I am currently a Curly Girl.
I brought the book on my kindle but not the DVD, To many Youtube videos. My regiment is to wash my hair twice a month, I use teressentials (sp), the MUD, I love it. Great cleansing, softeness and the best part detangler.
I use Tresemme naturals I add a large dollap and work it through my hair scrunching it up front side to side and back then rinse and do it again this time leaving some in. when I get out the shower I use the same conditioner and go section by section and run it through with my fingers, I make small curly q's and shake it and leave it to dry. then I style it...... At night I just put a bonnet over my head and go to sleep. I don't do anything else.
In the morning.I add warm water to my spray bottle and spray my hair, really good, and scrunch it up. but my hair is loose so shaking works for me and put its back in the same style. I love it. I start all over on the third day. I purchased 8 bottles of Conditioner and I am down to five and I purchased this back in October, but I wasn't consistent because it got cold. So now that its getting warmer I am more and more excited about sticking to it and I get so many compliments about my curls. I say you got curls too but they can't believe that or that I don't use shampoo. Won't believe it. I haven't used shampoo an well over a year.
I like the curly girl method and plan to stick to it. Oh deep conditioning once a month. I do go to the salon, but I am thinking about finding someone that can cut my hair on the curl and not blow it out which I hate. I also hate wearing my hair straight. So thats out for a while. I heard its very expensive so this is probably something I am going to have to learn.
In my opinion, this is very very low maintance. its easy to take care of there isn't much to do. I have gotten rid of a lot of stress regarding my hair. Because if I am heading out and didn't do my hair I can still pull it back into a bun. Wet the front really good add some conditioner and make swirls and curlies and let them dry and pull them apart before I get to where I am going and have a very cute style.
I am desiring to see how this thing is going to work out if I stick to it for six months. I saved tones of money the conditioner is like what four dollars and I get a coupon to buy one get one all the time. Target is always putting them on sale so I buy three or four at a time. I have about 12 but gave some away. My hair likes the natural one with out any added anything and thats cool with me.
OH I brought the products from CG I hate it so much ugh, didn't work for me. But I did see a video and the girl said she only uses her products in the summer so I will wait before I tossed it out. It cost me a pretty penny and I absolutely hate it. it makes me itch. and Tresemme does not.
