Hi Solrevival!
She would use a very small amount of the Hair Nourishing Cream or the Nourish & Shine, all over. When I wore my hair pressed I didn't put anything else on my hair so it wouldn't be weighed down; at the most a little oil sheen and a little Nourish & Shine on the edges to smooth them. My hair was very light (airy with a lot of movement, not plastered and oily) and I have very thick, multi textured hair (wavy, curly, straight, etc.) and at the time it was below the shoulders. My stylist would would blow my hair straight and then use a bevel iron to smooth it out and use a straightening comb to get close to the edges. But don't use to much! Overall the products are good and not heavy, I just liked movement in my hair.
