Flora & Curl Sweet Hibiscus Curl Volumizing Foam Review

Sharing is caring!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned while embracing my natural tresses, it’s that not all products are created equal.

We all know searching for the perfect curl companion can be quite an adventure.

I’ve tried many products over the years, and Flora & Curl Sweet Hibiscus Curl Volumizing Foam is hands down one of my favorites. It’s a holy grail product in my arsenal.

The name alone instantly grabbed my attention (who doesn’t love sweet hibiscus?), but does it live up to the promise of transforming our curls into the voluminous, bouncy dreams we yearn for?

Let’s dive headfirst into my experience with this curl volumizer.

Understanding the Magic Ingredients Behind Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam

A Breakdown of Key Ingredients

Let’s chat about what’s in this little magic bottle, shall we?

As you might guess from the name, Sweet Hibiscus is the star of the show in Flora & Curl’s Volumizing Foam. Hibiscus is our curly hair’s best friend as it stimulates hair growth, even from dormant hair follicles in bald patches (Yes, you heard it right!).

But it doesn’t stop there. It also does a fab job of conditioning our curls, leaving them soft, shiny, and oh-so-touchable.

Next up, we’ve got Marshmallow Root Extract – no, not the stuff in our favorite campfire treat, but a slippery herb that gives ‘slip’ a whole new meaning. It makes detangling a breeze and gives our curls a beautiful, bouncy hold.

Now, onto Agave Nectar Extract, the secret to that much sought-after volume. It moisturizes the hair deeply, tames frizz, and as a natural humectant, it helps our curls retain moisture, leading to plumper, more volumized curls.

These ingredients are like the superhero squad of curl care, working harmoniously to give us that curl volume we’ve been dreaming of!

5 Ways to Integrate Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam into Your Hair Care Routine

Pre-Styling

Let’s talk about pre-styling. We all know it’s an essential step to get our curls looking their very best.

And let me tell you, the Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam is an absolute game-changer when it comes to this. A couple of pumps is enough – a little goes a long way, trust me.

I spread it evenly over my palms and fingers and then ‘rake’ it gently through my curls, from root to tip, making sure to coat each curl. Ladies, this is our first defense in achieving those dreamy, voluminous curls!

On wash days, I use this product along with three others. This is called layering (which I’ll go into in a few minutes.)

But on days I’m not washing my hair, I use it as a curl refresher…

Refreshing Curls

Let’s talk about those in-between wash days, shall we?

We all know the struggle to keep our curls refreshed and bouncy when it’s not time for a full wash. This is where Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam really shines.

On those second or third-day curls, when they start to look a bit tired and lifeless, a little refresh is all we need.

Here’s what I do: I spritz my hair lightly with water to dampen it – not soaking wet, just a tad moist.

Then, I apply a pump or two of the foam, spread it over my hands, and scrunch it gently into my curls, focusing on areas that need a little extra love. Voila!

It’s like a mini spa treatment for my curls, and they perk right up, rejuvenated, and ready to face another day.

And the best part? It doesn’t weigh down my hair or leave any flaky residue. It’s my secret weapon for keeping my curls looking on point, even on non-wash days.

You can also use this product on dry hair, but I’ve noticed the best results when I slightly dampen my hair.

Ok, on to wash days and how I use this product with others.

Layering Products

We curlies know that the right product combination can be the difference between a ‘meh’ hair day and a ‘wow’ hair day.

I’ve found that the Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam plays well with others, and it’s become a key player in my hair care routine.

Here’s my personal recipe for success:

After washing, I apply my favorite leave-in conditioner to hydrate my curls and use a wide-tooth comb to comb through my curls and evenly distribute the conditioner. (Unless I’ve applied a deep conditioner, then I skip the leave-in.)

Next up is my favorite curl cream. (I haven’t tried Flora & Curl’s Curl Lotion/Cream yet, but it’s on my wish list.) I rake this through my hair and then scrunch it in.

Then comes the foam – remember to rake it through your curls for an even application and then scrunch it in. The foam works its magic by adding that gorgeous volume without any stiffness.

Then I finish with a touch of gel on top of the foam. I use the slide method with the gel, which is when you start at the root and slide your hands down to the ends of your hair.

I personally like to scrunch in the gel next, but some ladies only do the slide method.

After adding all of these products (I know, it’s a lot. But remember, I only do all of this on wash days), I take my microfiber towel and scrunch out the extra product and water.

Then (are you tired yet, phew!), I either air-dry it or diffuse it.

The result? Hydrated, bouncy, voluminous curls that last all day. This foam has definitely earned its spot on my product lineup, ladies! I encourage you all to experiment and see how it best fits into your routine.

Tackling Common Hair Issues with Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam

Combatting Flat Curls

We’ve all faced those days when our curls fall flat, lacking the life and bounce we crave. But let me tell you, Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam has been my knight in shining armor when it comes to battling the dreaded flat curl days. It’s like an instant pick-me-up!

When my curls feel particularly deflated, I spritz my hair with a little water and then apply a few pumps of this foam. I scrunch it in from ends to roots, lifting at the root to really maximize that volume.

And, let me tell you, the transformation is real. My curls bounce back to life, looking more voluminous and lively.

It’s like a shot of espresso for my curls, giving them the pep they need. So, if you’re battling flat curls like I was, this volumizing foam might be the superhero your hair needs!

Preventing Frizz

Frizz. That five-letter word is the bane of any curly girl’s existence. We’ve all been there, haven’t we?

Well, let me share some good news, curl fam. Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam has proven to be quite the frizz fighter in my hair care arsenal. It’s a powerhouse for taming frizz.

When I use this foam, my curls become a frizz-free zone, and oh, how I adore that! I simply apply it to my damp hair, scrunch it in, and then let my curls dry naturally or with a diffuser.

So, it’s giving my curls the volume boost they crave and ensuring they stay smooth, defined, and frizz-free. Talk about a win-win!

Addressing Dryness

Dryness can be a major party pooper when it comes to embracing our natural curls. But guess what? Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam has a knack for tackling this issue too.

One of the key ingredients, Burdock, is like a moisture magnet for our hair, drawing in hydration and locking it in our curls.

The result? Curls that are nourished, moisturized, and feel as good as they look.

By using this foam in my regular routine, I’ve noticed a significant decrease in dryness. My curls feel moisturized, plump, and healthy, with a noticeable shine that screams hydration.

So, if your curls are craving some extra moisture, this volumizing foam could be the drink they need!

1. Great for All Different Curl Types

One of the things I absolutely love about the Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam is its versatility. Whether you’re rocking waves, spirals, corkscrews, or coils, this foam has got you covered.

Because it’s lightweight, it doesn’t weigh down looser curl patterns or waves, letting them live their best bouncy life.

For you ladies with tighter curl patterns, you are not left out. It’s moisturizing and volumizing enough to give those beautiful coils and kinks the hydration and plumpness they deserve.

I’ve also found it amazing on fine and thick hair. It’s not too heavy for fine-haired gals and provides enough hold and moisture for those of us with thicker tresses.

It’s like a universal curl language that all curl types can understand and appreciate.

So, regardless of your curl pattern or texture, this foam could very well be the curl enhancer you’ve been searching for!

This means they’re skipping out on harsh chemicals that could harm our precious environment (and our curls!).

By using the Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam, we’re treating our curls to a luxurious experience and making a choice that aligns with a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.

And here’s the icing on the cake, their packaging is recyclable. So, after we’ve squeezed out every last bit of this magical foam, we can toss the container in the recycling bin, helping to reduce waste.

3. Value for Money

Alright, let’s talk dollars and cents.

We all know that quality hair care products can be an investment, but here’s the thing about the Flora & Curl Volumizing Foam – it’s worth every penny.

You might look at the price tag and think it’s a bit on the higher end, but let me break it down for you.

This foam packs a punch in terms of benefits. It hydrates, volumizes, combats frizz, adds shine, and is gentle on our curls with its natural ingredients – that’s a lot of boxes it’s ticking off.

Then there’s the quantity – a little goes a long way with this foam, and the bottle lasts. I’ve found that a couple of pumps are enough for each use, meaning it will stay in your routine for a while before it’s time to purchase more.

So, if you’re considering cost per use, it’s actually quite economical. I like to think of it as an investment in my curls. I’m willing to spend a little extra to get something that delivers results and keeps my curls looking fabulous.

And let me tell you, this foam has been worth every cent.
