I did NOT shampoo my hair. I detangled with conditioner, rinsed my hair with warm water, put Organics olive oil deep conditioner for 45 mins(put on a plastic bag on my head) then rinsed that out.
Next I applied Giovanni leave-in conditioner, detangled thoroughly, then sectioned into four parts.
I applied extra virgin olive oil to each section then started parting into smaller sections for the straws. To each small section, I dabbed very little Marini Curling Butter followed by a bit more flax seed gel. Too much curling butter will give you flakes. After that I'd just put the straw on, secure with a bobby pin and move to the next bit.
You can air dry if you have time, but I went to my local salon and sat under a hooded dryer for 35mins.
After removing the straws, I separated the curls with olive oil smeared on my palms to avoid frizz.
So. Tada! I love this hair
