This method will give you perfectly defined curls

The Curly Girl Method, popularised by Lorraine Massey, offers a unique approach to styling and caring for natural curls. It focuses on avoiding harsh ingredients like silicones and sulfates, using techniques that enhance your natural curl pattern. The key lies in carefully chosen products and the right techniques, from cleansing to styling.


Designed for those who want to restore their hair’s natural texture and health, this method is perfect if you're looking to revive your curls. Just follow a few simple steps, and you’re on your way!


  • "reset" wash: before beginning the method, do a "reset" wash to remove product buildup; use a gentle scalp scrub for best results;

  • cleansing: wash your hair with conditioner only (co-wash) or a sulfate-free shampoo; massage your scalp for at least a minute to boost circulation and thoroughly cleanse;

  • conditioning and detangling: apply a silicone-free conditioner, making sure your hair is fully saturated for maximum hydration; gently detangle with your fingers, then rinse most of the conditioner, leaving a light layer to lock in moisture;

  • styling: once your hair is clean and detangled, apply a curl-defining product (gel, cream, or mousse): use your fingers to spread the product through your curls and lightly scrunch for definition;

  • plopping: bend forward, wrap your hair in a cotton T-shirt or soft towel, and secure it; this helps remove excess moisture without disrupting curls;

  • repeat: each time you wash your hair, repeat the previous four steps.
