For best results, start with freshly cleansed hair using As I Am Coconut CoWash. Towel blot and ensure hair is damp—use a spray bottle to re-dampen if needed. Apply As I Am Leave-In Conditioner to hydrate and prep the hair. Then, apply As I Am Smoothing Gel to the desired areas and smooth down using your fingers or a soft natural bristle brush. Allow hair to dry completely before touching to maintain hold and definition. To refresh the style the next day, lightly mist the area with water or As I Am CocoShea Spray, then smooth with damp fingers to reactivate the gel.
