PUT. THE STRAIGHTENER. DOWN.

Believe it or not I have also struggled with loving my own curly hair in the past (surprise!)

Truthfully, I had no idea how to style it, what products to use, how it should be cut, how to manage the frizz, nothing.

I was so frustrated and conceded to feeling like my hair texture was “too difficult” to manage and picked up a straightener for the first time.

What is so crazy to me looking back is that managing my natural hair is SO MUCH easier than using heat to damage it daily and force it into an unnatural pattern only for it to frizz back up midday and avoid being able to do simple little things like dance around in the rain.

I’ve spent YEARS learning to crack the code on every curly type out there and started sharing the information as far and wide as I can spread it

Because if I had someone helping me like that way back then, I never would’ve wasted a dime on a straightener.

Does this look glamorous?

For me, it absolutely is.

It IS a lot to manage, clean, organize, sanitize, style, etc behind the scenes, but truly I can’t fathom my life without being a curly stylist.

It feels like I was meant to do what I do and if this is the price I pay to help others feel happy in the hair they have…

I’ll pay it happily.

*This is a repost from summer, so there isn’t a consult video before this* Beginning. Middle. & End for this new client appointment. It turned out so adorable and she was incredibly sweet. Let me know what you think in the comments. #newclients #curlyhaircut #curlscurlscurls #shortcurlyhair #ohiohairstylist

I’m such a sucker for a good before and after, but I would lie if I didn’t say the cut and wash weren’t some of my favorite moments of a curly hair styling session!

These are the main moments that define whether someone’s curly hair will turn out correctly.

If you take the weight off and give your hair some love, of course they’ll look amazing!

But (and I’ll forever scream this from the rooftops) the products you use while washing and styling matter SO 👏 MUCH 👏

So if you want my favorite curly hair products, comment “LOCKS” and I’ll DM you a link!

I want all curly-haired people to feel confident and excited when it comes to styling their hair at home–no matter the curl pattern.

Our society has tricked so many people that they need to look a certain way for so long and flooded stores with garbage hair products and I’m over it. I give real reviews and product recommendations that I actually use on my own clients.

I can’t have every single person in my chair, but I’m grateful to have this platform so I can give you all the tools and curly hair tips you need to DIY the perfect curls at home 🩷
I hope you stick around and tell me all of your burning questions about styling curly hair in the comments so I can talk about it!

The fastest way to see your curl results?

Diffusing.

The fastest way to get discouraged by frizz?

Yes, also diffusing.

Diffusing your hair can feel really overwhelming, but I promise once you figure out exactly how to utilize this tool correctly, your curls will look better than they EVER have.

The key here is to use the tips I mentioned in this video and practice, practice, practice!

Comment “VOLUME” and I’ll send you a link to my fave diffuser!

Curly hair bush? Say less.

Every brush under the sun claims to work wonders and you as a consumer are left wondering which ACTUALLY works and what it does for your hair.

Hopefully this video from a curl hair stylist herself can clear that up for you 🫶Let me know if you have any questions on these brushes for curly hair and I’ll try to answer it for ya!

If you use more than 3 products on your curly hair, you’re doing your hair a disservice.

Do you need product to help define and hold your curls? Yes.

Do you need 5-6 products caked into your hair to make that a reality? NO.

You don’t have to drop hundreds of dollars to have beautiful curls when, in fact, keeping your routine simple is BETTER for your hair too.

To avoid creating excess buildup and weighing down your hair, try using just these 3 products on freshly washed hair…

Gel. Foam. Hairspray.

Boom. That’s it.

I’ll share all the curly hair tips I’ve got! So if you have any questions, let me know!

And tell me if you try using less products and how it’s improved your curly hair 👇

Create long-lasting curls at home ⬇️

Clarifying your scalp and hair is a MUST. It helps remove buildup and impurities to reset your scalp for when you apply products post-wash. You’d prefer to draw a masterpiece on a blank sheet of paper, right? So erase what’s taking up space on the page before starting again.

I try to take my time while styling curls. Yes, I realize not everyone has the time to take an hour or two, but if you take that time, your curls will hold SO much longer. Rushed styling means rushed results. This can mean frizzy, lifeless curls… and I don’t want that for you.

This one may come as a surprise… I never air dry curls. Yes, I have the hood dryer here in the studio, but when you’re at home, diffuse as long as you can to help set your cast. And when it’s good and dry, have fun breaking the cast!

Maintaining low porosity hair should not feel like an uphill battle all the time. All curly hair is so beautiful and can be maintained!

So without further ado, here are some of my favorite low porosity hair maintenance tips so you can love that hair you have:

Clarify regularly. I’m talking every 2-4 weeks here (If you have hard water, DEFINITELY every two weeks!). The goal is NOT stripping the moisture while removing any built up product.

Deep treatments regularly. Replenishing the moisture in your hair is so necessary for this hair type, so utilizing a deep treatment can help your hair remain smoother and softer.

Use water soluble products to prevent buildup. If water can’t penetrate the product already on your strand or the strand itself, your hair won’t get any of the amazing benefits from any products you use when you wash it! Make sure you use products that allow water to get through it for when you wash!

Let the water soak into your hair for 3-5 minutes before cleansing. Your hair NEEDS water. Let it soak up as much as possible before taking it away!

Let me know if any of these tips help you with your hair journey as someone with low porosity hair and if you need some water soluble hair products…

One thing about me…

I’m ABSOLUTELY going to invest in the experience my clients have.

You’re talking about the people who are investing their time and money into me and my services so why on earth wouldn’t I provide them with the most incredible, comfortable, luxurious experience they’ve ever had?

I opened my salon so I could hand-select things like this! So if you’re my client, just know you’ll NEVER have to settle when you hang with me.

Showing a new client the best way to break up a curl cast…no oil necessary. #curlcast #crunchycurls #curlyhaircheck #curltok #ohiohairstylist

Curly haircut ≠ normal haircuts

More often than not, stylists less familiar with curly hair will create shelves of layers instead of blending each layer to the length.

This can look bulky or create a less-than-ideal shape when the hair is in its natural state.

I also want to emphasize how specialized stylists (like curly stylists) try to take the time to walk a client through styling their hair to ensure they can recreate the look at home every day if they’d like.

I hope this page helps those of you who aren’t sure how to style your curly hair at home 🩷

I know refreshing curls is a common question when I walk my clients through the process, so comment “REVIVE” and I’ll DM you a link to products I love for curl refreshing!

I personally think every person with curls on their head deserves to feel good and beautiful with their natural hair doing its thing.

If I’m being honest, I wish I could have each and every one of you in my chair so I can customize your experience and tell you exactly how to make you feel your best with the beautiful hair you have.

I hope this page helps feels somewhat close to having that experience ♥️

So as your local curly hairstylist I’ll leave you with this:

Stop fighting your curls. Embrace them and allow them to make your uniqueness feel like YOU.

As a curly hair stylist, if I could give you one simple piece of advice, it would be this:

Before drying your hair, make sure your curls aren’t frizzy BEFORE drying. Because if there is any sort of frizz prior to drying, when it does finally dry it’ll amplify that frizz three-fold.

Okay, that’s my curly hair tip of the day. Have a great one!

Here is my final product ranking for January. Let’s see how I Create Volume performed. #wavyhair #producttrial #curlproducts #longwavyhair

I love reshaping my curly hair clients, but I need to address something…

You’re, in fact, seeing this correctly, I am NOT using a comb in my client’s hair.

And you won’t see me doing that in really any of my other videos either.

I don’t like using a comb on curly hair because it not only makes the hair too tight so too much hair will come off after taking scissors to it, but it also frizzes up the curls so I can’t find what those natural patterns will do and where they’ll sit after cutting.

9 times out of 10 a comb will DISRUPT a curly hair cut.

Although I use combs every now and then, I plan to leave them out of the majority of curly hair cuts.
