Curly Hair Transformation

How I Transformed My 2C Waves Into 3A Curls

I’ve had quite the curly hair journey. It took years of heat damage, straightening treatments, and a global pandemic for me to finally embrace my curls. But I’m here and they’re prettier than ever!

The Details

Identify Your Curls

I identified my hair as 2C and catered to that. I discovered some lightweight products that changed everything, and now my hair is mostly 3A with more spirals than waves!

Use a Wide-Tooth Comb

Only use a wide-tooth comb on curly hair. And never, ever brush your curls when they're dry!

Moisturizing Shampoo

Since curly hair is susceptible to dryness, a moisturizing shampoo is essential.

Apply Gel

Apply a lightweight gel (don't weigh down those curls!) to soaking wet hair before scrunching.

Use a Microfiber Towel

I try to let my hair air dry for awhile, but I'll use a microfiber towel or t-shirt to scrunch if I'm in a rush.

Diffuse

Once my hair is about 30% dry, I can start diffusing if I need to.

Sleep

When it’s time to sleep, I put my curls in a high, loose pony tail using silk or satin scrunchies so I don’t damage my hair.

Dry Shampoo

On days 2-5, I'll use a curling spray or water to reactivate the curls if needed. I aim to wash my hair only once a week, so a good dry shampoo is my best friend!

Curly hair is a process! I still feel like I’m learning more about my hair every day and I look forward to continuing my curly hair journey.
