    Towel-dry hair first so the hair can fully accept product, focusing on the mids and ends.

    Apply a dime-sized amount of Kenra Professional Platinum Air Dry Crème 6 to the hair, working through the mids and ends before applying to the hairline to tame frizz. Focus on overdirecting vellus hair from the hairline to ensure a smooth end result. This product has light hold, plus it helps hair air-dry up to 60 percent faster!

    Leave the back down, or lightly twist and clip up with a claw clip for more bend and movement. Allow to air-dry. When dry, your client can take out the clips, shake out her hair and enjoy her low-key bends.
