Your Humidity Proof Routine for 2A - 3B Waves and Curls
The frizz. The puff. The definition that disappears by noon.
In the thick of summer, those are the real villains. One minute your curls are defined, juicy, and full of bounce — the next, they're stretching, swelling, and drowning in a halo of frizz that makes you want to wrap it up and call it a day.
But here's the secret: there's a way to fight back.
It's called a cast.
And that's where the Curl League steps in: three stylers, one mission… keep your curls in formation.

What Is Humidity — and Why Does It Wreck Your Hair?
Humidity is just water vapor in the air — pulled from the ground, plants, and everything around us. The hotter it gets, the more vapor hangs in the air… and your hair drinks it up like a sponge.
That extra moisture causes hair to swell, leading to frizz, puffiness, and loss of definition. Depending on your texture, this might look like:
– Waves that fall flat
– Curls that puff out
– Coils that shrink or frizz
It's totally normal — but preventable.
The trick? Blocking that moisture.
That's where your cast comes in.

2A–3B Waves & Curls: Buildable Layers for Light-Weight, Long-Lasting Definition
Hold without heaviness is the key for you — something that seals in definition while keeping curls bouncy and roots lifted.
Orange Marmalade is going to be your best friend. Use it as a single styler on mildly humid days for hold and bounce, or use it as a base to layer Lemon Drop and Jello Shot when you need extra staying power.
Your Humidity Routine:
Start with a leave-in (like Rice Pudding or your go-to hydrator)
→ Adds moisture without weighing curls down
Section your hair
→ This helps ensure even application and better cast formation
Apply Orange Marmalade
→ Rake through soaking wet hair for juicy, clumped definition
→ Scrunch upward to encourage curl pattern
Layer Lemon Drop Foam on top
→ Focus on the crown and outer layers for bounce, lift, and humidity protection
Diffuse or air dry — goal is a firm cast
→ Avoid touching hair while drying
→ Once fully dry, avoid touching the cast for as long as possible for a prolonged wear.
Styling Options by Humidity Level:
Mild Humidity:
Single Styler: Orange Marmalade
→ Ideal for soft definition and all-day bounce without weight
Moderate Humidity:
Reinforce the cast: Orange Marmalade + Lemon Drop
→ Add Lemon Drop to lift at the roots and strengthens cast without stiffness
High Humidity:
Add the ultimate protection: Lemon Drop + Orange Marmalade + Jello Shot
→ Max hold and definition — apply Jello Shot to outer layers and high-frizz zones for extra reinforcement
Humidity doesn't have to ruin your curls.
With the right cast, the right combo, and a little strategy, your hair can thrive — no matter what the forecast says.
Choose your heroes. Build your shield. Stay in formation.
