Using curl stretching cream involves a few simple steps to apply the product and style your hair effectively.

Easy Steps for Applying Curl Stretching Cream

Achieving your desired stretched look with curl stretching cream is straightforward when following these basic application steps:

  1. Prepare Your Hair and Apply the Cream

    Begin with **clean, damp hair**. It's important that your hair is hydrated but not soaking wet, as this allows the cream to distribute and work effectively. Take the curl stretching cream and apply it generously, making sure to cover your hair **from roots to ends**. Ensure an even application across all strands for consistent results throughout your style.
  2. Section and Style as Desired

    Once the cream is applied, divide your hair into manageable **sections**. Working in sections helps ensure thorough product distribution and makes the styling process easier. Within each section, you can then style your hair **as desired** using various techniques:
    • Use a **comb** to help detangle and shape your curls.
    • Employ **twisting** techniques (like two-strand twists) to encourage curl clumping and elongation.
    • Utilize **finger styling** to define individual curls or coils precisely.
    Choose the method or combination of methods that best suits the look you are trying to achieve.
  3. Complete the Process by Drying

    The final step is to dry your hair completely to set your style. You have several options for drying:
    • Allow your hair to **air dry** naturally without any heat.
    • Use a **diffuser** attachment on a blow dryer to speed up drying while enhancing curl definition.
    • Sit under a **hooded dryer** for controlled, even drying with indirect heat.
    Select your preferred drying method and ensure your hair is fully dry to lock in the stretched style.

Following these steps will help you properly use curl stretching cream to style your clean, damp hair from roots to ends, using sections and your preferred styling/drying method.
