Step 5: Dry. (Still, no tools needed.)

You may have heard that using a towel to dry your precious curls is a big no-no. Why? Towel drying can be abrasive and cause damage. Instead, ‘plop’ or cup and blot and squeeze the hair using a cotton t-shirt; this will press the product into your hair while squeezing the excess water out. Now step away from the mirror and leave your hair to air dry or flip your head up and tie your curls on top using a turban - recommended if you’re drying overnight. Once 100% dry, carefully scrunch with your hands to break down that crunchy product coating without disturbing the curl pattern.
