The Umberto Giannini Banana Air Dry Cream excels at bringing out the best in your natural hair texture. Its lightweight yet rich formula works by coating hair strands, providing moisture and a flexible film that encourages curl formation as hair dries.
How to Achieve Best Results:
Start with Damp Hair: After washing and conditioning, gently towel-dry your hair until it's damp, not dripping wet. This is the optimal moisture level for product absorption and curl formation.
Dispense Product: Squeeze a small amount (start with a pea-sized to a quarter-sized amount, depending on hair length and density) into your palm. Rub your hands together to distribute evenly.
Apply Evenly: Distribute the cream through your hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Ensure even coverage to all sections.
Scrunch for Definition: Gently scrunch your hair upwards towards the scalp. This encourages your natural curl pattern to form. Repeat this action throughout your hair.
Air Dry: Allow your hair to air dry completely. Resist the urge to touch or scrunch your hair while it's drying, as this can lead to frizz. Once fully dry, you can gently scrunch your hair again to break any potential cast, revealing soft, defined curls.
Tip: For added volume, you can diffuse your hair on a low-heat, low-speed setting after applying the cream and scrunching, but air-drying is the primary method this product supports.
