Curly Hair: 5 Game Changers and a Bonus Tip
Glowrious: Through My Eyes — I Mean My Curls
As the Founder, Manager, and Brand Ambassador of Glowrious, I’ve tested, failed, retried, and invented tricks until I found my ultimate game changers. Curl girls, buckle up — here’s my insider guide to loving your curls.
Before we dive in, a little confession about my washday rituals:
I always wash my hair separately from my body. Why? Because I kneel before my curls like they’re royalty; a queen deserves her moment. And yes, I wash my hair upside down. It’s messy, it’s fun, and it gives my curls the lift and bounce I aim for!
Game Changer #1: Defining Brush + Gel
Routine: Wash Day
Game Changer: Using the Defining Curly Hair Brush with the Gel
What to Expect: Achieve perfect curl definition from wash day.
How do I do it in real life: I shampoo my hair, I condition my hair, I rinse conditioner, I scrunch my hair to remove excess water, and then I section my hair, apply gel, and brush through each section with the Defining Curly Hair Brush.
Confession: The first time I tried this, I looked like a curly poodle audition… until it dried. Then, magic happened.
Curls Talk: My curls never knew this level of definition existed.
Curl Day Life Expectancy: Extends washday by +2 days
Game Changer #2: Pineapple Scarf at Night
Routine: Between Wash Days
Game Changer: Sleeping with a Pineapple Scarf at night
What to Expect: Wake up to protected, happy curls with no frizz.
How do I do it in real life: Tie your hair high into a “pineapple” and wrap with the Pineapple Scarf.
Confession: Some mornings I forget, and my curls remind me… loudly.
Curls Talk: I wake up, and my curls are like, ‘We slept well, thanks.’
Curl Day Life Expectancy: Extends washday by +2 days
Game Changer #3: Pineapple Scarf + Rosemary Spray
Routine: Between Wash Days
Game Changer: Pineapple Scarf + Rosemary Spray
What to Expect: Instant curl refresh — light, defined, and bouncy again.
How do I do it in real life: I mist curls lightly with Rosemary Spray, then tie in the Pineapple Scarf, then I re-spray the length before tucking them in the scarf for 10–15 minutes.
Confession: Sometimes I get distracted and end up finger-coiling a few extra strands… it’s
worth it.
Curls Talk: Midweek curls, revived and thriving.
Curl Day Life Expectancy: Extends washday by +2.5 to 3 days
Bonus Tip #1: Salt Water Trick
Routine: Wash Day
Game Changer: Salt Water Trick
What to Expect: Extra curl definition.
How do I do it in real life: I shampoo my hair, I condition my hair, I rinse conditioner, I soak my hair in a basin of salt water (just a handful of sea salt). Then apply gel to wet, sea-soaked, clean hair.
Confession: I used to think salt water was only for beach hair… turns out it’s a curl miracle.
Curls Talk: I always felt that I was a mermaid*… and here we are! Plus: Beach hair vibes at home, without the sand in awkward places
* having mermaid hair
Curl Day Life Expectancy: Extends washday by +0.5 day (hey, for extra definition, not longevity, unless we use styling products)
Game Changer #4 — New Game Changer Unlocked
Routine: Wash Day
Game Changer: Pineappling wet, salt-soaked-gel-coated hair + diffusing inside the scarf
What to Expect: Defined, frizz-free curls with volume that lasts.
How do I do it in real life: I shampoo my hair, I condition my hair, I rinse conditioner, I soak my clean hair in sea salt water, I scrunch my hair to remove excess water, I section my hair, I apply gel and brush each section, and then I pineapple my clean, gel-coated, sea-water-soaked hair. I begin diffusing it while being wrapped!
Confession: I still catch myself staring in the mirror, amazed at how much better my curls look.
Curls Talk: My curls threw a standing ovation in the mirror. Not kidding
Curl Day Life Expectancy: Extends washday by +3+ days
Game Changer #5 — The Real Game Changer: Glowrious Itself
Routine: Anytime
Game Changer: Using Glowrious products
What to Expect: You won't be able to relate to any bad hair post! Sorry, not sorry!
How do I do it in real life: Simply incorporate Glowrious’ carefully crafted formulas — organic, CGM-approved, safe, and perfected for curls.
Confession: This should really be the first game changer… but I saved it for last, so I don’t sound like a walking shampoo commercial.
Curls Talk: My curls have more pictures than my own lovely face.
Curl Day Life Expectancy: Extends washday by ∞ (infinity) — basically, you’re untouchable
Extra Context: At the end of the day, the biggest transformation came when I started creating and using my own Glowrious products. What started as a personal need became the foundation of Glowrious.
Why?: Because I know the struggle, and I chose to find solutions!. Now, you don’t have to either.
How I Actually Use These Game Changers
With all those game changers… do I do them all at once? Well, my curly hair care journey is more of an adventure than a strict checklist. Sometimes I go full-on, using every single trick from washday to refresh days — and my curls are living their best life. Other times, I do nothing.
The key? Listen to yourself, have fun with your hair, and remember that curls are wonderfully unpredictable and that you are perfect either way. Every day is an experiment, a chance to learn, and yes… sometimes doing nothing is legitimate
