Those of you who have visited my salon will know exactly what I’m on about.... if you haven’t visited yet you’ll probably be wondering ‘what an earth does that have to do my with curls?’

This is a term I use to explain how to squish your conditioner into your hair..that’s how it realates to your curls.

The photograph below shows a hair magnified. The outer layer of the hair strand is called the cuticle and it looks a little like a pine cone.

When we wash our hair the cuticle opens. This allows the water and product to enter leading to nourished and hydrated curls.

We need to close the cuticle back down to leave our hair looking shiny and keep it protected.

When you are finishing off the conditioning part of your curl routine take sections of your hair and squeeze the conditioner in, working your hands down the length of your hair from root to tip, just like you are milking a cow.

This closes the cuticle, helps to keep the water in to hydrate your curls and leave them smoother and glossier.

At the beginning of the year I was asked to answer 4 questions for Bouclème....they then included me in their #stylistsessions 🌀❤️

Starting your curly journey is an exciting time...it can also be daunting due to the vast amount of information on the internet. Facebook groups are a goldmine of product recommendations and tips to enhance your curls but, it can be a little overwhelming with lots of jargon and acronyms.

My final recommendation is to avoid comparing your curls to those who have already transitioned and established their routine. They have been where you are, and you will be where they are however, Curl health does not happen overnight. Comparing your curls during the early stages of your curl journey can often lead to disappointment. Your curls are unique to you, love the curls you have. 🌀❤️

I love these spray bottles, they produce such a fine mist that your curls are not disrupted. Even coverage of your hair too. Easy to mix in some conditioner or curl cream. Try adding a little gel and using it like a hairspray.

The most inportant element in your daily curl routine is Water.
These fantastic curls below were craving moisture.

Be sure to drink plenty of water every day to stay hydrated. Add your conditioner to soaking wet hair and really push that water into your hair, squeezing it and holding it. It should sound squelchy and feel like wet seaweed.

Beautiful .
