for best results, I'm starting off by cleansing & conditioning my hair. I work in sections to make sure my kinky hair doesn't get too tangled up.

Cleanse & Condition

I like to finger detangle the hair after massaging my scalp. once I'm done with a section, I twist it & move on to the next. after rinsing, I apply my conditioner.

NEXT

I work the conditioner into the hair, paying special attention to the ends as they tend to be the driest. detangle with a brush for even distribution of the product.

NEXT

after the leave-in conditioner, I layer on shea butter to seal the moisture, detangle & blow dry. I then apply setting lotion from root to tip for hold & shine.

the next day or whenever hair is dry, gently unravel the twists. shake to help the hair "settle". separate the hair where it naturally separates depending on your desired look & volume.
