Right after having my hair cut I realized that I would have to change up my curly girl hair routine just a tad. Ponytails and buns are a thing of the past and I was forced to find another go to.

My stylist who cut my hair (@onyestles) recommended the below and it is THE only product I use to style my hair.

Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Curl Enhancing Mousse

NO PARABENS - NO PARAFFIN - NO PETROLATUM - NO MINERAL OIL

This unique formula has a soft-pliable hold, dries quickly, and reduces frizz while giving off a gorgeous, natural sheen. Our mousse defines curls when it comes to rocking wash-and-go looks, roller sets, flexi-rods and twist-sets.

How I Use:

After shampoo & conditioner or co-wash, I like to part my hair in small sections for better definition of curls. I apply the mousse to the roots of my hair and use a small tooth comb to cover my hair with the product. As I go through each section I make sure to keep each previous section separate from the other. I DO NOT comb the sections together to reduce frizz and increase curl definition.

When I have finished, I sit under the dryer for 30-45 minutes. This style will last me for 2 weeks even with gym time.
