What’s it all about?
Curly hair. It’s a burden many people shoulder, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Do you look at your curls in despair with no idea what to do with them? Did you used to day dream about having ‘The Rachel’? Are your hair straighteners your best friend?
Curly hair is wonderful and unique but it can be challenging. With a few simple changes to your routine you can learn to rock your curls and embrace what your mamma gave you.
What will we cover?
We will be delving into the ‘curly hair bible’ to learn:
- Introduction to the ‘curly girl’ method of caring for your curls – no more sulphates, no more silicones and co-washing as an alternative to shampoo
- How to style your curls for frizz-free definition
- How to dry your curls using an old t-shirt and a technique called ‘plopping’ (nope we’re not making that up)
- What to ask your hairdresser when you venture into the salon
- A look at different products and which ones are good (or bad) for your curls. We invite you to bring in your products from home and will help you work out which ones are good for your curls
- Loads of info of curly hair websites and general tips on having fabulous curls on a daily basis
