  • Remember before social media when we could feel happy with ourselves and our lives without comparing them to other people’s? (I’m sure at least some of you are old enough to!) I wish I could give you that as a gift so you could enjoy your hair in the moment without feeling bad that it’s not as [defined/voluminous/shiny] as someone you follow on social media. I often get messages along the lines of “I wish my bad hair days looked as good as yours”. But it’s important to remember that we are all at different stages in our hair journeys
  • AD | Do you sleep on a silk pillowcase to protect your curls at night? I ditched the cotton pillowcase a few years ago, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. Silk pillowcases are fab for curly hair because they minimise friction and help our hair retain moisture, which reduces frizz, tangles and breakage, ultimately keeping our curls healthy and helping them last between wash days. I’ve been using this beautiful silk pillowcase from @lilysilk for a little while now and love it! It feels luxurious and helps my curls last into day two and beyond. I personally love
  • Little dose of hair reality for ya! Even though it can sometimes look like it, my curls are not nicely styled all of the time. So, every so often I like to remind you of that in my feed as well as on my stories. This is just my regular pineapple-bun, with some of the excess hair clipped down with a couple of small claw clips. Something I’ve learnt about the messy bun is that the less you try, the better it’ll turn out. The first attempt is pretty much always gonna be the best, most effortless-looking attempt for me.
  • ✨DAY 1.5 HAIR✨ If you joined in the debate on my post recently you’ll know what I mean by that But for those who don’t, I just mean I washed my hair last night. My hair held up okay overnight but it didn’t hold up as well as it usually does, and I think that’s because I didn’t apply enough gel or any extra gel. So, I refreshed today (first pic) and it feels like it’s gonna hold up much better now. Swipe to see my hair before I refreshed it I really like adding extra gel to my hair
  • Do you diffuse or air dry? I pretty much always diffuse my hair dry because: 1. It’s quicker 2. I hate having wet hair on me 3. Diffusing gives me much better definition because the water weight isn’t pulling my curls out as they dry When I air dry, it takes about 5 hours (with products in) and while my hair is a bit fuller, I don’t get as good definition. My air dried hair reminds me of my hair before I started styling my curls in the way I now do. When I diffuse, it takes about 30 mins
  • ✨What was your biggest curly hair game-changer?✨ I’ve think there were two for me: 1. Gel I love the extra definition and hold I get with some of my fav gels. Plus, figuring out that the crunchiness needs to be scrunched out was an added game-changer! 2. Discovering that my hair loves protein. I now include protein in my routine pretty much every time I wash my hair. It probably took me a year or so of trial and error and research to figure out that my hair loves both of these things. Getting to know your curls takes time
