# Besides using the FRAMESI COLOR LOVER CURL DEFINE Shampoo and Conditioner, is there anything else I can do to soften my damaged curly hair and make it more manageable?

## If the hair is very dry and damaged, after rinsing, apply a very small amount of FRAMESI COLOR LOVER CURL DEFINE Conditioner and leave it in the hair prior to styling.

If the hair is very dry and damaged, after rinsing, apply a very small amount of FRAMESI COLOR LOVER CURL DEFINE Conditioner and leave it in the hair prior to styling. This will smoothen the outer surface of your hair.  Rinsing the hair with cool water will also cause the cuticle to close and lie flat, thus making hair smooth.  PRIMER 11 is extremely necessary as the leave-in protection, penetrating hair with moisture and shine.  It enhances waves and curls without the “crunchy” side effect.
