INTRINSICURLY ME "CLEAN SLATE" METHOD

Step 1: Wash

Here's what you'll need:

Come Clean Gentle Cleanser
Mint To Be Peppermint Cowash
R200.00
R200.00

Total Price: R400.00

Instructions

Step 1: Wet Your Hair

Start by wetting your hair, making sure that it is sopping wet.

Step 2: Apply Cleanser to Hands

Squeeze approximately a tablespoon of Come Clean Gentle Cleanser or Mint To Be Peppermint Cowash into your hands.

Step 3: Apply Cleanser to Scalp & Hair

Apply this cleanser to your scalp and hair.

Step 4: Massage Scalp

Massage your scalp with your finger pads in a circular motion.

Step 5: "Milking" Motion & Emulsify

Move the product through your hair from the roots to the ends using a "milking" motion. If you feel you need more product, first add more water and emulsify.

Step 6: Continue Milking Technique

Continue the milking technique, moving from your roots to your ends.

Step 7: Maintain Hair Wetness

Add more water the minute you feel your hair is getting dry; it is important for your hair to be sopping wet at all times.

Step 8: Ensure Cleanser Coverage

Make sure you have spread the cleanser all over your hair, right to the ends. You'll notice the cleanser doesn't foam at all; this is totally normal.

Step 9: Deep Scalp Cleanse

Massage the product into your hair, making sure to really get your scalp clean.

Step 10: Wash Duration

Make sure to wash your hair for at least 2 to 3 minutes so that you can remove all dirt and buildup.

Step 11: Rinse Thoroughly

You can now rinse the product out with clean water.

Step 12: Condition

Condition using the One & Only Creamy Conditioner (See next step).

 
 
 
 

Step 2: Condition

Here's what you'll need:

The One & Only Creamy Conditioner
R220.00

Total Price: R220.00

Instructions

Step 1: Hair Still Sopping Wet?

Your hair should already be sopping wet from rinsing the cleanser. Ensure it remains thoroughly wet before adding conditioner.

Step 2: Determine Conditioner Amount

When you first start using IntrinsiCurly Me, you may need to use as much as 2 tablespoons of The One & Only Creamy Conditioner. The more hydrated your hair becomes, the less you will need to use at a time.

Step 3: Apply Conditioner

Apply this conditioner to your scalp and hair.

Step 4: Massage Scalp

Massage your scalp with your finger pads in a circular motion.

Step 5: "Milking" Motion & Emulsify

Move the product through your hair from the roots to the ends using a "milking" motion. If you feel you need more product, first add more water and emulsify.

Step 6: Continue Milking Technique

Continue the milking technique, moving from your roots to your ends.

Step 7: Finger Detangle

Start to finger detangle now with your fingers. If your ends are tangled/knotty, then start there and work your way up towards the roots.

Step 8: Smooth Cuticles

Now start smoothing the cuticles down until your hair feels "slimey" or like seaweed. (This prevents frizz and future tangling).

Step 9: 'Squish to Condish'

The next step is 'squish to condish'. Gather up a handful of your hair and squeeze to the root a few times for each section; you should hear a squishy, squelching sound. You can either do this with your head upside down or right side up.

Step 10: Add More Water & Squish

Trickle a little more water into the hair and squish a little more. There's no such thing as too much squishing!

Step 11: Processing Time

This process should take between 1 - 5 minutes.

Step 12: Rinse

Make sure to rinse off your scalp 100%. If you wish to keep some conditioner in on your ends, you can do so, or you can re-apply not more than half a teaspoon to ensure even coverage. For finer hair, we recommend rinsing completely.

 
 
 
 

Step 3: Style

The final step in your journey to curly is Styling.

Now there are dozens of different methods, and we can't list them all here, but here is a very basic and easy way to style your curls.

Creme De La Curl Creme
Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel
Universal Collapsible Silicone Diffuser
Scrunching Microfibre Towel
R200.00
R200.00
R275.00
R230.00

Total Price: R905.00

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Crème da la Curl Crème

Pump/squeeze a small amount of Crème da la Curl Crème into the palm of your hands. Rub your hands together to emulsify. You should notice the product turning white in your palms.

Step 2: Apply Crème to Sopping Wet Hair

Smooth evenly over your sopping wet hair using the praying hands method. For thicker hair, you may need to section the hair to apply evenly. Apply evenly to all sections of your hair, making sure not to use too much Crème da la Curl Crème.

Step 3: Squish to Clump

Now, gather up a handful of your hair and squeeze to the root a few times for each section; you should hear a squishy, squelching sound. You can either do this with your head upside down or right side up. You should notice clumps starting to form.

Step 4: Apply Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel (Optional)

If you're styling without gel, then go straight to Step 6. Otherwise, use the praying hands method to add the Hold Me Baby Curly Hair Gel to your curls.

Step 5: Squish & Scrunch with Gel

Once gel is evenly distributed, squish and scrunch to create clumps.

Step 6: Remove Excess Moisture

Take your Scrunching Microfibre Towel and scrunch out the extra moisture very gently and methodically.

Step 7: Drying Options

Either allow to dry naturally or use your Universal Collapsible Silicone Diffuser.

Step 8: Diffusing Technique (If Applicable)

If you are using a Universal Collapsible Silicone Diffuser, make sure you use low/medium heat and low/medium speed so as not to dry out all that moisture you just packed in there.

Step 9: Avoid Touching While Drying

Remember not to touch your hair at all while it is drying. No scrunching out while your hair is wet or damp.

Step 10: Scrunch Out the Cast

Once your hair is 100% dry, you can now "scrunch out the cast" that may have formed. If you want to add volume, throw your hair over and shake out at the roots only.
