Step 5: Finishing Touches
Once my curls are about 80% to 90% dry, I start to pull apart any curls still clumped together. Optionally, you can do this with a small amount of your favorite oil on your hands. Once clumps are separated, continue to diffuse until dry.
Once your curls are 100% dry, use your fingers to gently shake your curls out at the roots. This will help with volume and also help lift curls from your scalp.

Troubleshooting
Throughout my curly hair journey, I’ve found answers to a lot of painful questions, so let me guess some difficulties you may run into and help you find the perfect solution to each!
Curls Are Not Large/Fluffy?
Make bigger curl clumps. You should have approximately 6-8 curl clumps. The larger the clump when wet, the larger the curl!
Undefined Curls in Back?
I use this method if I have an area of hair in the back that is undefined. Simply re-wet the section of hair you want to define, add a little more product of choice, if needed, then curl the hair around your finger. Once the hair is curled to your scalp, slide a bobby pin in to secure the curl to your scalp. Air dry or diffuse, and remove the bobby pin once fully dry.

Curls Stuck to Scalp?
Be sure to gently move the curl clumps from side to side as you are diffusing or air drying! Once curls are 100% dry, flip your head over and gently shake curls at the roots. This will help lift the hair off your scalp.
