Rake and shake method
Choose a small portion of your hair. Rake through the section with your fingers to encourage clumping with your favorite curl definer. At the end of the last rake, stop before your fingers slide all the way through your hair, grasp the ends, and give your hair a few good shakes (away from your scalp). This helps to naturally distribute the curl and keep them from falling flat.
Shingling method In this method, once you’ve applied your leave-in, you take a small section of your hair (ensure that it’s wet!) and apply your curl definer by finger combing. When your curls begin to naturally separate, take one curl and smooth it down to the ends starting at your roots. Repeat for the rest of your hair. This method creates a lot of definition and reduces the chance of tangles.
PRAYING HANDS METHOD WITH THIS METHOD, INSTEAD OF RAKING THE CURL-DEFINING PRODUCT THROUGH YOUR HAIR LIKE THE LAST TWO METHODS, YOU RUB IT BETWEEN THE PALMS OF YOUR HANDS AND APPLY BY SLIDING YOUR HAIR BETWEEN YOUR PALMS IN A “PRAYER” HAND POSITION. THIS METHOD REDUCES FRIZZ AND OFTEN RESULTS IN A LONGER CURL.
HOPEFULLY THIS QUICK OVERVIEW HAS HELPED GIVE YOU TO CONFIDENCE TO GIVE THE WASH AND GO METHOD A TRY. LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS WHAT YOUR FAVORITE TECHNIQUE IS!
