How to style curly hair, like a pro....

Cuarly hair is stunning, but can also feel overwhelming when it comes to styling. The secret? It's all about technique - and knowing when to apply your products. 

Our curly hair specialist, Mendi, shares on elf her favorite insider tips:

"Apply curly products in the shoer while the hair is dripping wet. Squish it in don't ring it out!" - Mendi

Here's why this tip makes all the difference:

🚿Apply While Dripping Wet

Curly products (like leave-in conditioners, curl creams, and gels) need water to evenly distribute and lock in hydration. Applying them while your hair is taking wet helps curls form without frizz. 

🤲🏼The "Squish" Method

Instead of towel - drying or ringing out your hair, gently scrunch the product upward into your curls. This technique encourage natural curl patterns to form and gives your hair bounce.

⛔️Avoid Over-Drying

Ringing or towel drying can rough up your cuticle, which leads to frizz and loss of curl definition. Save your microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt for gentle blotting only. 

The bottom line:

Healthy, defined curls start in the shower. By following Mendi's pro tip, you'll find styling curly hair becomes less of a struggle - and more of a confidence boost.
