Super Soaker method for promoting curl clumps

The super soaker is a method I found as I was reading through the NaturallyCurly forums. I thought I would share it with you guys. The Super Soaker method helps promote clumps much like the Squish to Condish method. And there are many other similarities too between the methods. Let’s get started 🙂

Just like the Squish to Condish, the Super Soaker method emphasizes on optimal hydration as the best secret to achieve juicy curl clumps.

The main(and perhaps only) difference between Squish to Condish and Super Soaker is that Squish to Condish is a method of applying(or rather rinsing out) conditioner DURING hair wash, while the Super Soaker is a method to apply styling products and leave ins AFTER your wash.

The Super Soaker method – How to

1) After conditioning hair, apply your favourite styling products to your hair in sections by running your fingers through them.

2) Comb your hair well with a wide toothed comb to distribute the product.

3) Lean over a wash basin or in front of a tap in your bathroom with your head flipped, and much like the Squish to Condish method, collect water in your palms and scrunch your hair.

4) Repeat till all sections of your hair are thoroughly soaked and dripping; or should I say superbly soaked *wink wink*.

5) Now if you apply mousse or gel, scrunch that in and use a cotton tee to scrunch out excess water.

6) Proceed to dry your hair.

The principle is that though raking (running fingers through hair) pulls the curls apart, it helps in even product distribution. And then when you super soak your hair following the raking, the water and product will work together to redo curl clumping.
