How to use it
- Use it sparingly on damp or dry hair, section by section.
- On towel-dried hair, it seals in moisture and gives air-dried styles a light hold.
- Before heat styling, use it along with a heat protectant.
Pick one styling product to begin with. A foam and a strong-hold gel do not have identical instructions. See where this step fits .
