I didn’t even know dry refreshing was a thing! I will definitely try this.. rewetting or misting my hair makes it SO frizzy. But I do lose a ton of definition at night because I move around so much though
Oh my gosh, thank you for this. My curls seem similar to yours and don’t like a wet refresh. When I used to straighten my hair I could wake up, brush, and go. I realize there’s more work with curly but I’d like to cut down the time each morning as much as possible. So, thank you.
Love a dry refresh! I usually use a leave in. The best thing is that because there’s no drying time to speak of, I do it when I get to work, so I can deal with any fuzziness from the commute (walking + bus). I carry a little travel size of leave in in my bag at all times! Although my day 4 hair never looks this good! It’s gorgeous! 😍
Thank you for this. I am not remotely gifted with hair skills, so learning all of these techniques and concepts is like drinking from a fire hose. Seeing you doing them while explaining the reasons behind it is helping me click at last!
Thank you! thank you! I've been trying to refresh with water and it doesn't work!! I've tried misting my hair. I've tried using more water. I've tried various products with the refresh wetting process and without fail, I end up with gross stringy flat frizzy curls. Ironically I USED to do a dry refresh, but when I told my sister and sister in law that I never rewet my hair to refresh, they gave me an astounded look. They both have much thicker curlier hair than me, but it made me think I was doing it wrong. Now I'm realizing that nope, I knew my hair and what it needed. Thanks!
My hair is fine with a looser wave pattern. It's always a challenge to refresh my hair without a product weighing it down and causing build-up. So far, the only thing that has helped is dampening my hair and then applying a foam to my strands and pixie diffusing. I recently got thr treluxe products and may need to try this, even if I do need to dampen my hair a little.
Need more of dry refresh methods and products to use. I have the same prob, my hair gets frizzy if i use water in between wash days, i just cant use water at all
Have a look on the rest of my channel, I have another dry mousse refresh video and I recently posted a dry refresh with cream video on my Instagram if you want to look
What do you do when you wake up in the morning and your hair is really tangled? You obviously don’t want to brush out the tangles. My hair isn’t really curly, it’s more of a wavy with some curl. If I put mousse or gel in it then refresh, will it be sticky and heavy?
Haha! I love the term “grabby hands”. That’s the most perfect way to describe that technique. Found your videos through Swavy Curly Courtney and have now subscribed!
I usually don’t use stylers on a regular basis. I do wake up with frizz and wonky pieces. I will try your refresh. I usually dry refresh with Giovanni direct leave in.
Giovanni direct leave in huh??? I love their leave in !! how do you dry refresh with that product??I have thin wavy hair so it usually winds up getting too frizzy after a few hours-thank you
Tried a damp refresh today, like you did in your other video, using Cantu curling creme. it's a bit rich for my hair, i think. It looks great, but feels a bit sticky. Will try a different, more light weight product next time. Will see if I can find the one you recommended in this video, here in Ireland. But already, it looks better than when i wet it, plus it's much quicker to dry so, if I have to do this in the morning before I leave the house, it's perfect.
Hi! Thanks so much. If you check out my other videos I have washday videos in 6 parts, showing each step of my Washday. I use lots of different products 😊 if you check out my Instagram I post my washdays and what I used really regularly
Your day 4 hair looks beautiful Marisa! Do you gently comb out your hair daily in between washes? I find that I have to because my hair starts looking like matted dreadlocks if I do not. Thank you!
Marisa’s Curls i wonder if it’s because my hair is colored and longer (I use a super wide-tooth comb so it’s akin to finger combing). It really looks like a nest if I don’t, then I lightly dampen my hair and use LuLu’s lubricant to refresh. 🥰🥰
Maybe not a very hard hold gel, something lighter and runnier works better for a dry refresh. But if you want to use a regular gel then check out my #marisasrefresh damp refresh video which is linked the description. A curl cream or leave in works well for this sort of dry refresh
When you refresh are you using the same product as on wash day? Also how do you sleep? Pineapple stretches out my curls too much. If I use a silk bonnet I’m just stuffing my hair in. My hair is the same length as yours.
I don’t match up refresh products with washday products no. I use a buff to protect my curls at night along with a silk pillowcase. It works so well! I have a couple of videos on overnight curl protection on my channel here
@@MarisasCurls I have a buff and a silk bonnet. I do sleep on a silk pillow case too. I’m going to try my refresh tomorrow with the TreLuxe serum. I have it but have always used something from my wash day. That’s only because that’s what so many curlies say to do. I love to refresh with MySoigne flaxseed gel too. I add water and emulsify.
Great video. Day 4! That it's my dream. My scalp gets so oily that at the moment I am reaching OK to Day 3. I was so convinced to try this since I think my hair needs a product to seal the moisture. Now that I have seen it in action, I am doubtful to try it. So here it is my question: Do you know any other serum (with water-soluble silicone and protein) which may work as a sealer or do you think this product will work for this purpose!? X
Do you mean to seal your dry hair? I love this product as a curl enhancer and as dry refresh. I don’t know of another serum particularly but an oil blend might do the job, it’s not going to have protein in it though.
This product didn’t work well for me, but my hair is quite particular it seems. @Coffeecurlygirl loves it too, so it might work great for you. I have the best luck with a flaxseed based gel, especially MySoigne. For my oily scalp, I love using the HairDance dry shampoo too (it prevents oils best for me when applied each night before bed).
@@MarisasCurls I meant on wash day when styling with the hair quite wet. I am finding that custard or gel is doing that job for me at the moment, but I wonder if anything else could work as a sealer/last layer. Maybe I am thinking on something that will break the cast!? Will this product work!? X
Janet Barra on washday I have been liking the Treluxe Hi Definition gel layered over this serum to get a good cast. I usually break the cast with a drop or 2 of oil on my hands.
I find that beyond the first day, my hair feels so dry, crispy and weighed down with product. But without that product, my hair goes flat on the second day. Know what I mean? How do you deal with that?
@@MarisasCurls Just tried a dry refresh today - I like it so much better than my spray bottle with leave in conditioner - it does tend to make my hair more frizzy too!
Ahhh where do you get hold of this dry shampoo in the UK? I've hunted everywhere for it! I struggle with oiliness on day 3 hair and usually have to resort to Batiste, but I've consistently heard such good things about My Hairdance dry shampoo!
I don’t think it’s available in the UK yet but I have Acure dry shampoo which I got from eBay and it’s great too. Also Lush now have a cg approved dry shampoo, it’s called No Drought
It’s not either of those really. I suppose it’s most like a very runny, light hold gel. Similar to Curlkeeper Original in some ways. But for a dry refresh like this you can use a leave in or curl cream too.
I’ve just tried dry refreshing with homemade flaxseed gel and it’s the usual stringy, frizzy mess. I don’t think I can afford to be a curly girl. I can’t buy the more expensive products. I think I’ve tried every refresh method there is and it’s always a mess
I didn’t even know dry refreshing was a thing! I will definitely try this.. rewetting or misting my hair makes it SO frizzy. But I do lose a ton of definition at night because I move around so much though
It’s a game changer! Hope it works for you!

Leave in conditioner?
I do the same, just add a little neat leave in :) wetting my hair makes it frizzy x
You have one of the most gorgeous curls i've ever seen 🤯

So much yes!
New favorite refresh method. Turned my thin frizzy day 3 hair into shiny defined curls. Thank you!!! Subscribing to your channel!
Amazing!! So glad it worked and thanks so much for subscribing!

“Grabby hands” 😝 LOL
Yes for a dry refresh! I hate adding water unless I’m washing my hair so I’m all for this.
Haha it’s funny isn’t it? 🤪 I love dry refreshing!
Thank you! I did this with my Moroccan Oil Curl Cream. Worked perfect! 😊
I’m so glad!

Oh my gosh, I have this same question. My tangle issue is severe, even with healthy hair.
I found when I switched to sleeping with a bonnet, that got rid of most of my overnight tangles.
Protecting your hair overnight with a buff or bonnet will help a lot!
Haha! I love the term “grabby hands”. That’s the most perfect way to describe that technique. Found your videos through Swavy Curly Courtney and have now subscribed!
Haha it fits doesn’t it? Thanks so much for subscribing and Courtney is awesome!

@@MarisasCurls will do. Thank t!
I would rather do a dry refresh too! My hair always feels producty as well when i wet it.
It’s definitely my go too refresh now!
What do u use for dry refresh? I have the same issue 🙈
Im so happy that i, kind of randomly, found ur channel!!
Truly have such similar curl pattern to yours, and your video’s are very pleasant to watch.
Aw that’s so lovely thank you! So glad you found me too!!
I'm so tired of all the work with wet refreshing. Have got to master dry refresh.
It’s honestly soooo much easier!!!
Wow! That’s amazing! I like to dry refresh as well. Simply gorgeous!!
Thanks so much 😍
Your hair is so beautiful. I love this dry shampoo too!
Thank you!!! 😍
Your day 4 hair looks beautiful Marisa! Do you gently comb out your hair daily in between washes? I find that I have to because my hair starts looking like matted dreadlocks if I do not. Thank you!
Hi! Thanks so much. No I don’t, occasionally I’ll gently finger detangle towards the end of the wash week but usually not. 😊
Marisa’s Curls i wonder if it’s because my hair is colored and longer (I use a super wide-tooth comb so it’s akin to finger combing). It really looks like a nest if I don’t, then I lightly dampen my hair and use LuLu’s lubricant to refresh. 🥰🥰
That sounds fine though if you are really gentle! 😊 and yes coloured hair can often tangle more
Marisa’s Curls thank you!! 🥰🥰
Your hair is beautiful! Look at those curls!! And I love your eye makeup ;0)
Thanks so much

Cindy Holman im so glad it worked well for you too!
Love this! So much quicker!
It really is!
Looks great!!! I wish I could get my hair to cooperate. Only been doing the CGM for a little over a month.
Aw it can be frustrating but it takes time! It took me 3 months before I had a good washday ☺️
@@MarisasCurls Thanks for the encouragement!! I keep plugging along hoping for the best!!
Thank you for sharing!❤

@@MarisasCurls Oh amazing, thank you for the tips!
How long did it take for you , using the curly girl method to get your curls back to soft and lovely instead of frizzy and dry?
It took me about 3 months to figure it out and get a decent washday and it gradually got better from there.
You're 4 day curls look better than mine on wash day
Would boucleme yellow gel work for a dry refresh ? It's pretty runny ?
It might; worth a try for sure 😊
Did you try with this? I have it and was wondering the same thing.
@@joanneconroy5899 Hi yes I tried it and was pretty happy with the results 😊👍
What are the names of the products your using in this video please!
They are in the description box. 😊 I used Treluxe Reflex Serum and My Hair Dance Volumizing Dry Shampoo
How many days can you do a dry-refresh before you have to wash it?
I think it depends on how much product I use or how well it’s lasting.
Can I use diffuser after leave in conditioner to improve curl shape?
Yes of course
@@MarisasCurls thanks a lot.
And ur amazing
Thank you 😊
Is the serum much like a gel?
It’s much more runny than a regular gel and has much lighter hold.
Marisa’s Curls hi! So is it like a leave in? Or a custard? Trying to figure if something in my current product lineup will work similar.
It’s not either of those really. I suppose it’s most like a very runny, light hold gel. Similar to Curlkeeper Original in some ways. But for a dry refresh like this you can use a leave in or curl cream too.
Marisa’s Curls thanks!!
I’ve just tried dry refreshing with homemade flaxseed gel and it’s the usual stringy, frizzy mess. I don’t think I can afford to be a curly girl. I can’t buy the more expensive products. I think I’ve tried every refresh method there is and it’s always a mess
