How To Refresh Curly Hair Between Washes, Marisa’s Refresh

[@maxhr1749]

Definitely doesn’t look like 6 day hair! Looks great! You also have so much patience teaching us.

[@MarisasCurls]

Aw thank you 😊

[@emilyquick5407]

Thank you for this video. It has made the BIGGEST change for me! I'm currently on DAY 3 curls! I've never gotten that far and been happy with how my hair/curls looked and felt. Thank you so much for this!

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh that is absolutely amazing to hear!!! Thanks so much for telling me that. 😍😍 I’m so happy it works for you!

[@zareenakoch1165]

Your hair is curlier than mine at the start so i did not believe this would work. That plus i rarely refresh because it looks so bad afterwards. But i tried this today and Holy cow was i wrong! Day six and it looks really amazing. Thank you. This is life changing (or at least buys me 10-15 extra min in the am).

[@MarisasCurls]

Yay that’s amazing!

[@zareenakoch1165]

@@MarisasCurls and it lasted today too. Incredible!

[@elisabethmeyer521]

Learning to love my curls and I love this method to refresh. Spray bottles always left me a crown of frizz, so I used to rinse and diffuse every day to get volume back, but protecting my hair overnight plus your refresh has been my life saver both for my hair health and time saved! I'm on 2nd day hair and I know my 3rd day hair will look just as good considering how it's just as bouncy today as it was yesterday! And I feel good knowing that I haven't stripped my hair of moisture or used any more heat on it. Thank you for sharing this and helping a curly sister out!!

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh that’s amazing to hear!!! I’m so glad it works so well for you and thanks so much for sharing that with me! 😍

[@thatcouplerides]

I just used this method today using my homemade flaxseed gel and I am hooked!!! Now I don’t have to stress over how my hair looks first thing in the morning but can quickly do this refresh and know my hair will be dry before I leave for work!!! Thank you thank you 😍😍😍

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh yay! That’s amazing! Thanks so much for letting me know 😍

[@sabrasanwal4711]

Thank you, thank you! This is such a helpful tutorial because I also cannot just spray water onto my hair to refresh. The frizz is overwhelmingly horrid! I tried your refresh technique this morning and my hair's life has changed forever! Thank you :)

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh wow that’s absolutely amazing! I’m so glad it works for you 😍😍

[@pcherongirl]

Yay!! This worked super great for my day 4 hair! I've been struggling to find a good refresh routine, so thank you! 🙌

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh that’s brilliant to hear, I’m so glad!!

[@wendyrobinstark8904]

Omg! This is pretty much how I’ve been refreshing, but IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME TO DIFFUSE AFTER REFRESHING!!! A revelation 😮 I can’t wait to try that! Thank you!! 🙏🏻

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh I hope it might help. I don’t always diffuse afterwards but it definitely can give some extra volume 😃

[@wendyrobinstark8904]

Marisa’s Curls I’ll report back after my next refresh!

[@amykeffer9503]

THIS makes sense to me. (And I am so tickled by the sound of the little ones in the background. So sweet.)

[@MarisasCurls]

Aw thank you!

[@XandraK10]

Great method to refresh curls. Tried loads of products and techniques this is the best. Thank you😜

[@irairod5160]

I loved your technique. I'll try it for my next refresh, because now that temperatures are over 90F where I live, every time I spritz my hair with a bottle, it puffs up and looks angry. Thank you for sharing this!

[@MarisasCurls]

You are very welcome. I really hope it works for you

[@beckylloyd4337]

This is THE BEST way I’ve been able to refresh!! I can get to day four consistently. Thanks for sharing!

[@MarisasCurls]

That’s awesome, thanks so much for your comment!!! 😍

[@Irishrainy]

Me too! I finally found something that works to refresh my hair! Today’s day 3 and it looks better than day 1!

[@MarisasCurls]

That’s brilliant!! So glad.

[@kellyv3448]

Day 6?! Mind blown! I am going to have to try this technique on my chin length hair. TY

[@MarisasCurls]

Can’t wait to hear how it works out for you!

[@laurievosetropicskincaream2021]

Always up for refresh help. Look at how great your curls look and how amazing they are now!

[@MarisasCurls]

Aw thank you!!

[@kimsteele2601]

Your technique has been a total game changer for my daily refresh! Thank you!

[@MarisasCurls]

I’m so glad 😍

[@christyburke7079]

Thank You for sharing 🥰!! Definitely going to try. On second day hair. I am about 1 1/2 months in on my curly girl method

[@MarisasCurls]

Amazing I hope it works for you!

[@jayhulrs1435]

I usually completely soak my hair to refresh. I am trying this! It could save so much time

[@MarisasCurls]

It really does save time and so much less frizz than if you use a spray bottle. 😊 I hope it works for you!

[@robynklatt9424]

Is this only good if you have fine or loose curls?

[@MarisasCurls]

No it can work for any curl pattern

[@robynklatt9424]

I tried this refresh this morning and was pleasantly surprised. I was fully expecting today to be a wash day. But it worked great. I don’t use that gel but used AG Recoil curl cream. Diffuser and happy. So glad I watched and tried this. I normally wind up soaking my hair on refresh for fear of frizz. Yay! Easy refresh.

[@MarisasCurls]

That’s amazing! I’m so glad!

[@emmieluewho3988]

I love you & your videos. Thank you for making a chanel! Your voice is seriously so nice, can you sing?? everyone else I watch for hair tips, is loud and crazy and sarcastic. You are a genuine jem 💎

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh thank you so so much for such lovely words! That means so much to me

[@heathertrotter8069]

Must try this. I agree spraying down with spray bottle makes frizz worse.

[@StephanieThayerSTL]

Game changer! Thanks so much for this method! Infinitely better than the frizzy mess I got from the spray bottle technique 😂

[@MarisasCurls]

Yay I’m so glad it works for you!!

[@veronicacoates8832]

I will definitely be trying this method for refresh! I always get frizz on refresh days.

[@MarisasCurls]

I hope it works well for you!!

[@suenolan3689]

love it Marissa. I've been doing your aloe refresh the last 2 months and it's working so well. thanks !

[@MarisasCurls]

Sue Nolan that’s fantastic! I’m so glad it’s working out for you!!!

[@karenkeeling4874]

Sue Nolan do you use aloe instead of gel or both?

[@ivoryandgold88]

Yay! Don't have to buy a spray bottle which I keep forgetting to do. I will definitely try this. I have the same problem with the front section not wanting to curl as well as the rest of my hair. Thanks! Your curls are lovely, BTW. 💚 I subbed.

[@MarisasCurls]

Thanks so much!!!

[@asiaws4962]

Wow! I have never had a refresh work for me until this ❤️ Thank you!

[@MarisasCurls]

I hope it works for you!!!

[@fleurbirnie]

Watched this video for so many times! Everytime I wanna try smt new or smt I havent tried in a while. Love this technique. The cupping does not work that well for me but a little bit ‘harder’ scrunch does the trick 🤗. Thank youu!

[@MarisasCurls]

So glad it works for you!

[@krissiebooker8525]

This method looks amazing and so easy! I’m for sure gonna try this, I tried spraying with water and using spray curl reactivator but my hair was still so frizzy x

[@MarisasCurls]

Not spraying can make a massive difference!

[@karenkeeling4874]

Your hair looks awesome. I must try this method as I haven’t been having any success with refresh

[@MarisasCurls]

I hope it works out for you!

[@jeanettewilhelm8464]

Day 6? Lucky you, my hair is oily on day 3🙈. I can't even do the cowash, it makes my hair a greasy mess. I have similar curls to yours, just much less hair. Thank you for this, I will try it 🤗

[@jodavies572]

Day 6? I can only dream 🤣😍

[@MarisasCurls]

😍😍

[@sarafwolf]

What shampoo and conditioner do you use?

[@joycegonsalves8151]

Day 6? my hair is like this the next day after I have washed it 😔

[@tlst0ner658]

Very pretty. I have never been successul with a refresh so I will try this Aussie product and see how it goes!

[@MarisasCurls]

I hope it works for you!

[@sherryolson4516]

This is a game changer!! I just found you and am going to start watching all of your videos! I have trouble with my roots on refresh days. I noticed your hair was more voluminous after you diffused. Did you refresh your roots? If so, how? Thanks again! I appreciate your tips so much!

[@MarisasCurls]

Aw thanks so much!! I didn’t do anything to my roots other than what you see on the video but on this occasion I did flip my part which really helps with volume.

[@stephaniemiller3586]

This is one of my favorite refreshes!

[@MarisasCurls]

Yay! 😊

[@julianhyde1645]

“Because my hands are massive.” 😂 awesome tutorial. Thanks!

[@MarisasCurls]

🤣 I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

[@bestlovecoach]

Thank you so much for this video. This is the only refresh routine that has worked for my fine textured curly-wavy hair. I tried it with a little aloe vera gel and my hair looked better than it ever has after refreshing. I love that you don’t have to saturate your entire head of hair with water. I read in the comments that you have a video showing how you use aloe. Can you post the link please?😊

[@MarisasCurls]

Hi! I’m so glad that it works for you!! I honestly can’t remember a video showing how I use aloe, I used to use it to refresh exactly like I do in this video, I just used the aloe gel instead of this Aussie gel

[@bestlovecoach]

@@MarisasCurls thanks for letting me know! So happy that aloe is a great option if I don’t want to use gel or leave-in conditioner.

Brilliant. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow morning.

I'm in week 2 of my CG journey and I LOVE your videos. I'll definitely be trying your wash day routine today. I'd love to see some of your hair progress/before and after CG, I need help in staying motivated because my hair is in transition and not looking great. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on Jessicurl products as I've just bought some. I think I have 2C, fine, high porosity hair. Thanks for your amazing content. X

[@GorgeousB1986]

Seems like a great refresh. I wonder if this would work on wavy hair too. I'm thinking it might just make my hair straight! Worth giving it a go though :) Thanks x

[@MarisasCurls]

Hi! It definitely works on wavy hair too. Are you on Instagram at all? If you do a search for #marisasrefresh you will see hundreds of posts from curlies and wavies who use this refresh method with great results. 😊 I hope it works for you too!

Thank you thank you thank you!! This worked so great for my hair!!!

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh I’m so happy to hear that!!

[@lovechilld9548]

Looks great. Could you do a video on how you diffuse with this technique? Thank you!-

[@MarisasCurls]

I literally just do a quick upside down diffuse for a couple of minutes. I have a video showing how I diffuse on washday. 😊

[@kellsbells99]

This looks great and going to try it on my next refresh. Can I ask how you remove tangles? Mine always has loads.

I hope it works out for you! I don’t detangle unless it’s washday 😊

[@MarisasCurls]

I don’t have naturally oily hair thankfully and by cowashing my scalp has adjusted and makes less oil now

[@jessicaxepatton9453]

I tend to get tangles in my hair, especially the under layer in the back of my hair. Do you still do the refresh the same way and leave the tangles or is there a way to get help remove the tangles while still being able to do a refresh?

[@MarisasCurls]

If the tangles are bad I would gently finger detangle them before refreshing

[@haliamariex5712]

I don’t really refresh like this often but yes you can do this as often as you like between washes 😃

[@miamanuella73]

Great routine 👍 will this method also work for low perosity hair or will I have to wet it more down with hot water before applying products? Thank you 🙏😀

[@MarisasCurls]

I think it will still work fine, just be careful not to use too much product and use something light 😊

[@Mighty_boo]

This is great. Thanks 😊 Please can you tell me if a cast forms again, do you crunch it out or do you literally use the gel, diffuse and leave? X

[@MarisasCurls]

Yes I scrunch out the cast again 😊

[@amandadarley2482]

Hi - I hope you’re still checking comments on this vid as I realise it’s quite old now! Question - did you scrunch the gel out after diffusing? (I know you don’t use this method anymore! But it seems to have brought my curls back quite well, but it looks a bit gel-y. But worried it’ll frizz if I scrunch it out). Thank you 😊

[@MarisasCurls]

H! Yes I did/do scrunch it out gently. I do still do this occasionally but more often that not I don’t refresh at all or do a dry refresh. So glad it seems to have worked for you!

[@amandadarley2482]

Thanks Marisa

[@dilligafkitti]

Do you add product every single day? Doesn't it become very producty by day 3, 4 or 5?

[@MarisasCurls]

I don’t, i fact I hardly ever refresh my hair. If I do then I only do it once in a week. However I know some curlies do refresh every day.

[@paulineblair5654]

[@MarisasCurls]

Hi! I actually don’t refresh very often. Some weeks not at all. And sometimes I just add a little leave in or curl cream without any water at all.

[@mariamgabergowily2830]

@@MarisasCurls thank you so much your videos are really helpful❤️

[@TheIngedepinge]

So do you do this every day until you wash your hair again? Applying a little bit of gel in your hair every day?

[@MarisasCurls]

I don’t, I don’t often refresh. But you absolutely can if you want to

[@simplyamandashomesteadsampler]

Ty for this! Do you find that using a harder hold gel helps refreshing last longer? Blessings!

[@MarisasCurls]

Not particularly, and some hard hold gels can be a bit strong for refreshing with. It’s just a case of trial and error 😄

[@cindybeatty4596]

My hair is longer than yours and curly/wavy. Bc I live in a tent, I usually only get a shower a week in the winter. So, I either straighten my hair with a flat iron or try to refresh my curls. Every product that I put in my hair leaves my hair sticky and I hate that! I've used Cantu curl revitilizer or Garnier Fructis curl defining gel. Can u recommend something?? Please??

[@MarisasCurls]

Do you mean something to refresh with? I love a dry refresh with either a curl cream like the Noughty Wave Hello Taming Cream (MARISASCURLS25 gets you 25% off their site) or a dry mousse refresh or Treluxe Reflex serum. I have videos on here showing both the dry mousse refresh and the dry refresh with the Treluxe serum

[@cindybeatty4596]

@@MarisasCurls Yes. Something to refresh my curls. Thank you for getting back to me. A lot of women who I've talked with recommend a mousse product like you have. I just don't want that stickiness in my hair. Thank you so much again for letting me know what you have used & what has worked for you! I'll try anything right about now! 😀

[@eleseburridge3346]

I’m new to the CG method and I have to wear my hair up for work how do I manage the kinks that come from this 😫 do you have any tips for surviving the transition phase? I’m dying hahah

If you use an invisibobble or a puff cuff you won’t get any kinks when you take it back down. 😊

[@jaimie2081]

haha wow i really have been treating my curls horribly! but just wondering, what do you recommend for days in between washing? I usually rinse my hair between washes but i'm thinking that maybe contributes to my frizz. should i use a shower cap instead? i'd love to hear your opinion!

[@MarisasCurls]

This video that you commented on is what I would recommend you try in between washes. It’s a refresh for your curls. Yes a shower cap is a good idea

[@72loobs]

I have seen this for the first time. When you diffused at the end did you do it upside down or upright? Thanks

[@MarisasCurls]

Oh I have no idea it was so long ago but I probably flipped my head all ways 😃

[@tracyverberkmoes4818]

Is that cruelty free?

[@christinacamonayan5260]

I typically refresh this way too. I find my hair tends to feel dry and gets kind of stringy afterwards though. Any tips on how to fix this? Am I just using improper products?

[@MarisasCurls]

Maybe try the same thing with a tiny bit of curl cream or a lighter hold gel?

[@prachiprakhar4042]

Can this work without diffusing?cuz I don't have one

[@MarisasCurls]

Yes absolutely!

[@jessicanijboer7130]

Can I do it with antoher leave in conditioner?

[@MarisasCurls]

Yes absolutely

[@moniquegebeline4350]

When I finger curl mine go straight or look weird 😭

[@MarisasCurls]

You can do the the rest of the refresh technique without doing the finger coiling part. I don’t always do that bit either. 😊

[@moniquegebeline4350]

Marisa’s Curls we have similar curl pattern and hair texture! For the most part they’ve been cooperating it’s just those darn side bangs and front pieces that tend to want to go wonky on me 😁😁🤪 I’m definitely gonna try that gel I’m using deva light now. Just got the be curly line from aveda (I don’t know if it’s CG or not) but it’s been the best for me so far! Love the video you’re beautiful!
