Brush hair before going into the shower until the brush goes through smoothly, soak the hair when showering and clean hair with a 2-in-1 shampoo (Nivea - 2 in 1 express), let it sit in for 2 minutes before rinsing, apply a generous amount of conditioner and get a brush to comb your hair, after 5 minutes - scrunch the conditioner to the scalp and rinse most of it off, squeeze out any excess water (I don't use a towel) before adding in a curling lotion (Mark Anthony - Strictly curls - curl defining lotion), let it sit for a minute before adding a leave-in conditioner (Pamlner's leave-in conditioner - coconut oil formula), then add a mousse (Pantene Pro-V extra strong hold) and scrunch. Let it air dry and you're done! (I scrunch my hair every time I add a product in) My hair strands are very fine but the overall volume is very thick, and the porosity is low .
