1.  Prep Your Curly Hair: Start with clean, wet hair. Apply your preferred styling products for curly hair, such as Curl Gel or Curl Cream.

3.  Clip In: Take one of the clips and gently clip it into the root of your hair in the desired area. Make sure it’s secure but not too tight. Repeat this process with as many clips as needed, wherever you want to combat flatness.
4. Let Dry: Allow your hair to air dry, or use a diffuser on low heat to dry your hair. Keep the clips in until your hair is completely dry.
5. Release and Zhoosh: Carefully remove the clips Once your hair is dry. Use your fingers to tousle and lift the roots for added volume. Enjoy your lifted, curly locks!

Afro Metal Hair Picks

Do you struggle with fiddly root clips, or just need something quick and easy to slide in and out?
Afro metal hair picks are the answer for you. Afro metal hair picks are used to create lift and volume at the roots as an alternative option to root clips or mini claw clips.
Simply slide 2 combs along the scalp toward each other, lift the hair and slide prongs between each other to lock into place.

How to use afro metal hair picks
There are a couple of ways to use Afro metal hair picks.

1.  Before drying and applying styling products, gently run combs along the scalp and lift the hair. Then, slide and lock the combs into place. Dry the hair moving and replace the combes in areas of the head that you desire more lift.
2. Afro metal hair hair picks can also used to “pick the curls”. Once the hair is fully dry, tip your head upside down and gently pick from the roots using the metal pick. This may create a little bit of frizz on your roots. However, this results in more volume.

Tip- Don’t comb your hair from roots to ends when picking your curls. Only comb from the roots about 2 to 3 centimetres.
