“It was amazing how much I could relate when I read Anjana’s curl journey . After hating my curls for years I finally decided to give them a chance to bounce and my quest for curly hair care ended when I discovered this blog.

As a beginner, I started with the basic products – Enliven Conditioner, Cantu Curl cream and Flax seed gel (putting men’s gel in my hair was something I wasn’t up for yet!) . After my first wash with Squish-to-Condish and Air-dry later I could see ringlets forming. But it wasn’t until I started using Schwarzkopf Taft gel (As suggested by Anjana ) that I started seeing much better curl definition and hold. I also bought a diffuser to reduce the drying time.  It has been 3 months since I started using curly girl routine, and my curls are in much better shape now. Although they do get frizzy the next day (It’s about time I invest in a good silk pillowcase!).

Since my hair is really dry, I try to oil twice a week (yes,  even on co-wash days!) and deep condition them every other week. Also, I think haircut plays an important part with curly hair. Last year I chopped off my waist length hair into a high-low bob (and started straightening them every day! ). My initial attempts of carrying curls with this hair-cut were not as good because the lack of layers made my hair look 2C near the crown portion and back of my head and 3A at the ends (Not suggested!). A much more layered hair-cut gives more volume and improved curl pattern.
I am planning to experiment with some new products and silk accessories now. That’s my journey so far and I love my hair now :). Thank  you so much Anjana. Much love to you.”
