Have The Best Curly Hair
I’ve lived my whole life with curls! Of course there have been times when I’ve hated them but as I got older I chose to embrace the curls! I realized they are part of me and I should be proud of how unique curls are! I know a lot of people (including my mom) who have always fought their natural curl with blowing it out or using chemical straitening methods. I think most people who have curls hate the frizz! I can honesly say, that after 30 years of trying different products, I have found a combo I currently love. I think trial and error, mixing different brands and using different styling techniques is key to finding what works best for you. Several years ago, I read the Curly Girl Method book and that was the real beginning of finding my style method. When I was a teen, there were not as many options as there are now. I mean we basically had gel and mousse and hair spray, nothing catering to curls. Let’s just say, taming that frizz in high school and college was near impossible.
I am so happy there are such great and natural products on the market now! No more slathering my curls with silicon based smoothers to coat and suffocate my hair. Its a shocker my hair survived those days in tact.
Beautiful curls begin with a good wash day. I usually wash with a clarifying shampoo and condition with a deep conditioner and while thats on, give my scalp a good scrub with my rubber scrubber. Once in awhile, I’ll sleep with oils in my hair to condition and moisturize my dry locks.
Now comes the fun part of styling! I wring my hair out in the shower but do not towel dry. While my hair is super wet, I put 1-2 quarter sized amounts of curl cream and comb it through and let it sit a couple minutes. I then put small dime size amounts of Curlsmith In Shower Gel on small sections of my hair, smoothing between my palms. I then take that same section and brush with my curl brush to form nice clumps. I go through my whole head with this method. I then apply mouse in my palms and lightly coat my hair all over. I then lightly scrunch and use my Dyson Hair Dryer with Diffuser and move in small sections cupping my ends with the diffuser and pushing up towards scalp. Sometimes I let my hair air dry halfway and then diffuse. Its up to you to see which method you prefer! Once it’s dry, I add a couple tiny pea size amounts of styling cream and a few pumps of oil to my ends and a light coat all over. It adds a nice shine, tames frizz and moisturizes. Sometimes I use specific hair oil and I often use my Young Living orange essential oil. Not only does it leave my hair smelling amazing, but leaves the perfect amount of shine!
I hope all my years of trying products helps you find ones you love too! All my links are below. Cheers to happy, healthy and frizz free curls!
