Curly Haircare: "Devacurl" System Intro

Hello! As a proud Curly Girl I have to take special care of my curls. Over the past 2 years i have stopped flat ironing my hair, i have only done a hand full of times. My hair is now much longer. I have always wanted to find a system of care that was kind of "easier" and healthy to maintain my curls.

I came across the "Devacurl" system before and last week i purchased the book "CurlyGirl Handbook" I have heard so many good things about it , so i gave it a try.

One of the first things that i learned early on in the book was stop using regular shampoos. So many have "Sulfate" in it which is horrible for hair in general but worse for curls.  I admit i was like what? no shampoo? Curls need moisture not to be stripped of it.   Here are a few pointers.

  • Use a botanical cleansing conditioner to wash hair.
  • Use products with " no sulfate" & other harmful chemicals
  • Don't ever use a comb or brush on your hair
  • Don't use a cotton towel on hair , use microfiber towel or old tshirt
  • Comb hair in shower with fingers.
  • "scrunch up" when drying & placing product in hair.
The book really debunks all the ways that I thought was a good way to handle my hair.  I have not bought the products from the line yet but i did start the "no shampoo" method of cleansing my hair. To better explain the cl easing process watch the following video



As I continue to read the book , I plan on implementing the steps that are recommended on my hair. The few that i have followed so far have given me results that so far i am enjoying.  I always say knowledge is power, just when i thought i had a system down of  "dealing with my hair" I was told i was so wrong! haha
