Water is key: Wet your hair thoroughly.

Use a small amount: Apply a nickel to quarter-sized dollop of Innersense Clarity Hairbath to your wet hands.

Focus on the scalp: Part your hair and apply the product directly to your scalp, not the lengths.

Massage thoroughly: Scrub your scalp vigorously for 3-5 minutes until you get a rich lather.

Avoid the ends: There’s no need to apply the Hairbath to the lengths or ends of your hair.

Final check: Make sure all the Hairbath is completely rinsed out before moving on to conditioning.

Conditioning with Innersense Clarity Conditioner (1-2 times a week)

Everyone’s hair is unique. Feel free to adjust this method to suit your specific curl pattern and needs!

1. Start small: Use a nickel to quarter-sized amount of conditioner. It’s concentrated, so a little goes a long way!
2. Apply smartly: Rub the product between wet hands, then apply to your hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Use any leftover on your scalp.
3. Detangle gently: Work through your hair in sections using fingers or a wet brush. Add water as needed to help spread the product and ease detangling.
4. Hydrate deeply: Rake your fingers through each section from scalp to ends, adding water with cupped hands. Repeat until your hair feels silky and plump.
5. Form curl families: Once you’ve worked through all sections, you’ll see your curls grouping naturally.
6. Part and style: Use your fingers to create your preferred part and lay curls in place.
7. “Squish to Condish”: With wet hands, gather sections of curls and scrunch them up to the roots, making a “squish” sound. This helps lock in moisture.
8. Add volume (Optional): Try this process upside down or tilting side to side for extra volume at the roots.

Rinsing Your Hair:

1. Use cool water: Rinse with cool water at low pressure.
2. Hands off: Avoid combing or scrubbing your curls.
3. Protect your curls: Cup your curls in your hands to shield them from the water stream.
4. Focus on the scalp: Gently rinse conditioner from your scalp without running your fingers through your hair.
5. Quick rinse: Aim for a 30-45 second rinse, adjusting based on your hair’s needs.
6. Leave-in option: For extra dry hair, you might leave a small amount of conditioner in.
7. Styling considerations: If you’re not using styling products, you can leave in more conditioner.
8. Volume trick: Try rinsing upside down or tilting side to side for more volume at the roots.

Styling Your Curls:

1. Position: After rinsing, flip your head upside down or tilt side to side.
2. Apply product: Rub “I Create Volume” gel between your hands.
3. Distribute: Gently smooth and rake the gel through your hair, starting at the ends.
4. Rewet: Use a spray bottle or splash water to keep hair soaking wet. This is crucial for definition and frizz prevention.
5. Scrunch: Squeeze and scrunch small sections to work the product into your curls and remove excess water.
6. Volume boost: Try scrunching while upside down or tilting side to side for extra volume at the roots.

Remember, keeping your hair very wet during styling is key to maintaining curl definition and reducing frizz. Experiment with these techniques to find what works best for your unique curl pattern!

Drying Your Curls:

1. Handle with care: Your hair is most fragile when wet, so minimize touching to prevent frizz.
2. Remove excess water: Use a t-shirt or tea towel to gently squeeze out water. Don’t rub!
3. Scrunch technique: Lay the towel over your palm and scrunch upwards. Try this upside down or tilted for more volume.
4. Diffusing basics:
• Use high heat and low airflow
• Gather curl ends into the diffuser bowl
• Lift to the scalp and hold until it feels hot
• Move to the next section
• Hold each area for 1-3 minutes
5. Diffusing tips:
• Avoid bouncing the diffuser to prevent frizz
• Try diffusing upside down or tilted for extra volume
• Start with areas you want curliest
• Move slowly to minimize frizz

Remember, patience is key when drying curls. Take your time and be gentle for the best results!

Preserving Your Curls Overnight:

1. Create a “pineapple”: Flip your head upside down and loosely gather your curls on top of your head.
2. Secure gently: Use a satin or silk scrunchie to hold the “pineapple” in place.
3. Protect while you sleep: Use a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce friction.

Refreshing Your Curls (Days 2-4):

1. Add moisture: Wet your hands with a small amount of water.
2. Tame frizz: Either scrunch your curls or smooth them with “prayer hands” (palms together, sliding down the hair).
3. Repeat as needed: Use this technique on days 3 and 4 to maintain your curls.

Remember, these techniques help extend the life of your curls between wash days, keeping them fresh and defined!
