Step 3

Styling: Our curling gum for styling to keep curls in place for between 7 to 14 days. If I want my curls to last longer, I use our spritz just immediately after styling.

Step 4

Rolling Technique: Section hair into small parts for easier control. Apply the gel and use perm rods, or other rods starting from the ends, rolling upward. Smooth and tuck the ends tightly before rolling to avoid frizz.

Step 5

Dry Time: Let it air dry overnight or sit under a hooded dryer for 1–2 hours. Make sure hair is 100% dry before taking rods out!

Step 6

Unravel & Fluff: Gently unravel each rod. Separate curls for volume (use oil to reduce frizz). Pick at the roots to lift if needed.

Step 7

Final Look: springy defined curls ready to bounce all day and week.
