Use on dry, styled hair. Rub stick onto palms. Apply suggested amount to mid-shaft, ends, or specific pieces. For extra hold, combine hair spray and texture balm by spritzing palms with hair spray before application. For short hair, apply with hands or directly with the stick for a textured/disheveled look. For fine hair, apply two to four strokes directly to your palms and spritz with your favorite hair spray to create texture without weighing down the hair. For medium to coarse hair, apply four to eight strokes with or without hair spray, depending on desired results. For coarser, curly, ethnic hair, apply six to 12 strokes or more to help tame, hydrate, and control frizz, waves, or curls
