UNOVE Volume Up Curling Essence - 147ml

Give your curls the bounce, shine, and definition they deserve with the UNOVE Volume Up Curling Essence. Specially formulated with a powerhouse blend of 31 proteins and amino acids, this creamy leave-in essence nourishes from root to tip, strengthening weakened strands while enhancing natural curl patterns. Its lightweight yet deeply moisturising texture smooths the cuticle to reduce frizz, leaving curls soft, glossy, and effortlessly defined.

Perfect for wavy, curly, or permed hair, the essence provides long-lasting volume and curl-fixing power without stiffness or sticky residue. Enriched with hydrating botanicals, it restores elasticity, making hair more resilient to breakage while maintaining a healthy, supple finish. Ideal for daily styling, it absorbs quickly and layers seamlessly with other products, ensuring curls stay lively and full of movement throughout the day. Whether your curls are loose waves or tight coils, this essence delivers a salon-worthy, frizz-free look with every use.

How to Use

1. After washing your hair, gently towel-dry until it is damp but not dripping.

2. Dispense an appropriate amount of the essence into your palms.

3. Apply evenly through your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends where curls need the most nourishment.

4. Scrunch or twist sections with your hands to enhance natural curl definition.

5. Air-dry or diffuse for bouncy, voluminous curls with long-lasting hold and shine.

Note: Can also be applied to dry hair to refresh and revive curls throughout the day.

Safety Precautions

1. Patch Test Before Full Use

   Always perform a patch test on a small area (e.g. inner arm or behind the ear) before using a new product—especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies. Wait 24–48 hours to check for any reactions such as redness, itching, or irritation.

   2. Avoid Use on Broken or Irritated Skin

   Do not apply skincare or cosmetic products to areas with open wounds, rashes, eczema, or sunburn unless specifically formulated for such conditions.

   3. Check the Ingredient List

   Read the ingredient list carefully, especially if you have known sensitivities (e.g. to fragrance, essential oils, alcohol, or preservatives). Look out for active ingredients such as acids, retinoids, or vitamin C which may cause irritation when misused or combined improperly.

   4. Use Only as Directed

   Follow product instructions regarding amount, frequency, and application method. Overuse can lead to over-exfoliation, redness, or dryness, particularly with products containing AHA, BHA, or retinol.

   5. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

   Keep products away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity to maintain their stability and effectiveness. Improper storage can lead to product degradation or contamination.

   6. Avoid Contact with Eyes

   Unless the product is specifically formulated for the eye area, avoid applying near the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

   7. Wash Hands Before Use

   Always use clean hands or a spatula to apply products to avoid introducing bacteria into jars or tubes, which can lead to contamination and breakouts.

   8. Discontinue Use If Irritation Occurs

   If you notice stinging, excessive redness, swelling, or breakouts, stop using the product immediately and consult a healthcare professional or dermatologist if necessary.

   9. Do Not Mix Certain Actives

   Avoid layering products with conflicting active ingredients, such as:

   • Retinol + AHA/BHA

   • Vitamin C + Niacinamide (unless stabilised)

   • Benzoyl Peroxide + Retinol

   Such combinations may compromise the skin barrier or reduce effectiveness.

   10. Pay Attention to Expiry Dates

   Check the expiration date or Period After Opening (PAO) symbol. Expired products may become ineffective or cause irritation. Most skincare products should be used within 6–12 months of opening.

   11. Keep Out of Reach of Children

   Store all beauty products out of the reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.

   12. Consult a Professional During Pregnancy or Medical Treatment

   If you are pregnant, nursing, or undergoing treatment for a skin condition, consult with a dermatologist before introducing new or potent ingredients (e.g. retinoids, salicylic acid, essential oils).
