Tips for Using Giovanni CG Products
-
Use the mild shampoo occasionally as a clarifier when products build up too much, otherwise alternate with a co-wash or conditioner wash.
-
Apply leave-in or hydrate cream to damp hair to lock in moisture, then follow with a gel or styling product for definition.
-
Don't use too much product at the roots to avoid grease; focus on the lengths and ends.

Rinse thoroughly, especially styling gels, to avoid residue that can cause frizz or weigh hair down.
-
Combine with gentle drying (let it air dry or diffuse at a low temperature) and protect from heat.
