How To Prep Your Natural Hair For Heat and Preserve Curls:
Step 1: Detangle Hair with Deep Conditioner
Apply the deep conditioner generously to your hair, infuse your hair with necessary moisture and nutrients and detangle, focusing on the ends where tangles are most common. Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush to gently detangle your hair from the ends working your way up to the roots, ensure even distribution of the conditioner.
Step 2: Apply Bentonite Clay Mask Treatment
Bentonite clay is renowned for its detoxifying properties and can work wonders on your hair by removing impurities and buildup. Our Bentonite Clay Mask Treatment which is made with a blend of moisturizing oils.
Step 3: Use a Conditioning Cap for Deeper Product Penetration
To maximize the benefits of our Bentonite clay mask treatment, cover your hair with a conditioning cap and leave it on for 15 minutes. For deeper product penetration, add some extra heat by blow-drying while the cap is on. The heat opens up the hair cuticles, allowing the treatment to penetrate more effectively, resulting in softer, more manageable hair.
Step 4: Wash Out with Shampoo
Next, it’s time to wash out all the treatments with a gentle shampoo. Choose a sulfate-free cleansing shampoo, lather the shampoo in your hands and apply it to your scalp, gently massaging to remove any remaining clay and conditioner. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. It’s important to ensure all product residues are washed out to prevent any buildup that could weigh your hair down.
Step 5: Re-moisturize with Deep Conditioner
Shampooing may strip your hair of its natural oils, so it’s important to re-moisturize with more deep conditioner. Focus on the mid-lengths and ends do not use conditioner on scalp. Use a detangling / styling brush again at this stage. Leave the conditioner on for at least 3-5 minutes before rinsing out.
Step 6: Apply Leave-In Conditioning Curl Cream
While still in the shower, apply our Mositurizing leave-in curl creme. Work the product into your hair using a detangling/ styling brush, this step encourages your curls to clump together and pop, it’s crucial for defining your curls and providing additional moisture.
