"Because I've eliminated the waves, it's, it's allowing it to bounce. You can see the S shaping right there, which is actually what a curl is. So many guests would come in to me and I would say, you have naturally curly hair. And they would say, no, no, no, it's just a wave. Well, a wave is natural curl. It's an S shaping, no matter how you look at it. The only reason why it's not curling, is because of weight. Either because of the length of the hair, or the product that's being used on it. OK, I'm going to turn you around, go ahead and tilt your head to the other side. This finer, naturally curly hair has to be dried immediately. It can not be air dried very long at all, because it changes and it'll, the weight of the water will pull the curl out. And, it won't allow it to bounce in there. So, if you find that it's air dried too long, you can actually re-wet it. Mist it with so, a water bottle, and start over. The one, also great thing about finer, curly hair is that it does dry very quickly. You want to, if you're diffusing it, you want to dry it a hundred percent. Don't allow it to air dry at all, when it's this loose of a curl. If you have a bounce factor that is one and a half inches to three inches, than you want to let it air dry only. Because the more air you put in it, the bigger it's going to get. So, that, that type of curl is different."
