How to Keep Curls from Falling Flat: The Curl Hack You’ve Never Tried (Using Pattern Curl Mousse)

Let’s talk about a struggle nearly every curly or wavy-haired person has faced:

Your curls look amazing when you first style them… but by the afternoon? Deflated. Limp. Sad.

It’s frustrating, especially when you’ve done everything right - curl cream, gel, scrunching, diffusing - and still end up with hair that looks like it gave up halfway through the day.

Here’s a curl hack I swear by that sounds weird, feels awkward… but works like MAGIC!

The Curl Hack That Will Change Everything

Apply mousse when your hair is 50% dry.

Yes, 50% dry.

I know, it goes against every curly hair tutorial that says to apply styling products on sopping wet hair. But here’s why this works, especially when using Pattern Beauty Curl Mousse (now available in the Curls Monthly Product Vault):

  • Mousse adds structure and lift to curls that are already starting to form

  • Applying it mid-dry phase means it locks in your curl shape

  • It gives your curls that bouncy, springy hold- without crunch

✨ What makes Pattern Beauty Curl Mousse so good?

This ultra-lightweight, protein-free mousse is packed with Marshmallow Root and Castor Oil, meaning you get:

  • Volume without the frizz

  • Hold without stiffness

  • Shine without grease

  • Zero buildup

Plus, it’s super viral for a reason- and it’s not just the gorgeous packaging.

How to Use Pattern Curl Mousse for All-Day Curls

  1. Style your curls as usual with your favorite curl cream or leave-in, add Pattern Mousse (or any other styling product) to your curls as you normally would.

  2. Let your hair air-dry or diffuse until it's about 50% dry

  3. Now gently glaze in 2–3 pumps of Pattern Curl Mousse all throughout your hair.

  4. Continue drying, and watch your curls hold their shape way longer than usual
