<aside> 💡 IMPORTANT: As I am, shea moisture etc are considered the fast fashion equivalent of hair products. These products will not help your hair, even the ones that claim they can hydrate your hair and fix your problems. If you think your hair is nice now using those products, trust me when I say you’ll love your hair even more switching to products with HUMECTANTS.

<aside> 💡 Hair products and hair routines are more ONE SIZE FITS ALL than everyone makes you believe. Yes you can do this is you have type 4 hair, etc. These steps are a general guideline for ALL hair. Your hair porosity does not matter when it comes to these products either.

<aside> 💡 IMPORTANT: Every single step you follow in S&C, styler application is a SKILL. It will take time to get good at sectioning smoothly and efficiently, smoothing, detangling well, marrying conditioner, applying styler / leave in in a timely and efficient fashion. It takes a handful of tries but it’s absolutely worth the amount of patience you’ll need to give yourself.

</aside>

• All of your hair products (shampoo, conditioner, leave in/styler MUST contain humectants in it)

• Don’t take more than 15 minutes for either step in S&C
• Use scalp massagers for your hair brush
• always smoothen when applying shampoo so it covers your hair more evenly - detangle when shampooing.
• smoothen conditioner into hair. Your main focus during conditioning is just to smoothen and rake product through hair 2-3 times then smooth again. Really marry the conditioner into your hair. You’ll know when to move onto the next section!
• Once you’re done in the shower, aim to start applying your mousse/style of choice as soon as you can. You will need a water bottle on hand to saturate your hair before application.
• Application of the mousse NEEDS to be thorough.
