Try it: “Start with towel-dried clean hair,” says Amoryn Eve Pagdilao, hair stylist at Salon Shags in Redland, California. “Apply Macadamia Reviving Curl Cream to damp hair and lightly coat the hair from root to tip. If hair texture has voluminous curl or a straight texture, blow dry hair and create a little volume at the root area. Take a 1-inch barrel curling iron and wrap 1-inch sections around the barrel. Repeat throughout the hair, alternating curl patterns. Spray with Macadamia Healing Oil Spray for touchable shine and natural movement.”
