Few girls cherish curly until they have figured out how to get good curl hair days. The curly spirals on your head can be a mess if you do not know the healthy habits and follow a healthy curly hair routine. Frizz, volume, tangles and so many other hair woes are definitely on the list when you finally sit down to resolve curly hair problems. Well, it is no secret that every solution to these curly hair problems lies in the Curly Girl Method invented by Lorraine Massey (If you are new to Curly Girl Method check it out here). However, it can be confusing to know what to do and what not to while trying the CG method for the first time.
So, let’s go step by step to solve the common curly hair problems and guide you to a perfect curly hair routine.
1. Frizz
To control frizz, start with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that are designed for curly hair. Use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to gently blot hair dry, avoiding rubbing. Air dry or diffuse on low heat using silicone hair diffuser attachment. Avoid touching hair too much once it’s dry, and use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction while sleeping.
2.Volume
Most curly hair girls complain that their hair has either too much or too little volume – nothing in between. Well, curly hair does demand some volume but if you are looking for the desired volume for your bouncy spirals, the solution is to apply light weight products on towel-dried hair.
Always use CGM approved hair care products. Set your hair with Curl Activator cream or Instant freeze gel to get and hold the desired volume. A hair pick can be also used to lift up the roots and give more volume!
Pro tip: Invest in a good layered haircut that gives you the perfect volume.

Have you been trying to tame your frizz with heat styling tools? Well, this is exactly the problem. Stay away from flat irons, curling wands and blow dryers if you want healthy curls without any frizz. The best way to wake up with beautiful hair is using satin cap or satin pillow cover. You must remember to deep condition your hair and avoid over-washing your curls to control the frizz
3. Flat roots
What’s the point of having curly hair if your roots are lying flat? Here’s some tips that can definitely help you out when you get some flat roots.
- Upside down rinsing, conditioning, and diffusing
- Squish your roots upside down
- Try out clipping your roots for instant results (Check the video)
- Fluff your scalp hair while drying.
Invest in some good CGM approved hair masks such as 2chic® Ultra-Revive Hair Mask to make your hair bouncy even at the roots with the right steps in your hair regime.
4. Split ends
Well, if you want to avoid split ends, you have to bid a good bye to heat and straightening tools. Always protect your curls with a satin cap or pillowcase while sleeping.
Pro tip: Always go for a good trim every 3 months to get rid of split ends.
5. Dryness
Most curly hair girls complain about the lack of moisturized locks. You can always get rid of dryness by treating your hair with a leave in conditioner that you can apply on wet hair. Also, try out CGM approved hydrating hair masks to moisturize every strand of your hair so that you can enjoy well-hydrated luscious bouncy hair.
6. Lack of shine
You can only expect your curls to be shiny when they are healthy. Dedicatedly follow CGM routine, use sulfate free, silicone free and drying alcohol free products to restore the shine of your curly hair. Heat tools or any chemical hair treatment can lead to loss of your hair luster. SO, definitely need stay away from them as well.
7. Tangles
It’s not a secret that curly hair is prone to tangles. Therefore, you must always detangle in your shower using a special brush, a wide tooth comb or your fingers. During the shower, condition your hair and start working through it from the bottom so that you can get rid of the tangles without much hassle.
Pro tip: A detangler can really make your life easier!
The trick to have good hair days and less bad ones is to simply take proper care of your hair. The curly girl method is definitely the holy grail that guides you to healthy and fully curly hair.
