Use this type of balm after washing your hair with shampoo. Apply it mainly to the mid-lengths and ends, because these areas are usually older, drier and more prone to tangling or breakage. If your scalp becomes oily easily or reacts to hair products, avoid applying a large amount directly to the roots unless the product label specifically instructs otherwise.
After application, spread it through the hair with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb, working gently rather than pulling through knots. Let the balm sit for the time indicated on the packaging, then rinse thoroughly. Good rinsing is important: residue can make fine hair feel heavy, while too little product may not give enough slip for difficult-to-comb lengths.
For weak hair, the way you handle the hair after washing is just as important as the balm itself. Pat with a towel instead of rubbing, detangle from the ends upward, and use moderate heat if you blow-dry. The balm can help make hair smoother and more manageable, but careful handling helps preserve that effect by reducing unnecessary friction and breakage.
