!!

[@TheFitCurls]

So happy I could help!!

[@karamiller8270]

I'm anxious to try this out! Can you explain why you diffused "backwards" with the refresh? You were very clear in pointing it out - lengths first, then roots - but you didn't say why this works better. Would love to know. Thanks!

[@cindyfarrell817]

Fabulous! I love your process and product recommendations. 💜☮️

[@lisabeckman6581]

I do the exact same refresh w the behairful brush. I practiced many times on wash day 2-3 hours before I showered in case my hair didn’t like this kind of refresh. With another Florida summer starting soon (usually mid-late March) I need to have plans in place so I don’t have to wash more than 2x a week.

[@TheFitCurls]

SMART, so smart! I have family in FL and that heat/humidity is no joke 🥵

[@dindranew.6808]

Gorgeous! Though your "not working" before is more like my "after." :p I'm so happy with that new Cake product also!

[@juliegaillard1209]

Love this! Will Definately be trying technique and products!

[@sherilynschneider]

So happy to get this process idea. Gonna give it a try. Thx so much!

[@TheFitCurls]

My pleasure!

[@GamingWithMus]

I didn't know this was a thing. I do this all the time since I was teenager. Am 41 now lol. My hair loves it and looks amazing.

[@Æley-Cat]

Cake beauty needs to sponsor you

[@TheFitCurls]

From your lips to their ears!! 🤞🏻🙏🏻🍰💕

[@mae1513]

Definitely interested in the spray except I think my hair seems to get sensitive to protein easily. Is this a harsher protein that those sensitive to protein overload should avoid or is that something I could only figure out by trying?

[@TheFitCurls]

Oat protein (and hydrolyzed plant proteins in general) is a larger protein molecule so if you’re really sensitive it may be one to avoid. The only thing I can say is that the product is very balanced with moisture! It does soften the hair very well so I don’t think it would throw anyone into protein overload.

[@linziesantana4748]

This is pretty genius. I really need to get the behairful brush like ASAP. My hair is dense so the idea of dry brushing usually makes me cringe but that brush looks like it could do the job 🤗 Also ALLIGATOR CLIPS! Lol. They didn’t have them at my local beauty supply store so I might have to look online

[@TheFitCurls]

Could I call them “blow dry clips”? Yes, but alligator is more catchy 😂 I got mine from Ulta!

[@InjectSomeCommonSense]

Would LOVE to see you do a review of XMONDO !!

[@TheFitCurls]

I’ve certainly heard a lot of hype!! Hook a girl up, Brad!! 😂

[@taniyabose001]

I do this too.. good to know that I am not doing anything crazy 😀😀

[@TheFitCurls]

Sane as can be! 😂

[@gabbyramirez8822]

I love it!

[@TheFitCurls]

Thank you!!!

[@staca.4727]

Definitely going to give it a try. My hair has gone insane and NOTHING is working.

[@TheFitCurls]

Let me know how it goes!

[@JM-vj2sx]

My curl reviving spray is not spraying like yours. The contents of the bottle looks like a thick curl cream. Is it supposed to? Any suggestions?

[@Floridameerkat93]

Will you be posting a review of any of the new Cake Beauty products? Some of them look like they're part of the same line the mousse and curl cream are part of.

[@TheFitCurls]

I sure as heck hope to be able to share a review! Stay tuned :)

[@deanneolinger1396]

Love your videos. I am just starting this journey. I have fine hair and it’s bob length.. letting it grow out. I did my wash day but it seemed like it took Forever to dry. I don’t have tons of time with work during weekdays, .. how long does your dry routine generally take, or your entire wash day routine? I could do at night but concerned all my efforts will be squashed so to speak.

[@DianaMirelly]

What does it mean to you to emulsify?

[@bethhuling693]

Love your tips and product info! I’m just getting started with the natural curly method and my denman brush (9 rows)catches in my hair… absolutely no slip. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

[@Gigiianvito]

Really wanna try this technique but my oily scalp couldn’t last that long

[@agnieszkak1178]

Love it 😍

[@TheFitCurls]

Thank you!!! 💛

[@simplycurlyde]

I tried the refresh spray on my hair dry, did not like the way it felt on my hair. I didn't want to throw it away, so next refresh, I will try it on damp hair.

[@TheFitCurls]

I find that if you don’t like “refresh sprays” they make great leave-in conditioners!

[@simplycurlyde]

@@TheFitCurls Good to know, thanks.

[@marshagb55]

Do you have to use that brush?

[@imajenn3006]

Would love to see you do a Denman the way the site says (it's really obscure). "To enhancurks till end under while wet" I section my hair like you do but using the Denman HORIZONTALLY, parallel with the floor. You still curl under halfway down strands. I do that on whole head & shake my head & gentle scruch between sections. I do exactly like you. Since clumps naturally aren't all in same direction like vertical sections do, it lets the could spiral in their natural direction. I do it with all product in, but you could do cream and scrunch gel or mousse.. I gave up my Denman for a Scrunchit brush. I have no idea why there are not blowing up. It's like Denman & Behairful &curler had a baby with a finger coiling tail. You know you you wrap your Denman around the handle? Well this handle is meant to do that! You can also use it just like the Denman too, but the boar hair (like Behairful) smooths out friz. This 'new' finger coils that are blowing up til tok? The handle is made for those in a weensy amount if the time. (I have no affiliation with Scrunchit).

[@P3ncilVR]

Do you always Pixie first then hover?

[@TheFitCurls]

Nope! Only when I do a damp refresh like this 😂 I have a whole diffusing technique video for how I do it on wash day!

[@nu2280]

My cake spray does not come out in a fine mist like that. It’s a clumpy mess of a spray

[@MarcP5267]

Would the Wet Brush work?

[@whatwendylikes]

Probably so, if you like that brush for your hair. I bought the behairful brush and I am not impressed at all. I have tried every brush ever I'm pretty sure and my absolute favorite is Tangle Teezer. Just go with what works for you!

[@TheFitCurls]

Here’s the thing - the Wet Brush is meant to be used on wet hair. So I honestly have no idea how it would work to dry detangle. You can try it! Just be very verrrrry gentle as you work from your ends to your roots.

[@ashleybuckmaster6630]

Yes, a wet brush will work. I use more than one kind of detangling brush to dry refresh.

[@VengefulAngeI]

I really wanted to try Cake products, & almost bought them online at Ulta so many different times, but was scared I wouldn't like the smell. The online reviews either loved or hated it. Then one day I saw them at Walgreens, and took a whiff....🤢 turns out I'm in the camp that thinks it has a lemon pledge smell. Some smell like a lemon cake. Does the smell linger?

[@TheFitCurls]

With the styling products, the smell doesn’t linger in my experience. What lasts is just a light sweetness. I find it incredibly pleasant but to each their own!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

I would love to try this but my hair is so damaged I’m afraid I’ll end up with a pile of frizz and stringy pieces. I saw you finger-coiled your entire head as well.

[@TheFitCurls]

If your hair is super damaged, stick with a less invasive refresh! I have a couple other refresh technique videos that are lighter and don’t involve the riskier dry detangling!

[@pameladearing2969]

Apparently some people have received their order of a Behairful brush-but my personal experience with them was dreadful. I placed an order on November 13, 2020 and never received the brush into January. I did email and was told that if I could wait a little longer, they would credit 20% to my purchase card. I waited-no credit and no brush. So then I told them to just cancel my order and issue me a refund. Although they sent screenshots of a refund, I did not get one. Repeated attempts were of no use. I eventually had to dispute the charge with my bank, which is ongoing. Just my own awful experience....

[@robynklatt7344]

Is Cake CG approved? I see the entire line all over.

[@TheFitCurls]

Some of their products are, some aren’t - I don’t follow the CGM so I just read the ingredient lists looking for stuff my hair likes 😊
