<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wavy<\/h2>\n

Cleanse<\/strong>
\nOnce a week using a sulfate-free shampoo.<\/p>\n

Condition<\/strong>
\nWash conditioner out completely and follow up with a leave-in.<\/p>\n

Dry & Style<\/strong>
\nFlip hair upside down and apply your curl cream<\/a><\/span> in sections. Rake and scrunch your hair, then air dry or diffuse.<\/p>\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong><\/span> Be sure to diffuse using only low to medium heat to prevent damage.<\/p>\n

Curly<\/h2>\n

Cleanse<\/strong>
\nOnce a week to every ten days using a sulfate-free shampoo.<\/p>\n

Condition<\/strong>
\nFor added moisture, leave some conditioner in your hair when rinsing or wash out completely and follow with a leave-in.<\/p>\n

Dry & Style<\/strong>
\nApply your curl cream<\/a><\/span> in sections and then layer with a few drops of hair oil for an extra boost of hydration. Then either diffuse or air dry.<\/p>\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong><\/span> Air drying your hair will give your curls a more natural, defined look, while diffusing your hair will provide less definition, but more volume, lift and length.<\/p>\n

Coily<\/h2>\n

Cleanse<\/strong>
\nShampoo only when necessary (ideally as little as possible). To refresh curls in-between cleanses, just re-wet your hair and condition.<\/p>\n

Condition<\/strong>
\nOpt to leave a little conditioner in your hair, or rinse out completely and follow up with a leave-in.<\/p>\n

Dry & Style<\/strong>
\nDiffuse or air dry strands, then style in various ways using curl cream<\/a><\/span> including a wash n\u2019 go, the LOC method or a twist out.<\/p>\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong><\/span> If you twist out your hair, allow twists to fully dry overnight or under a hooded dryer before unravelling them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The No List:<\/strong><\/span>
\nHeat
\nFragrance
\nSulfates
\nNon water-soluble silicones
\nAlcohol
\nWaxes and mineral oils<\/p>\n
