• Apply Herbal Essences Naked Volumizing Soufflé to very wet hair.
• Put a golf ball size amount into the palm of your hands and then rub your palms together to emulsify the product. Use your palms almost as your palette—dip your fingers into your palm to pick up the product and then rub it at the scalp. The roots require the most product to lift and provide volume.
•Wring out the remaining moisture from the hair, allowing the water to carry the product evenly through the hair.
