My curly hair journey
I have been fighting against my curly hair my entire life! I never learned how to work with my curls to make them wearable and not horribly frizzy. I’ve spent so many hours straightening and then curling with a curling iron the get that “perfect” wave. My hair has been feeling very damaged and that is really what prompted me tor try to embrace my natural curl!
I am still working on finding the perfect routine for me, and everyone will be different depending on texture and weather. Today I am sharing with you a few tips and products that I have been loving on my curl hair days.
Monat Smoothing Shampoo: great for helping to fight frizz. I only wash my scalp, not the ends.
Olaplex conditioner: This is pricey but worth it!
Olaplex No.6 bond smoother: I apply this to the ends while my hair is wet.
Bumble and Bumble Surf infusion: I love a beachy look so i spray this in all over except for the roots.
R + Co trophy shine spray: I love the shine that this adds and it also smells like coconuts. I spray this all over!
Tip: Do not dry your hair with a towel, Use a t shirt and squeeze out excess moisture to avoid frizz.
I personally do not use a diffuser, I prefer to let it air dry and scrunch with my hands. If you are short on time I highly recommend getting one for your blow dryer.
Sometimes when my hair dries and I have some straight pieces I will use this wand and just wrap a few pieces on the top.
Feel free to ask any questions, good luck with you natural hair journey!
