How to Use?

How to Use:

For best results, start with freshly cleansed hair using As I Am Coconut CoWash. Towel blot and ensure hair is damp—use a spray bottle to re-dampen if needed.

Apply As I Am Leave-In Conditioner to hydrate and prep the hair.

Then, apply As I Am Smoothing Gel to the desired areas and smooth down using your fingers or a soft natural bristle brush.

Allow hair to dry completely before touching to maintain hold and definition.

To refresh the style the next day, lightly mist the area with water or As I Am CocoShea Spray, then smooth with damp fingers to reactivate the gel.

Pro Tips:

• Clean hair delivers the best hold and shine.

• Avoid heavy oils or butters before applying the gel for optimal performance.

• For stronger hold, tie a scarf or use a wide headband for a few minutes after styling.

• Once hair is dry, avoid brushing or combing the smoothed areas.

• Apply to the hairline or smooth down the crown, sides, and nape for polished puffs, sleek updos, or frohawks.

What is Smoothing Gel best for?

Smoothing Gel is ideal for smoothing edges and creating neat ponytails, slick backs, puffs, and updos. Apply it to the hairline, crown, sides, or nape for a polished finish with hold and shine.

Is Smoothing Gel only for edges?

No. You can use Smoothing Gel to smooth larger areas of hair for pulled-back styles, as well as for everyday styling. Choose it when your main goal is a smooth, neat finish.

What is the texture of Smoothing Gel?

Smoothing Gel has a thick consistency suited to smoothing and shaping hair. Choose it primarily by the style you want to create, rather than by curl pattern alone.

How do I apply Smoothing Gel?

Start with clean, damp hair and apply As I Am Leave-In Conditioner. Apply Smoothing Gel to the areas you want to smooth, then shape with your fingers or a soft bristle brush. Allow hair to dry completely before touching.

What is the difference between Smoothing Gel, Curling Jelly, and Coconut Strong Hold Gel?

Choose Smoothing Gel for smooth edges, ponytails, slick backs, and other polished styles.

Choose Curling Jelly for flexible curl definition and buildable medium to firm hold.

Choose Coconut Strong Hold Gel when strong hold, curl retention, and frizz control are your priorities.

Is it suitable for colored or chemically treated hair?
