How my curly journey started

 Hi friends!!!

My curly journey started in Nov. 2018 when I saw a picture of some gorgeous curls on Instagram, I thought to my self I wish I can have my hair that way, then I start researching and I came across something called "The Curly method" I started to look into more and more what this method was about and I got so overwhelmed with so much information.

What I decided to do is to start on the basics, I cut my hair very short and stop bleaching it. I did one more dye and it was to take the blonde away and go with my natural color chocolate. 

Here is a picture of the before with blonde balayage:


This is the after, I did a deva cut and dye my hair closes to my natural color.



My next step was to get rid off of all the heat tools that own, shampoos with sulfates, silicone, parabens, and drying alcohol. I got a better diffuser that is bigger in size. other things that I stop doing the first 3 months of my journey:

1. I stop washing my hair with shampoo every day. I purchase a co-wash to help me with this, I will explain what a co-wash is later in another post.

2. I stop using high heat and letting it air dry.

3. I purchase a Satin pillowcase and satin scrunchies.

4. I put my hair in a pineapple bun before I sleep.

5. I washed my hair with cool water. 

6. I found out the porosity, density, and how fine or medium is my hair. (will explain this next)

I'm still doing this great thing to keep the health of my hair and is been working amazingly.

One word that you will read constantly here in this blog is that you need to be patient with this process and not to give up because in the end is really worth all the hard work you put in into it.

Here is a recent picture of me two years into the Curly girl method.


Don't forget to check my Instagram page where I have videos and reviews of different products I try.

with all my love,

My experience with @Noughty

  My experience with @Noughty  *The shampoo is very moisturizing, it lathers with nice foam, cleans the build-up, and also can clean silicons. it does not contain sulfates, silicons, or harsh chemicals, is vegan and cruelty-free. The scent is very light but nice to floral. *The conditioner is moisturizing, if you have an oily scalp just apply it to the middle to ends. It leaves my curls very soft and manageable with no greasy residue, it does not contain sulfates, silicons, or harsh chemicals is vegan and cruelty-free. *Tamming Cream defined curls is a very thick cream so very little goes a long way, the formula fights frizz leaving waves and curls smooth and hydrated. *Scrunching Jelly this lightweight curl gel adds definition, for lasting flake-free hold without the crunch or stickiness, helps hydrate, and adds shine, for frizz-free waves and curls. My curls came out so soft and bouncy and hydrated that I'm definitely going to recommend these products to other curly ladies!!...

Hormones and Hair

 In one of my latest posts on Instagram, I talk about how hormones can affect the way your hair looks, so let's start..... Have you ever notice that days before you will get your cycle/period your hair and skin start acting up? You will say how? with your skin you will experience some breaking out, dryness, or more oil production depending on your skin, some redness, and irritation in some areas. (not everyone suffers from the same symptoms at once) with your hair, what I experience most of the time usually 5 days before I start my cycle is my curls become waves, my hair gets unmanageable, dryer, lifeless, it takes me more time to style it, the frizz is uncontrollable, it's just a big mess. During these days I always have the same question whats going on with my hair??? then I start doing Deep Conditioning or I clarify with ACV or I changed the way I styled it, and then it hits me.... I'm getting my period!!!! So what's the reason for this changed?  HORMONES yes that sc...

What is hair Porosity?

 Hi Ladies, As I'm here waiting for my mud face mask to dry, I decided to explain the biggest topic in the hair What Is Hair Porosity. The most important key to hair growth and length retention is moisture. your hair remaining moisturized and hydrates keep it from breaking off and stunting growth. This is why hair porosity is the most important key to not only natural hair growth but also helping you choose the right products for it. Hair porosity is the rate at which your hair retains moisture and then loses the moisture. it allows you to know how easily your hair will absorb moisture and how long your hair will stay moisturized. Your hair porosity can be either low, medium, or high. However, knowing which is very important to how you will care for your hair in the future. Understanding your hair porosity is si very important, know I'm going to go into depth on how to find out your hair porosity and then what you need to do to care for your hair depending on your hair's re...
