  • Sit under a dryer for nearly 15-20 minutes, and then remove the plastic cover to show off your smooth, soft, and shiny stresses.

Technique #2

  • Follow the steps of washing and drying your hair the same way as in the previous technique.
  • Once your hair is dry, in place of a conditioner or moisturizer, apply a small amount of hair lotion or cream to moisture as well as add some volume to hair.
  • Now, apply just a dab of hair serum, and smoothen your hair using a paddle brush or a large tooth comb.
  • Once your hair is free of tangles, apply a small amount of setting lotion and wrap it well.
  • Sit under a hair dryer, and then comb your hair down using a large tooth comb.
  • Again apply a dab of serum, and wrap your hair, using a long piece of saran wrap. Make sure you cover the entire head, and sit under a hair dryer for around 15-20 minutes.
  • Finally, remove the wrap, comb your hair, and you are done.
