How it is done

  1. 10:55Start with a pre-shampoo oil treatment, then wash with a clarifying shampoo.
  2. 21:23Follow with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner in small sections, then a deep-conditioning mask under a heated cap for 20 minutes.
  3. 31:50Set out a spray bottle of water, towels, clips, a detangling brush, a leave-in conditioner, a curl gel and a mousse.
  4. 42:18Divide the hair into four sections. Starting at the back, split each into two or three smaller sections.
  5. 52:46Drench the section with water, then apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner, adding more only if needed.
  6. 63:13Brush the section to detangle, then work a small-to-medium amount of mousse through it.
  7. 73:40Rake gel evenly through the section, then smooth a second layer of gel over the top without combing.
  8. 84:08Shingle: hold the section, pull out a smaller piece and gently rake through it with clawed fingers to separate and smooth each curl.
  9. 94:36Clip the finished section away and repeat on the next one.
