Damage Recovery Checklist

If you’re new to wearing your hair curly and it feels frizzy, inconsistent, or damaged, this checklist walks you through exactly what to stop and what to start doing first.

Instead of guessing or changing everything at once, this guide gives you a clear damage recovery roadmap — so you can support your hair while it grows out and finally break the damage cycle.

This checklist helps you:

• Stop habits that delay curl progress
• Support heat damage and curl memory loss
• Reduce breakage on wash day
• Protect fragile ends
• Stay consistent during the awkward in-between phase

This is not a complicated routine.
It’s a focused reset.

PDF includes:

• A clear Stop vs Start framework

• Sections for commitment, pre-wash, treatments, clarifying, heat protection, and in-between days

• Simple, actionable reminders

• A printable one-page layout for easy reference
