Advice

Learning how to use gel products like As I Am® Curling Jelly, specifically formulated to define curly and frizzy hair, can be very difficult at first. My advice is don't give up!

• Apply the product generously in small sections, on very damp hair. When an adequate amount of product is applied, the section should feel very slippery to the touch and glide very easily between your thumb and forefinger as you slide them down from root to tip.
• Be careful not to overapply because it will prolong the drying time (which is already long due to the type of natural ingredients in the formula). Also, too much product can leave sticky beads on your hair and cause eventual flaking.
• Whatever your method of application, Curling Jelly should work well on sections of hair as you apply it. Sliding sections between your thumb and forefinger several times, from root to tip, or “raking” larger sections of your hair, using your fingers as the rake, will define your waves and curls.
• As you apply Curling Jelly, arrange the sections in the position where you ultimately want your hair to be. For example, if you want a side parting style, position the sections of hair that way while applying the curly jelly to it.
• If a Leave-in Leave-in is applied liberally before applying Curling Jelly, the finish is smoother and less likely to flake.
• VERY IMPORTANT! Don't touch your hair before it's completely dry! If you do, your hair is prone to frizz and may lose some of its definition. It is best to apply first thing in the day and then let it air dry. Don't worry, the look you will get when you apply the product is shiny and well defined. If you don't have time or if the weather is cold, dry with a diffuser, on the low setting.
• Once the hair is completely dry, feel free to fluff it up to your satisfaction. The more you manipulate the hair, the more it fills in, so your fingers fluff more where you want it to be full. Little to no frizz where you want on flatter areas. Once the hair has been fluffed, it will not return to the original flattened alignment until you re-wet and restyle it.
• Even after your hair is dry, avoid disturbing its well-defined waves, coils, or curls, particularly at the ends of your hair. Doing so can cause them to lose their alignment and become frizzy.
• In the days after you've used Curling Jelly, you can apply As I Am® Moisture Milk, DoubleButter®Cream, or CocoShea Spray to add softness, moisture, and shine. If you notice any flakes, squeeze a bit of any of these moisturizers.
• Always secure your hair under a satin bonnet when sleeping. It will eliminate abrasion damage and keep your style longer.
• Finally, don't be afraid of the water. Now he's your friend! If a section looks a bit frizzy at the ends, moisten your index finger and wrap the ends around your finger to create a spiral. Notice how her beautiful waves fall back into line. Now, let it dry, without touching it while it is wet.
