Quick & Easy Frizz-Fighting Curly Hair Routine - Beginner Friendly
Full video on my channel! 📩 DM/email me GROUP if you want help building a personalized routine ↓ ❌ Curly Propaganda: Products marketed by curl pattern are not helping you. Brands love to push products for waves or curls or coils but curl pattern is one of the least important factors when it comes to choosing the right products. ✅ What matters more is: ✔️ Your texture ✔️ Your porosity ✔️ Your hair’s natural finish: soft or rough Most people do not have just one curl pattern anyway! Waves and loose curls especially fall into that in between space and it can get really confusing. Inside my Group Curl Coaching Membership, I help you figure out what your hair actually needs and how to put it all together into a routine that works for you.

Curl Pattern Propaganda ❌
Why "gel is damaging" is a myth! 🚫 If you’ve had a bad experience with gel… it might not be you - it might just be the wrong gel for you. ❌ Here's the truth: ❗ Gel isn’t damaging. ❗ Not all gels are drying, sticky, or crunchy forever. ✅ The right gel gives your waves and curls hold, reduces frizz, and helps your style last - without daily rewashing. ✅ That crunch? That’s the cast - and it’s a good thing! You can always scrunch it out once your hair is dry for a softer look and feel. How do you feel about using gel on your waves and curls? How many have your tried? Share your favorite! ⬇️ 📲 Want to find out more about YOUR hair plus get personalized product recommendations?
