Instructions

Step 1: I take my products in the shower with me (conditioner and styling product). View my regimen page to see what products I use currently (but I find creamy products such as Curl Milkshake works the best for me).

Step 2: After rinsing the conditioner out with cool water, apply your styling product(s) in sections to soaking wet hair. (Don't worry, once you apply your products, it soaks up much of the water, at least for me it does.)

Step 3: Gently shake your head (like you're saying 'no') about 4 times. Cover you face with a towel while you are doing this or you'll get hit in the face with your hair! This helps to separate the coils and to remove excess water, but I usually skip this part.

Step 4: Let air-dry. When I need my hair to dry faster, I'll scrunch with a super absorbent towel. The important part is not to touch or mess with your hair until it's dry. Once you start touching it will get matted and frizzy. You may need to walk around with a hand towel around your neck to catch the drippies if you don't scrunch or towel dry.

Optional - For a funky Lenny Kravitz look when completely dry, fingerpick (up and out) your hair until you get the desired look. The longer you do this, the wilder and bigger your hair will be! One great thing about our hair texture is that there's no need for hair spray - it will go "out" on its own! :)

DAILY MAINTENANCE

With this style you'll probably have to re-wet every morning. Once you sleep with this style, it will become matted. Don't fret. With a quick touch up of your product with damp hair and you're done. It shouldn't take longer than 5 mins. to do. Sometimes I am able to get by for an extra day or two my lightly spritzing or even doing nothing.

Another Version

Everyone has different hair types. If you try this and it doesn't work, please don't get discouraged. Not everyone has "visible" curls or coils and that's okay! Here is a suggestion if you like this style, but can't produce the desired result from the steps above:

Step 1. Twist your hair in small twists. Leave them in for a couple of days or at least until the twists are 100% dry. If you attempt to unravel your hair before it's completely dry, you will end up with frizzy hair (which is also not a bad free-form look either).

Step 2. Carefully undo the twists.

Step 3. Run cool water over your hair once. You want to completely soak it. Or you may want to experiment and spritz

your hair instead getting it completely wet.
