Indian Curly hair journey

       

       I would like to share my experience of natural curly hair which I hated since my young age. I fell in love with my hair 16 months before but I am more confident ever about it and comfortable too.I had very dense and frizzy curly hair. My mom used to oil, brush and braid my hair.
       When I tried basic curly hair products, then I started getting compliments for my hair. So I started following Curly hair method religiously. I have 3b/3c hair with low porosity. My hair loves DIY masks and  Deep conditioning which changed my hair journey. I am learning new methods to style my hair. 

Curly Hair Routine and Products - 
When I was new baby for CG method, initially I tried some basic products which I listed below-
1. Pre-poo my hair by oil before shampoo. ( I like to keep my hair oiled for whole night)
2. Mamaearth shampoo used on wash days.
3. Conditioner and Leave-in-conditioner Loreal Paris smoothing conditioner. (This product is discontinued by Loreal now)
4. Hair Gel  Pantanjali aloe vera gel.


Techniques used for Styling -

A. Praying hand- Using this technique for reducing frizz of curls
1. Apply conditioner on damp hair.
2. Take conditioner and rub between your palms.

direct contact with roots and scalp ) to end of the hair strand.

1. Apply conditioner on wet hair.
2. Divide hair in small sections.

C.Scrunch- This technique adds volume and definition to hair.
