Have you ever tried a product combination because your friend swears by it and her curls are always popping? Only to try the same thing & end up looking like “why?” 😩😂

.

The first thing we say is “these products don’t work!”

.

Usually it’s not the product, it’s the technique!

. 

Here are some tips on what you could be doing wrong when it comes to styling your curls.

.

1. Did you prep? Properly cleansing & conditioning your hair & scalp makes a world of difference in the end result. Make sure you are removing dirt and buildup to make way for moisturizing products. 🏆

2. Are you over using product? Most products for natural hair are super concentrated with rich ingredients such as humectants and oils. For many products, a little goes a long way. Try being a little less heavy handed and work product through with your hands. It will save your style and your pockets! 💵

3. Are you attempting the right styling method for your length? What works for short hair may not work for longer strands & vice versa. Find stylenistas online with similar strands and practice practice practice! 👑

4. When’s the last time you had a trim? A good shape up will help your tresses to cooperate. Getting rid of dead and split ends will save your style, shape your face, and keep you from mop hair! 😂

5. Are you going it alone?!! Consult a stylist. When all else fails find a great natural hair stylist and pay them a visit. They will be able to help you find a style and technique that you can replicate at home. They will also be able to recommend products for your hair. 👌🏾
