I don’t want the title of this post to be deceiving, so here is the disclaimer: this is a post about how to get loose curls on hair that has been styled and slept on.
After brushing out my hair, I put a little bit of the Bumble & Bumble Texture Creme in my palm and then I rub the product between my hands. Then, I apply it all over my hair, focusing on the hair from the nape of my neck down to my ends. I apply it normally, just going from the top to the bottom of the hair shaft (kind of “dragging” the product through my hair, but gently).
The only part I very quickly re-curled this morning are the two very front pieces. I am so glad to have found this method because this means two less days of heat on my hair a week! I never imagined my hair could look so styled with such little effort!
If you have some natural wave or curl, this method could also work for you to achieve a similar look, as long as you use it on dry hair (and ideally, second or third day hair).
I definitely recommend this product and I’m glad it comes in such a big tube because I will be using it a lot more from now on!
xoxo,
Veronika.
PS- AWESOME APP ALERT! My friend Stephanie over at Graded on a Curve told me about this awesome iPhone app called “CrossProcess.” It color processes your photos and I used it for the photos in this post to show you all. Definitely worth the $1.99 and it saves all of your photos to your camera roll! Learn more here.

Um, WOW. That looks pretty amazing! I think I need this stuff! I'm so tired of my lovely big waves/curls going flat after a day with my fine hair! You said your hair was pretty fine, correct?
Oh, and the Camera+ app is really awesome, too, if you're into camera apps 🙂

I like Bumble and Bumble products, but haven't used this one. Usually I use Surf Spray when I want wavy hair.

Do you ever get told you look like Emily Vancamp? I can definitely see a comparison! She's beautiful, BTW 🙂

Re: cross process. You can download the free Iphone app Instagram and it has tons of different effects you can do to photos. I use it all.the.time. Half of my photos I do on Instagram. It uploads them onto your camera roll as well.

Your curls look awesome! I may try this myself. I have naturally curly hair. ANYWAYS…So I think I saw you mention that you are a fan of dry shampoo. I've never used it…although I should because I have to wash my hair EVERY day or it gets oily. I cant even wash my hair at night and then wake up and style because my roots are already oily. Can you give me any tips on brands, how to use it, etc?

I wish that I was better at curling my hair! It always looks good and then 5 minutes later the curls are gone!

Thanks for sharing Veronika! I will have to try this!

Do you find it easier to wear day+ old hair? I have been finding freshly washed hair so much harder to keep styled. Its too soft and bouncy!
[email protected] says
anna—yes I do this on second or third day hair, usually third day.
@kristal–I have two full reviews on the dry shampoos I use on my blog—use the search bar at the top right to find them 🙂 one is called suave dry shampoo and the other is serge normant meta revive 🙂
Anne says
How much of this product did you use for your length of hair? Like dime sized?
Heather says

Stephanie says
Thanks for the shoutout! I'm glad you're loving the app as much as I am. 🙂

How do you manage to have great hair that looks so clean 3-4 days post-wash after exercising? My hair is always sweaty and ultimately stinky 🙂 after working out and I couldn’t imagine not washing it daily. Although I would love to go a day without washing, I just need some tips on how to! 🙂
[email protected] says
@leigh—when I do bar method it's all about toning so very little sweating. When I do bootcamp, I either don't sweat a ton or I do it on a day where I wash my hair the next morning. I am really lucky that my scalp doesn't sweat a ton even when I'm working out intensely.
Lleighb says
Thanks so much! How do you keep it dry while showering? Shower cap or do you bathe instead? Apparently, I have much to learn! 🙂

I just wrap my hair in a clean dry towel like turban style and it keeps it dry when I shower
