How to use it
- Rub it between your hands and apply it to soaking-wet hair, raking or smoothing it through every strand.
- Scrunch, finger-coil or shingle to define.
- Air dry or diffuse without touching your hair too much, then scrunch out the cast once it’s completely dry; Curlsmith suggests a little oil or serum for that.
