Post-Shower, Pre-Compression: When to Apply Crème De La Crown™ for Maximum Results
Timing matters. Especially when it comes to grooming. The difference between decent waves and disciplined depth? Often, it’s knowing when—not just how—to apply your product.
Whether you’re brushing for 360s, wearing a cropped cut, or caring for a clean bald crown, applying Crème de la Crown™ at the right moment makes all the difference. And that moment? Right after your shower, before you compress.
1. Why Post-Shower Is Prime Time
Your pores are open, your hair is softened, and your scalp is clean. That’s the ideal time for product penetration. Applying your butter right after a warm shower helps the nutrients absorb deeper into both the scalp and hair strands, locking in hydration when it matters most.
Pro Tip: Towel dry gently, but leave your hair slightly damp—not dripping wet—for optimal absorption.
2. Brushing with Purpose
After applying Crème de la Crown™, take time to brush with the grain. The butter's emollient texture helps guide the pattern, soften the hair, and coat the strands for a defined look without buildup.
Don’t rush the brush. Five to ten minutes of focused brushing post-application not only reinforces the pattern—it also stimulates blood flow and ensures even product distribution.
3. Compress to Seal the Deal
After brushing, it’s time to compress. Use a satin or silk durag to trap moisture, flatten the pattern, and prevent frizz overnight. The combination of hydration + heat retention + consistent compression is what sets the foundation for crown mastery.
4. Bald or Low Cut?
Even without waves, applying post-shower butter helps restore balance. Warm water can strip natural oils. Sealing in moisture with Crème de la Crown™ post-shower helps maintain a healthy scalp, reduce dryness, and leave a clean, matte finish that feels as good as it looks.
5. Make It a Ritual
Skincare routines get all the hype—but your crown is skin too. This post-shower moment isn’t just functional—it’s meditative. Quiet. Focused. A pause before the rest of the day or a wind-down before the night.
→ Elevate your ritual. Apply with purpose. Compress with pride.
