He even suggests that if your strands are already blessed with natural shine then don’t use these products too much. And if your hair is thick or curly then use a little more or else avoid using too much of the spray.

After shampooing, dry your hair and then use the spray.

Tie all the hair up: Now use a ponytail elastic band and pull all of your hair up. However while tying up the hair make sure the ends are pointed towards your face as shown in the image. Leave a loop of hair meanwhile over the elastic.
