What is the ‘Curly girl’ method?
This method consists of do not use sulfate shampoos that remove all natural sebum from the hair leather. Hair products that contain parabens, silicones or denat alcohol are not used either, since they create residues in the hair that are only removed with other products with sulfates. It is important to clean and count the tips before starting the method.
It is also essential not to use conventional brushes, you can comb with your fingers or with a brush in a way with large and separated bristles. Post-wash products such as conditioners are applied to wet hair and then we can use a gel or a fixing product to help define the curls. Of course, it takes a minimum of three weeks to see results.
