Expand Your Curls And Unlock Your Natural Volume!

Ever wanted those BIG, Juicy and Voluminous curls you see in the magazines? Well, now you CAN!

 

Recently, Jonina and her team had the pleasure of attending a curl education session with Kindale Godbee, owner of The Heir Salon

Armed with fresh curl education the team returned buzzing with new ideas and techniques to try. Jonina, feeling particularly inspired, decided to test one of these new techniques—'Expanding Your Curls', on her own hair, during her latest LOHY. Live session.

The result?

Breathtaking curls with boosted dimension, and loads more volume. 

If you've ever wondered how models in magazines achieve those big, luscious curls with endless body—this is the secret! Kindale shared how when she styles a model ready for a photo shoot- this is the exact technique she uses. 

 

This technique is particularly good for people with Type 3 and Type 4 hair (however it can be used on other types too- we see you wavy’s!!). It's a go-to style for a girl’s night out or any occasion where you want to make a bold statement!

How To Expand Your Curls

Step 1: Load up on product

In the LOHY. Live demo, Jonina didn’t hold back—she applied around 30 pumps of Chutzpah Volumising Foam, plus a generous mist of Hold It Hairspray. Chutzpah is the HERO of this styling sesh and using plenty of product is key! This ensures your curls are well-defined, shiny, and ready to expand. Remember, this is not an "everyday styling routine". (think, special occasions).

 

Step 2: Brush your product through

Once the product is applied, take a flexi brush and brush through the hair to create juicy curl clumps. Brushing the product through helps with even distribution and ensures all curls get an even application. Then, scrunch and squish your hydrated curls like you would during your usual styling routine.

 

Watch Jonina as she quite literally "expands her curls". 

Step 3: The Game-Changer


Here’s where the magic happens. (21:51 if you're watching along.) When your curls are about 50% dry from diffusing, pause. Gently separate the larger curl clumps into smaller sections. This will instantly add volume and set the stage for the ‘expansion’ effect. As you continue drying, you’ll start to notice your curls growing in volume and dimension.

Step 4: Volume Activation


Once your curls are fully dry, remove the diffuser attachment and blow-dry the roots. Watch in awe as your curls spring to life with unbelievable volume, giving you that big, bold look you’ve always wanted.


This new technique has fast become a favourite in the LOHY. styling arsenal, perfect for anyone looking to take their curls to the next level.

Whether it’s a glamorous night out or just a day to show off, Expanding Your Curls is all about celebrating your natural beauty and effortlessly enhancing your already voluminous curls.
