When your hair dries with the product in it, it will help establish your curls and keep them in place all day. If your gel feels crunchy as your hair dries, don’t worry—once your hair is completely dry, you can simply use your hands to scrunch your hair and break the crunchy gel cast. Your curls will stay in place and your hair will feel bouncy and light.
You can also try flipping your head upside down to scrunch in products.

You can plop your hair for about 10 to 15 minutes as you get dressed or put your makeup on. Then, take your hair down and let it air dry or dry it with a diffuser.

In general, you should try to avoid heat styling tools as much as possible to promote your hair health.
You don’t have to dry your hair all the way—in fact, some people find that drying their hair about halfway and then leaving the rest to air dry helps tamp down frizz and promote curls.
