I’ve been sharing my progress on Instagram, and people on there have expressed interest in what I’m doing and what I’m using, so I’m spilling it all on this here blog post. It’s been 3 months of researching and experimenting with the Curly Girl method and variations of it, and I’m finally coming up for air. And that’s when I fell deep into the curly girl method rabbit hole. I just haven’t been treating my hair like curly hair.
While scrolling Facebook this summer, I saw an ad for a curly hair product that made me realize – HOLD UP. Here’s an example of just how bad my hair can be this is after a couple of weeks in mineral hot springs in Costa Rica: I mean, if I simply wash it and let it air dry, I absolutely do not have Good Curly Hair. I always just assumed that I didn’t have Good Curly Hair. I have never had anything against curly hair, in fact I have always loved it on other people.
I was hopeful that the perfect product or hair cut existed to give me wash and wear hair. Up until that point, I ran the gamut of blowdrying / burning it straight (and of course then adding “beachy” waves with more heat), getting keratin treatments, braiding / twisting it while it dried to keep it from turning into a total frizzy mess, and trying every shampoo and conditioner on the planet.

It wasn’t until this year – I am 42 – that I started to learn how to treat my hair like curly hair. (My mom was thrilled, as you can probably imagine.) It wasn’t until years -YEARS! – later that I realized the perm was long gone and my hair, at some point, had become naturally curly. In third grade, my dad let me get a perm at JC Penny. You know how it goes people with straight hair want curly hair and vice versa. As a tiny human, I had fine, stick straight hair. This year, I decided to finally start embracing my curly hair.
I have been fighting with my hair most of my life.
