Having a proper hair regime is type of journey, and in this article, I will explain for you how to start this journey and what to expect, and for who it will work.
Curly Hair Regime
Maintaining curly hair might not be straightforward. This is because curly hair is normally drier and more vulnerable to environmental effects such as sun exposure, cold weather, humidity, dew point etc. Each person has a unique hair type like their fingerprint. Therefore, while searching for hair care and styling tips, you need to keep in head that they might work for someone else but not for you, and you need to understand your own hair by increasing your information and making trial and errors.

Who Can Use Curly Hair Regime/ Curly Girl Method?
All people can take advantage of curly method as this method is mainly encouraging them to use products without harsh ingredients. So even people with straight hair, coloured/chemically treated hair can benefit from this method to have healthier and shinier hair. However, the method is specifically designed for curly community to have perfectly defined and clumped curls. All curl types, ranging from long waves to fine coils can hugely benefit from this method to care and style their hair.
How to Start Journey?
To start the journey, you need to learn your hair and types of products.
Hair type can be learned by knowing hair porosity, hair thickness, hair density, oily or dry scalp/strands, and curl type. Curl types are divided into straight (type 1), wavy (type 2), curly (type 3), and coily (type 4). Each type is again divided into three categories.
Curly hair products are divided into two main categories, in the shower and out of shower. In the shower products are categorized into two categories, namely: Cleansers and Conditioners. Out of shower products, can be categorized into two categories, as well: conditioning products and styling products. These products will be briefly explained in this article.
Curly Girl Method Products:
In-shower products:
Cleansers can be divided into two groups:
daily cleansers which are mild and clarifying shampoos which should be used monthly or whenever there is scalp build up. Mild cleansers include co-wash, as well. Co-wash is recommended for curl type 4 or those with very dry hair. Co-wash is a 2-in-1 product, so it cleanses and condition hair.
Conditioners can be divided into two groups, daily conditioner, or deep treatment. While daily conditioner can be applied daily and stay on hair strands for some minutes, deep treatments have a longer procedure. They normally have to be applied on clean washed hair while it is damp. Hair with deep treatment products on it should be covered by a plastic hat for at least 15-20 minutes. It is also recommended to apply indirect heat for better absorption. In-shower conditioners should be rinsed at the end.
Out of-shower products:
This includes priming/conditioning products like leave-in-conditioners, creams, and oils, as well as styling products such as gels, mousses, foams, and sprays. Choosing the product type needs your information about your hair and a little bit trial and error.
