Let the shape show.

Definition is a preference, not a rule. Some days you might want a more deliberate shape; on others, a looser finish.

Ask about styling options, the intended finish and how they are applied.

Choose the finish

Think about the feel and hold you enjoy rather than a curl pattern you are trying to copy.

Read the application notes

Styling formulas can call for wet, damp or dry hair. Use the directions for the product in your hand.

Let the routine settle

Write down the steps you used and what you liked. Your own notes can make the next styling day easier.
