Daily Conditioning: Apply conditioner as if you were putting your hair in a ponytail. Finger comb through length of hair and let sit for 3-5 minutes. Gently comb with a wide-toothed comb. Rinse well. | Aloeba Daily Conditioner |
Applying Gelebration Spray: After rinsing, do not wring out your hair or put it up in a towel. Doing so can disrupt your curl pattern, and the towel trick can cause SERIOUS frizz. Instead, flip your hair either upside down and spray Gelebration Spray generously through soaking wet hair. Scrunch to encourage curl. | Gelebration Spray |
Removing Water And Creating Curls: Cup a handful of curls in your palm and gently squeeze while lifting up towards your scalp. Repeat the scrunching all over hair. Next, scrunch your hair with a microfiber towel to remove excess water without jeopardizing your curl pattern. If necessary, spray in a bit more Gelebration Spray, depending on hair length and thickness. Curly Clue: Terrycloth towels cause frizz. Microfiber soaks up water but helps curls keep their shape and remain frizz free. | Microfiber Towel |
Creating Confident Coils: Scrunch in 1-2 nickel sized puddles of Confident Coils Styling Solution. This will make sure that your curls stay well defined without puffing out later in the day. Curly Clue: Confident Coils is concentrated so if you find it was too heavy the first time, use less next time. | Confident Coils Styling Solution |
THE LAST STEP IS DRYING –with or without a hair dryer.
Hair Dryer Method - Use a diffuser to keep hair from frizzing. Diffusing generally gives curlier curls and greater volume, especially if you diffuse upside down. Gently scrunch while diffusing, and only until your hair is about 75% dry. After you’re done diffusing, DO NOT touch your curls until your hair is totally dry. Touching while it dries will cause frizz.
Air Drying - After scrunching your hair and arranging your curls the way you want them, it’s important to keep your hands OUT of your hair until it’s totally dry. This will preserve curl enhancement and keep frizz at bay.
Scrunch out the crunch - After air-drying until your hair is totally dry, gently scrunch out any crunch that you may have. Don’t do this until your hair is TOTALLY dry, or you could cause frizz. You will be left with soft, bouncy curls that hold up in humidity OR dry climates.
