Curly Hair Product Application Guide

Step	Action	Description
1	Find the Right Shampoo	Use a shampoo specifically designed for curly hair. This will gently cleanse without stripping away essential moisture, as stated in our reference.
2	Condition Generously	After shampooing, apply a generous amount of conditioner.
3	Let Conditioner Sit	Allow the conditioner to sit in your hair for several minutes to maximize hydration. This allows it to penetrate and moisturize the curls. (Ref: reference 2)
4	Gently Squeeze Out Excess Moisture	After conditioning, gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt instead of rubbing, which can cause frizz. (Ref: reference 3)
5	Apply Styling Products	Start applying your chosen styling products, like creams, gels, or mousses when your hair is still wet. This helps to lock in moisture and define curls. (Ref: reference 4)
6	Separate and Define	Section your hair and define your curls by using your fingers or a styling tool such as a Denman brush. This encourages each curl to form properly. (Ref: reference 5)
7	Air Dry or Diffuse	Allow your hair to air dry, or use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer on a low heat and speed setting for gentle drying, being mindful not to touch your curls too much which can create frizz.

Start Small: Begin with a small amount of product and add more as needed to avoid build-up.
Layering: Some people benefit from layering products, such as using a leave-in conditioner before a styling cream.
Experiment: Find out what products and techniques work best for your curl pattern.
Read Labels: Look for products formulated with hydrating and moisturizing ingredients for curly hair.

By following these steps and adapting them to your specific needs, you'll be well on your way to achieving beautiful, defined curls.
