How will your hair feel from now on?

• With more volume and definition.
• Reduced frizz, softer and more hydrated hair.
• Protection against heat when drying or straightening.

The first thing we must do is know our curl type, so we can apply this method in the best possible way.

We know that curly hair is dry, so hydration is one of the most important steps, along with eliminating frizz and defining our curls.

How do I apply the curly method?

This method consists of 5 steps, with which you will achieve healthy, voluminous hair, easily and quickly. Since it is not a closed methodology, each person will have to adapt it with the techniques and products that work best for their hair.

Let's bring those curls to life!

Step 1: Cleansing with Fluffy shampoo

• Wet your hair well with warm water.
• Apply an adequate amount of Banbu's Fluffy shampoo to your hands and rub to create lather.
• Gently massage your scalp with the lather, ensuring you cover all areas.
• Rinse the shampoo out completely with warm water.

Step 2: Condition and detangle with the Fruit solid conditioner

• After washing with the shampoo and while it is still damp, apply the ultra-hydrating Fruit conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. We can use it both with or without rinsing.
• Using your fingers or a wide-toothed comb, gently detangle knots starting from the ends and moving towards the roots.
• Leave the conditioner in for a few minutes so it can penetrate the hair and hydrate it properly.

Step 3: Apply our styling gel to define curls

• Gently squeeze excess water from your hair, but do not dry it completely.
• Apply a generous amount of the curl-defining styling gel from roots to ends. Make sure to cover all strands of hair.

Step 4: Define your curls

• Use your fingers to shape your curls, gently squeezing and stimulating them.
• You can do "scrunching," which is squeezing the hair with your hands in an upward motion to define the curls.
• If you want more definition, you can use a microfiber towel or a cotton t-shirt to soak up excess water and set the curls in place.

Step 5: Drying and finishing

• Let your hair air dry for natural, soft results. If you are in a hurry, you can use a diffuser on your hair dryer with a low or medium heat setting.
• Avoid touching or combing your hair while it dries to prevent frizz.
• Once the hair is completely dry, you can give it a final touch by applying a little more curl-defining product if necessary.

Remember that every head of hair is unique, so experiment with different techniques and products to find the routine that best suits your curls.

The Curly Method is not a one-time process. It is an ongoing process that requires you to maintain your curls and give them the best possible look. The first step to maintaining curls is knowing how to care for them properly. Here are some tips:

• Use mild shampoo and conditioner.
• Wash only when necessary.
• Use a wide-toothed comb or brush instead of one with closely spaced teeth.
