- Apply a curl or styling product.
- Finish and maintain the style according to your routine.

Where Does Leave-In Conditioner Go in a Cantu Routine?
Leave-in conditioner generally comes after washing and conditioning and before your main styling products when it is being used as a leave-in step.
A simple order is:
Shampoo → Conditioner → Leave-In → Curl Cream or Curl Activator → Finish
However, always follow the instructions for your specific Cantu product because individual formulas can have different recommended uses.
