Do you suffer from curly hair that's dry, damaged, frizzy, or uncontrollable? Are you open to trying something new? With the curly girl method the main rules of the curly girl method (no silicones, no sulfates/shampoo, no heat) as well as how to follow a good routine for curly hair to maximize your curls' potential. Like many beauty regimens, the results will vary from person to person, but this method just might work for you.

So, say good-bye to the frizz and split ends and hello to soft, healthy curls!

Step 1 Have your hair trimmed. This will get rid of any damage or split ends.

Step 2 Clarify with a shampoo (for the last time) before beginning. This will cleanse your hair of any silicones

Step 3 Wash your scalp with conditioner (conditioner washing with LaBella Pearl Replenish Conditioner). Begin your routine by wetting your hair in the shower. Distribute conditioner on your entire scalp and massage your scalp with the tips of your fingers (not your fingernails).

Step 4 Distribute replenish conditioner throughout all of your hair and untangle gently. Use your hands or a wide-toothed comb. Start by untangling bottom sections of your hair and then gradually move upwards. Let the conditioner sit in your hair for five minutes or so for extra moisture.

Step 5 Do the final rinse of your hair with cool or cold water. Cool and cold water seal the hair’s cuticle and lock in moisture. This will decrease frizz and add shine. Leave some conditioner in your hair, especially in dry sections like the ends. It's fine to run your fingers through your hair gently, but do not comb your hair after this point.

Step 6 Apply LaBella Pearl Revive to your hair. Do this while your hair is soaking wet if you have curlier hair, but wait five minutes or so if you have medium to wavy curly hair. Put revive in your hands and rub them together to emulsify. Then, smooth or rake the product into your hair by sections.

Step 7 Gently scrunch your hair with a t-shirt, paper towels, or a micro-fiber towel to remove excess moisture. A generic terrycloth towel will make your hair frizzy. You may wish to finger shape your curls at this time instead. Next, wait five or so minutes so the hair can assume a permanent shape.

Step 8 Dry your hair. Air drying is the easiest and gentlest way to dry your hair. If you must blow dry your hair use a diffuser to avoid frizz. Only dry your hair partially (about 80 percent dry) and air-dry the rest of the way. Do not touch your hair while it is drying or it will mess up and frizz. To start, tilt your head to one side. Take the diffuser and place it near your hair's roots. Hold it there until your roots are dry. Use circular motions as you dry the hair near your scalp. Use the diffuser's prongs to gently massage your hair, promoting volume as well as natural waves and curls.

Step 9 Spray Revitalizer afterwards. When your hair is dry, consider adding LaBella Pearl Revitalizer for extra shine and moisture.
