"I put a lot of gel in my hair just now but I am going to show you how to take the product out and form the curls. I am going to take my time and squeeze the hair in like this. You see how it is forming the curls. It is going to leave the curls a little bit tight. It is going to go ahead and form my curls but take out some of that product so that it doesn’t become so heavy. I am going to go to the other side. I am going to do the same thing. I am going to squeeze in, squeeze moving some of the product but forming a curl in the hair and that works tremendously well. So that way we can end up getting a nice formed curl. At the same time once I do that and I get some of that gel off, I am going to use my dryer. Okay. The hair dryer is going to dry some of those curls for me and make it easy for me to manage. I would advise if you don’t have a defuser which is what is needed for curly hair then you might just want to use the end of the dryer down like this and pressing on the curls down. Just like that. That way you can form the curl and it can dry a bit. You don’t have to use a dryer you know. You can let it dry naturally with the gel, but I prefer to use the dryer to form my curls. "
