Forest Mint Styling Cream: How to Apply for Flexible Hold

Quick answer

Apply a small amount of Forest Mint Styling Cream to damp or dry hair, starting from the back and working forward, to achieve a relaxed, flexible hold without stiffness.

How to apply Forest Mint Styling Cream step by step

1. Start with clean, slightly damp hair: Wash and towel-dry your hair until it's damp, not soaking. This helps the cream spread evenly. Common mistake: applying to soaking wet hair dilutes the product and reduces hold.
2. Dispense one pump into your palm: One pump (about a dime-sized amount) is enough for short to medium hair. Rub your palms together to warm the cream. Common mistake: using too much product, which can weigh hair down or make it look greasy. Start with less; you can always add more.
3. Apply from back to front: Run your palms through the back and sides of your hair first, then move to the top and front. This ensures even coverage where you need it most. Common mistake: applying only to the top, leaving the back and sides unstyled.
4. Shape with your fingers: Use your fingertips to tousle and lift the hair into your desired shape. The cream's light hold lets you reposition easily. Common mistake: overworking the hair, which can cause frizz or disrupt the natural pattern. Let the cream set for 30 seconds before making final adjustments.
5. Let it air-dry or use a diffuser: For a relaxed, natural look, let hair air-dry. If you need more volume, use a diffuser on low heat. Common mistake: using high heat, which can dry out the cream and make hair look stiff.
