1.  I condition every day . . . but I only condition the lower half of my hair.  Otherwise, my roots get greasy and weighed down.

​

2.  I shampoo very rarely.  If my hair feels greasy or if I notice product build-up, then I shampoo. I probably shampoo once or twice a month.

​

3.  I finger comb my hair ONLY when it's wet. (Note: NEVER brush or comb dry hair! It will frizz and break!) I find that combs and brushes cause more breakage on my wet hair so I opt for what nature gave me -- fingers.  However, some people need more. If you like combs and brushes opt for super wide-toothed combs and/or detangling brushes.

​

4.  I flip my head upside down and finger comb my wet hair away from my scalp.  I think this keeps it from going too flat on top.

​

5.  While it's still super wet, I use a dime-sized dollop of gel concentrating on the lower half of my hair.  I use my fingers to rake it through.  Then I scrunch the roots to encourage volume.

​

6.  Very gently blot dry with a towel.  Never rub!  Some people swear by microfiber towels but I find that simply blotting gently with a regular towel will achieve the same result.

​

7.  Flip hair upside down again and start to blow dry using the diffuser attachment.  Start with the roots and gradually work down to the ends. 

​

8.  After hair is dry, scrunch with satin cloth to loosen the stiff gel.

​

Voila!
