The curly method is a hair care routine for curly hair. But it goes much further, as it also implies a change in the way you care for your hair: it is about prioritizing its health to make it look beautiful.

The first step to start with the method is to have hair free of residues: It is necessary to eliminate from your routine all those products that contain harmful ingredients for the hair and replace them with others that provide a lot of hydration.

Good hydration is the key to healthy hair

Once the mane is reset, we follow a series of guidelines for washing, conditioning, and styling the hair. The creator of the method, stylist Lorraine Massey, compiled them back in 2011 in her book Curly Girl The Handbook. Take note:

1. Our mane is already free of impurities, but we must continue washing the hair with a shampoo that does not contain harmful ingredients

!Psst! Our shampoos are 99% natural

2. Hydrate after washing: a serum, a styling cream, a leave-in conditioner, or leave in. Apply whatever you want, but make sure it hydrates a lot!

3. Now, to curl the curl. Apply a styling product to set and shape the curls.

4. Say goodbye to heat! At least for drying the hair. Use a microfiber towel or a diffuser hairdryer, at a very low temperature and with low power.

5. Always protect your curls, even at night. You can sleep with a satin pillowcase or cap. This will help keep your curls defined for longer.

6. And when it comes to styling, remember: always wet! We can start detangling without damaging it already in the shower, with the help of a conditioner and a comb or our own hands. This will also help you avoid the dreaded frizz.

Don't forget: If you style curly hair when dry, you will remove all the shape from the curls

Follow these guidelines religiously, adapting them to your hair, and with patience, you will start to appreciate the changes in your mane. Does it seem complicated? I will just tell you that it is worth it.

How do I know if a product is suitable for the curly method?

We can accept a product as valid for the curly method when it does not contain silicones, sulfates, and in general any other ingredient that is potentially aggressive for our hair type.

If one of the basic principles of the curly method is hydration, you will have to avoid all products that have sulfates or silicones in their ingredient list. To learn a little more about them and why you should stop using them, click here and read this other entry from our blog.

Other ingredients that are also advisable to avoid are waxes, mineral oils, and other petroleum derivatives or alcohols, which dry out the hair and make it more brittle.

And what can you use?

The cosmetics with oils, extracts, and natural origin ingredients are ideal for washing, conditioning, and styling the hair. They are respectful of your mane and also of the environment. And the nutrients they provide to the hair fiber are pure magic. And just to be clear:

All Rulls products are suitable for the curly method
