Curly hair can be tricky. As a teenager my curls were bouncy and happy with little to no effort. As I got older, my curls were subjected to heat too often with no zero heat protectant. They lost their bounce and shine.
I hated my curls. They were frizzy and goofy and never held their shape. I would use globs and globs of garner mousse and John Frieda anti frizz oil. Nothing worked.
After switching to my vegan products, I saw an immediate difference. My problem was that I had to relearn how to style my curls and care for them.
Over the last three years I’ve perfected my routine and helped others do the same.
Your first step is testing the porosity of your hair. Knowing if your hair is low, medium or high porosity will determine if you need products with protein or not. The products I use are not one size fits all. One change or tweak can completely make or break your outcome.
Once I found the perfect combo of products for my hair type, I had to perfect how I would apply my products. My hair LOVES leave in conditioner, curl cream and gel. For video tutorials click here and here
Wanna know a secret?….. I never brush my hair…hahahaha Okay okay so I do brush my hair but only in the shower and only with a wide tooth comb. please please please don’t brush dry curls, unless you’re ready to wash them right after. It will just be a ball of frizz.
When applying product, use a scrunching up motion. You can also use prayer hands over your curls.
Always apply products to wet hair. This will help prevent frizz.
Apply your prooducts with your head upside down.
Twist curls in the shower to train and encourage your curl pattern.
Once you apply your products DO NOT TOUCH them until the are dry.
