How to Loosen Up Your Natural

• Rinse 5 minutes, or until water runs clear
• Place a stocking cap or mesh scarf over your hair, then apply shampoo over the cap
• Lightly massage your scalp and rinse again for 5 minutes
• Sit under a hood-style dryer with the cap in place until hair is completely dry
• Apply a light oil to remoisturize

• Rub Weightless Conditioning Shampoo between your palms first, then distribute evenly
• Rinse with water that's tepid, not hot
• Apply Weightless Detangling Conditioner in the same way, only avoid applying it to the root area
• Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticle
• Avoid over-rinsing; leaving a little conditioner in your hair is fine
• Towel-blot hair; don't rub vigorously

• Rinse your hair with warm water, as you gently fingercomb it
• Divide your hair into sections. Then apply a small amount of Moisture Plus™ After-Shampoo Conditioner to each section, working it in from roots to ends
• Alternately, dilute conditioner with water in a spray bottle and mist hair thoroughly
• Wait a few minutes while conditioner penetrates
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water
• Towel-blow or "squeeze" hair; avoid rubbing it

• Divide your hair into 4 sections and apply Nourish™ Leave-In Conditioner throughout hair
• If hair is wet, gently comb from the ends upward, using a wide-toothed comb
• Take smaller sub-sections to blow dry
• Run the brush or comb down the section, and follow it with your blower
• Turn the comb or brush slightly to create moderate tension on the section
• If you use a concentrator attachment, avoid holding it too close, and always keep it moving
• Dry both the top and the bottom of each subsection
• Complete all four sections in this manner

• First apply Nourish™ Leave-In Conditioner and a moisturizing lotion or Heat Seeker™ Protecting Spray
• When you want sexy volume, apply Light Styling Foam to the roots only, then blow dry
• When setting, smoothing or iron curling, apply styling products like foams or hair lotions from roots to ends
• Apply a hairdressing at the scalp if desired
• When styling is completed, use Motions spray sheens, pomades or hairdressings to detail, finish and add shine

• Clip your hair away from your face, but not too tightly
• If you use a headband, make certain it's made from soft, absorbent cotton or silk
• After exercising, towel blot your hairline gently, then smooth hair while applying Original Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion or a hairdressing

• First, work through Heat Seeker™ Protecting Spray and Light Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion before you blow dry, press or flat iron hair
• Take a section and begin curling at the nape
• Insert the iron half an inch from the scalp, hold, then turn it to feed in the ends
• Place a comb at the base, between the iron and the scalp, if you need to protect your scalp
• Control the ends! Put a tiny amount of Light Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion on your fingertips and use them to smooth the ends over the barrel. You can also use end papers
• For a speedy style, flip up ends only. Or, hold the iron vertically and add a few spirals
• Finish by smoothing ends and strays

• After shaking out your hair, divide it into four sections
• Take small subsections, and fingercomb through a dime-sized amount of Oil-Free Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion
• As the curl softens, shake or scrunch the section
• Repeat on each subsection
• Let hair air dry partially before blow drying
• Always use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer

• Check coils for any fuzzies or debris before slipping on a sleep cap
• Keep room temperatures cool so your scalp doesn't sweat at night
• In the a.m., take a pea-sized amount of Moisture Enhancing Hairdressing, rub it between your palms and palm roll coils to refresh them
• Spray with a light oil to keep hair moist, such as Marula Natural Therapy Hair and Scalp Oil

• Divide your hair into 4 or 5 sections
• Take subsections for rollers
• Never take partings wider than the roller's diameter
• For volume, position the roller directly between two partings
• Turn the roller under for hair that turns under
• Direct rollers straight back for off-the-face styles
• Use zigzag partings, not straight lines, if you want hair to blend with no "splits"

• Use a moisturizing shampoo and companion conditioner (such as Lavish™ Conditioning Shampoo and Moisture Plus™ Conditioner)
• For extra-dry, weak or damaged hair, use D.P.T.™ Deep Penetrating Treatment and leave on a few minutes longer before rinsing out
• Use a humidifier indoors in winter
• Use a natural boar-bristle brush; synthetic ones can add static
• Before styling, be sure to moisturize your hair thoroughly (try Hair and Scalp Conditioner)

• Using a rattail comb, begin at the crown and comb hair clockwise
• Continue combing and smoothing, as you work across the front
• Strive to create a cone shape and work around your head, combing hair so it "wraps" around in a circular pattern
• Re-smooth the top and front hairline, then secure with wrap sticks or long hair pins
• Dry under a hooded dryer or slip on a scarf and let dry overnight

• Always start with Heat Seeker™ Protecting Spray, misted-on all over hair
• Take partings about the size of the base of the flat iron
• Partings should be clean, straight and fine - don't take too much hair at once
• Use a slow, pulling motion to get a smoothing, silkening effect
• Re-mist each section with Heat Seeker™ Protecting Spray as you work
• Do the area closest to the scalp twice, then pull the iron down the strands
• Flick up ends a bit; don't pull the iron straight down. Hair will look more bodified
• Finish with a hairdress or a sheen spray

• For instant volume on relaxed hair, part off the front near the recesses, brush hair straight back, hold behind the crown and push forward a bit. Then slip in a jeweled hair clip
• Spiral a ribbon through your natural coils. Just one or two on the heavy side of an asymmetrical style looks balanced. Or, add a single, side braid for a fresh change
• Use Sculpt & Twist Molding Crème to create new, subtle details. It's got holding power, but is flexible enough to play around with in case your change your mind
• Apply a small amount to your fingertips and bend your hair as you like. Pinch ends to add separation, break-up or side sweep a fringe. Curve the sides of a bob onto your face
• Change your part from one side to the other. Suddenly, hair looks new!

• If your relaxed hair is damaged, consider a loose weave when transitioning
• Ask your professional stylist about straw sets and different types of twists. They can make the two textures look similar, while hair grows out
• Deep condition every time you shampoo
• Never put stress on the line of demarcation. Keep hair well moisturized and use Smoothing Shine Serum before and after styling
• Roller set your hair, adding more tension when you reach the natural texture
• Use hard plastic rollers; spongy ones absorb moisture from your hair
• Do not use heat to straighten natural curl to match relaxed hair. Ask your stylist for options, including one of the new short cuts

• Add extra spray or a touch of pomade to your fingertips and smooth any edges, frizzes or flyaways

• Long bangs are the most versatile because you can slick them back, sweep them to one side or tuck them behind your ears
• For bold, blunt fringes, keep the edge sharp by combing straight down and misting on Light Hold Working Spritz
• Use the working spritz to detail ends of bangs. Pinch them to create separation, hold them to the side with a comb while they dry for a soft sweep or add air flow from your blower to direct them any which way

• Comb Light Styling Foam through damp hair and follow with Shine Enhancing Pomade
• Starting at the part, create the open end of a wave with comb. Comb in a "C" or half-moon shape that curves off and away from the part, then toward your face
• Place your index finger at the bottom of the curve, then use the comb to push in a the ridge underneath your finger
• Put your middle finger on the center of the ridge and move your index finger below it. Here's where a friend helps
• Now, comb hair away from the ridge, moving in the opposite direction as before
• Practice makes perfect. Try making one big side wave to start
