Type 3 (curls): defined ringlets and corkscrews that thrive on moisture, definition gels and protein. Try Olaplex No. 10 or Ouidad gels. Type 4 (coils): tight, springy curls that need rich hydration, gentle detangling and protective styling. Try the Davines Authentic Replenishing Butter and Gildie Curly Girl Brush.

The Curly Girl Method in a nutshell

The Curly Girl Method keeps curls hydrated, defined and frizz-free. The basics: avoid sulphates, silicones and drying alcohols; cleanse gently or co-wash; condition deeply and finger-detangle while wet; apply leave-in and gel to soaking-wet hair; then plop, scrunch and air-dry or diffuse on low heat.

FAQ

What is the Curly Girl Method? A routine that keeps natural curls healthy, hydrated and defined by avoiding sulphates, silicones and drying alcohols, and emphasising moisture, gentle handling and consistent styling.

What do I need to start? At minimum a sulphate-free shampoo, a rich silicone-free conditioner, a leave-in, a styling gel or mousse, and a microfibre towel or t-shirt for plopping.

Is it good for colour-treated hair? Yes, it actively supports colour longevity because it avoids sulphates that strip pigment. If you have had a keratin or smoothing treatment, ask us before using strong clarifying shampoos.

How long until I see results? Most clients see better definition and less frizz within two to four weeks. Deeper hydration and repair takes three to six months of consistent use.
