No, don’t grab your bath towel to get rid of excess water in the hair, that is officially a no-go when it comes to the Curly Girl Method. “Instead, use a microfiber towel or t-shirt to gently squeeze excess water and product from the hair, then allow it to air dry,” Williams says. Once the hair is completely dry, gently scrunch your hair again to break the gel cast. And say hello to gorgeous, picture-perfect curls. These Tifara Beauty Flexible Curling Rods are perfect for anyone who doesn’t like to use a curling iron on their hair. Put them on when your hair is slightly damp; once completely dried, you’ll have natural, bouncy waves or curls, depending on the size you use and how tightly you roll them, all without heat. You can even sleep with them in. (Achieving curls doesn’t get much easier than that!) Hot rollers can be removed once they have cooled completely - which usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. This is enough time for the heat to penetrate all of the hair wrapped around each individual roller, as well as for the hair to cool into a curled shape.

Ultimately, your hair has different needs to someone else’s – it’s affected by everything from chemical processes to age. While younger curls may require minimal extra care but maximum freedom to experiment, hair can get more challenging over time – something the original Curly Girl Handbook perhaps overlooked in 2001.

Once the hair is in place, let go of the hair section and close the handle to allow the hair to be automatically taken into the curl chamber Co-washes: Sometimes referred to as cleansing conditioners, these 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner formulas with higher ratios of conditioning ingredients are great for refreshing curls when your hair doesn't really feel dirty. They're hydrating and add great slip for detangling. Plus, they're easy when you're short on time.It might seem a bit of an obvious question, but between tongs, rollers, straighteners etc. sometimes all the hair styling lingo can be a bit confusing. Part your hair into two sections on either side of your head, then gently place the headband around the top of your head. Slide it down so that it rests just above your ears. While a curling wand has no clip, curling irons and tongs do. A curling iron is actually the same thing as a curling tong, with the former title preferred in the US and the latter in the UK. Compared to a curling wand, the clip on curling irons and tongs allows for a tad more heat to pass through your hair so, in theory, irons and tongs should produce more tight and/or structured curls.

Traditional bath towels: Gone are the days when you use the same towel for your hair and your body. The Curl Girl Method says towel-drying the hair can not only cause breakage and snapping of the strands, but it also creates frizz. If you don’t prefer air drying, reach for an old t-shirt or a microfiber towel that will sop up water without roughing the hair cuticle.It’s the stiff, hardened coating that stronger-hold gels often leave behind on curly hair. As your hair dries, the gel forms a crunchy shell around each of your curls/waves, defining it while protecting it from humidity and frizz. In junior high, we called this a ~lewk~. In 2020, we call this step one. Step two is to “ scrunch out the crunch” or “ break the cast." Position the styler where you want the curl to start. The hair section must be held straight, and placed neatly through the centre of the styler Shape: consider what kind of curls you want - tight ones, loose waves, funky waves, whatever you want, you need to make sure the barrel of your wand will create your go-to look. Routinely co-washing or skipping cleanser completely doesn’t have great results for most,” says Claire. “Instead, choose a sulphate-free shampoo or a scalp scrub to keep your scalp clean.” Hair follicles age. You won’t have the same quality of hair in your 50s, 60s and 70s+ as in your teens, 20s or 30s,” says Anabel. “Texture changes, as does the way it behaves. Many grapple with unmanageability, a different wave or curl pattern and products that used to work, no longer have the same impact. Curly or coiled textures are the most fragile, therefore more susceptible to breakage.
