About the Spiral Tresses for Women
Who it suits
Extra-long, springy spiral curls suit those with naturally curly hair who want dramatic length and defined structure from mid-lengths to ends. It flatters oval and long faces by adding width, and works best on dense, well-defined curl patterns. Choose it if your curls clump and spring well and you want maximum length kept intact.
How to ask for it
Ask for an extra-long cut shaped on dry, shrunken curls so true length is preserved, with a near-uniform perimeter and minimal layering to keep the spirals dense. Request distinct, springy spiral definition maintained from the mid-lengths down to the ends, point-cutting only to remove split tips without disturbing the curl pattern.
Upkeep & styling
Trim dry, curl by curl, every 10 to 12 weeks to protect length and shape. Define with leave-in and a curl cream or gel on soaking-wet hair, scrunch and diffuse on low, and refresh between washes with water and a little gel. Sleep in a pineapple on satin.
Spiral Tresses — frequently asked questions
How do I keep spirals defined to the ends?
Apply curl product to soaking-wet hair and scrunch from the ends upward to encourage the spiral, then diffuse on low heat without disturbing the curls until they are set.
Why so few layers on long spirals?
Keeping the length near-uniform preserves density and weight so the spirals hang long and defined. Heavy layering can thin the curls and shorten how long they appear.
How do I protect this length overnight?
Gather the curls loosely on top of your head in a pineapple and sleep on satin or silk. This prevents flattening and friction so you wake with the spirals intact.
Does extra length weigh curls down?
It can stretch tighter curls slightly, but keeping minimal layers and the right product weight lets the spirals keep their spring even at extra-long lengths.
