Curly & Wavy Hair

What's a good routine for curly hair?
Kérastase Curl Manifesto covers it. Wash with Bain Hydratation Douceur, condition with Fondant Hydratation Essentielle and swap in Masque Beurre Haute Nutrition once a week. Apply Crème de Jour Fondamentale to soaking-wet hair, then scrunch and diffuse or air-dry. Refresh Absolu revives curls on day two or three. Our Curl Manifesto guide goes into detail.

What's the best product for wavy hair?
Waves need less weight than curls. L'Oréal Tecni Art Flex Waves is made for waves. Apply a little to damp hair, scrunch and leave it alone while it dries. Flex Curl Bounce is the curly-hair version. If Crème de Jour feels heavy on your waves, use half the amount and keep it off the roots.

How do I refresh curls without washing?
Mist Kérastase Curl Manifesto Refresh Absolu over dry curls, focusing on the flat or frizzy pieces, then scrunch or twist them back into shape. Let it dry without touching. It's much gentler than wetting your whole head, and keeps the curl definition from wash day.

Do you sell conditioner bars for curly hair?
No, we don't stock bars. For curly hair that needs moisture, Curl Manifesto Fondant Hydratation Essentielle detangles well without stripping curl definition, and the Masque Beurre is the deeper option. More on choosing in shampoo and conditioner for curly and wavy hair.

How do I stop curly hair going frizzy?
Apply your leave-in to soaking-wet hair, not towel-dried. Don't rub with a towel; squeeze with a T-shirt or microfibre towel. Diffuse on low or air-dry, and don't touch until it's fully dry. A little Refresh Absolu helps on humid days. Our frizzy hair range has more options.
