Reader Testimonial – Lakshmi Rubini

  • November 6, 2018

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 hated my hair ever since I can remember and felt so much inferior about it. I did chemical straightening twice and I really feel bad now for making that decision. I am so done with straightening and decided to go curly without knowing anything about curly girl method. I didn’t even know that such thing as ‘Curly Girl Method’ existed. Anjana’s blog has so much of information and I wish I came across her blog earlier. Not to mention about the you tube video that she has on her curly hair routine, I used to watch that video before every wash and I used to literally follow it to the dot until I got the hang of it :p

  1. Shampoo : I prefer to shampoo twice a week with Shea Moisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Shampoo(I am not very particular about shampoo, but this is what I use now).
  2. Condition : I condition with Generic Value Products Conditioning Balm and use Denman Brush to detangle and spread the conditioner.
  3. Rinse out all the conditoner and use the same conditioner again for Squish to Condish.
  4. Leave In : After the hair clumps from Squish to Condish, I use Kinky Curly Knot Today as leave in and scrunch.
  5. Cream/Gel : Then I apply large amount of Deva Curl Ultra Defining Gel to hold the clumps. After that I plop with a cotton T shirt for 15 minutes and diffuse until dry with Xtava Diffuser.
I have never felt this confident ever in my life. I read somewhere that embracing your natural hair is directly proportional to self love and I cannot stress enough how true that is!!! I am glad I started embracing my curls, because my daughter is curly too. Now I know how to take better care of her curls so that she is not hating her curls as I did when I was a kid.”

Hi 3b/male here! Can Denman Classic brush be used for blowdrying to give volume to the hair and make it slightly wavy? Also if you have any info about the difference between Denman Classic and Denman Hyflex Vent especially regarding blow drying do share. I know the classic Denman isn’t generally used for blowdrying, but still.

Hey Ajinkya! I haven’t used Denman brushes and definitely don’t advocate blowdrying curly hair(without a diffuser) as it can cause damage.
