Analysing your results
If your hair doesn't fall back into shape then it's non-elastic. It's craving moisture.
The first step is to treat it to a deep conditioning mask. This will infuse it with the hydrating nutrients it needs to bounce back to life.
You should then seal in that moisture using an oil. The oil will lubricate the hair strands, which prevents it from drying out too quickly. It effectively seals that moisture in.
Result is less frizz, split ends and breakages. Your hair will be shinier and more vibrant.
