What conditioner should I use and when? 

Conditioner is MANDATORY following shampooing!! This will replenish moisture that was striped during the washing process.

Conditioner can be used alone when your hair just needs a quick boost! Aka a "CO-WASH".  

Be sure to leave your conditioner on your hair for minimum of 20-30 minutes!

Should I use a leave-in?

ALWAYS! The leave-in conditioner will provide additional moisture and hydration.

As tighter curls tend to need additional support, choosing a leave-in conditioner that has a built-in detangling properties will be highly beneficial. 

Leave-ins for this collection can be any consistency.

Ensure to apply leave-in on damp/wet hair.

When do I use a serum/frizz tamer ?

We recommend using anti-frizz serum and/or cream to help seal in moisture and reduce frizzing while drying. Apply on damp hair after leave-in.

The amount per bundle will depend on the hair length& tightness of curls. Apply creams in your hand, rub together FIRST then apply to your hair. 

We also recommend using an anti-frizz as needed when hair is dry, or after spritzing hair lightly with warm water.

** Leave hair to dry completely without touching... unless you're looking for an extremely voluminous style!!**

Detailed Washing Guide

Be gentle when combing, washing and styling. Start by using lukewarm- to very warm water to open cuticles on your hair. Once you have the perfect temp, do the following:

1. Detangle hair. Holding hair by wefted ends, fully saturate each strand of hair with water.  If using a container, fully submerge hair until hair is fully saturated. Never rub hair together, or roll into a ball!

2. Add small amounts of  shampoo, gently washing from the ends of the hair moving up(no rubbing). Only shampoo as needed when there is product build-up. (Shampoo increases drying)

3. Using lukewarm water, fully rinse hair until all shampoo has gone from your hair. This will be indicated by clear, non-suddy water.

4. Using ample conditioner, completely coat your hair. You may choose to de-tangle using de-tangling comb or brush at this point. Start at the bottom, gently combing/brushing upwards until all hair is de-tangled. Let the conditioner stay on your hair for 5-15 minutes.

5. Thoroughly rinse conditioner out of hair, gently squeeze excess water out and place on a towel. Do not rub, or pat dry.

6. While hair is still damp, spray leave-in conditioner. Use ONLY A comb/brush to evenly distribute. 

7. Air dry your hair for best results. For reduced volume, DO NOT DISTURB hair while its drying! If you comb or run fingers through, the volume will increase x2.

8. Once your hair is dry, you may use small amounts of anti-fizz(optional) to prevent increased frizz. Focus on the ends.
