Product Information

While the guidelines in Massey’s book are mainly based on curly, wavy and afro hair textures, you can personalize the Curly Girl Method to fit the needs of your own head of hair. Smooth conditioner over hair in sections, until all hair has been coated with conditioner. Let the water distribute the product evenly. Hi, thank you for this list. I tried curly girl method a couple of years ago on my long dyed very damaged hair and gave up because it was so time consuming.

The first step to starting the Curly Girl Method is knowing what NOT to do. There are many common, everyday hair care practices that many of us have been using all of our lives that are actually damaging to curly hair. Here are 7 things to avoid when following the CG Method. Don’t use Silicones: Like sulfates, silicones are a no-go here, too. And don’t be surprised that silicones are in a ton of products, but they build-up on the hair and, since most of them can only be removed from the hair by sulfates, skip the silicones (and sulfates) altogether. The CGM has also been adapted by those with wavy hair to suit this hair type - known as the wavy girl method. The rules for this method include:

Plopping to Get Your Curls Popping

As good as it can feel, don’t use your fingernails when your massaging in your chosen cleanser – apply gentle pressure with your fingertips instead. Encouraging those with curly, textured hair to adopt a regimen that aims to minimise damage – especially for a hair type that’s been long misunderstood and therefore mistreated – is a great start,” concludes Dionne.

Once the conditioner is applied thoroughly, it’s time to get rid of knots and tangles, a curly girl’s second arch nemesis after humidity, of course. The original Curly Girl Method says steer clear of combs and brushes and after my experience, I’d advise that, too. But many iterations online have updated the method to be more user-friendly and say wide-tooth combs are allowed. But if you want to go with the OG Curly Girl Method, use your fingers. Once your curls are tangle-free, rinse 90% of the conditioner out of your hair. The tiny bit of conditioner left in acts as a primer to your styling products. Trust me, it’s a pro secret that I do every single time. 4. Style

I also don’t like refreshing btw. I have switched from a wet refresh (it gave me horrible frizz) to a dry refresh. So now I simply just take a big dollop of mousse and squeeze my curls. It takes about 10 minutes and the curls feel a bit hard and then I scrunch the curls out 🙂 Whether you’re wanting to breathe new life into your afro or get the best out of your curly hair, the Curly Girl Method UK can be applied to pretty much all hair types. If your scalp is greasy, I would recommend that you do an ACV rinse or a Lemonaid rinse. Buy some apple cider vinegar and mix a few spoonfuls with water. Then use this mixture on wet hair before your co-wash and condition. Vigorously massage it in to your scalp and use a scalp brush if you have one. If you don’t have one…buy one! It made such a difference to my scalp. it’s easy to get build-up if you’re not using shampoo.
