Now Let’s Use It
Directions: Apply to wet hair. Allow to air-dry naturally or style with a diffuser. Once dry, scrunch curls to break the cast.
Let’s take it further: Apply product using the praying hands or glazing technique. To remove excess moisture and help create a better cast, before you apply the gelée, you can plop or microplop with a cotton t-shirt or microfiber towel. Air-dry or follow with a diffuser.
PRO TIP: Hover over curls with a diffuser to help set the cast. For added volume, diffuse upside down or side to side. Once hair is completely dry, apply an oil, such as K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Glossing Oil, to break the cast and add shine.
