My hair is very straight, without slightest waviness, and due to having androgenic alopecia, i cant use heat or chemicals to curl my hair, as it is harmful for my hair and scalp.
What alternative methods do you use to make your hair curly? It will be interesting for me to read and try it myself.
Silicone free conditioner! Research the Curly Girl Method. Heres a link that covers the basics - https://www.curlyworld.com/cgmethod
Really this just enhances your natural curls so if you don’t have any at all i’m not sure how effective it would be.
In any case, it’s a gentler way to wash your hair so could be worth trying just to see if anything happens!
This method seems interesting to keep hair curly and beautiful. My problem however, is that to use this method, i must get my hair curly in the first place.
Curly girl method specifically requires to not use any dangerous chemicals or dry hair with heat, so i cant do either the heat curling or chemical curling, and i dont know whether this method is useful for keeping hair curly and beautiful if i use temporary curling methods like braiding.
This may or may not be you, but a lot of people don’t realize they’re on the wavy/curly spectrum because they’re taught to treat it like straight hair and most stylists will give everyone a straight hair routine at the salon. And for those people, the curly girl method will work for them even if they’ve been styling it straight the entire time.
The CG method could definitely worth trying at least once or twice to see how your hair responds to it. It doesn’t require any chemicals or heat as the process is essentially just leaving some amount of conditioner in your hair and letting it dry like that.
Yes, i did try brushing the hair in the shower, instead of after, and it really slightly wavy. It is not strong waves, and definetely not curls, but at least now i know that my hair is actually wavy, and not just straight, as i earlier assumed it to be, because i straighened it by brushing after showering, not while showering and brushing while conditioner is applied, until today.
Yeah everyone will be different. Braiding is a good idea. You just gotta find what works for you!
