Wash it and condition it properly — conditioner is one of the key elements to getting the hair to really swell up and be bouncy and healthy and shiny. I dry the hair with a diffuser. I don’t usually put any product in it until it’s fully dry. That’s also one of the tricks to keeping it from getting really heavy and weighed down. Once I dry it out and make sure the curl is really locked in, that’s when I start to work in a shine product, a polishing pomade really helps rejuvenate that natural shine it already has. And that’s really it! I use a light holding spray to give it a hold with a fluffy bounce.

Try small rods while the hair is wet. This is a very simple and effective way to create a natural-looking curl pattern in the hair. Apply small rods at night after you wash your hair. Tie it down with a net and let it air-dry. In the morning brush it out, pick it out or wear it tight. It’s a very nice way to work with that natural hair that’s on the more tightly coiled side and can still be very healthy for the hair and help it stay very strong and gorgeous.

At night grab medium-sized portions of the hair, wrap them around your finger and pin them down with bobby pins to help the hair stay springy without you having to wet it the next day. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look exactly the same as the day before, play with it for a little variety. I like to see women with natural hair taking more risks

Hmm, that's interesting that she only applies product after her hair is dry. I would think she'd put some kind of moisture in it to lock it in before drying.
