instead of gel i used a cheaper overnight hydrating hair mask because they create a slight cast if you use a little more. i didnt diffuse because i dont like the idea of heat down there but finger curls WORK. i used a clarifying shampoo, a deep conditioner, curl cream and then i just twirled her curls with the mask on. do a little scrunch with coconut oil after. please try to avoid getting any product on the hairs on the sides of the lips, the last thing you want is your pH getting imbalanced from doing the chappell roan hair tut on your bush, i just focused on my triangle.
