We’ve all been there — you rock a bomb twistout, braidout, or even a wash-n-go and when you hit that third day, your curls could use some life. But there’s no need to re-do your hair all over again, when you can just give it a refresh!
When refreshing hair, it’s important to refresh it with water and use water based products. Water, especially in spray form, is great for getting your curls back —- but be careful not to use too much, or else your hair can get weighed down and take longer to dry. NaturallyCurly has rounded up our top 10 products under $15 that are great refreshers.
Water + Your favorite conditioner
Perhaps the easiest (and cheapest”> way to refresh your curls is with water and your favorite conditioner! All you need is a spray bottle — my personal favorite is XX, but any spray bottle will do. Just fill it up with water and one or two spoonfuls of your conditioner and spray it on your hair to revitalize your curls.
