How to Use Calling All Curls: Cleanse, Hydrate, Moisturize, and Set Your Curls

A clear curl-care routine connects your products with the way you style your hair. Begin with Calling All Curls Moisturizing Shampoo, follow with Moisturizing Spray, then apply Moisturizing Lotion. Shape your curls and let them air-dry, or use a compatible diffuser with low heat and airflow.

The Calling All Curls Essentials Collection brings those three products together for wash-day care and between-wash refresh. When you need help with tangles, Crown of Glory’s Rejuvenating Leave-In Conditioner can support the routine before styling.

Rooted in our family hair-care heritage since 1979, Daurham Hair Products offers practical guidance to help you choose your essentials and use them with confidence.

Everyday Care for Curly and Coily Hair

Calling All Curls is for curly and coily hair that needs cleansing, hydration, moisture, and styling support. Whether you wear a wash-and-go, finger-coil selected pieces, or refresh your natural texture between washes, start with caring for your hair before shaping your curls.

The core is simple: shampoo for cleansing, spray for hydration, and lotion for moisture care and curl definition. Your styling technique follows that foundation.

A supporting detangler gives you another option when knots make styling difficult. It complements the three essentials and is sold separately.

Step One: Cleanse With Moisturizing Shampoo

Begin wash day with Calling All Curls Moisturizing Shampoo. It gently cleanses while helping maintain moisture, preparing your curls for the care that follows.

Apply to wet hair and gently massage into your scalp. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed.

Complete the cleanse and rinse before moving on. Shampoo belongs to wash-day cleansing; refreshing your curls between washes does not require starting the full routine again.

Supporting Care: Detangle Before Styling

When your hair needs detangling support, reach for Crown of Glory Rejuvenating Leave-In Conditioner. It helps detangle and soften hair while supporting manageability.

Apply to damp or dry hair as needed and work through evenly. Do not rinse.

For detangling, work on wet or damp hair in manageable sections. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and gently working upward. Pause at knots rather than pulling through them.

This supporting step gives you a way to address tangles before curl shaping. The leave-in is an addition to the Calling All Curls collection, not a fourth product included in the bundle.

Step Two: Hydrate With Moisturizing Spray

Calling All Curls Moisturizing Spray provides hydration and curl refresh.

Spray onto damp or dry hair as needed for moisture support. You can also use it to refresh curls throughout the day.

On wash day, the spray is the hydration step before the lotion. Between washes, it gives you a way to return to hydration without repeating cleansing.

Step Three: Moisturize With Moisturizing Lotion

Follow with Calling All Curls Moisturizing Lotion. It supports moisture, softness, manageability, and curl definition, connecting care with styling.

Apply to damp or dry hair, distribute evenly through your curls, and style as desired.

Work in sections when that makes even application easier. Once the product is distributed, move into shaping rather than repeatedly combing through curls you have already formed.

Shape and Define Your Curls

Detangling and curl shaping are different steps. First, gently remove tangles. Then arrange your hair into small sections or curl groups—several strands that come together to form a curl.

Choose a shaping technique that fits your texture and the finish you want:

Finger-coiling: Take a small section of damp hair and twirl it around your finger, following the direction it naturally curls. Gently release it. You can work through the whole style or focus on pieces that need more definition.

Scrunching: Cup the ends in your palm and gently lift and squeeze upward toward the scalp. This encourages curl formation without individually coiling each section.

You do not need to do both. Once you are happy with the shape, give your curls time to dry with minimal handling.

To remove excess water gently, use a soft T-shirt or microfiber towel to squeeze rather than rub your hair.

Dry Gently to Help Set Your Curls

A diffuser spreads a blow dryer’s airflow across a wider area, helping dry curls with less disruption to their shape.

Use a compatible attachment and follow your dryer’s instructions. Begin with low heat and low airflow. Move through the sections without repeatedly rearranging your curls. If the diffuser is designed for cupping, support the curls gently.

You can also air-dry. Either way, allow your hair to dry before judging the finished style.

Drying helps set the style you have arranged; it does not permanently change your natural curl pattern.

When using heat, use an appropriate heat-protection product according to its directions. Do not assume a moisturizing product also provides heat protection.

Between-Wash Refresh and Overnight Care

Between washes, reach for Moisturizing Spray for hydration and refresh. Use Moisturizing Lotion for moisture care and styling support on damp or dry hair.

You do not need to repeat every product at every refresh. You may only need to reshape a few pieces with gentle finger-coiling, then let them dry again.

At night, a satin bonnet or pillowcase can help protect your curls from friction. If your hair is long enough, gather it loosely at the top of your head in a pineapple. Keep it comfortable and avoid tight pulling.

These small habits give your styled curls care beyond wash day.
