MIX UP YOUR MOISTURIZER! Choose your conditioner based on the current status of your curls. If they are feeling dry, go for a thicker, more hydrating product and keep it on for up to 30 minutes. If they are feeling okay, choose a less dense product and keep it on for a shorter time.
DON’T MANGLE, DETANGLE! Use your fingers to work through individual snarls while your curls are coated with conditioner. Start at the end and make your way up to the roots.
HANDS OFF! After you have completely rinsed your curls, avoid touching them as much as possible. Only caress them to apply a medium to light hold hair gel and scrunch throughout.
DRY DELICATELY! If your twirls are drenched, it will take longer to dry them, making them frizzier. Use a microfiber towel or t-shirt to absorb excess water after showering.
DON’T MOVE! To speed up the drying process, you can diffuse your curls upside down after releasing the extra moisture. When diffusing, don’t move your drier when it’s turned on. Always be sure to turn it off before moving to diffuse another section of your tress.
