One year following the CG Method<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I’ll get straight to the point: this was the best year ever for my curls. Never before have they been so curly and defined.\u00a0<\/p>

In the years before I had curls on my wash days, but the days after I often had more wavy than curly hair. Nowadays my hair curls every day – one day better than the other.\u00a0<\/p>

But my curls are healthy, defined and are firm. So you\u2019ll understand that I\u2019m very happy that I started following the Curly Girl Method!\u00a0<\/p>

Here is the result one year following the CG Method:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

By now, I can say that I have a standard CG routine. It works, I don’t have to think about it, I don’t spend too much time on it, and the result is always good. And that routine is as follows:<\/p>

I wash my hair once a week, which is super chill because washing takes ages. And the point is to create healthy curls which won\u2019t need much washing.\u00a0<\/p>

I had to go through a transition period where it was a bit greasy, but my hair is used to it by now. Sometimes I do use a dry shampoo the last day(s) before my wash day.<\/p>

On my wash day, I use a co-wash or clarifying shampoo. Then I apply a deep conditioner and leave it on for about 20 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>

I rinse it out and finish with cold water. I flip my head upside down, scrunch out some excess water and apply a leave in conditioner.<\/p>

Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch. Then I apply a lot of gel and scrunch that in too.\u00a0<\/p>

After that, I grab a cotton t-shirt to scrunch out the excess water and plop my hair in a microfiber towel. About 20 minutes later I take off the towel, flip my head upside down again and blow dry my hair with a diffuser.\u00a0<\/p>

This takes about 15 minutes, I let the last bit air dry. When my hair is completely dry, I have a gel cast and scrunch out the crunch.\u00a0<\/p>

And there are my curls, full of volume and definition!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lazy Curly Girl Method<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Above I describe my ideal CG routine, but I also often do a Lazy Curly Girl variant, haha!\u00a0<\/p>

My lazy routine is as follows: wash with a clarifying shampoo, apply a deep conditioner and leave it on for five minutes, rinse with cold water, scrunch out excess water, apply a leave-in conditioner and gel and scrunch it in.\u00a0<\/p>

If I really don’t have time, I replace gel with mousse.<\/p>

Refreshing curls<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the first days after my wash day, I wet my hair very lightly and scrunch it in. The water activates the hair products that are still in my hair. The days after that, I occasionally use mousse. Together with the hair products that are still in my hair, this creates a cast that I scrunch out when it’s dry.<\/p>

In terms of hair products I\u2019m very loyal. If I try something and it works well for my hair, I will keep using it. <\/p>

And that’s how it went with most of my hair products: I have been using them from when I started following the CG Method. I have to say that I prefer to use vegan products, and the range is therefore also slightly smaller.<\/p>\n

These are the products I use:<\/p>\n
