First, cleanse your hair with one of the As I Am® cleansers: Cleansing Pudding⁺ or Coconut CoWash.

• Distribute Hydration Elation® throughout hair
• Leave on 15 – 30 minutes, wearing a plastic cap.
• Optional: Allow conditioner to penetrate under a warm hood dryer for the deepest treatment.
• Remove cap, add a bit of water, and then carefully detangle hair.
• Rinse thoroughly.

Treat your hair to an intensive conditioning treatment every 2 to 3 weeks (or even more frequently, depending upon the condition of your hair and what you do to it.

TIPS

Tightly curled/coiled hair has a tendency to be drier than other textures. It needs moisture to resist styling damage, to feel good and to look vibrant. Our curls and coils “pop” into alignment more readily and are smoother when they are consistently hydrated.

Selecting moisturizing products for your hair is very important, but it’s just part of the solution.

• You must also avoid practices that rob your hair of moisture, such as cleansing with harsh shampoos, exposing your hair to extreme sunlight, wind and frigidly cold weather conditions.
• Make a habit of “babying” your hair by using moisturizing products designed for it.
• Always detangle gently.
• Wear protective styles, at least from time-to- time.
• Deep condition your hair every 2 to 3 weeks. You may want to do so even more frequently, depending upon the condition of your hair and what you do to it.
• Whenever time permits, use a heat cap or hood dryer– on a warm, not hot setting— and leave conditioner on for 25-30 minutes. This allows for the greatest penetration of conditioners and moisturizers. See Ask A Scientist for Expert Information on “About Conditioning”.
