Spray lightly on dry hair, wait until it drys brush through to distribute.
I have no problems with sticky hair, works great and the curl holds for days.
I bought this thinking it would be fabulous because it's matrix. Wow was I wrong! I sprayed this in my hair before flat ironing it. I could NOT get a comb through my hair without breaking my hair off in the process. It was like I had literally sprayed super glue on my hair. I do NOT recommend this product. I had to wash it out of my hair and then my hair was still sticky. I was late for an appointment AND I have so much breakage now it's insane!
