Suggested Usage:
-Rake Leave In Conditioning Styler (sold separately) on sopping wet hair with your fingers as a moisture base to prep for styling.
-Make sure your hair remains sopping wet throughout the styling process by using a spray bottle filled with water.
-Grab a quarter-size amount and melt the Baomint Moisturizing Curl Defining Gel in your hands to warm up the product.
-Apply in small sections with your fingers for kinkier hair textures (for more defined kinks and coils) and larger sections for curlier textures.
-For frizz-free results, re-wet each section as you work through your hair to spread the product evenly with your fingers, making sure each strand is coated.
-Allow your hair to air dry or diffuse with a handheld dryer.
-Alternatively, sit under a hooded dryer on the low heat setting until 85 to 95 percent dry and then allow to air dry the rest of the way.
-This product can also be used for twist-outs, braid-outs, roller sets, and more.
-Tip: Do not use on dry or damp hair and do not mix with the Baomint Moisturizing Curl Defining Cream (sold separately) since the gel is cream based and may cause it to lose its hold.
