We don’t know who needs to hear this but no style is going to come out right on dirty hair. The most lovely and defined curls are  . Try our Clay-rify Deep Cleansing Shampoo Bar to remove all build up and leave you with squeaky clean results. Pair it with our Caught Slippin Conditioner to bring moisture back into your hair. 

 

Step 2: Grab your leave-in

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate leave-in conditioner because YASSS! Leave-in conditioners moisturizes the hair, prevents breakage, and tames frizz. We highly recommend our Mu-Moisture Leave-In Conditioner for all hair types and porosities. Mu-Moisture is extremely moisturizing and it makes the detangling process go way smoother.

The leave-in conditioner already makes the curls pop but the butter/gel gives it an even more defined look. Both of our butters No Shae’d and Butter Recognize work amazing for defining curls because they’re so moisturizing and soft; they literally melt onto your hair. And Moss'd Be Nice hydrating gel gives the perfect balance of definition, hold and moisture.

 

Step 4: Use oil for sealing and sheening
