your frizz-fighting hair care routine

  1. your smoothing routine starts in the shower with velveteen dream smoothing shampoo and conditioner. massage a quarter-sized amount of shampoo through wet hair focusing on the roots, then rinse. to get the best out of your hair wash routine, we recommend double cleansing, then fully rinsing out. next, apply the conditioner from mid-lengths to ends and let it sit for two to three minutes. rinse thoroughly.
  2. after you’ve cleansed and conditioned, squeeze any excess water from your hair. apply smooth over frizz-fighting treatment from mid-lengths to ends, ensuring all of your hair is fully saturated. wait 1 minute, then rinse. 
  3. once you’re out of the shower, towel-dry your hair so it’s damp. apply a small amount of velveteen dream smoothing balm to hair, then heat style as desired.
  4. as a prep + protect step prior to heat styling, spray the shield anti-humidity spray to hair as a style-extender and humidity blocker.
  5. enjoy the smoothest hair of your dreams!
