To use the Matrix A Curl Can Dream Lightweight Oil, apply it liberally to your hair, from root to tip, after using the A Curl Can Dream Shampoo (or Co-Wash), Mask, Moisturizing Cream, and Light Hold Gel. Allow your hair to air dry or diffuse.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Start with a Clean Base:
- Begin your curl routine with a gentle cleanser like the A Curl Can Dream Shampoo or Co-Wash. This removes buildup without stripping essential moisture.
2. Deeply Hydrate:
- Follow with the A Curl Can Dream Mask to deeply moisturize and condition your curls. This step is crucial for healthy, defined curls.
3. Layer with Cream and Gel:
- Apply the A Curl Can Dream Moisturizing Cream to hydrate and define your curls further.
- Then, use the A Curl Can Dream Light Hold Gel to provide hold and reduce frizz.
4. Apply the Oil:
- Dispense: Work several pumps of the A Curl Can Dream Lightweight Oil into your hands. Start with a small amount and add more as needed, depending on the length and thickness of your hair.
- Application: Apply the oil liberally to your hair, working it in from root to tip. Focus on areas that tend to be drier or more prone to frizz.
- Distribution: Ensure even distribution throughout your curls.
5. Drying:
- Air Dry: Allow your hair to air dry for a more natural look.
- Diffuse: For faster drying and added volume, use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer. Use a low heat setting to minimize heat damage.
Key Tips for Optimal Results:
- Less is more: Start with a small amount of oil and add more as needed. Overusing the oil can weigh down your curls.
- Focus on the ends: Pay extra attention to the ends of your hair, as they tend to be the driest and most prone to damage.
- Adjust based on your hair type: The amount of oil you need will depend on your hair type, porosity, and texture. Experiment to find what works best for you.
- Use as a refresher: You can also use the oil to refresh your curls on non-wash days. Simply apply a small amount to dry hair to add moisture and reduce frizz.
