Defining techniques for curls: volume, control, or both

Learning how to properly define your curly hair can make a difference in your curly routine. We'll explain three key techniques for achieving spectacular curls with volume, definition, or a combination of both.

Within the curly method , definition is one of the most important steps to achieving shape, movement, and long-lasting curls. But not all curly hair is the same, which is why it's essential to know different definition techniques that adapt to your needs.

Today we're answering a key question: Do you want to learn how to make the most of your curls? We'll show you three different ways to style your hair, depending on your hair goals.

Volume technique

Designed for those who want hair with body, bounce, and movement. This technique relies on using very lightweight products that don't weigh down the curls and allow for volume to expand.

Step by step:

1. Apply products in blocks, preferably on very wet hair.
2. Tilt your head upside down and part your hair with your fingers.
3. Scrunch (squeeze the curls upwards) to help form them.
4. Dry with a diffuser, always with your head inverted to enhance volume.
5. Result: light, shaped curls with lots of natural volume.

Definition technique

For those looking for defined, shiny, and long-lasting hair. It's ideal if you want to control frizz and keep your curls in shape all day long.

Step by step:

2. Apply the setting gel to each section and brush with the Mira y Mira brush to distribute the product well.
3. Scrunch to activate the curls.
4. Repeat throughout the hair and dry with a diffuser.

Result: well-defined, polished, long-lasting curls with less frizz.

Intermediate technique: volume + definition

The most versatile technique, designed for those who don't want to compromise. A balanced combination of volume and definition that works great for everyday use.

4. Scrunch again and diffuse dry.
