We may sound like a stuck record but the most important thing for curls is moisture. Yes protein is important (we'll have another blog post about that soon) but moisture is where curl formation begins.
That's why we are such big fans of The One & Only Creamy Conditioner (the vanilla smell is so good you may be tempted to taste test it... but please don't).
With water as its first ingredient, you can use it 5 ways. Here's how you use this moisture magnet:
As a regular rinse out conditioner
- 01Apply onto sopping wet hair after cleansing or cowashing.
- 02Smooth down the cuticles of your hair using a downwards milking motion.
- 03Gather your hair in your hand and 'squish to condish'.
- 04Rinse well off the scalp.
- 05You can choose whether to leave some conditioner on your ends.
- 06Follow with the Crème De La Curl Creme 250ml or Coiling Me Softly Curl Custard and the Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel.
As a deep conditioning hair mask
- 01Apply onto sopping wet hair after cleansing or cowashing.
- 02Wrap your head in plastic wrap, clingfilm, or a plastic shower cap.
- 03Now add warmth to allow the conditioner to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft.
In the sun
Keep your shower cap on and sit in the sun. Simple and effective!
Indoors
Wrap a towel over your shower cap. This traps your body heat and creates a warm environment.
On colder days
Wrap a towel over your shower cap, then use a hairdryer on low heat to gently warm the towel.
- 04Leave for 20–30 minutes using whichever method works best for you.
- 05Smooth down the cuticles of your hair using a downwards milking motion once you are back in the shower.
- 06Gather your hair in your hand and 'squish to condish'.
- 07Rinse well.
- 08Follow with the Crème De La Curl Creme 250ml or Coiling Me Softly Curl Custard and the Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel.
As a leave-in conditioner
- 01Apply onto sopping wet hair after cleansing or cowashing.
- 02Smooth down the cuticles of your hair using a downwards milking motion.
- 03Gather your hair in your hand and 'squish to condish'.
- 04Rinse well off the scalp. Once out the shower re-apply a small amount to mid-lengths and ends for more precise distribution.
- 05Squish to condish again.
- 06Follow with the Crème De La Curl Creme 250ml or Coiling Me Softly Curl Custard and the Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel.
As a scalp scrub
- 01Apply onto wet hair after cleansing or cowashing.
- 02Apply a small amount directly to your scalp in sections.
- 03Use the Exfoliating Scalp Massage Brush to gently work it into the scalp in circular motions.
- 04The conditioner softens and moisturises while the brush lifts buildup and stimulates circulation.
- 05Rinse thoroughly.
- 06Follow with your normal styling routine.
As a curl refresher
- 01Add a teaspoon of conditioner to a 250ml spray bottle of boiled, cooled water.
- 02Shake well.
- 03Spray onto your hair until wet.
- 04Squish to condish.
- 05Leave to air dry or diffuse.
- 06NO TOUCHING until 100% dry — then scrunch out the crunch when a slight cast forms.
