What Is Scrunching?
Hair scrunching is a styling technique for curly and wavy hair types.
Who Should Scrunch Their Hair?
Dr. Rubin says this styling method is about “optimizing the hair’s natural curl pattern and texture.”
“Feel free to scrunch specific sections again as the hair dries [to enhance volume].”
Detangle and Define
Next, Dr. Rubin suggestsdetanglingyour hair with awide-tooth comband applying your desired styling products.
Seen’s Curly Creme is another must-have, as it helps keep textured hair soft and defined sans frizz.
Scrunching your hair a second time ensures you’ve eliminated excess saturation and achieved maximum definition and volume.
Your decision depends on your hair’s needs and the desired outcome.
Using a diffuser will not only expedite the drying process but also help enhance volume.
However, if you choose to diffuse, always apply aheat protectantfirst.
This haircare method can help you minimize heat exposure and styling time.
In other words, there are no cons to scrunching your hair, and we love that.
