"This is Amelia Smith on behalf of Expert Village. We'll be talking about the care and styling of curly hair. First I'm going to apply the cream gel to Laurens hair and I'm just going to scrunch that in. What scrunching is is when you take your hands and just basically push the hair up towards your scalp. So what you are doing is creating that wave in the hair you are pushing that curl in. So with someone with relatively wavy hair can actually get spiral curls out of there hair if they do this enough. So I'm applying the cream gel and I'm fairly generous with my product. The I'm going to apply the spray gel again the spray gel is going to give more support where as the cream gel is going to bundle those curls together giving it definition. That is what you're looking for with the curly hair style is the define curl cause when you don't have the define curl then that is when you have that big bushy look. Again you can see how that cream gel really does define that and here is the spray gel. You see already the curls have lighten up just by doing that."
