Before we break down the steps of your new wash day routine, let's explore what's in the box.
As you can see, you don't need a thousand products on wash day. Beautiful coils are all created in four simple steps. Keep on reading for your step-by-step guide to conquering your coils!
Step 1- Cleanse
Start your routine with the Essential Moisture Cleanser. This sulfate-free shampoo removes dirt and buildup without robbing your curls of natural moisture. For best results, shampoo twice to ensure a thorough cleanse.
Pro Tip: Ensure your hair is fully saturated with water before applying the shampoo. Rub a small amount between your palms first, then massage it into your scalp, this will help with even distribution and give you the best cleanse possible.
Step 2- Condition
Next, follow up with our Essential Moisture Conditioner. Apply generously to sections of your hair, then use a curl-friendly detangling tool to work through knots. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to really soak in the moisture, and rinse thoroughly.
Pro Tip: Focus on the lengths and ends when applying the conditioner—during detangling, it will naturally make its way toward your roots for even coverage.
Step 3- Moisturise
Apply the Curl Conditioning Oil-in-Cream as your leave-in to deeply hydrate and prime your curls before styling. This luxurious cream melts into the hair, locking in moisture and providing long-lasting nourishment to enhance your natural texture.
Top Tip: For a more precise and even application, dispense the product into your hands first, then using the raking method, gently work it through your hair. This application technique allows the cream to evenly coat each strand, ensuring maximum moisture and definition from root to tip. Your curls will thank you!
Step 4-Style
Section your hair and apply the In-Shower Style Fixer to define and enhance your natural coils while delivering a strong hold that lasts with the added bonus of protection against humidity. Take a small dollop per section, focusing on the lengths and ends, and use the raking method to distribute the product evenly throughout your strands. Coils tend to experience shrinkage, so opt for techniques like shingling to stretch and define your coils while avoiding methods like scrunching, which may accentuate shrinkage
Top Tip: Keep a water mist handy to rehydrate any sections that start to dry out. This gel styler works best when applied to soaking wet hair, ensuring maximum definition and hold!
Final Touches
Now that you've applied your products, it's time to put the finishing touches on your styling routine.
Give your curls a quick check for any lingering wet frizz. If you spot any, rehydrate those areas and add more product to lock in the definition. Gently blot excess water using a microfiber towel to speed up drying time without disturbing your curl pattern. Then, choose your drying method—air drying or diffusing, whichever suits your routine.
Top Tip: Mastering various diffusing techniques is key to achieving your desired look. Try a combination of hover diffusing and stretch diffusing for elongated coils and minimal shrinkage. This approach helps maintain definition while giving your curls the length and shape you aim for.
Keep In Mind
If you plan to diffuse your coils, spritz your hair with our Miracle Shield after applying the Curl Conditioning Oil-In Cream. This powerhouse protection spray guards your strands against the toughest elements, like;
- Thermal heat
- UV rays
- Chlorine
- Sea salt
It's the perfect protection mist to keep your coils looking their best, no matter what life throws at them!
