Scandi curls are different
Applying the product in the shower is the world's best hack. The water helps distribute the product evenly, naturally forms curl clumps – and makes the product a bit lighter. Which is exactly what many Scandinavian curls need, as many of us have fine strands that easily get weighed down. And it’s SO convenient. I just wrap my hair in a microfiber towel afterwards and I’m done. Works just as well at home as in the gym shower. One thing worth knowing – when I diffuse, I almost always use a gel too. When air-drying, a curl cream with a bit of hold is enough. The curl cream from By Lyko is fantastic! It’s pretty light but has hold. And it gets wonderfully slippery and a bit gel-like when you mix it with water between your hands. My favorite curl cream at the moment!1 product in post Scandi curls are different Mikaela Schönström

Really nice styling combo for you if you want definition without weighing down your hair ✨ I start with Fenty The Homecurl Curl Defining Cream, which has such an exciting consistency. When you add water and work it between your hands, it becomes much lighter, almost a bit jelly-like. It helps to gather the curls and give shape, while still keeping the hair feeling soft. Then I use Davroe Curlicue Curl Activator, which is great for light definition and frizz control. Perfect for you if you have hair that easily gets weighed down, as it is such a light formula. I finish with Davroe Curl Gel for more definition and hold. It really makes a difference - read game changer - if you want the curls to last longer and look more clearly defined.4 products in the look Curl styling definition & volume ❤️🔥776 viewsMikaela Schönström

Tested a new curl gel from Davroe. Really nice! The formula is light, easy to distribute in the hair, and gives both definition and volume. The strength? On the “gel” scale, I would say light to medium. What’s nice is that it’s buildable. If you use less, you get a more beachwavenlook. More; then you can get tighter curls. Sleep with a silk scarf at night so the curls last for several days 🌸4 products in the look 🌞🌞🌞 new curl gelMikaela Schönström

Have you found the K-beauty brand Mamonde yet? A big favorite here at home, as you can see 😂. I love their products! I'm well into the second bottle/tube of both the moisture toner and the face cream. 🌸I think the face cream “skin barrier intense cream” is the best among gentle barrier creams. I used Klairs Soothing Cream before but switched it out for Mamonde's Skin Barrier cream. I use it every day AND night! I think it feels better on the skin, absorbs REALLY well, despite being creamy, not greasy. I went through the ingredients, and Mamonde also wins on “cleanest/not hormone disrupting”. Mamonde has a thinner version of the cream (tagging it) that I might buy for high summer. Possibly this one works in the summer too, because it absorbs so nicely and doesn't clog. 🌹 If you like glow and maximum moisture, then the smaller, little pink toner, “rose liquid glow” is incredible. 🌱The pore shrinker cream with bakuchiol and a little retinol too - gives fantastic glow! 🌞 They also have a featherlight high SPF cream that feels cool on the skin. Is it supposed to lower the temperature of the skin even? 🧊 How nice during the summer? I would have bought a whole stock of it if it weren't for the fact that it has niacinamide in it. I can't tolerate it, but if YOU can, this is a mega-hot tip now that the sun is making its entrance! 🫧 And cleansing. I have two of theirs. I love Ceramide Amino Foam, gentle, removes everything, doesn't dry out. Same series as the barrier cream and moisture toner. I'm not completely on board with the cleansing balm, but I should add that I'm not on board with any cleansing balm or oil for that matter either. I get breakouts. But I have friends who like the cleansing balm! It has a faint wonderful mint scent… I wish my skin could tolerate it.8 products in the look Skincare update for spring?

I’m not joking when I say that the morning routine for curls can take about 60 seconds if you have a proper styling base and protect the curls while you sleep. I’ve tried everything possible; pillowcases, bonnets, scarves, high ponytails, all in silk/satin, as well as combinations. What I like best varies depending on hair length, season, energy... Regarding proper styling beforehand, I think I styled the curls with Fenty Homecurl Curl Cream + Evo Gangstagrip the day before. Slept with a scarf. Then I take a liiiittle Curl Cream, mix it with water between my hands, and smooth down a bit of frizz. A LITTLE. The hair should not feel wet. Tagging a few other products I have in the video as well. -MAMONDE is a real favorite K-beauty brand. High quality, cleaner ingredients than many other K-beauty brands, and top delivery. Their barrier cream/ceramide cream is the best I’ve tested. Better than the classic from Klair’s, I think. The one in the soft tube is a bit thicker (but not greasy!) - I have that one now, day and night. And the one in the hard round packaging is thinner - I’ll buy that one for summer. They have almost the same ingredients. - Torriden Dive In Skin Booster. Also a new brand for me, but I love their toner! Lots of moisture, rich without stickiness, everything sinks in, feels strengthening but gentle. Clean ingredients. Almost out and I will buy again. - Make Up Store eyeshadow stick longwear Luxe. If you haven’t tried it, do it now. Creamy upon application, it stays like a rock once it’s had some time to set. Thanks to this, I can do smoky eyes that last all day. I alternate this with eyeliner and a little shadow. - Fenty Cream Blush Cheeks Out 02 Petal Poppin. Have I ever received so many compliments for a blush before? Incredible color! You get rosy without being pink. Neither light nor dark, perfectly balanced. Right now, I like the silk scarf the best. Maybe a video on how I tie it would be something?9 products in the look Morning routine for curls - sleeping with a scarf 👸3045 viewsMikaela Schönström

Do you have curls like me that are easily weighed down by too heavy products? Here comes a quick overview of the routine in the video for those of you who want to save on steps and products. 1. Detangling mist (F-Layer) I spray it all over my hair and detangle with a wide-tooth comb. It helps the curl clumps form right away and is lightweight, moisturizing, and has both heat and UV protection. I sometimes use it on my daughter too because it’s so smooth. 2. Gel (Evo Gangsta Grip Bonding Resin) Apply this lightweight gel with Praying hands + scrunch up. It’s easy to get even, gives strong hold, and yes, it will dry "stiff" but you scrunch that out later. Blow a little warm air while, it helps. Also, some light oil you’ve rubbed between your palms. The gel reactivates with water, making it easy to refresh. 3. Microfiber towel I scrunch out some water to avoid weighing the curls down. It also speeds up the drying time. 4. Diffuser Blow dry until the cast has set (the stiff part) and then scrunch out the stiffness. Finish by fluffing up the roots a bit. For the nerds: ingredient quickie 💚 Gangsta Grip: VP/VA + metacrylate copolymer = shape, volume, less frizz. AMP-acrylates = shine without stickiness. F-Layer: Lipids that strengthen the hair strand, heat protection up to 232°, UV protection, weightless moisture.3 products in the look Lightweight curl routine ✨ 2 products ✨Mikaela Schönström

• Silk or satin near the hair A silk/satin pillowcase or bonnet reduces friction and helps the curls maintain their shape. I often use an inherited silk scarf – simple and gentle on the hair. • Pineapple or loose low ponytail Keeps the curls away from the pillow and reduces rubbing and frizz. • Simple scarf wrap when I'm tired When I can't be bothered anymore for the evening, I just quickly wrap my hair up. That’s often enough for the curls to be manageable the next morning. • Make sure the hair is dry Damp hair against the pillow makes the hair more sensitive and gives less definition the next day.4 products in the look Protect the curls while you sleep845 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko.

One of the best curl creams I've tested!
one of the best curl creams I've tested! Looks heavy in the jar – but don’t be fooled. When you mix it with a little water, something magical happens: it transforms into a light, gel-like texture that shapes the curls perfectly without weighing them down. So YES, it works for us with finer/thinner strands too. It has more hold than many other creams, almost like a mix between cream and gel. Gives soft definition, shine, and moisture that lasts for several days without feeling sticky or stiff. I often use it completely alone for everyday, especially when I want a little looser, natural curls. Incredibly easy to refresh as well. And the scent?! It’s been a long time since I received so many compliments on a scent. I love it. And it’s super concentrated – a little dab goes a long way. Start with travel size if you’re unsure. ✨ A new favorite in the bathroom shelf!1 product in post One of the best curl creams I've tested!441 views- The comment was made 4 monthsMy sister confirms that it is the best curling cream she has tested, and let me tell you, a whole bunch of different curling creams have been tested 😍😍

Here come two of my absolute favorites! We start with Fenty The Homecurl Curl Defining Cream Looks heavy in the jar – but as soon as you mix it with water, magic happens. It transforms into a light, gel-like texture that shapes the curls without weighing them down. Contains bio-based esters and modern polymers that provide shine, moisture, and definition without stickiness. Also includes amino acids and rice protein that strengthen the hair and improve elasticity – perfect for bleached or fine strands that need structure but not more weight. And it’s super concentrated – a little goes a long way. Result: soft, shiny curls with natural definition and light “memory hold,” that even withstands a blow dryer with a diffuser as the only product?! I have no other curl cream that can do that. 🤍 BRUNS Hair Soufflé N°14 A favorite I’ve used for several years – and it works for everything: curls, volume, or blow-drying. I will never let this go Builds strength and fullness with aloe vera, silk protein, and xanthan gum, without feeling rough or salty. Also provides definition and moisture. Can actually be used as a standalone product if desired. And it has heat protection - love it! Both are available in travel size if you want to test first 💫4 products in the look 2 favorite products for my curls6040 views- The user's roll: Employees at Lyko.
