Your Curls Are About to POP! ✨
Say hello to your new curl defining bestie! Our IslaCurl Defining Brush makes it easier to create those juicy, separated, super defined curls and ringlets you see all over our page.
The ridges along three sides of the brush help grab, separate, and shape the hair while smoothing it down for that sleek, polished curl definition we love.
How to Use the IslaCurl Defining Brush
1. Start with detangled hair
Before using the IslaCurl Defining Brush, gently detangle your hair with a detangling brush, such as the white brush included with your IslandLuxe order. The IslaCurl has dense bristles that are designed for curl definition, not detangling, so starting with tangle-free hair helps minimize unnecessary pulling and makes styling much easier.
2. Apply your styling product
Apply your favorite mousse or curl-defining gel throughout the hair. For the best results, avoid extremely thick or heavy styling products, as they can weigh the hair down and interfere with your natural curl pattern.
3. Define each section
Make sure the hair is soaking wet before you begin. Separate the hair into small sections no wider than 1 cm and no longer than the length of the brush.
Starting near the root, position the brush so the hair sits inside the grooves. Slowly glide the brush down the entire section, allowing the ridges to separate and encourage the curls to form.
4. Scrunch and set
Once you’ve brushed through a section, gently scrunch the hair upward with your hands. This helps encourage the curls or coils to spring into place.
Continue working in small sections until the entire head is defined.
5. Remove excess product & dry
Once you’re finished, use a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt to gently scrunch the hair and remove excess styling product and water. Avoid rubbing the hair, as this can create frizz and disrupt your curl definition.
Finish by air drying or diffusing until completely dry. Once your hair is fully dry, your curls are ready to show off!
Please note: This brush is not recommended for our Coily textures. Our coily textures are much thicker and denser, so this brush works best with textures that have a looser curl or wave pattern.
If you’ve been wondering how to get those defined, bouncy curls you see on our social media… this is it! Add it to your styling routine and get ready to watch those curls come to life!

Shedding & Tangling
Shedding is a normal part of wearing curly extensions. Because they’re made from real human hair, some shedding can occur over time, just as it does with natural hair.
You may notice shedding more during your first detangle or wash, as any loose strands from the wefting process are released. With a consistent haircare routine, you can expect minimal shedding each day.
Curly hair will tangle. It is simply the nature of curly textures. Sleeping on it, sweating, working out, and everyday activities friction against your clothes or the back of your neck can cause the curls to tangle up over time. I always recommend detangling the hair at least every 3 to 4 days so it does not become overly tangled or matted. Letting hair go too long without detangling can cause more shedding than usual when you finally comb through it.
Important
Always detangle the hair when it’s damp and conditioned. Handling it while dry can create tension and lead to shedding.
Red/Golds Strands
Red/Gold Strands: Even though the strands are barely visible, Red/Gold strands in virgin hair can naturally occur after the steaming process. These strands are not synthetic—synthetic fibers would melt like plastic, whereas real hair burns to ash. In some cases, donors may also have naturally occurring red/Gold tones due to UV exposure from sunlight.
Length Check
Hair bundles are measured when stretched, not in their natural curly state. The tighter the curl pattern, the more shrinkage occurs. To get an accurate length, gently stretch the bundle and measure from the weft to the tip of the hair. This ensures you capture the true length, especially for curly or wavy textures, which can appear shorter due to shrinkage.
