It can feel so overwhelming to start with but I promise it gets easier.
When you first start out, you’ll need a conditioner, custard/mousse & gel to get the basics underway. You’ll probably want to get yourself a diffuser too.
Lots of people sleep with their hair in a high knot and simply refresh their hair in the morning. Others sleep in a silk bonnet (a little like a shower cap). Others swear by a silk pillowcase to protect their locks.
It all depends on your hair type but once you cut out the bad chemicals from your routine you’ll start to notice that you need to wash your hair a lot less. Wash days will become more about adding moisture to and styling your hair rather than washing it.
When you put gel on your hair, it will dry to form a hard casing around the curls. This is called a cast. To break the cast, wait until the hair is completely dry and then gently scrunch the curls to release them from the gel hold.
Absolutely not! In fact, I encourage you to explore and experiment with routines and products that work for you! It is your hair, nobody should be telling you how you can or can’t take care of it.
