Allen Ruiz
1. “Product is key, remember you want product with both “slip” and “grip” meaning something with moisture to keep curls soft and frizz-free and something with “hold” or “grip” to keep curls defined.”
2. “The less you touch the hair with your hands, the more natural your curl will appear. Touching the hair causes it to frizz.”
3. “Diffuse the hair until it’s 85% dry using a diffuser with “fingers” so that you don’t actually have to touch the hair with your hands. Let the hair air dry the remaining 15% for a really natural, soft finish.”

1. “In addition to using conditioner, make sure you use a once a week deep treatment like Ouidad 12 Minute Deep Treatment Intensive Conditioner.”
2. “Don’t wash your hair every single day. Shampoo twice a week at the most.”
3. “Use a styling product in damp hair that is going to control frizz and define curls. I recommend Ouidad Climate Control Gel.”
