a new curly cocktail

i'm often asked for my curly methods. 

curly hair is hard. 

it changes based everything from humidity to lunar cycles, i swear!

when i was in vegas, i had to find a new treatment program because the air was so dry.. i'm now obsessed and these products have now been nyc approved. 

ok, so my hair not like most curlies- 

they tend to be more dry and coarse. 

my hair is fine, thin & soft (which is why it's easy to straighten)

thus making MOST curly products too heavy...

there are all sorts of gadgets, brushes, etc.... but i think it's a waste of money. 

but here's the elixer i'm using now: 

ouidad curl quencher shampoo

ouidad moisture lock leave in conditioner

i hadn't before thought that i needed a specific curly shampoo/conditioner but kristan serafino gave these to me to see if they work and i'm in love.  these make a huge difference in the frizz factor....

just leave the conditioner in.
then add :

devaCurl anGel 

while it's wet.

i then turn my head over and spray with hairspray-  not something too hard holding.

i blast my bangs with a blowdryer and roller brush for about 5 seconds just to clump the front curls then air dry......

if i'm in a huge rush, i may use a diffuser, though it tends to frizz me.

if a few curls don't get with the program and i'm feeling ambitions, i may curl a few small pieces with a tiny curling iron but the pic above is just air dried.

i think a big part of the success of your curls is a good healthy cut.
i have a rounded- layer cut.
it's slightly longer in front than in the back.

hope this works for you, curlies.

we coil haired girls need to stick together!
