Mousse / Gel
For curly-haired redheads or those who like some extra volume, now is a good time for your mousses and light gels. These will help to hold natural curls in place or add volume.
Oils and Serums
Once your hair is dry, you want to apply your oils and serums for added softness and shine. You can also apply these before you dry if you prefer or if you have a heavier oil that shouldn’t be applied to dry hair.
Hairspray / Dry Shampoo
Wait until after drying and styling to apply any hairspray or dry shampoo. These products don’t mix well with heat so you don’t want to apply them and then use hot tools.
