Welcome to your new hair care ritual. Enjoy!
I hope you will take this time to come home to yourself and give yourself some love and attention. Remember you have to take care of yourself before you have anything to give others.
Allow the water to soak into your hair for a whole minute, embracing the moment.
I HIGHLY recommend using a shower filter especially if you have hard water. This will improve the health of your hair IMMENSELY!
Apply a quarter-sized amount of Innersense hairbath, awaken it in your hands, and then gently apply it to your scalp. If you don't get lather on the first try, keep massaging your scalp, rinse, and repeat until you achieve that lovely lather. Make sure to rinse the hairbath thoroughly.
While your hair is soaking wet, use 1 to 2 pumps of Innersense conditioner. With your Wetbrush or Framar detangling brush, evenly distribute the conditioner and water throughout your hair, brushing away from your scalp. You can even try this upside down for extra volume.
Keep brushing with the conditioner in, adding water until your hair feels as slimy and silky as seaweed – a sign that it's well-hydrated.
You have the option to rinse out the conditioner completely or leave some in – play with it and see what works best for your curls.
Leave your hair soaking wet and continue brushing, ensuring to lift it off the scalp.
Once your hair is brushed through, section it for easy styling. Recommended to use alligator clips.
Starting at the ends and moving upward, apply "I create hold" gel from the roots to the ends.
Using your Bounce Curl Brush, brush the product through until smooth, then turn it on the side to create the curl clumps.
After evenly applying the gel, in sections, flip your head upside down and scrunch in 2-3 pumps of "I create lift" or "I create definition" foam, making sure to scrunch all the way up to the roots.
Gently remove excess water from your hair using a t-shirt or a microfiber towel (not recommended for tight curl patterns).
If plopping, you would do that at this point. (Tutorial coming soon)
If you use hairspray or salt spray, now is the time to apply it. "I create finish" or “I create waves”
Hover with a diffuser until your curls start to feel crunchy, and then switch to cupping and scooping with the diffuser bowl. I recommend the Dyson blowdryer for shiny, bouncy curls, and a fast healthy dry.
Dry your hair until it's 100% dry. Do NOT touch it until it’s completely dry. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
For that final touch, use just 2 drops of "I create shine" to scrunch out the cast. I also love “serenity smoothing cream” or “quiet calm curl” to break the cast.
If you're after maximum volume, get your hands in at the scalp and shake those gorgeous curls vigorously. This is where we create “functional frizz”.
Hot tip: don’t be afraid of a little frizz! That’s where the volume comes in. Make your curls perfect and defined, then rough them up!
If you’re feeling extra heavy, weighed down, or dehydrated consider adding in the detox mask and hydrating mask to your routine.
The detox mask is used as a gentle clarifying mask. Meant to be used when the hair feels like there is some build up or just isn’t doing what you want it to. Use before you shampoo.
The hydrating mask is to be applied after you shampoo but before you condition. (You could try mixing the mask with your conditioner for a little pick me up)
Hot Tips:
Sleeping in Curls:
1. Pineapple It:
Gather your curls into a loose, high ponytail on top of your head using a silk or satin scrunchie. This keeps the curls lifted and helps prevent flattening or frizz.
2. Silk or Satin Everything:
Sleep on a silk pillowcase and/or wear a bonnet or scarf. These materials reduce friction that can lead to breakage and frizz. (also good for your skin ;)
Refreshing Your Curls:
1. Use a water mister bottle, recommended 30% wet. Then PRESS the water into the hair strand with praying hands. This may reactivate the curls, but if it doesn’t try step 2.
2. Rule of thumb is to use one hydrating product (quiet calm curl, sweet spirit leave in, innerpeace whipped texturizer) and one product with hold (I create volume, I create lift, I create definition) and smooth them down the strand and scrunch up!
Remember, practice makes perfect. Your curls will thank you for the love and care you give them. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further guidance. I am here for you every step of the way.
