You have probably been told your frizzy hair is damaged. It is not. What you actually need is the right routine, the right techniques, and a few good products to bring out the waves and curls that have been there all along. Let me show you how to start.

Every time someone comes to me saying their waves or curls barely make it past day 1, the first thing I ask is: are you using a gel? Most of the time, the answer is no. And the other times, the answer is yes, but…

Before I became a hairdresser, I had no idea how many types of curly cuts existed. It turns out that just like the explosion of curly hair products on the market, some experienced hairdressers also decided to develop their own distinct techniques for cutting textured hair. Which is amazing, honestly. But it also leaves us curlies more confused than ever.

I do not do impulse buying anymore. We have enough stuff in our lives that we don't use, and I am very aware of that. But if I really need to get something, sales days are a great time to do it.

Ever wonder, you have done everything right, bought the right products for your hair, done the 2 to 3 hour wash day, only for your results to still be frizzy?

You need to look into your water.

Starting your wavy curly hair journey can feel incredibly overwhelming, and I say that as someone who has been exactly where you are. Especially in this age of information, where you can find the answer to literally anything at the tip of your fingertips, only to end up feeling more confused than when you started.

If you ask me about air-drying and whether I'm a fan, HELL TO THE NO. Air-drying takes so much time, and it's not always better for your hair. And the worst part? Having your wet hair all over you… it's just BLEEGHHHH…

I LOVE CRUNCHY CURLS. Yes, you heard that right! On every wash day, I pray to the curly gods to bless me with some crunchy curls after diffusing. Why? Because it's a sign that my products are working and that my curls will last longer.

I used to hate my hair. I think almost every wavy or curly girl in this world has gone through the same canon event. They used to hate their hair and they didn't know how to take care of it. And that's what happened to me too. I spent years straightening my hair, thinking it needed to be fixed. I didn't know I had any texture in there. I only knew that my hair was so puffy, frizzy and unmanageable. I did keratin treatments for most of my early life.

Your hair routine is probably what's holding your wavy curly hair back from thriving!

So many people swear that "curl training" has changed their curls for the better. But is that actually true?

I first heard about this term when I started my wavy curly hair journey. My hair was still partly damaged back then because of all the keratin treatments I used to do for yeaarssss. I thought that if I kept "curl training" my hair, I would eventually get ringlets. So I did. it.
