The Basics (90 Seconds)
Most curly hair problems come from the same few mistakes. Fix these first.
1
Wash Less
2-3 times per week with sulfate-free shampoo. Daily washing causes dryness and frizz.
2
Apply Wet
Put styling product on soaking wet hair, not towel-dried. Water helps curls clump together.
3
Don't Touch
Let curls dry completely without touching. Every touch creates frizz.
4
Scrunch Out
Once 100% dry, scrunch hair to break the crunchy gel cast. Soft, defined curls appear.
