    As any woman can tell you, styling your hair is one of the more important aspects of getting ready for the day ahead. Whether you style your hair with complexity or simplicity, it can oftentimes make or break your entire aesthetic if not done correctly and with the proper planning. With the number of hairstyles that are currently available for us to try out, however, it can sometimes be difficult to decide which style to go for during our day-to-day activities.

    One of the most common hair types that you will find in the world has to be curly hair. Depending on whom you talk with such a hair type, you may hear countless people advocate for their curls, while countless others go on to condemn it. However, there are methods that you can use in order to get more out of your curls, transforming them into something that you will be proud to flaunt on practically any occasion. One of the most popular of these methods is known as the curlygirl method.

    This is a method that is aimed to help women of all hair types to get the most out of their natural hair, which is achieved using a specific set of techniques and products, some of which may differ slightly depending on your type of hair. Although, it should be mentioned that by using the curlygirl method on naturally straight hair, your hair will not become curlier, but will rather help you achieve healthier, more defined and fuller hair, allowing you to attain the full potential of what your hair has to offer.

    This article is here to help you try the curlygirl method out for yourself in a manner that is as simple as possible, even for those who are only trying this method out for the first time. The steps that you are advised to follow can be found below:

    • Step 1

    To start this method off the right way, and to give yourself a firm foundation that you can move forward, it is advised that your reset your hair with one final wash. You should do so using a sulphate-based shampoo, as this will help to remove excess silicone and wax that has built up from your strands.

    • Step 2

    Following step 1, you should wash your hair with a co-wash shampoo, or a shampoo that is free from sulphate while massaging your scalp for roughly 60 seconds before rinsing.

    • Step 3

    You should then apply and run enough conditioner through your hair to reach a “slimy” consistency. From here, you should work your fingers or a comb through your hair in order to remove any knots and tangles, before rinsing out most of your conditioner.

    • Step 4

    From here, you should apply more gel to your hair than may feel normal. Your hair should still be dripping wet from root to tip.

    • Step 5

    You must then dry your hair by scrunching it up with a cotton shirt before air drying. Once fully dry, you must then scrunch it all up with your hands to remove the now crunchy gel coating.

    Once all the prior steps have been completed, you will have applied the curlygirl method to your hair. However, to maintain your luscious curls over time, it is simply advised that you repeat steps 2 – 5 each time you wet your hair.
