Things to note about Porosity Tests
Knowing your hair porosity is one of the most important factors when it comes to buying products that will work. Especially when you’re starting the Curly Girl Method. When most people start their curly journey, they frantically try to determine what curly type they have. In a recent post, I spoke about why your curl type doesn’t matter. Hair Porosity does! Think of your hair porosity the same way you would think of skin type: oily, combination, normal and dry. You don’t shop for skincare products based on skin colour or face shape, you shop according to your skin type. The same principle applies when it comes to shopping for your hair care. Shop according to your porosity. There are three types: low, medium (aka healthy) and high porosity.

How to Build a Curly Girl Hair Routine
How to Build a Curly Girl Hair Routine Step 1. Final Wash | Clarify If you’re just starting the curly girl method, you need to do a final wash to get rid of the silicones out of your hair, and any product build up. For this, you’ll need a shampoo that does contain sulfates, but doesn’t contain silicones. My favourite is the Bumble & Bumble Sunday Shampoo.

Rice Water Rinse Routine & Results
My Rice Water for Hair Routine Have you recently discovered this amazing DIY protein, strengthening and repairing treatment called a rice water rinse? Far from a new Tik Tok Trend, rice water rinses have been traditionally used for thousands of years in China and Japan. Rice water is surprisingly beneficial to hair because it contains an impressive array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids – the building blocks of protein. If you’re struggling with hair growth, protein moisture balance, limp, lifeless curls not holding past washday, this post will really help! Here’s my modified rice water rinse routine and my amazing results!

What is the Curly Girl Method?
What is the Curly Girl Method? In May 2017, I started following the Curly Girl Method. And yes, it really is life changing! I’m a member of quite a few curly girl groups on Facebook and one question I see pop up daily, and one we all started with is, “What is the Curly Girl Method?” This post covers the basics. Most of all it’s a journey and a lifestyle rather than a quick fix. “Quick” isn’t a word in the curly girl dictionary.
