I myself came here, having once found on the Internet this wonderful post by a wonderful girl Ksenia Fantasmagoria . Just look at her cool springs! But contrary to the canons of CGM, she uses products with silicones!
Then I searched the site for posts written by curly girls. And I found! By the way, the first post about CGM was written back in 2015! But it did not receive much response. Maybe that"s why its author Margarett wrote so few posts. Then, apparently, there were few curls. But I found several curly authors, to whom I am still very grateful. And I am very glad that now there are many more curls on the site! We all know girls who constantly motivate and inspire!
Furthermore, a lot of people began attempting and utilizing the Curly Girls Method following Yulia Jevil’s post.
Personally, I don’t belong to the group of people who used curls to battle nature. I didn’t have to love and accept them for who they are. They have always been loved by me. I had to learn, though, to take care of them all my life. In addition, there have been occasions when I have purchased shampoos, balms, and masks specifically for straightening and smoothing. Similar to Pantene and Sunsilk, it was mass-market. I just wanted to see what they could make out of my curls. As it turned out, all they did was make combing easier by smoothing the hair cuticle. However, my hair was still curly.
I mistakenly believed that my hair was only wavy until I had my first haircut in 1994. And I didn’t realize how much it could curl until I cut it.
My two primary hair-related errors were as follows: Using a massage brush to comb through dry hair; getting a haircut without need
How was the treatment prior to CGM? Regular. Like any hair maniac, I was always searching for the right products. If required, apply an oil, scrub, or root mask before washing. Applying a mask, conditioner, shampoo, or silicone leave-in. Brush wet hair, gently fluff with your hands, and allow it to air dry. On occasion, it worked out fairly well.
Of course, I only welcomed the CGM wave.

And I still haven’t switched to CGM completely. I only use some of the curl care techniques.
My discoveries in CGM.
1. Using cowashing soap. Swap out shampooing for another. aids in preventing hair from drying out too much from repeated washing.
2. Give in to Condish! An amazing process for the top section of hair, which is less curly and more frizzed out than the bottom. I "squish" my head down because it’s convenient to work through dangling threads of trouble. However, intense nutrition and hydration are not required for the hair on the back of the head from the lower region.
3. Gel for styling! The most unexpected thing, in my opinion. I had no idea that naturally occurring curls could be so distinct. However, I don’t always use gel when I wash; occasionally, livin or cream will do.
My contradictions with CGM.
1. I don’t stay away from silicones, parabens, or sulfates. Instead, I only stay away from mass-market heavy silicones. They don’t really affect the curl, but I’m more concerned about them getting on my scalp. I use sulfate shampoo once a week and kovosh or sulfate-free shampoo the other days. Additionally, a lot of brands offer silicones and sulfates in their curly product lines.
2. I comb my hair!
I comb wet hair after applying Livin with a teaser for curls.
I comb my hair moistened with spray during refresh with a comb with wide curved teeth.
I can even (oh, horror!) comb dry hair when I"m in the mood. Then I get waves. I like them too.
3. I don"t do plopping.
Neither a T-shirt nor a microfiber towel absorb almost anything water drips down the back of the neck. I wrap wet hair in a regular terry towel, I don"t rub or squeeze, I just gently wrap it and remove it literally after minute. Excess water is removed, but the hair retains sufficient moisture. You can apply gel or livin.
Features of caring for short curls.
Curling short hair is nearly effortless. When your damp hair dries, it will still curl even if you just comb it and don’t touch it again. And they can turn me into a lamb by using curly styling.
A clean scalp is essential at all times. For this reason, I wash my hair every day—and when the weather gets hotter, I even let myself go outside with damp hair.
I alternate sulfate, sulfate-free shampoos and kovoshes.
This allows me to maintain a balance of sufficiently gentle and effective cleansing. 
The scalp needs additional cleansing once a week. At different times, Ollin mousse-peeling with aloe, Kapous refreshing scrub and Aasha herbal mask coped with this. Now I have Nirvel shampoo-peeling. 
Masks and conditioners must be applied, be sure retreating from the roots. And the roots are very close If this condition is not met, the hair will quickly become dirty.
Here it is important to determine the degree of porosity and curl in order to understand which part of the hair needs more care.
For example, my hair curls the most on my forehead and at the bottom of the back of my head. They also have low porosity.
And the hair on the crown, top of the head and upper part of the back of the head is dry and porous. They frizz more and curl worse. Perhaps these are acquired qualities, since this is the hair that is exposed to the sun and all the winds. Or perhaps this is a natural feature. But they need more nutrition and hydration than the healthier part of the hair. Therefore, when applying care, I pay more attention to this part of the hair.
I always tilt my head down when I wash my hair. Applying masks, conditioners, livins, and styling products is now simpler as a result. The majority of the products are applied directly to the areas that require the most hydration and nutrients. Additionally, it’s simple to avoid getting product on the roots of your hair when applying with this technique.
In addition, I frequently take different stimulants to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss—which is what I’m most afraid of. I only use tonics and lotions on clean, dry scalps; otherwise, I can’t feel where I put them. I try not to dishevel the curls as I massage, lifting the hair at the roots. I’m pretty sure I’m the only person on the site who hasn’t changed significantly or grown in my two years here. However, I’ve made my hair thicker and better.
Masks with and without silicone are what I use. I switch up as I please. The silicones straighten my hair, but I’m not aware of it.
I usually apply conditioner Livins and style over the mask. Experience has shown that applying livin and styling gel simultaneously to short hair is excessive. Having short, colorless hair is essentially healthful. They can easily become messy and sticky due to overindulgence in food. I use either one or the other because of this. Usually, there is only one gel or custard. There are some exceptions, though. Take Prelest gel, which dries out hair without requiring the application of cream or Livin beforehand.
After using Livin, I use a curl teaser to comb my hair. This gives the curls structure and direction. At this point, if I lose my fingers, my head will resemble an inanimate object with distinct spirals on it. I don’t even try to help the hair curl in this instance. I simply brush my damp hair away from my forehead and allow it to air dry. As they see fit, they will coil themselves. After that, I simply use my fingers to remove the dried hair from the roots.
I skip using a comb if I use styling gel. I work the gel between my palms, smooth it through my hair using smoothing motions, use my fingers to comb it through, and then give it a big squeeze.
I no longer need finishing oils for my hair. For the ends, livins and styling provide adequate defense.
Mists. I only use it to restyle my hair in the morning. I now use store-bought lavender sprays instead of making my own. I attempt to select lighter ones. I use a wide-tooth comb to separate the curls in my hair, and then I squeeze it out and allow it to air dry.
Even when drying curly hair, short hair has the benefit of drying relatively quickly. Fast is 1-2 hours as opposed to 3–4 hours. I just bought a diffuser-equipped hair dryer, but I hardly ever use it.
Naturally, I also can’t help but notice that care products don’t go bad on short hair very quickly. I’m not sure if this is a benefit or a drawback. You can save money, but you also want to try a lot of different things, and with my consumption, the products might spoil before they run out. I’m therefore thrilled to have the chance to purchase castings.
That concludes the mystery surrounding my curls.
Particularly when it’s short, having curly hair can be both a blessing and a challenge. I’ll discuss my experience taking care of my short curls both with and without the Curly Girl Method (CGM) in this post. Discover the benefits and drawbacks of each method, as well as how they affect manageability, overall hair health, and curl definition. You’ll also pick up useful advice for maintaining the best-looking short curls regardless of your routine.
Finally, I’d like to know what girls think about curly bangs. I am aware that a lot of curlies decline it out of fear of the styling challenges. However, I adore this organic wave that grows above the forehead, so I trim my bangs once a year and then grow them back.
Dazzling hair to everyone!
