According to Bowman, “oils can be mixed with creams, gels, or mousses.

Never mix creams, gels, or mousses together; always layer these products!”

Or layer your products.

Choose hydration over everything.

If you are going to opt for one product and one product only, Lenora suggests focusing on hydration.

To target all the strands in one go, focusing on moisture is key.

That way, your curls will look bouncy and shiny, even if they might not all look identical.

The takeaway.
