Start with clean, damp hair or apply water/misting to slightly dampen it
Part hair into sections using clips to keep curls separated
Use a small amount of curl cream or styling gel to define and reduce frizz
Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb or fingers
For each section, twist or scrunch the hair upward to encourage curl formation
Add more product as needed, focusing on mid-lengths to ends
Use the “rake and twist” method: rake fingers through, then twist small sections to shape curls
Define curls with finger-coiling: wrap small strands around fingers and hold briefly
Smooth flyaways down with a light amount of gel or water
Let hair air-dry fully or use a diffuser on low heat
Avoid touching curls while drying to prevent frizz and loss of shape
Once dry, separate curls lightly with fingers for a natural look
If needed, refresh the style by misting lightly and re-scrunching with a small amount of product
Finish with a light anti-frizz serum or oil only on the outer layer for shine
