Q. I am a newbie struggling with major tangles! When and how should I detangle my curls and should I brush my hair when it's dry?
Sometimes tangles can feel like mission impossible, even if you aren't a newbie! Whether you’re trying to tame your own epic knots or to detangle a little one’s textured tresses without a tear fest, it’s crucial to know how to handle tangles like a pro. Watch as Zoe walks you through the detangling process!
Top Detangling Takeaways
“Dry brushing your curls is basically asking for breakage, frizz and heartbreak.”
Grab the Continuous Mist Spray Bottle and Untie the Knot Nourishing Leave-In Conditioner to detangle with ease. Expertly crafted with nourishing ingredients such as avocado oil and broccoli seed oil, the leave-in conditioner will also smooth and moisturize textured tresses.
Newbie tip: Use finger detangling and then a wide tooth comb if needed to work through pesky tangles.
Q. I love the definition of the gel but NOT the crunch! What am I doing wrong?
We get this question a lot from our TréLuxe veterans and newbies! And we get it — nobody wants their hair to feel crisper than a cracker! There are a few key things to know when it comes to mastering SOTC (scrunching out the crunch) once and for all. Thankfully, Zoe covers it all in this how-to video!
Top SOTC Takeaways
“Gel casts are supposed to happen. That crunch? It’s a protective shell.”
The Hi! Definition Curl Enhancer Styling Gel was designed with a cast in mind! High-quality ingredients such as seaweed help create long-lasting hold.
Newbie tip: Always wait until curls, coils or waves are completely dry before breaking the gel cast.
Q. I just ordered the Curly Style & Refresh Set. What order do I use them in?
So you decided to dive in and order TréLuxe, newbie? Well you just made the best call for your curls! A common newbie question is what order to use the sets. Zoe is going to walk you through a routine with the The Curly Style & Refresh Set that leads to absolutely gorgeous, moisturized and defined curls!
Top Product Order Takeaways
Zoe recommends using the Curl Defining Mousse first, followed by the Hi! Definition Curl Enhancer Styling Gel and then the ReFlex Curl Styling Serum.
Newbie tip: Using the same order every time leads to consistent definition and volume.
We’ve also mapped out product order recommendations for coilies and wavies! This blog post shares helpful how-to videos and guides for sets for curly pros and newbies.
Q. I tried the Curl Renew & Restore Gentle Cleansing Rinse, but it seems to disappear on my head. Is there a method I am missing to make it more sudsy?
The Curl Renew & Restore Gentle Cleansing Rinse strikes the right balance for curlies. Designed with plant-based ingredients, it removes debris while still maintaining the pH balance of your tresses. Heads up newbies, the cleansing rinse is a low-poo, which means that it does not suds up as much as a regular shampoo. With some thorough scalp massaging, you may see some suds, but don’t stress if you don’t. Whether or not you see the suds, you’ll still be getting an amazing scalp and strand cleanse. Hit play to see Zoe share some much-needed cleansing expertise!
Top Cleansing Takeaways
Be sure to apply the cleansing rinse to a wet scalp.
Reach for the Scalp Massager and use circular motions to work the cleanser in. Newbie tip: If you are not seeing the suds you were hoping for, add a bit more water.
This technique will lead to properly cleansed tresses and a scalp that feels refreshed!
Q. How do you use the Restorative Protein Mask?
If you are a newbie to this curl thing, the concept of adding protein to your routine may not be familiar territory. This quick video (less than a minute lol) will fill you in on if your curls could be in need of protein and how to use the Restorative Protein Mask? Watch and learn, curly!
Top Protein Takeaways
- If your curls are mushy, limp, over-moisturized or not holding shape they may be silently screaming: “Help! We need protein!”
- Key ingredients such as quinoa protein, oat milk and bamboo extract revitalize stressed strands.
- Newbie tip: Be sure to let the protein mask work its magic for 25 minutes.
