For Naturally Wavy Hair

• The first step to scrunch naturally wavy hair or even curly hair is to use a special shampoo and conditioner for increased volume and more curls. After washing your hair, use the curl enhancing products and towel dry your hair, make sure that your hair remains damp. This step is important to get rid of the extra moisture that won’t work well with the scrunching products like, mousse, hair gel, etc. If your hair tends to get frizzy, apply some anti frizz spray to it. If you don’t want to wash your hair, just moisten hair properly from roots to tips, this will prepare your hair for the next step.
• When you are done preparing your hair for scrunching, the next step is to scrunch the hair right away. Rumple the hair (using mousse, or hair gel) using both your hands; starting from the ends continue crumpling all the way to the roots. When you are done doing this, blow-dry your hair. The diffuser must be connected to the blow dryer. Now run the diffuser all throughout your hair. Make sure you rotate between clockwise and anticlockwise directions. When your hair dries up, stop.

For Long And Straight Hair

• The right way to scrunch naturally straight and long hair is a bit different, although the initial steps for preparing the hair remains the same in all cases. So for this, you should wash your hair with volume enhancing shampoo and conditioner before going to bed. Towel dry your hair after the wash just until the extra moisture dries up. Now put some light holding spray on your hair.
• Now that you are done preparing your hair for scrunching, the next is to part your hair into a few sections, and then tightly braid each section. Secure the braids using elastic band so that they stay in place even when you are asleep. Upon waking up, just untie the braids and run your fingers to loosen the cluttered hair. Do this for two to three times and you are ready to flaunt those romantic flows.
