With a change of seasons in the air, it’s a great time to try some new products. Enhance your waves without breaking the bank with this blend of old favorites and new finds. They’ll make your routine ready for Spring’s warmer and rainier weather.
Bioterra Alcohol-Free Defining Gel
I first found out about this gel from Curly Susie who swears by it for her wavy/curly hair. I had been reluctant to try it because it does contain a small amount of glycerin which my hair does not usually respond well to, however, once I finally did try it, I wished I’d done so sooner. It has a lightweight, watery consistency that is easy to apply and does not weigh down hair. It creates a soft gel cast that can easily be scrunched out to reveal soft, shiny, touchable curls and waves. I like to use it to finger-coil. I fill the cap with the gel, dip my index finger into the gel, and finger-coil wet, conditioned curl clumps. When I am finished with the curl clumps, I flip my head over and scrunch in any remaining product.
