How to use and best practices

Traditional crimping creates tiny, uniform waves that add texture and lift from the scalp. Randomizing sections yields a more individualized look. For best results, work from root to tip with steady pressure and allow sections to cool before running your fingers through.

• Traditional Crimping: Separate a 2-inch section, clamp firmly, hold 5–8 seconds for fine hair or 10–15 seconds for thicker hair, glide along the section following the wave, avoid overlapping, and repeat until you reach the desired texture.
• Detail Crimping: Randomly pinch 2-inch sections across the head to create spontaneous texture while keeping some areas smooth for contrast.

Care and styling tips: Start at the lowest heat and adjust gradually. Let hair cool after passes to help texture set and maintain healthier looking strands.
