1 of my natural hair twins started doing this years ago, so when I went natural I followed right in behind her, lol! What am I referring to? The Curly Girl Method of course! People ask me all of the time why and how is my hair so healthy and I truly believe that its because I follow this method.
The curly girl method (also referred to as "no-poo") is based on the book "Curly Girl" by Lorraine Massey. The nickname "no-poo" alludes to not using a sulfate shampoo, because sulfates' tend to strip the hair of its natural oils. Once you take away the sulfates, your hair can retain its natural moisture. Im not sure about you, but after I would shampoo my hair, it would feel sooooooo dry! It would take a couple of days for me to even like my hair after I shampooed it!
Below I have listed the steps that you can take if you want to follow the Curly Girl Method! Enjoy!
- Clarify with a sulfate shampoo (for the last time) before beginning.
- Replace your brush and wide-toothed comb with your fingers.
- Stop shampooing your hair.
- Wash your scalp with conditioner (conditioner washing).
- Do the final rinse of your hair with cool or cold water.
- Apply products to your hair
These are the steps that I follow, and my hair has never been healthier!
