The right products make a huge difference, but proper application technique is important as well. Here are our top tips for achieving the perfect curl:
1) Work in small sections and keep hair soaking wet as you go. Not enough water and overly-large sections are the number one issues we see with 'failed' wash-and-gos. 2) Apply a liberal amount of your favorite Moxie styler, such as
Shape Shifter™,
Lux Locks™, or
Oasis™ Moisture Gel, to soaking wet hair, raking or smoothing it through. 3) Follow immediately with your definer of choice to seal in moisture and lock in your natural shape. 4) The final, but all important step is a process we call 'ribboning' or assisting your curls in absorbing the product and coalescing into their natural groupings. Curl families generally show themselves by waving or spiraling together as a group when they are wet and moisturized. Simply smooth them together from root to tip to push product further into the hair further enhance the grouping effect. 5) Last but not least, dry carefully (we recommend using a diffuser or
Versatowel to minimize frizz) to create a strong, lasting cast.
