Are you struggling to achieve defined, long-lasting curls? Look no further than the Smasters Method! If you're tired of dealing with frizzy, lacklustre curls that lose their shape too quickly, this technique is the one for you. It was first created by curly girl Sara Masters, who was known online as Smasters467.

The Smasters Method is a simple yet highly effective approach to enhancing curl definition and longevity. Whether you have loose waves or tight curls, this method can transform your curl routine, giving you with the bouncy, defined curls you've always desired.

How to master the Smasters Method

1. Prep your hair

Begin by washing and conditioning your hair with our Cleanser and Conditioner, and apply the Hydrating Creme on soaking wet hair for the perfect styling base.

After this apply your preferred styling products. Whether you opt for the Curl Mousse or the Gel, ensure thorough coverage to all sections of your hair.

2. Part-dry your curls

Leave your hair to air-dry or diffuse until your hair is approximately 50-80% dry. Check out our best diffusing tips here.

3. Apply more product

Wet your hands slightly to prevent frizz, then dispense a small amount of Mousse or Gel onto your palms. Rub the product between your hands, ready to apply it to the hair.

4. Gently glaze and scrunch

Gently smooth the product over your curls, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Try to avoid disrupting curl clumps as you scrunch the product into your hair.

5. Finish drying

Once the additional product is scrunched in, continue to air-dry or diffuse your hair until it is completely dry. This allows the product to set, providing long-lasting hold and definition.

6. Scrunch-out-the-crunch

If your curls feel slightly crispy once dry, you can gently the "scrunch-out-the-crunch" to reveal soft defined curls that last. You'll love your results!

Why use the Smasters Method?

  • Enhanced definition: Adding extra product during the styling process helps to define each curl, resulting in more defined and uniform curls.
  • Long-lasting hold: By adding more of your styling product, your curls are better equipped to withstand humidity and environmental factors, ensuring they maintain their shape throughout the day.
  • Frizz control: The Smasters Method effectively combats frizz by providing a protective layer over the hair shaft, sealing in moisture and preventing humidity from disrupting your curls.
