<h2>FAQ</h2>
<p><strong>What is the Curly Girl Method?</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>What do I need to start?</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>Is it good for colour-treated hair?</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong>How long until I see results?</strong> 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.</p>
