Rake and Shake (n): Ouidad's signature styling method for defining curls of every curl type.
Follow these five simple curly hair styling tips to achieve your optimal curl formation:
Step 1: Apply the appropriate foundation product for your specific curl type: Waves & Loose Curls, Spiral, Tight, and Coily.
Step 2: Beginning underneath, divide hair into five sections.
Pro Tip: If you're looking for even more definition and volume, try creating smaller sections.
Step 3: Apply a quarter-size amount of your curl-specific styling product to each section and use your fingers to rake through your curls from root to tip to detangle and smooth.
Step 4: As your fingers reach the ends, shake at the wrist to encourage curl formation.
Step 5: Diffuse dry on a low, warm setting. Once hair is dry, "open" the curl using a hydrating oil like Ouidad's Mongongo Oil Multi-Use Curl Treatment to break up the gel cast.
