You got that itch and need a rescue, but nothing works. You end up spending money after more money on your journey to find a good product that works. 

I början av min 'hair journey' så brukade jag skölja håret med te. Ja, vanligt lipton te som man dricker. Har även läst om att man kan göra samma sak med kaffe, det har jag inte prövat. 

How I smooth my hair when I do the afro puff.

What I use:

• IC Fantasia Hair Polisher Styling Gel (- with sparkle lites).
• Raw Shea butter ( It also contains some other oil since I whipped it myself after purchasing it).
• My DIY leave-in conditioner or plain water.
• A boar bristle brush or a small comb.
• Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Nourishing Sheen spray
• A headband in a stretchy material.
• IC Fantasia Hair Polisher Carrot Growth Serum ( Another product I bought when I was a product junkie lol).

How to do it:

1. If your hair isn't detangled then that will be your first step, but I start with a 'fro that has been detangled and moisturized over night by doing the GHE method.
2. Do a knot on the headband so that you can adjust the size of it. This will make it able for you to adjust the size and the placing of your puff. Take the headband and let it hang on your neck (like a necklace). Take a little bit of the Shea butter and smooth your edges, back and front. Brush your edges,back and front gently with the boar bristle brush. Your hair should now have another shape compared to how it looked like at first, it should be smoother now.
3. Spray some of the leave-in conditioner or water not straight on your hair, but in your hands. Then smooth your edges,back and front as in step 2.
4. Your hair should be a little damp now from step 3, if not then apply more of the leave in-conditioner or water. Take a little bit of the Shea butter and mix with some hair gel. Apply it to your edges, front and back by using smoothing it at the same time. Brush it again with the boar bristle brush.
5. Take about 8-10 drops of the hair serum and smooth your hair, do nut put this on your scalp only on your hair strands.
6. Take your headband and adjust the size off it and start pulling it backwards and adjust again. Keep doing this until you have your desired finish look. You might have to do this a couple of times, learning by doing.
7. At this point you should have a afro/high puff with smooth edges, back and front. if not then re-do it until you are satisfied. Finish your look with the hairspray to get a nice sheen.



This the consistency you want. Notice the different between the hair gel + shea butter and the hair gel by itself. 

You will need:

• A spray bottle.
• Water
• Hair conditioner
• Oil/-s

(additional)+ honey, shea butter.

Where to get them:

Spray bottle: I bought it at my local store (ICA) for 10 Swedish crowns and yesterday it was still there so go and grab some if you stay in Sweden lol. Or else you can buy them at any local store that have a variety of products.
The size of it doesnt really matter, but the bigger the better.

Water: From the same place you get your drinking water from.

Hair conditioner: Any. The one you use ( don't worry you, water is the key ingredient in this DIY receipe) or one you got specific for this DIY receipe.

Oil/-s: Any oil you use for your hair. EVOO, mustard oil, vegetable oil, carrot oil, almond oil, palm oil, jojoba oil and so on. I used EVOO, castor and coconut oil.

+: I also used shea butter in it, but don't forget to melt it first or else it will just stay on the bottle walls.

How to:

1. Be prepared with everything. Spray bottle ready? Hair conditioner ready? Oil/-s ready? (In case you use shea butter or coco butter, melt it first! )
2. Put 1 part of conditioner. There is no measurements for that, you will have to figure out that yourself since it depends on the size of the bottle.
3. Now add 3-4 parts of water to the conditioner (that is in the spray bottle). Shake well
4. It is now time to add the oil/-s. It is enough with a couple of drops (about ½ tablespoon) of each oil. Shake again. The mix should be watery and look kinda milky.
