Before you start, make sure you do a ‘final wash’ – and repeat this every three weeks or so.

I’ll go through the method below, but once you’ve started, all you need is a CG friendly conditioner, a gel or mousse, and an old t-shirt or microfibre towel.

Don’t buy ALL of the products to start with.

Top tips for starting the Curly Girl Method Let’s start with the top things I’ve learned (so you don’t have to do the work of finding them out for yourself).ĭays when the Curly Girl Method didn’t *really* work for me.

But it’s also been a journey full of frustration and confusion. I’m not really sure what made me want to try Curly Girl, but I’d read about it here and there, and figured I’d give it a try.Īnd in just eight weeks I’ve been amazed at how curly my hair can actually get! It’s so exciting to see the transformation. Every time I tried to curl my hair with a heat tool, the curls would drop out almost immediately, leading me to believe that my hair was, in fact, straight. With my trusty set of GHDs, I’ve been straightening my hair for well over a decade – probably closer to two, now, really. Instead of trying to curl it, I did what everyone else was doing: I straightened it. When I was younger, I’d get ringlets at the back of my head, but the front would be almost dead straight. I’ve always had curly hair, although I’ve never seemed to be able to get a consistent curl. Why I decided to start the Curly Girl Method

Not using any products that contain silicones, sulphates, waxes or drying alcohols.

Not using heat to style your hair (no straighteners, curlers etc – although diffusing is allowed).

Not brushing your hair (don’t panic! It’s not as terrible as it sounds).

Not washing your hair with shampoo (I’ll talk about what to use instead below).

The method is designed to bring out, and enhance, your hair’s natural curl pattern – which many people don’t even realise they have!

The Curly Girl Method (CGM) was created by hairstylist Lorraine Massey, who wrote the Curly Girl Handbook. Just so you know: this post contains affiliate links. There really is no one-size-fits-all approach to this. So some of my advice won’t necessarily work for you if you have tight, corkscrew curls, but as you’ll learn here, everyone’s hair is different, anyway. Secondly, I’m technically a Wavy Girl, not a Curly Girl. I have a long way to go, but I’ve learned a lot already, and as so many people have been asking me about it after I’ve posted pictures on my Instagram stories, I figured I’d share some details with you. I’m still experimenting, and my hair isn’t (yet) a glorious mane of consistent ringlets. Firstly, I’m only about nine weeks into my own CG journey (I began on March 12), so I’m no expert.
