When styling your curls, it’s best to apply a curl cream first and then use a gel on top. This is because curl cream provides hydration and conditioning to the curls and helps to define the curl pattern. Gels provide hold and help to keep the curls in place. Applying the gel first can make the curls crunchy and difficult to style.

Do you use gel before or after curl cream?

Generally, it is best to use a curl cream before applying a gel. This helps to provide a better hold for the gel and prevents the gel from weighing down the curls. Additionally, it is important to make sure that the curl cream is completely dry before applying the gel, as this helps to ensure that the gel will not be diluted by the curl cream.

What is the correct order for curly hair products?

The correct order for applying curly hair products is:
1. Prep: Use a shampoo and conditioner designed for curly hair.
2. Detangle: Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to detangle curls.
3. Hydrate: Apply a curl-defining cream, gel, or leave-in conditioner to help define curls and add moisture.
4. Diffuse or air-dry: If you want to speed up the drying process, use a diffuser attachment on your blow-dryer. Otherwise, allow your curls to air-dry.
5. Style: Use a light-hold hairspray to help maintain your style.
