MAX HYDRATION METHOD BEGINS TODAY!

I should have started almost 3 weeks ago but life got in the way.

Currently, my hair is very coily/ringlet-y (not a real word, I know). Anyway, I will take pictures of my hair and DDs hair to track our progress.

For all options, note: Do not dry hair after each step/rinse. You want your hair to be very wet especially when you are applying the leave in. You can even do this under the shower. As you section your hair to apply gel, if the hair section you haven't gotten to yet is getting dry, apply or spray more watered down conditioner to the section, and slide of excess foam off as you work it in. Make sure it gets to your roots too. The wetter and more slippery your hair is after the leave in step, the softer the gel dries.
