Styling tips:

~On dripping wet hair,divide your hair into three or four sections.

~Take a quarter size to a dime size of water base gel and rake the product in your hair with your fingers. working in sections.

~Work the gel in until it feels like you have the product evenly distributed.

~Then gently scrunch each section.

~You can take a cotton fiber towel to help absorb the water after you have put the gel in. Curlslikeus.com have a great towel for this.

~After the gel is worked in take your duck bill clips and slide them in your hair at the scalp. Remember to turn them on their side so you are cutting them like a knife. This will help add volume.

~Air dry or defuse.

~Finally,De-crunch! Take large sections of hair and twist them all the way threw the ends.

ENJOY!

Enviromental Working Group is awesome!

Just a little update: I am working in Bellevue,WA at Salon Soma
Things are going well! Thank you for all the curly hair support!

I also love the website:www.ewg.org it is short for the enviromental working group. They research product, among other important things, and report on their findings.
They rate products for toxcitiy. Scale of 1-10 (10 is high toxcitiy) Then, they break down the ingredients to tell you what ingredient is toxic and what health effects, if any, that ingredient has. It is a great tool to use when you're looking for products.

I hate to admit it but I feel the beauty industry has a big hand in all the negative health problems humans are facing today. We need to have more companies out there looking out for the consumers best interest! Way to go EWQ, I'm a supporter!
