2. Apply Deep Conditioner (1 x weekly)
The hair treatment (also called a mask or deep conditioner) nourishes and cares for the hair deeply and should be part of your curl care routine once a week. In contrast to the conditioner, it contains more effective ingredients , i.e. more butter and oils in proportion. Hair treatments also often have a restorative effect , which is the case, for example, when they contain hydrolyzed protein.

3. Apply conditioner
The conditioner is applied after the shampoo or hair treatment and rinsed out after a short period of time. It closes the cuticle layer of the hair with its slightly acidic pH value (3.5 and 4). This means that the shampoo and conditioner balance each other out and on average result in the pH value of the hair (4.5-5.5). This restores shine to the hair.

4. Detangle hair
After washing, untangle your hair with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb or curling brush and section the hair. A leave-in conditioner or detangler can be used to help.

5. Styling product (optional)
Depending on your moisture needs, you can now use a curl cream or curl enhancer as a styling base .
To do this, work/knead a small amount into the hair and ensure that it is evenly distributed.
6. Hold styling product
Finally, a gel is kneaded into the hair, which seals in the moisture previously worked in and holds the shaped and defined bundles together firmly.

7. Air dry and/or diffuse
Air dry your hair or use a diffuser on a warm or cool setting. Once completely dry, knead out the gel cast (SOTC method), if one has formed.
