Hi!
I’ve been recovering from my recent hysterectomy. 4 1/2 weeks later I’m still not 100%, but I’m up and about now. This means doing my hair again..lol. I had an excuse for about a week. I have curly, wavy long fine hair. I have a lot of hair but it is very fine so it’s hard for me to find products that help with the curl, stop the frizz, but don’t weigh my hair down even more than the length does.
I stumbled across this product by accident. My sister had it under her sink and I thought “What the heck, I’ll give it a shot.” So, I used my Kenra blow dry spray and THEN I used Paul Mitchell’s Twirl Around. The Twirl Around is a “crunch free curl definer”, as said on the bottle, and they aren’t lyin’!
This product is wonderful. Especially in the wet or humid weather we have been having. I can allow my hair to air dry with this product, which I haven’t been able to do AT ALL since I’ve let it grow so long. I don’t have to wash my hair every day with this either. I usually wash my hair everyday because my scalp is oily and my hair is fine. Unlike MJ, my hair doesn’t look shiny when I don’t wash it, it looks greasy…it looks like I don’t care about myself. MJ is so lucky!! I tried everything she does. I noticed that I can do it in AZ, but not here in WA. I think the extremes in the weather are to blame. I love my hair when I visit her. Here, not so much, but I wouldn’t give it up either.
The product seems and is very thick coming out of the bottle. You’ll think “omg, I’m putting glue, or wax in my hair” but you will soon see when you scrunch it in, like a good moisturizer it just melts into your hair and brings those waves and curls out!
I only write about a product if I truly LOVE it. I LOVE Paul Mitchell’s Twirl Around and I would suggest this product to anyone, any and all hair types. I have even straightened my hair after applying it, and it worked wonders for that too. When I straightened it, it didn’t “flow” as freely as I like, but it maintained the style the entire day, and that day, weather wise, sucked. There was wind, rain, hail and frozen rain, I am not even kidding.
Let me know if you give it a try and what you think!
Here’s to great waves, fun curls and an even better attitude…for me at least!

I edited the post and inserted today’s “hair” So, this is after waiting in the rain and wind for 15 minutes for a late bus. Not too bad considering the wind is 15 mph sustained! It looks even better when it’s not wind blown and wet!
I added another of curls UNDER my hair. This is after all day, no brushing, no curling, just actual shiny curl! I usually have to hide the underside, or curl it. I hope that wasn’t overkill, but I was shocked to see the nice “almost” ringlets!
