I am so excited for warmer temperatures, flowers, blooming things getting greener outside and today we are going to be talking about what you'll need to do to change up your routine for spring. I'M going to walk you through my favorite spring routine for this year from wet to dry, every single step of the process, teaching you what i do in a few tips and tricks for a little extra volume and definition along the way. So if you're excited for this video go ahead and hit it with a thumbs up, it really helps out the channel and without further ado, let's get styling. So, as always, i'm starting my shower by cleansing and today i'm using the red and pure apple, cider, vinegar, clarify and shine shampoo. This is a nice gentle but powerful cleansing formula that clarifies without overly stripping my hair and scalp of necessary, moisture and actually does a really nice job of refreshing and soothing. My dry itchy scalp on a regular basis. Now, as the name suggests, this is a clarifying wash, and i use this about once every two to three washes, because i recently discovered that i have slightly higher mineral content in my municipal water supply than i did where i used to live before. So i'm clarifying a little more often to help prevent any mineral buildup to replenish any lost moisture from clarifying. I follow this up with a deep conditioner and i've been loving. The eva nyc therapy session hair mask as you can see, this is thick multiple seeds thick. It is a very creamy formula and, as you can see here, i'm applying it as thoroughly through each section of my hair as possible, especially that middle underside of the back of my head, which is an area i tend to miss with conditioners now. I particularly love this mask because the formula is fantastic for high porosity hair. It'S got a decent concentration of hydrolyzed vegetable protein in it to help rebuild any structure. I need in my curls, as well as tons of super moisturizing, emollient ingredients and it's really affordable. Like 13 bucks for that entire giant pot, now, as you can see here, i'm actually putting my hair into a couple of french rope. Braids no worries this is an optional step. I just do it to keep my hair out of my way, as i finish showering. So i can rinse everything off my body to prevent the dreaded back knee. So, as you can see, i'm clipping it up here and i'm just going to let that sit for about 10 minutes immediately after rinsing out that mask i'm going in with my leave-in i'm using the los brands, all in one which is not just a leave-in conditioner. It'S also a styler i like that it has a degree of hold to it in and of itself, which means that it's going to give my fine curls some lasting power once i layer it with the rest of my styling product now, the all-in-one does have glycerin Pretty high up on the ingredient list, but since i'm layering it with another hold product on top, i'm not terribly concerned about the effects of humidity. This is why we layer kids a little longer than a few minutes later. So while i was getting dressed and like pretty and stuff, i've had my hair just up in that clip that i showed you in a shower cap to prevent as much water loss as possible from my hair, because i am going to be styling. My curls extremely wet today, let's see what we're working with under here, all right, still nice and wet, but because i know i'm going to need to re-wet certain sections of my hair. I have my continuous mist spray bottle here with me and this i actually have filled with distilled water. Very specifically, i have had way more success using distilled water to re-wet my hair during the styling process than i ever did with tap water. I am already styling top down today, because i want to maximize volume as well as definition and the last time i did this. I got like the most incredible results, so i'm really excited to show that to you today. So i'm going to start by taking a nice u-shaped section right at the top of my head, which also includes my new bangs. I'M going to twist that to keep it out of the way and then put the rest up, i'm going to take my continuous mist spray bottle and i'm going to go ahead and re-wet this entire section here now. This is because i do want to be able to form clumps, and i also want to make sure that i'm not substituting too much product in my hair for the hydration that it actually needs that hydration only comes from water products. Give you moisture, which is what seals hydration in, but we need the water, especially anybody with wavier, curls or bigger clumps. We need this stuff now that that section is nice and wet. I am going to go in with eco slay orange marmalade, i'm just going in with one kind of reasonable size pump to start with. If i feel like i need more, i will take more, i'm gon na add just a little bit of extra water. To my hand, as i emulsify and then we're gon na rake this through before we style, so let's talk volume, styling top down increases root volume from the get go, but there are a few things that you can do to pump it up even more as you Can see i'm using the denman brush to define my curls, but that's an optional step if you want to just increase your volume and you're, not too concerned with like super ringletty definition, just rake and squeeze with your fingers and scrunch from there, you can also, as You see me doing there loosen the roots a little bit to increase the movement at the top and front of your head, and, if you want to boost it even further, i highly recommend going in with a volumizing, mousse or foam right at the roots. My favorites right now are the curlsmith bouncy strength, volume foam, which you might see a little bit later in this video and the evolve insta volume mousse, which believe me lives up to its name. Now you can also damp style as opposed to fully soaking wet styling. Like i'm doing here, which also encourages volume by creating smaller clumps, however, with the orange marmalade, i suggest, following the directions on the bottle and doing it, soaking wet, because that's what's gon na give you the best results according to the manufacturer - and you know, according to My own personal experience here, and even with this much water, i don't struggle with volume now that the product is all in, at least for this stage, i am going to microflop to get as much moisture as possible out of here. For this i am actually going to be using kind of a makeshift tool here. This is a king-sized jersey, t-shirt, material pillowcase, and i have found that this works actually surprisingly. Well, in a pinch, i don't have to deal with sleeves. I don't have to deal with trying to wash all the product out of something that i'm going to maybe wear later uh. So here's my solution, if you are an experienced plopper and would prefer to do a full plop here feel free to. I find that, with my extremely fine malleable, curls micro plopping gives me more control over how my clumps set and mature, because i have bangs and i want to control where they land i'm going to start with this little alligator clip here that i've been using to Section my hair, i'm going to make sure that my hair kind of falls where it wants to and then i'm going to look in the mirror for a hot. Second, i'm just going to kind of insert this right at the front here. To give me a little bit of root lift and to make sure that the bangs kind of stay exactly where i want them to on that side of my face, i'm going to do the exact same thing on the other side, real quick before i start diffusing, I am going to do a little bit of root clipping. I find that this helps keep me from getting too much of a defined part at the back, which can lead to more flat roots. So i'm just going to pull this up here and clip right in the middle i'm using these little sectioning clips hair has been set where i want it, and now i'm going to start the process of drying, i am going to be hovering, diffusing upside down and Side to side just to kind of get my roots away from my scalp and start to set a cast, i'm starting on medium heat and full speed, aiming for the roots first and foremost again, because we are all about that root volume now, as you may have Noticed that is the dyson supersonic, and i promise i will have a full review of the supersonic dryer for you and whether it's worth your money very shortly, and by that i mean literally as soon as i'm able to get around to it, hello. The process has kind of forced my curls to separate and slightly wonkify, so here is where kind of my secret weapon comes in, and it is this masters technique now, if you guys have not done smasters or heard of semesters before it is the process of applying More product part way through your drying process. For me, i use it to reshape and kind of firm up my clumps, especially in any areas that have gotten weird to add some more structure, as well as just really nice lightweight, hold and bounciness all over. I'M going to be using the curlsmith bouncy strength, volume foam, give it a shake pump, a few pumps in just like that, i'm going to emulsify it lightly between my hands and then i'm just going to glaze and kind of praying hands. My way over my hair. Now, if at this point, you're finding that the clumps aren't really reforming, that is what water is for my friends and take a little bit of water spray it on my hands, along with the product, to really allow those clumps to re-form. This master step is honestly completely optional. If you like, the more separated, look or you're not seeing any wonkiness or separation, your clumps don't bother. I, however, have found that this step smooths down frizz and really does help me to reshape, in particular my bangs, which i'm honestly really still getting used to now, i'm going to resume the drying process by pixie diffusing, which basically means scrunching with the diffuser, but only Moving the diffuser itself when the dryer is completely off. This enhances the curls without causing extra frizz. If you want to see me demonstrate that further head to my defusing technique, video, i promise i promise. I really do go step by step in that one and right now, i'm just trying not to like force you to watch paint dry or you know, hair dry. It'S because i care. Oh, hey, look. Clothes hair is still in the cast. It is probably about 95 dry, and at this point i am going to scrunch out the crunch. Now you may have noticed that up until this point, every product that i have used in my styling routine has been silicone free. But there is one step that i never leave out silicones and that is scrunching out the crunch and sealing my results. So for that, i'm going to be using something you guys have seen many a time before on this channel, which is the wella oil reflections, light luminous, reflective oil. I love this stuff. This is my og serum and i'm probably going to be using it until it's discontinued, which please well don't do that to me. So i'm going to take just a couple of pumps, emulsify that as well as humanly possible in between my hands and then to scrunch out the crunch, i'm going to be doing a little bit less scrunching a little bit more smoothing. Now. The reason i recommend sealing with silicones is that they do seal the cuticle without weighing it down or causing a greasy feeling, like some oils, can plus they're particularly effective at fighting the spring humidity, so bye, bye, flyaways and hello gorgeous. These are the final results of my go-to most consistent spring routine. I have found that these results last for days with minimal refreshing. They give me beautiful, bouncy curls all over and the top down technique gives me fabulous volume from the very start. What do you think now to illustrate how well these results from my routine last, as you can tell from the outfit and the makeup, this is a different day. I am on day three hair using my spring routine right now and i have been getting shiny. Hydrated results like this from this routine time and time and time again before i officially close out this video, i wanted to give you guys just the most heartfelt thanks for your response to, and engagement with and kindness on, my last video that i shared talking about Mental illness and mental health is so important in today's climate, and it is still one of the hardest things that we can do as human beings is just be open about what is going on with us that other people might not be able to see.
