Reader Testimonial – Kathrin Schmitz

Readers’ Diary includes some of my beautiful readers who’ve had a curly hair transformation after following the Curly Hair Routine. A whole section dedicated to my readers.

So here’s a big shoutout to all my lovely readers – I would love it if you can share photos of your curly hair’s before & after, how the blog has helped you and a paragraph about your routine and products. Send them to info@curlsandbeautydiary.com

“I am 27 years old and from western Germany. It’s really hard to find some curl-friendly products here. So I keep reading product descriptions and ingredients. I stumbled upon Curls and Beauty Diary by accident and totally loved it from the beginning. It took a bit of practice to get the routine right, but as you can see from the pictures, I am on the right path 🙂

I try to go sulfate, alcohol and silicone free as much as possible. But as I told you above it’s sometimes hard to find good products. Often it is like the product has no silicones but alcohol and vice versa.

Here is my curly hair routine:

• I wash my hair once a week with a gentle shampoo from Weleda called Hafershampoo.
• I cowash once or twice a week with Maui moisture curl quench conditioner which has no sulfates, silicones, parabens etc. I then detangle with my fingers & use the squish to condish method.
• I use a leave in conditioner from L’Oréal called Botanical fresh care which is curly girl friendly. Then I apply Maui moisture curl quench, followed by a hard hold gel which is from my local supermarket haha. While applying my products I do not rake my hair but apply them with my flat palm and then scrunch it in :D. Sometimes I also use some styling mousse because it takes lesser time to dry than a gel.
• As I had longer hair last year I used to get good results with the plopping method. But now with shorter hair it does not work for me at all. So for sleeping or air drying I clip my hair up with a technique called “medusa clipping“. When I have no time to air dry, I diffuse.
  And voila… 🙂

Viele liebe Grüße – best regards!”
