Oh, how we enjoy strutting down the street with our freshly washed and newly styled locks, only to receive compliments left, right and centre. People can’t help but to comment on our hair’s natural bounce and our curls’ beautiful definition.
And while we’re more than happy to soak up the flattering commentary, smile brightly and act as if it all just happens naturally, in our minds we’re thinking, “if only you knew.”
How much time and commitment it takes to get our curls to look, feel and remain healthy and beautiful. How many tries and fails it takes to find the right products; and how many products it takes to maintain different aspects of our natural haircare.
Because it’s not just about washing our hair with the right shampoo, and moisturizing it with the right conditioner. It’s not just about finding a brush, a comb or a finger-combing technique our curls are comfortable with.
For a flawless look and an eye-catching style, it’s also about considering our roots, ends and edges. Ways to get a lift if our hair tends to lay flat around the roots; products that keep our ends from splitting and give them a nice shine.
And, of course, a quality gel that will help us keep those edges laid without flakiness or itchiness, one that is practically invisible to the eye. Those who have never worked with curls have never had to worry about taming those edges, but trust us – it’s a thing.
