Starting your curly journey...

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 first recommendation is to get hold of a copy of ‘Curly Girl - The Handbook’ This book was written by Lorraine Massey, founder of the curly girl method. It simplifies the process, provides masses of information and even some recipes for products you can make at home. The book is available at Amazon and other book shops as well as a Kindle version.

My second recommendation is to have patience. Every curl journey is as unique as your curls. Transitioning to curl health from drying products and product build up varies in time. For some people this transition can take several months, for others is a few weeks. Every one is different and just because your journey seems to be taking longer than some others does not mean it’s not working. Taking photographs of your curls can help you see the smallest of changes.

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. 🌀❤️
