Step by step to revitalize curls the day after: learn how to define the strands
Once you've gathered everything you'll need, it's time to learn step-by-step how to make homemade day after. Here's how to define the wires in five steps:
Step 1: Use the spray bottle with water to moisten the curls. Spray water evenly throughout your hair and use your hands to spread the liquid between strands.
Step 2: Start applying the Day After Spray to damp strands, using your fingers to spread the product over the entire length of the locks as if making a tape. To facilitate the application, divide the hair in half and spray the portion you deem necessary to revitalize the curls in each half.
Step 3: Apply your styling cream or setting pudding to the ends only to define curls. Run your fingers through the strands, like a ribbon, to spread the product and encourage the formation of curls.
Tip: as it's just a revitalization, it's important not to exaggerate the amount of cream. If you are following this day after step by step for short curly hair, apply even less product so as not to weigh the strands down. On the day after curly hair 2B and 2A, which are less voluminous, it is also important to be careful not to weigh the strands down, as they still have residue from the previous day's styling.
Step 4: Use the curling iron to dry your hair, keeping the device vertical and always moving from top to bottom. Avoid letting the wind concentrate on the ends for many minutes so as not to dry out.
Step 5: With dry hair, squeeze the curls lightly from the bottom up to loosen them up and give the locks a little more movement and volume.

Extra tip: how to wake up with defined curls the day after
The day after with curly hair can be even better if you manage to protect the locks overnight. As what causes the hair to lose definition is the friction of the strands with the pillow, the tip is to reduce this excess contact by using a cap or pillowcase made of satin or silk, which are slippery fabrics.
Making a pineapple bun before going to bed is also a good way to prevent your curls from becoming too tangled in the morning. This will make it easier to revitalize and regain definition the next day.
