How to Use the Flower Curl
The Flower Curl is a patented, award-winning heatless curler you set in dry hair before bed and unravel the next morning, with no heat and no damage. It takes just a few minutes to put in, it is soft enough to sleep in, and you wake up to soft, bouncy curls. Here is how to use it, step by step,
Before you start
The Flower Curl comes in two versions: a four-ring version for fine to medium hair, and a five-ring version for thick hair.
The rings can be detached to suit your hair thickness and the volume of curls you are after. Experiment with the curler and see what works for you. You can use the Flower Curl with either 2 rings, 3 rings, 4 rings or 5 rings.
It is made from soft, lightweight foam that sits across the top of your scalp, so you can roll from side to side in your sleep without it getting in the way. It works on armpit, mid-back and waist-length hair.
How to use the Flower Curl, step by step
1. Start with dry, brushed hair. Use the Flower Curl on completely dry, tangle-free hair. Second-day hair is ideal, as it makes sure there is no leftover moisture from washing day, which is a common cause of frizz.
2. Add a little water. Lightly spritz a small amount of water on the length of your hair for longer-lasting curls. The key word is little, so your hair should feel barely damp and never wet.
3. Set the curler. First, section the front of your hair / bangs away from the rest of your hair. (your bangs will be curled separately and once the rest of your hair has been set in the Flower Curl.) Gather your hair into a high ponytail through the curler, positioned on top of your scalp, then clip the donut down to stop it moving while you wrap. Make sure the hair at the back is pulled up neatly and not hanging loose. (You can remove the clip from the donut once everything is set.)
4. Wrap and secure. Split your hair into even sections, wrap each one around the rings, and secure each end with the claw clips provided. Make sure there are no gaps in between wrapping for consistent curling results. Wrap your bangs either in a roller or around one of the front rings.
5. Leave it to set. Leave the curler in overnight, or for at least six hours during the day. You may wish to experiment with the curler to see what works for your hair. Some customers wear it for less time and can still achieve amazing curls.
6. Unravel and open the curls. In the morning, mist a little hairspray over the set curler and leave it for a few minutes to set. Remove the clips, unravel the hair from each satin ring and then gently lift the Flower Curl away from your scalp. The best way to open the curls is to flip your hair forward and running your fingers through the curls to open them up. If you prefer a softer, looser hair curling look, you can brush them out. Add a few drops of hair oil for a silky finish look.
