Want to try the Curly Girl Method. Where do I start?

I’m ready to start a Curly Girl–approved routine, but I’m not sure what to do with my current products. Do I need to toss everything and start fresh? I have fine curly hair and want to avoid heavy products.

You don’t have to throw out everything—but starting with a system designed to work together can make things much easier. Here’s what’s helpful to know when starting your Curly Girl journey:

✨ Start simple: Begin with a basic routine that covers cleansing, conditioning, and styling. You don’t need dozens of products—simplicity helps you see what truly works for your curls.

✨ Use a system designed to work together: Mixing products from different lines can sometimes cause buildup, dryness, or unpredictable results. Using a system formulated to be compatible ensures your curls stay healthy and responsive.

✨ Mind your curl type: Most curly hair products are made for thicker curls. Fine curls often benefit from lighter products and may want to avoid heavy ingredients like coconut oil or shea butter, which can weigh down hair or create buildup.

✨ Focus on what works for you: Everyone’s curls are different. Pay attention to how your hair feels and reacts to products, styling methods, and routines. Fine curls often need lighter hydration, while thicker curls may require more moisture and hold.

💛 Remember: Starting a Curly Girl routine is a journey. Focus on simplicity, choose products that suit your curl type and texture, and adjust based on how your hair responds. Over time, you’ll discover a routine that helps your curls look and feel their best.
