Five Curly Girl Tips to Get the Curls you Dream of!
There has been so many times that I have gotten Curl envy! I never understood why I could never get those full voluptuous curls that I would see other women have! Until I started to really pay attention and learn. It has now been over a year of no straightening my hair and testing out MANY different curly hair products. Having curly hair is really like having a part time job that takes your money instead of making you money lol! These products can get a bit pricey. Recently, I have been LOVING the way my hair has turned out so I thought I'd share a couple of things that have worked for me!
Trims
I got my first official Curly specific haircut with the Curl Dr. Shai Amiel ! He was amazing. However, that price was a bit much for a mama like me! So I found Michele in Santa Monica at the Ouidad flagship store! It really has made a difference in maintaining my curl pattern! Plus each time I go I learn something new on how to upkeep the out of the salon style!
Book an appointment with Michele! She won't disappoint! 310.393.3542

Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner
Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Oil & Curl Quencher Moisturizing Conditioner
These are my go to ! When I do wash my hair these maintain the moisture and softness! I also deep condition once a week and do a protein treatment once a month...Ill save those details for another time!
You can purchase these two over at Ouidad.com or Ulta.com *I like using ultra because you can accrue points, get coupons, and sometimes they have free stuff when you order!
Leave-In
Curl Quencher Hydrafusion Intense Curl cream
I use this every time I wash my hair no matter what I do to it next. Whether it is style it with more product or just by itself. This is always the base to ensure I am keeping my hair moisturized! Moisture! Moisture! Moisture! It’s Key to this curly thing!

The 3 Complimentary Style Products
After the leave in I put the Climate Control Humidity gel, then diffuse *which is the next tip *, Once dried I use the Clear Control pomade and finish with the Shine Glaze! My curls never looked so good! The Gel gives it hold, the pomade breaks up the “crunchy” look from the gel, and last the shine sets it off!
Diffuser
I am so mad that for 25 years of my life I never knew about the diffuser! This thing is a curly girl MUST HAVE! I bought this 10 dollar Conair attachment and it works wonders! No more leaving the house looking like a wet poodle! This is the KEY to getting that out of the salon style!
I hope these tips and styling products help you achieve Fabulous curls! It really is an art and takes time figuring out how and what works for your hair!! If you have great tips that helped your curls please share! I would love to learn more!
