VitaCurl: Products Designed to Celebrate Spiral Curls

When you think of spiral curls, you think of bounce, shine, and movement,  but also the unique challenges that come with them. Spirals can be tighter at the root, looser at the ends, frizz-prone in humidity, and thirsty for hydration year-round. That’s exactly why Ouidad created VitaCurl: a collection crafted specifically for spiral curls, giving them the nourishment, definition, and hold they need to look their best without compromise.

And this year, there’s even more to celebrate: the VitaCurl Styling Serum just hit its 1-year anniversary on September 5. In twelve short months, it’s already become a favorite among curl lovers for the way it smooths, defines, and adds touchable shine to spirals.

Why spirals need specialized care

Spiral curls fall in the middle of the curl spectrum, tighter than waves, looser than coils. That “in-between” nature means they need products that hydrate enough to fight frizz, but won’t weigh curls down. Spirals also benefit from styling formulas that can encourage definition while keeping the natural bounce intact.

VitaCurl® was built with this balance in mind: lightweight hydration + curl-defining technology, designed to keep spirals looking healthy and full of life.

Spirals are also unique because they often feature a mix of textures across the same head of hair. You may notice some curls spring into perfect spirals while others stretch longer and looser. This variability can make care tricky, but VitaCurl® is formulated to bring harmony to all those textures at once. With regular use, spirals look more uniform, frizz is tamed, and curls regain the lively definition that makes them so distinctive.

The VitaCurl® routine for spiral curls

Cleanse and condition

Every great spiral style starts with a foundation of moisture.

• VitaCurl Shampoo gently cleanses without stripping, while infusing spirals with the hydration they need.
  

• VitaCurl Conditioner detangles and nourishes, smoothing the cuticle so curls feel soft, springy, and ready for styling.
  

Pro tip: don’t rush the conditioner. Leave it in for a few minutes while you shower to give your curls maximum hydration and slip. This extra time allows spirals to drink in moisture, making detangling easier and helping curls form more defined patterns once dry.

Define and protect

After washing, spirals need stylers that can lock in moisture and encourage curl shape. VitaCurl offers multiple options, depending on your curl goals:

• VitaCurl Styling Gel-Cream: The best of both worlds — the lightweight moisture of a cream with the definition of a gel. Perfect for spirals that crave flexibility with hold.
  

• VitaCurl Styling Gel: For those who want more structure, this gel delivers long-lasting definition without crunch.
  

• VitaCurl Styling Mousse: Lightweight lift and volume for spirals that need a little extra bounce at the roots.
  

• VitaCurl Styling Serum: The shine booster, and the star of the collection. This serum smooths frizz, seals in moisture, and gives spirals a glossy finish. (And yes, we’re celebrating its 1-year anniversary this season!)
  

How to use VitaCurl stylers in your routine

Here’s a pro tip for spirals: layering products can give you the best of all worlds. After conditioning, add a pump of Styling Serum to smooth the surface and seal in shine. Then before you style, start with the Gel-Cream for flexible definition. If your curls need volume, work in Mousse at the roots before diffusing. And for extra-long days or big events, finish with Styling Gel for maximum hold.

The beauty of VitaCurl is that you can mix and match depending on what your spirals need most, hydration, bounce, or hold. Think of it as building a wardrobe for your curls. Some days call for soft, touchable spirals; others demand a strong, structured style. With VitaCurl, you have the flexibility to create both.

Another insider tip: apply stylers to soaking-wet hair. This ensures even distribution, locks in more moisture, and helps spirals set into their natural shape as they dry. Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to rake products through in sections for best results.

Extra care tips for spirals

• Diffuse for definition: If you’re using a blow dryer, attach a diffuser to minimize frizz and encourage curl formation. Keep heat on medium and airflow low for the healthiest finish.

• Refresh between washes: Spirals often need a little midweek pick-me-up. Reactivate products by misting hair with water and scrunching, or add a small amount of Styling Serum to smooth frizz.

• Protect overnight: Sleep on a satin pillowcase or tie spirals into a loose pineapple with a silk scrunchie to prevent friction and preserve curl definition.
  Hydrate consistently: Even the best stylers work best on well-moisturized hair. Deep condition weekly to maintain elasticity and reduce breakage.
  

Spiral curl confidence, every day

VitaCurl® isn’t just about products. It’s about embracing the full personality of your spirals, the spring, the definition, the way they frame your face differently each day. With the right care, spirals can feel effortless instead of unpredictable.

Confidence also comes from routine. When you know you have the right products to rely on, you can step out the door without worrying about the weather or how your curls will fall. That’s the kind of freedom VitaCurl gives spiral curls, reliability, shine, and shape that lasts.

So here’s to the spirals that won’t quit.
