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.

    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.
