When we relaunched the website earlier this year we added a curly girl filter in the hair care products to make it easier to find suitable products. Since then I have been reading more and more about how to follow this routine and thought this would make a great blog topic for those that are as Curly Girl Inquisitive as me! So this weeks blog is a guest blog from Naomi Joy. Naomi has been kind enough to talk us through her hair routine and share her tips on achieving the ultimate natural curls using the Curly Girl Method.

Despite always knowing that my hair had the ability to form natural curls, like most girls when they hit the teenage years, I experimented heavily with straighteners, bleach, and hair dye, which definitely did not do those waves any good at all!
A few years back as my hair was growing out from a short cut, I realised that I really loved the texture of my natural hair. It was so intriguing that every time I would wash my hair the curls would slowly form as the hair dried naturally, and formed a different pattern of loops and whirls. I went against the grain and decided to embrace my natural curls again.
I quickly discovered the curly girl method through social media (there’s a big community on Instagram with a range of hair textures) and realised I had been doing a series of wrongs against my curls that needed to be rectified!
The curly girl method is a series of guidelines on how to best care for naturally curly hair, which is more prone to dryness and frizz than straight hair and so needs extra care and attention. There are a variety of approaches but most include avoiding shampoo, which is thought to strip and dry out the hair and using a technique called co-washing, which is short for conditioner washing. This means using low/ no poo alternatives
Also important for the method is making sure you avoid heat such as straighteners and hot brushes, avoiding certain chemicals like silicones, and styling the hair with less damaging products.
This is a solid yes from me. My hair has never been happier (and I still bleach and dye it turquoise!) and I’m still in love with my curls.
One tip from me would be doing the first few months of no shampoo and switching up your products during winter (where you can hide in hats) or potentially during lockdown! My hair took a while to get used to not being shampooed and to regulate the natural oils by itself. It also took a lot of experimenting to find the right products for my hair! Everyone’s hair texture and type is different and certain products work better on some people. Luckily, there are plenty of vegan brands out there who also specialise in curly girl products!
I think we all find our own patterns and routines that seem to fit our hair. The best thing to do is experiment to find your hair’s best fit. However, I can give you a rundown of what I do:
‘Unfriendly’ chemicals:
Parabens, silicones (anything that ends in “cone” or “xane”, sulfates, mineral oils, alcohols (a few are okay). You can get full extended lists online if you search the Curly Girl Method.

Halloween is a time for fun and creativity. You can be anyone you want to be, from a ghost or ghoul to a witch or vampire or even a mermaid. The only problem is that this holiday can also be the breeding ground of acne-producing bacteria if you aren’t careful! But do not fear, we will show you how to use makeup safely so that your skin will look its best when trick-or-treating on Halloween night.
