Chronicles of a Curly Girl II

Chronicles of a Curly Girl
As a curly hair I am always trying to find products and techniques that work for my curls!
Favorite Curly Products of the moment:

• Aveda Be Curly Shampoo; conditioner; and curl enhancer
• Moroccan Oil
  

I love the shampoo and conditioner and the curl enhancer!

I also use a little Morrocan Oil whenever I wash the hair; it helps to speed up the drying process.
I wash my hair every two to three days to avoid product buildups and to further define curls

To wash:

• Brush hair while dry
• Wet hair completely before applying shampoo
• Apply diluted shampoo ( mix some water with your shampoo)
• Do not mix hair all over your head as it will cause tangles
• Brush the shampoo through the hair to make sure its distributed all over
• Rinse, Rinse, Rinse, Rinse, make sure you reinse all the shampoo out! Rinse with a brush to make sure all product are cleaned.

To Condition:

• Once you have rinse the hair completely; apply conditioner
• Apply conditioner from roots to ends, in sections,
• Brush conditioner through the hair to make sure product is distributed
• Let the conditioner sit for about 5-10 minutes
• Brush through
• Rinse the conditioner thoroughly

To Style:

• Once the conditioner is rinsed out.. Use your hands to wring out excess water
• Apply a little Moroccan oil or any Frizz ease product – I also like Chi Silk Infusium
• Bend your head towards a towel- wrap the towels on your head – let the hair sit in the towel for about 15 minutes
• Apply the Aveeda Curl Enhancer while scrunching hair up to define the curls -  before hair is completely dry
• You can either allow hair to air dry or use a diffuser to dry the hair ( when using a diffuser i normally tilt my head down and scrunch the hair)

Days when I do not wash or completely wet the  hair, I have a spray bottle with apple cider Vinegar and distilled water that I spray completely on my hair.

First week:
Hair was worn in a bun for work.
Washed and conditioned with Sexy Hair Soy

Second week: Needed some more curl definition–

Washed and conditioned: Giovanni Tree Tea (sulfate free Poo) and conditioned with Giovanni conditioner.
Leave in conditioner– none, I did not wash off all the Giovanni conditioner- I left it in and use a white t-shirt to get the water out – when hair was about 70% dried, I use a diffuser to speed up the drying, after it dried, I use a little Olive oil to seal in moisture

Daily: Spray with water while head is upside down — use a little diluted non sulfate conditioner
