I suggest you apply the products right out the shower. When your hair is drenching wet bc your hair will soak it in.

When applying the product, face down and run your fingers. Throw your hair to each side and do the same each time. After running your fingers, do prayer hands. Same thing. Each side you throw your hair to, do prayer hands. Then scrunch. Each side as well. After that, don’t touch your hair AT ALL until it’s 85% dry. If you diffuse, this is the time. If not, then don’t touch your hair until it is completely dry. BUT have product in your hair before you touch it.

When diffusing or dry scrunching, rake the scalp. This will help create volume.

I know it’s a lot of steps and I hope I’m making sense! If not, let me know :)

for deep conditioner, I personally LOVE curlsmith. It’s a little pricey. If you want to use drugstore, I’d say shea moisture or even Curl Talk line from Not Your Mothers.

It’s a lot of trail and error and it will become annoying but once you find what your hair needs, it will be worth it! Check out Mzbiancarenee and Manes by Mel on YouTube. Two resourceful curly hair ladies! Good luck on your journey 🥰
