Defining is shaping and styling your curls so they look healthy, nourished, and beautiful. It can be such a wonderful process that your curls stay in shape for days. This process is greatly influenced by personal taste.
There are many ways to do it, and the key to achieving good definition lies in using the correct technique with excellent products specifically chosen for your hair. Let's talk about defining with the Fitagem technique.
Definition of Fitagem
It's a very quick definition, gives medium volume (how we choose to dry and finish greatly influences this) and medium definition. See the step-by-step instructions.
- Divide your hair into two sections and apply styling cream to each half. Or you can apply the cream by strand. I advise you to try both methods and stick with the one you like best.
- Section all your hair into 3, 4 or 5 parts (depending on how much hair you have).
- You are going to take each section and divide it horizontally (for more volume) or vertically.
- You apply gel by strand (you can do this step at the end of the process if you like more volume)
- Now passes the detangler brush or definer below that small section and scrunch (squeeze upwards)
- You repeat this in your whole little head.
- If you decide to apply the gel at the end, just put your head upside down and apply it with your hands together (pray hands technique) and then repeat the application by scrunching until all your hair is soaked with gel.
- Finish by removing the excess product with a microfiber towel
- Let your hair dry in the open air or with diffuser
- Once your hair is dry, apply two puffs of Jojoba Oil in your hands, rub and scrunch (it is to squeeze the hair upwards)
- If you like volume, section your hair again, apply oil to your fingers, and carefully separate the curls.

It seems difficult, but once we try it, we realize that we can even personalize the steps so that our unique hair can reach its full potential.
By using gel, we are providing hold, avoiding frizz, achieving longevity, and avoiding doing this process every day.
When we break the hardness of the gel with Jojoba Oil we achieve shine and prevent splitting.
