How to Wear Your Curls on Rainy Days in Howell, NJ

Rainy weather can make styling curly hair feel frustrating, but fighting the weather is not always the best answer. Instead of reaching for flat irons or curling rods, rainy days can be a great time to embrace natural curls, waves, texture, and movement.

At Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ, our stylists help curly-haired guests choose routines and styling products that support curl definition, shine, and frizz control.

Embrace the Weather Instead of Fighting It

When the weather is damp or rainy, curls often respond better when they are styled with the humidity in mind. Scrunching and enhancing the natural curl pattern can help create a softer, more intentional look than trying to force the hair into a straight style.

For rainy days, the goal is to work with the curl pattern, not against it. A curl-supporting product can help create natural wave, enhance curls, add shine, and support frizz control.

Rainy-Day Curl Styling Ideas

Just because someone has ringlets, waves, or bundles of curls does not mean the hair has to be worn the same way every day. A headband can help keep curls controlled while still showing off texture. A fishtail braid can create a softer boho-inspired look.

Another option is to pin the hair over to one side while leaving the other side full of body. Curly hair naturally provides volume and shape, and decorative hair pieces can help make the style feel more finished.

KMS Curl Up Styling Steps

For curls that need bounce, shine, and frizz control, the original rainy-day styling routine used the KMS Curl Up line, including Curl Up Shampoo, Curl Up Conditioner, Curl Up Control Crème, and Curl Up Wave Foam.

Step 1: Begin with Curl Up Shampoo to support elasticity and help give curls the desired bounce.

Step 2: Apply Curl Up Conditioner in a raking motion through the hair and let it sit for about 2 minutes. After the curl-enhancing technology has had time to work, lightly rinse the product out.

Step 3: To remove excess water, tilt the head to the side and use an upward scrunching motion with a paper towel or old T-shirt. Start from the ends and lift upward to help keep curls smooth and defined.

Step 4: Apply Curl Up Control Crème for curl bundling and frizz control. Emulsify the product in the hands, work it evenly through the hair, and repeat the scrunching motion to help define the curls.

Step 5: Before heat styling, apply Curl Up Wave Foam for soft waves and natural movement. Start at the ends and work upward with the same scrunching motion. This helps support the curl shape and protect against frizz.

Step 6: Either diffuse the curls or allow them to air dry. A diffuser can help enhance curls and give them definition without disrupting their natural shape.

Step 7: Once the curls are fully dry, slide fingertips underneath the hair near the scalp and lightly shake at the roots to open up the curls and create more volume.
