Taking Curls On A Trip

Featuring Joico Brand Storyteller, Olivia Thompson

If there’s a way to preserve my curls on vacation and spend less time in the hotel, I’m here for it!” says Joico Brand Storyteller (and hair-hack superstar), Olivia Thompson. Today, she’s revealing her tricks for creating curls that stay put for days and days, while giving hair a holiday from heat. Here’s the routine…

First up, Olivia packs 4 TRAVEL-SIZE products…

Super velvety and easy to use, this mousse-like volumizer disappears into hair for 72-hour volume, control, and frizz protection.

Unlike traditional, powdery/parching dry-shampoo formulas, this timesaving spray gives you fresh, clean, velvety-soft hair without stripping investment hair color; adds light volume and texture; along with just enough grip to keep things from moving.

Gives instant volume with a single, airy “poof” of product.

Lock curls into place with ultra-firm hold, mega shine, UV protection, and a formula that keeps your style intact for a full 3 days.

1. First up, it’s time for bed…
After Day One of vacay, your curls are ready to snooze for the night. Apply Power Whip Whipped Foam to dry hair from the ears down. Allow to dry thoroughly.

2. And now for a pony…
Instead of leaving curls to fend for themselves all night, Olivia puts them into protection mode. “The real trick with this style-preserving pony lies in gathering all the hair at the very top of your head. That way, when you sleep, your pony isn’t in the way and you’re not crushing the curls,” explains Olivia. Simply gather hair into a very high pony, and gently wrap with a plastic, spiral holder at the base.

3. Wakey, wakey…
Remove the spiral holder, shake out your ponytail, and apply Weekend Hair Dry Shampoo throughout hair to soak up any oil and refresh strands instantly.

4. Brush your curls – but gently…
Remember, we’re trying to preserve those curls, so don’t go at them with gusto! Instead, brush curls gently, starting from the bottom and working your way up.

5. Add volume to the top…
To make sure crown hair has the same oomph as the curls, Olivia reaches for Rise Up Powder Spray and – holding individual sections up and working her way from back to front – hits them with a poof of product for instant lift.

6. Seal the deal…
For that last bit of protection, it’s time for an application of Power Spray – the hairspray that delivers 8+ levels of hold. “The more I spray, the more it holds,” raves Olivia, who applies the product layer by layer for maximum longevity.
