Since there’s already a literal bookdevoted to answering the question of “how do you do the Curly Girl Method?” along with Facebook groups and, my favorite, Reddit communities-I’m going to keep this easy to understand. Which is why it's important to keep an open mind, remember that nobody is forcing you to stick with CGM if it's too stressful, and that you can modify (or stop!) CGM at any point to make it easier (more on that later). Starting the Curly Girl Method can feel overwhelming, because it initially looks like a bunch of impossible, life-changing rules. So it doesn’t mean you can’t experiment if you have straighter or coilier hair, but just know your mileage may vary. If you’re not sure who the Curly Girl Method is best for, or if it work for your hair, I will say that type-3 curls tend to see the best results from CGM (again, make sure you know your hair type it’ll make the jargon you read so much easier), though tons of people with 2c and 4a hair have also had amazing success. Will the Curly Girl Method work on my hair? Basically, figuring out the best products and application methods for your exact hair type-you can find out your hair type here- you’ll be able to amp up your natural wave, curl, or coil pattern while reducing dryness, breakage, and frizz (if you're not a fan). (FYI, most of the info you’ll find online, including here, tends to be variations of Massey’s original CGM method, modified over the years to include a wider range of wavies, curlies, and coilies.)Īlthough the specifics can differ (i.e., someone with super-tight coils may not follow the same protocol as someone with fine waves), the general idea behind the Curly Girl Method is the same: The correct routine can create the best curls. In a nutshell, the Curly Girl Method-originally created by hairstylist and curl expert Lorraine Massey, who wrote Curly Girl: The Handbook -is a guide to getting excellent hair using (and avoiding!) specific products and styling techniques.

#TRESEMME FLAWLESS CURLS HOW TO#
Which is why I made it my mission to create the easiest, low-stress, step-by-step guide for a mix of curly hair types trying to do CGM.īelow is e-v-e-r-y-thing you need to know about the Curly Girl Method rules, including the best CGM curl products (and how to apply them), how to brush and detangle your curls, how to wash (and dry) your hair, and more. For me, every article and tutorial seemed to contradict themselves, the steps were too confusing, and I was always left with a zillion questions (what’s the simplest way for beginners? How long does CGM take to work? How often do I do it?!). Truth time: The Curly Girl Method (CGM) is the best thing I’ve ever done for my curly hair-and also the most confusing, frustrating, overwhelming thing I’ve ever done for my freakin’ sanity.
