The Curly Girl Method
The Curly Girl Method is a popular approach to looking after curls, waves, and coils. This method involves ditching sulphates, silicones, and drying ingredients, focusing instead on moisture-rich products and gentle techniques. At Strands Hairdressing, you’ll get advice on whether the Curly Girl Method is right for your hair and which routines or adjustments could deliver optimal results.
Specialists can explain how to cleanse with co-washes, detangle gently, and dry your hair with minimal frizz. You’ll be shown the difference between curl creams, gels, mousses, and leave-in conditioners, plus how to ‘scrunch out the crunch’ for bouncier, natural results.
Advice also includes sleeping on silk or satin, using microfibre towels, and diffusing with minimal heat to avoid damage. If you’re unsure which curly hair trends are worth trying, Strands Hairdressing stays updated with the latest treatments, including protein treatments and scalp care for curl health.
