Step-by-Step
1) Prep Clean & Dry
Start on clean, dry or barely damp hair. Towel off excess water after a bath.
2) Apply Small & Targeted
Work a small amount through mid-length to ends; these zones need the slip. Avoid saturating the roots.
3) Section & Hold
Divide into sections. Hold hair above the knot to protect the roots and reduce breakage.
4) Comb From Ends Up
Use short strokes, ends to crest. Switch to a brush only after major tangles are cleared.
5) Finish & Shine
Lightly brush for an even, glossy finish. Wipe hands before handling tack.
6) Maintenance
Reapply lightly through the week to keep slip, especially in muddy/windy stretches or during shows.
Pro tips
- Less beats more: Small amounts prevent residue and keep hair bouncy.
- Ends first: Working upward protects the roots and saves strands.
- Shine stack: Pair with Lavender Shampoo for a calmer, cleaner base.
Quick FAQs
How much product should I use?
Start with nickel to quarter size per section and build only if needed. Thin coverage + technique wins.
Can I use it daily?
Yes—light daily use is fine. If you see build-up, shampoo and reset, then go lighter.
Safe around tack?
Yes—wipe hands and avoid over-applying at the crest and near reins to keep grip consistent.
Face or feathers?
Use sparingly and avoid skin at the roots. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes.
