IRIDESCENCE CURL GUIDE

Simple care for healthy, hydrated curls

Welcome to Iridescence.

We don't believe curls need to be tamed.
We believe they need to be understood, nourished and celebrated.

Your curl journey doesn't need to be complicated. With the right products, plenty of water and a consistent routine, you can learn what your curls need and create a routine that works for you.

Our simple system is:

CLEANSE → SEAL → GLAZE → LOCK

Each step has a purpose. Together, they help cleanse, hydrate, define and hold your natural curl pattern.

STEP 1 — CLEANSE

Curl Define & Hydrate Shampoo

Cleanses • Soothes • Hydrates

Start with a clean, comfortable scalp and hydrated hair.

4. Pay attention to your hairline, crown, nape and behind your ears.

5. Rinse thoroughly.

6. Repeat a second time.

CURL TIP

Shampoo the scalp. Condition the hair.

Your scalp is where you need to focus your cleansing. The shampoo will naturally rinse through the lengths of your hair.

STEP 2 — SEAL

Daily Moisture Conditioner

Hydrate • Detangle • Smooth • Strengthen

This is your everyday moisture step.

Iridescence Daily Moisture Conditioner delivers softness, slip and hydration to help detangle your curls, smooth the hair and improve manageability without weighing your curls down.

A plant-derived conditioning system that provides smooth slip and easier detangling.

HOW TO USE

1. Apply to damp hair after shampooing.

2. Work through your lengths and ends.

3. Gently detangle, starting at the ends and working upwards.

4. Leave for 1–3 minutes.

5. Rinse.

CURL TIP

If your hair is very dry, take your time with this step. Hydrated hair gives you a much better foundation for styling.

STEP 3 — GLAZE

Curl Glaze

Hydrate • Define • Soften

Think of Curl Glaze as your hydration + definition step.

Apply your styling products while your curls are still very wet. Water helps create the hydration your curls need, while Curl Glaze helps bring your natural curl families together.

Hero ingredients

Glycerin
Attracts moisture to help curls stay hydrated, soft and defined.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
Helps condition the hair, improve elasticity and support moisture retention.

Cetearyl Alcohol
A nourishing fatty alcohol that helps soften and smooth the hair while providing slip.

Beeswax
Helps define curls, seal in moisture and provide flexible control.

Dimethicone
Helps smooth the hair cuticle, control frizz, add shine and protect against humidity.

PVP + VP/VA Copolymer
Styling polymers that help curls maintain their shape and definition.

HOW TO USE

1. Step out of the shower with your hair very wet.

2. Apply Curl Glaze to wet hands.

3. Smooth the product over your curls from roots towards the ends.

4. Make sure you cover the areas that tend to become driest.

5. Scrunch your curls upwards to encourage your natural curl pattern.

HOW MUCH?

Start with a small amount and build as needed.

Fine curls: Start lighter to avoid weighing your curls down.

Coarse or very dry curls: You may need more product to properly hydrate and define.

STEP 4 — LOCK

Curl Lock

Hold • Define • Lock in hydration

This is your final styling step.

Curl Lock helps your curls hold their shape as they dry, helping maintain definition and reduce the appearance of frizz.

Hero ingredients

Glycerin
Helps attract and retain moisture, keeping curls hydrated and soft.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
Helps condition the hair and support moisture retention.

VP/VA Copolymer
Provides flexible hold to help curls maintain their shape and bounce.

PVP
Provides additional hold and definition.

HOW TO USE

1. Apply Curl Lock over your wet curls.

2. Smooth it over your hair with your hands.

3. Scrunch upwards to encourage your curl pattern.

4. Focus on areas that tend to become frizzy, such as the crown and hairline.

5. Leave your curls to dry without disturbing them.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE CAST

As Curl Lock dries, your curls may feel firm or crunchy.

That's okay!

The cast is helping to hold your curl shape while your hair dries.

Once your hair is 100% dry, gently scrunch your curls with clean, dry hands to soften the cast.

This is called:

S.O.T.C.

Scrunch Out The Crunch

The result should be soft, defined curls with movement and shape.

DRYING YOUR CURLS

AIR DRY

The simplest option.

Once your products are applied, leave your curls alone while they dry.

Try not to touch, brush or rearrange your curls while they're wet.

Less touching = less frizz.

DIFFUSE

A diffuser can speed up drying and help create volume.

For best results:

• Start with your hair upside down for extra volume.

• Avoid moving your curls around too much while they are setting.

• Dry your ends and mid-lengths first.

• Once your curls are mostly dry, focus on your roots.

• Finish with your preferred level of volume and definition.

REFRESH DAY

Your curls don't have to be perfect every morning.

They've been slept on, moved around and exposed to the environment. That's completely normal.

Instead of washing your hair again, try a simple refresh.

YOU'LL NEED

Water + Curl Lock

HOW TO REFRESH

1. Gently shake your roots to loosen your curls.

2. Lightly mist your hair with water.

3. Once your hair is damp, apply a small amount of Curl Lock to your hands.

4. Smooth and scrunch your curls.

5. Allow to air dry or diffuse.

WHY IT WORKS

The water reactivates the styling products already in your hair.

Curl Lock helps lock that fresh moisture back in.

SLEEPING WITH CURLS

Friction can disturb your curl pattern while you sleep.

Try one of these:

SATIN SCRUNCHIE

Gather your curls loosely on top of your head in a "pineapple".

SATIN BONNET

Helps protect your curls while you sleep.

SATIN PILLOWCASE

A simple alternative for reducing friction.

You don't need all three.

Find what works for you.

CURL TROUBLESHOOTING

MY CURLS ARE FRIZZY

Think hydration first.

Ask yourself:

• Am I applying my products to very wet hair?

• Am I using enough Glaze?

• Am I using enough Lock?

• Am I touching my curls while they're drying?

• Could friction be disturbing my curls?

MY CURLS FEEL DRY

Focus on moisture.

Use your Daily Moisture Conditioner consistently and make sure your styling products are being applied while your hair is very wet.

MY CURLS ARE FLAT

Try:

• Styling upside down

• Using less product if your hair is fine

• Diffusing

• Lifting your roots while drying

• Keeping heavy styling products away from your scalp

MY CURLS ARE CRUNCHY

Wait until your hair is completely dry.

Then gently scrunch to soften the cast.

Crunchy while drying doesn't mean crunchy forever.

MY CURLS DON'T ALL LOOK THE SAME

That's normal.

Most people have multiple curl patterns, textures and densities across their head.

Your curls don't need to match.

Your texture is yours.
