Create Defined + Voluminous Curl Clumps In 5 Simple Steps!

Want big, bouncy curl clumps? We’ve got you covered.

From mastering the art of curl clumping to knowing when (and how) to separate them for extra volume, we’re breaking it all down.

Plus, if you’ve got wavy hair, we’ll walk you through the best techniques to create defined, effortless clumps that last.

What Are Curl Clumps?

Curl clumping happens when your curls group together into defined, juicy sections. Giving you more bounce, volume, and that effortlessly defined look.

How To Get Juicy Curl Clumps

It all starts with the right technique and the right products.

1. Start with Clean, Hydrated Hair

A smooth, hydrated base is key. Use LOHY.’s Nourish & Flourish Shampoo and Conditioner to prep your curls for maximum definition.

2. Apply Your Styling Products

For hydration and hold, apply Cruise Control Curl Cream and either LOHY.’s Oomph Hydrating Gel or POW Strong Hold Gel. Add to soaking wet hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.

3. Use the ‘Praying Hands’ Method

Glide your hands over each section of hair, pressing the product in to encourage clumping while reducing any unwanted frizz.

4. Brush for Ultra-Defined Clumps (Optional)

For tighter curl patterns, use the LOHY. Flexi Brush to define and distribute product evenly, working in small sections.

5. Scrunch for Extra Definition 

Flip your head upside down and gently scrunch your curls towards your head- this helps to enhance curl formation and boost volume from the roots. If you hear a “squelching” sound - this is good! Keep going!

Remember- the #1 way to encourage curl clumps is water! If your curls aren't clumping together, or don't seem stringy- add more water! The best way to do this is by using a spray bottle and ‘misting’ your curls as you go.

How (And When) To Separate Curl Clumps

For Volume: Once your curls are dry, gently separate curl clumps with your fingers or use the LOHY. Volume + Root Lift Comb’s like a hair pick for a fuller look.

For Definition: Keep your curl clumps intact if you want more defined curls - less separation = more definition.

For Wavy Hair: Wavy curls love lightweight hold! Try using Chutzpah Volumising Hair Foam for extra texture and the right amount of hold.

True or False??

1. Curl clumps are easier to create on Type 3 and Type 4 hair types. True!
   Tighter curl patterns naturally group together, making it easier for curls to form defined clumps. Wavy hair (Type 2) may need extra help with product and technique to encourage clumping.

2. Applying products to soaking wet hair helps enhance curl clumping. True!
   Water helps distribute product evenly and allows curls to form into smooth, defined clumps instead of separating into frizz.

3. Brushing through dry curls will improve curl clumping. False!
   Brushing dry hair disrupts curl formation, breaking up natural curl clumps and leading to frizz rather than definition. Using a Flexi Brush on wet hair however, will help curls form. 

4. Scrunching is essential for creating curl clumps. True!
   Scrunching encourages curls to form and enhances natural curl grouping, especially for looser curl patterns that need extra help clumping together.

5. Heavy creams are the best product choice for all curl types to achieve clumping. False!
   While hydrating curl creams can help coarse or dry curls clump, wavy or finer hair types may need lightweight foams or gels to avoid weighing down their curls.

6. Diffusing can help set curl clumps in place. True!
   Diffusing on low speed and heat helps curls dry in their clumped shape, reducing frizz and locking in definition while maintaining volume.

Curl clumping is a total game-changer for definition and volume. With the right technique and using curl enhancing products like LOHY.’s, you’ll have juicy, head-turning curls every time. So go ahead, embrace your natural texture and let those curls shine!
