The Ultimate Wavy Styling Guide

Conditioners

All conditioners do the same thing, right? 🤷‍♀️

WRONG!! For a long time, we were led to believe all conditioners do the same job, mostly to detangle and make hair soft and shiny, so why give it another thought? However, what conditioner you use plays a big part in how your wash day turns out and how long it lasts!

There are some basic telltale signs that your hair will give you if it's not to its liking, like the ones below.

📌Curly Tip: Conditioner is crucial for all hair types, but not every conditioner will work for your hair type

Cleansers

You've probably heard me say this before, but I'm going to say it again.. cleansing your hair correctly and with the right cleanser for your hair type is crucial! If it's not done correctly, everything you do after this kind of doesn't matter. 

So let's break down each of the cleansers so you can ensure you're reaching for the right one!

📌Curly Tip: Always double cleanse with your cleanser of choice and remove thoroughly; when you think you've got it all out, RINSE AGAIN!

Multiple Curl Patterns

If you have multiple curl patterns in your hair, I hear you! 🙋‍♀️

Most people with textured hair have more than one type of pattern on their heads and I'm one of them!

Your curl pattern can be identified by the shape of the strands of hair, whether they kink, curve, or wind around themselves into spirals—but that doesn't mean they're all the same.

Ingredients

Do the ingredients in products matter? 

Each formulation of the product you're using should not only fulfill its primary role but should go some way to contributing to your hair health. In the same way, if you use products containing ingredients that are harmful to your hair, such as sulfates and drying alcohols, you will see a negative effect on your curls & waves.

Cream v Gel

The perfect duo 🧡

Before starting my curly journey, I was a one-and-done kind of girl when it came to styling, and the thought of using cream on my hair didn't seem right! 

How wrong can one be?! 🤦‍♀️

There are many different styling products, but for most, cream and gel are essential for the end styling result and hair health.

Haven't got time to wash before your next event? No problem!

Starting Out

If you're new to the curly world, hi! 👋

The first month of switching up your hair care routine can often be one of the most challenging times on your healthy hair journey. You are going to have questions and come across some hurdles. But that's okay! It's all part of your journey and experimenting with what works for you and your curls.

Recognizing this stage is important as so many give up during the first month when they don't see instant results. My recent blog post addresses some of the most common issues people can experience when starting out on their journey.

Protein

Protein: does your hair love it or hate it?

Protein helps balance the moisture in your hair, keeping it healthy; as curlies, we all know the struggle with the fine line of balanced curls. The struggle is real!

However, as someone with hair that doesn't tolerate it well, I found a product that mimics all the benefits of protein without sending my curls into total freak-out and I want to share it with you!

Fragrance Free

Choosing between giving your curls the very best in haircare or making sure your sensitive skin is taken care of shouldn’t be a choice you have to make.

Did you know Jessicurl was one of the first curly hair brands to offer No Fragrance Added products back in 2002! That's right over 20 years ago! Jess had always been ahead of the game! 🙌

Stylers

After years of trial and error with many products, I realized that having products that work wonders independently and are fully customizable is a GAME CHANGER! This lets you personalize and tweak your styling routine, adapting to your curl needs without overloading your hair.

📌Curly Tip: Mix & match consistencies when it comes to your stylers to get the desired outcome and to find the perfect balance. 🙌

3 Tips for Fine Curls & Waves

Fine-haired Curlies and Wavies are often forgotten or misled about how to care for their hair, especially when it comes to traditional methods and the 'Curly Girl Method'.

Some products are too heavy or unnecessary for a finer hair type routine; once you understand what it does and don't need, your hair will flourish!

Here are 3 tips to get you started 🏁

Split Ends & Length Retention

Growing curls is difficult enough; throw Split ends into the mix, and your dreams of long curls seem further from reality. Spilt ends cause breakage and frizz, making it harder to get your hair to your desired length.

Dryness, harsh ingredients, aggressive detangling, and excessive heat can contribute to split ends and retaining length.

Here are three products you can add to your routine to help prevent this.
