Factors to Take Into Consideration When Choosing Curl Products

While a great curly style starts in the salon with the right cut and a flawless colour, daily maintenance and styling is where your style stands out. To ensure a perfect finish every time, you’ll need to switch up your habits and upgrade your products. To start this process there are a few tips to abide by:

  • Understand your curl and hair type
  • Hydrate as much as possible
  • Use less heat
  • Find products that enhance, define and refine your hair type

Which CURL Product Is Right for You?

Creating a curly hairstyle is about finding curl products that not only refine your texture, but deliver the finished style you’re looking for. From using a single perfect product, to cocktailing or layering based on your desired look — KEVIN.MURPHY has an entire range of curl products to unleash your curls’ potential.

KILLER.CURLS WASH + RINSE

Suggested for: All Hair Types

With the ability to enhance hydration, KILLER.CURLS WASH + RINSE is the ideal first step for any hair type and texture. This formula is Vegan and Colour-safe and formulated with Organic Oat Milk to enhance your texture and reveal healthy, shiny hair.

How To Use: KILLER.CURLS WASH + RINSE is gentle enough to be used as your daily regimen and can also be the ideal choice when using co-washing methods especially for fine and thin hair types.

MOTION.LOTION

This lotion is focused on enhancing and defining existing texture. As a creme product, it can be used to deliver flexible hold and a natural-looking shine and is ideal to tame hair types that are prone to frizz.

How To Use: Apply MOTION.LOTION to damp hair and scrunch or twirl to create soft, loose texture.

EASY.RIDER

Suggested for: Medium to Coarse Hair Types

This anti-frizz creme is ideal to define and moisturise curls. It was one of the first products KEVIN.MURPHY developed and continues to remain a fan-favourite for its ability to treat and finish soft, loose waves.

KILLER.TWIRLS

Suggested for: All Hair Types

Air-drying wavy, curly and coily hair is an ideal way to style various texture types. Not only does it cut down on heat damage, but air-drying also helps your natural texture really shine. This creme is ideal all on its own or as a foundational product that defines and refines curls, hydrates and protects against humidity.

How To Use: Apply this leave-in styler to towel-dried or damp hair, scrunch, or twirl to activate. Pro-tip: Test out this product with a “rake and shake" hair method for an effortless finish.

KILLER.CURLS

Suggested for: Medium to Thick Hair Types

With added heat protection, this volumising, curl-defining cream can be used when air-drying or blow-drying the hair, making it the ideal all-in-one styler to protect your hair from damage. Formulated to hydrate and strengthen the hair, it also contains anti-frizz properties to deliver smoothness.

How To Use: Apply to damp or towel-dried hair and scrunch. Then air-dry or use a diffuser to blow-dry. For best results, prep with KILLER.CURLS WASH + RINSE.
