How to use it

  1. Apply it to soaking-wet hair.
  2. For volume, smooth it over the top layer, tip your head forward and repeat underneath, then scrunch; to control volume and shrinkage on medium or thick hair, rake it through in sections instead.
  3. Don’t touch your hair until it’s completely dry, then tip your head forward and scrunch out the cast.
