Second-Day Curls: The Five-Minute Refresh I Swear By

Wash day is a production, and with a baby it is a production with a lot of intermissions. So I want those curls to last. Day two used to mean a flat side, a frizzy crown, and a puff out of panic. Now it’s a five-minute refresh in front of the bathroom mirror. Here’s the kit.

Cantu Comeback Curl Next Day Revitalizer

A few sprays and my coils wake back up. It has shea butter, so it adds moisture instead of just wetting things down, and it doesn’t leave a crunchy cast.

SUPER+ Continuous Mist Spray Bottles

An ultra-fine mist that coats curls evenly without soaking them. I keep plain water in one and a little leave-in mixed with water in the other.

Kitsch Satin Scrunchies

For pineappling at night and for a loose puff on the days I don’t have five minutes. Satin means no dents and no snagged ends.

SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

Just a dab, smoothed over any curl that went rogue overnight. It brings back the definition without starting over.

Conair Double Ceramic Diffuser

On low heat for two minutes after a refresh so my hair isn’t damp on the school run. It keeps the curl pattern instead of blowing it apart.

The routine: shake out the pineapple, mist, a few sprays of revitalizer, smooth the rogue bits, diffuse for a minute or two. Five minutes, and nobody can tell it’s day two. Or day three.
