since my hair is super tangled, I'm going to "pre-poo" my hair using an oil along with steam to make the wash process easier & less damaging..

after applying the product, I go in with my steamer to help soften & loosen tangles, then further detangle with my brush.

once the section is brushed through, I twist it up & move on. I rinse thoroughly & then it's onto the shampoo stage.

after cleansing, I apply my conditioner and use my detangling brush to both distribute the product & ensure that my kinks are thoroughly tangle-free.

I rinse out my conditioner after about 15-20 min & apply a leave-in conditioner for moisture & heat prep. Then I seal with an oil. after blow drying, I create a side part.

I then add some gel to either side of the part, brush down & slick back to form a ponytail & then a small low bun.

once I'm satisfied with the look, I tie my hair down with a poly fabric scarf to help keep the shape & smoothness of the style. look how sleek it is the next day!

finally, I add my faux puff to complete this wash style session! I think the earrings bring the whole look together!
