Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do Curl Refresh Results Last?
Sulfate-free Fructis Curl Refresher Spray provides up to 48 hours of curl definition with no weigh down. Its gentle lightweight formula means you can reapply our curl refresher as often needed. Use together with Fructis Curl Nourish Shampoo and Conditioner to complete your curl care regimen.

Will Fructis Curl Refresher Spray Leave My Curls Crunchy or Weighed Down?
Say goodbye to crunchy, weighed down curls with Garnier’s Curl Refresher Spray. Our specially formulated curl quencher not only boosts moisture levels, but also reactivates and reawakens curls, coils and kinks without the dreaded crunch or stickiness.

Can I Use Curl Refresher Spray on Dry or Damp Hair?
Yes, Fructis Curl Refresher Spray works equally well on dry or slightly damp curls. However, we do not recommend applying curl refresher to very wet hair as too much water dilutes the product, potentially causing frizz and less curl definition.

How Often Should I Use Curl Refresher Spray?
Curls looking a little limp? Time to reach for your new BFF, aka curl refreshing spray! The good news is you can use our spray for curly hair as often as you need — on the go, after the gym, between wash days — to give your curls a bounce boost and moisture infusion.

Is Curl Refresher Spray Suitable for All Curl Types?
Whether you’ve been blessed with curls, coils, waves, corkscrews or ringlets, our specially formulated Curl Refresher Spray infused with coconut oil banishes frizz, and adds moisture and bounce to all curl types without weighing down your locks.

Is Curl Refresher Spray Safe for Color-Treated Hair?
Curl Refresher Spray is safe to use on all color-treated curls thanks to it gentle, sulfate-free formula. Sulfates — common ingredients found in many hair care products — can strip hair of color, causing it to fade more quickly. Look out for hair care products that are sulfate-free to help maintain your color for longer. If required, perform a patch test prior to use.

This product was useless on my hair. Better results with plain water. I bought after the milk renew reactivating product was discontinued, that product was Awesome on my hair. Made it soft, brought my curls back to life. As usual, as soon as you find something that works for you it gets discontinued. Now I have to start over and find new products. I prefer to use all the same manufacturer for my products, so Garnier you have lost a good customer.

Great product for refreshing my curls on day two and three. I first mist my hair then spray a few pumps and shake my hair. Works great with the air dry cream! Now i just hope Garnier doesn’t discontinue it!

Terrible

11 months ago
This new product is terrible, it weighs my hair down and makes it feel dirty. I loved the Curl Renew Reactivating Milk Spray with coconut oil. The new product is nothing like the Curl Renew. My hair would get a nice wavy curl to it and felt so nice, also took the frizz out of my hair and it lasted all day. Please tell me you will bring it back, and please don't tell me the Curl Refresher is the same, it is nothing like the Curl Renew. To bad I had to choose 1 star, not worth that.

It doesn't revive my curls. Water works better.

I'm not as happy with this product as I was with the milk spray. Thw milk spray worked beautifully on my hair. It never fails, everytime I find a product that works and I love, it is discontinued. I'll have to look elsewhere for a curl reviving product.
