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 use to straighten my hair very often because my curls used to be extremely unmanageable. But one day while browsing through Instagram posts I found the treasure, and that was this blog by Anjana. I was so mesmerized by her curls that I thought of giving the routine a try.

Here’s my curly hair routine:

Shampoo – I use Dove shampoo just on my scalp
Conditioner – I use Garnier Ultra Blends Henna Blackberry Conditioner. It gives good shine and amazing curls. I use the same as leave in too.
Scrunching – It’s key for amazing curls. Sometimes, I comb my curls & then scrunch again. Then I use aloe vera gel.

Thank you so much Anjana for your help.💖”

Hi Anjana,

Great testimonial! Minal’s hair looks so good. It is looking shinier with more volume on it.

Thanks for sharing this post. Have a great weekend. 🙂

Hi Anjana, I recently came across your blog and decided to give my curlies a chance. I would really love if they turn out to be as good as your. I have some questions though. I started with your routine as it’s my first time ( Enliven conditioner and Schwarzkopf Taft gel). I am still.waiting for my Cantu curl activator creme to be delivered. I started with oiling my hair and left it on for an hour. Then I shampooed with Himalaya anti dandruff shampoo. I used enliven conditioner for detangling and squish to condish. I used it on dripping wet hair and used a generous amount. I washed it lightly and followed with the gel. I took a small amount of gel as it has strong hold. After that, I wrapped my hair in a tee and left it. I diffused it after an hour. The result? I got some curls but some of the strands came out from the clump. There was some frizzing on the head and in the curls. The hair on the head took the shape of how it dried, forming weird shapes and the crown felt flat. Can you please help me achieve better curls? Bouncy and wild without frizz? Where did I go wrong? Is it the weather? By the way, I live in Bangalore.

Not enough conditioner left in, not enough gel, incorrect diffusing – any of these 🙂

Just want to point out that Set wet does not mix well with all conditioners, I had this problem too when I was using it. It forms kind of little white balls when applied over the leave-in, so most of the product gets removed and my hair would get frizzy.

Yes it is always a good idea to mix the products in your hand just to be sure
