Sometimes I would just “run a straightener over it” to smooth it out even if I was wearing it up. The amazing part – for me (and anyone else with it-looks-gross-unless-I-use-heat-tools hair) – is that these results didn’t take a minute of heat styling.īefore I found the Curly Girl Method, I used to heat style my hair any time I wanted to wear it down. After all, it’s not like I look like Taylor Swift (but maybe that’s more of a me-problem at this point). If you’ve always been a wash-and-go person, then you might not understand why I’m using such strong words like “amazing” to describe this hair. I know! I know! I’m a terrible person, and I’m causing hair breakage and creating frizz, and I’ll never amount to anything in life! But, guess what? I’m pretty amazed with the results:
#Squish to condish short hair full
#sorrynotsorryįor the full wash-and-style routine, watch this video from Swavy Curly Courtney! Then the final, most important step, which the CGM community MUST NEVER KNOW: After I let it out of the towel, I brush it. I apply some leave-in conditioner, wrap my hair up in a t-shirt for about 15 minutes, and relish in the fact that I didn’t turn my hands into useless flippers from a half hour of scrunching. I still follow the CGM wash and condition routine, but after I finish in the shower, I forget about CGM and style as I normally would. That means no scrunching, no plopping, no diffusing.
So I’ve recently stopped trying to style it curly. Carry me off in the middle of the night to be drawn and quartered because I am no longer following all those crazy ringlet rules, and (spoiler alert!) I’m getting better results.Īfter a full month of struggling with my hair through the Maid to Curl Challenge, trying to get the shiny ringlets of my dreams, I’ve realized that maybe my hair just wants to live it’s own life. I’ve been using the Curly Girl Method to style my hair straight. Don’t tell the CGM community, because they’ll probably burn me at the stake, but here’s a little secret: It’s not quite the one I expected, but my hair doesn’t look like crap anymore so, hey, I’ll take it. I’ve finally found a Curly Girl success story.
