To get perfect ringlets, start with damp hair.
Step 1: Apply a dime-sized amount of serum AND gel through hair from mid-strand to the ends.
Step 2: Take small sections from the top of your head & twist them down to the ends. Let them fall.
Step 3: Dry sections with a diffuser from roots to ends. (Don't scrunch your curls otherwise you could cause frizzing, instead cup the hair from below).
Step 4: When hair is almost completely dry, bend over & shake curls loose. Massage hair at the crown, this will add body.
Step 5: Flip hair back & finish styling with your fingers. Do NOT use a brush.
