At 36, I’ve finally figured out my curly hair routine. The Bounce Curl brush has changed the way I style my hair.

Then, I section my hair and use the Bounce Curl brush to “brush style” it. It takes a few minutes but is worth the time I save by not having to use heat to fix my curls in the long run. I brush through a small section of hair at a time, lifting at the root and letting the edge of the brush create clumps that will turn into defined curls as it dries.

After finishing this step, I flip my head over, wrap it in a microfiber towel, and forget about it for a while while I watch an episode of something or chase my dog around the house, trying to teach him how to play with his toys.

Once it’s at least halfway dry, I’ll finish it off with my blow dryer with the diffuser attachment, which lets me dry my hair without blowing it around and disrupting the curls. If I’m in a rush, instead of letting it air dry for a bit, I’ll gently scrunch some water out with the towel after brush styling and then go straight to diffusing it.

Then I’m good to go! Once it’s fully dry, if there are any curls that are too big and defined or “clumped” together, I might pick them apart for some more volume, but that’s all I need to do; I don’t need to mess with any of my curls with a curling iron anymore to fix them because they’re not cooperating, and it’s made things so much easier.
