Frequently asked
Common questions.
Daily or every-wash use?
Every wash. Curly hair needs leave-in to retain moisture. Skip and you'll see dryness within 2 days.
How much should I use?
Generous — most users underapply. Two large palmfuls for shoulder-length curly hair.
Should I apply to wet or dry hair?
Soaking wet. Apply scrunching upward, then air-dry or diffuse.
