Lessons Learned in Curly Hair

I've spent over half my life straightening my wild curly hair. Trying to blow dry it straight, brushing it out. My middle school years I looked like Hermione Granger in the early Harry Potter movies... I had no idea what to do with my hair!! No one in my family had hair like mine, I would have appreciated some advice. In my adult life I begin the search for the perfect product. I was a hair product junkie looking for that perfect product to make my hair look like a Victoria Secret runway model. I have come to realize that there aren't magical products but I have come close to perfecting a regimen that works (When I have plenty of time!)  

1. I wash my hair with a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. (I never have the same shampoo and conditioner for long) I love anything with coconut oil!
2. Dry with Terry Cloth towel or Tshirt.. Never use a regular towel, they make frizz worse!
3. Apply small amounts of Biosilk OilKnot Today Leave InClimate Control Gel, & Recoil curl activator. I use them in that order and a little goes a long way with all of these! 
4. Blow dry hair upside down with a diffuser. I work with small sections at a time. I use the lowest speed setting with the highest heat. 

After I had kids I thought my curl was gone. Now after giving it some TLC it has come back better than ever!
Best of Luck!

P.S~ I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if I got a perm!! 


Great Hair Day :)
