Curl Keeper Refresh is the latest invention from veteran Canadian hairdresser, who became obsessed with curls after giving a client a bad haircut. He made it his mission to figure out how to work with curly hair. He has spent more than two decades studying how curly hair looks when it’s wet and dry, how it shrinks and what makes it frizz. He uses The Curly Hair Institute, his Toronto salon, as a living laboratory for product development, finding out what his clients need and tweaking his formulas until they’re the best they can be.

Knowing that his clients needed a curl refresher, Torch worked hard to create the perfect formula. He wanted to offer something that superior to any other curl refresher on the market – a product that would make life easier for curly girls. The mix of ingredients in Curl Keeper Refresh revitalizes curls while offering hold to lock them in. It also neutralizes odor – a key benefit for curlies who like to work out.

Torch even put extra thought into the trigger and how it dispenses the product into the hair. The “mini trigger” is a step above a pump spray creates a fine-mist spray that distributes better.The unique formula of Curl Keeper Refresh reactivates with water, so simply re-wetting frizzy areas with wet hands can get you many fantastic frizz-free days between shampoos.
