It also alleviates the need to stand under the shower that other curly hair methods require, where you risk rinsing too much product out of your hair.<\/p><p>On your next hair wash day, use <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-shampoo\">shampoo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-conditioner\">conditioner<\/a> as normal. Once your hair is clean, apply a <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-leave-in-conditioner\">leave-in conditioner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-curl-cream\">curl cream<\/a> and optional gel. Ryan suggests using a <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-curl-cream\">curl cream<\/a> and then topping with a gel, which she says ensures the most frizz control. \u201cWhatever you do, make sure that you are putting your curl products on soaking wet hair,\u201d she says.<\/p><p>Next, over your bowl of water, comb the hair to detangle. Then, dunk the front of your hair in the bowl, lift your head up and scrunch. Repeat with each side of your hair, then repeat the whole process once or twice more. You\u2019ll typically see people on TikTok completing two to four rounds of this method per side.<\/p><p>Let your hair air dry completely or diffuse. If you use gel, you\u2019ll want to gently shake or use your fingers to break up your curls.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>How long does the bowl method take?<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>This technique isn\u2019t as simple as putting in styling cream and letting air dry. Since you need to scrunch to make sure you form curl \u201cclumps,\u201d be sure you add some extra time to your hair routine.<\/p><p>\u201cI would keep in mind that this technique takes both patience and time,\u201d Ryan says. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes from start to finish, depending on your hair length and thickness as well as your experience using this method.&nbsp;<\/p><p>And if you want to let your hair air-dry, you\u2019ll need to account for a long drying time as your hair will be soaking wet. TikTok creator <a href=\"https:\/\/vm.tiktok.com\/ZTRJcbh7n\/?k=1\">makenzieandmalia<\/a> has seriously amazing results using this method, but noted that it took around 2.5 hours for her hair to air dry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2>Why does the curly bowl method work?<\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Ca5z60LLePg\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

This ensures that the hair is moisturized and you can get more defined, frizz-free curls, Ryan explains. Bonus: it also dilutes the product so it evenly distributes to each hair strand. Since this way of styling can help to lock in moisture, it can add some extra oomph to both curly and wavy hair types. (You\u2019ll find plenty of TikToks of people discovering they actually have curly or wavy hair by giving the bowl method a try.)If this method doesn\u2019t work the first time, don\u2019t get discouraged. It can be tricky to figure out the right amount of product to use in your hair and it\u2019s a bit of trial and error to finesse how many rounds of dunking and squeezing out your hair gives you the best results.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block--full-width-cta section\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"cta-card\">\n            <p>Always made to order.
