Beanie Season: Avoiding Flatness — Case Notes #2

Beanie Season: Avoiding Flatness — Case Notes #2. We’ll cut through hype and show you what reliably moves the needle.

Your best routine is boring in a good way—same steps, small tweaks for climate and porosity, and predictable results.

Steps

1. Detangle with water + conditioner in sections
2. Dry hands-off; break the cast only when fully dry
3. Layer gel/foam; rake then scrunch

Toolkit

• Wide-tooth comb or flexible brush
• Satin/silk pillowcase or bonnet
• Microfiber towel or T-shirt

“Technique first, product second.”

Example

For workouts: quick refresh—mist water + a touch of leave-in at the hairline and crown.

Execution angle: one tweak at a time for 2–3 wash days; track results briefly so patterns become obvious.

Porosity & Climate Notes

• Low porosity: lighter layers; avoid heavy oils
• High porosity: seal ends; more frequent masks
