Let's talk about curly hair

My first blogpost, yay! I'm really excited and also a bit scared. I'd like to say that I'm not a professional and these are my opinions. In this blogpost I'll talk about my hair and how I take care of it. have fun reading it.

Okay, girls with curly hair will know what I mean, but curly hair can be really hard to style and to keep in that exact style through the day. I'm one of those girl and when I say curls I mean hair that has volume, small curls and frizz. Hard to tame and always poofy  on rainy days. I have hated my hair for years and it's still hard for me too style my hair natural. My hair has been damaged and cut in wrong hairstyle, but I'm still alive. Only a year ago I used wrong shampoo, not enough conditioner and too much heat. But one day my hairdresser made me aware that I had to stop, my hair could fall out if I continued. This what I do and how I handle my curly hair.

Also I like to say, I like to change my hair routine, so maybe next month this is completely different. The routine I have right now, I've had since 4 moths and I'm quite satisfied by it.

I wash my hair 3 to 4 times a week. This means every 2 days. Washing your hair too much can cause damage to your hair. Not as much as heat, but it's also important for healthy hair. I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner from Franck Provost (I'm not sure it's available in the US). They come in very big packaging (750 ml) and last forever. I use the Expert Protection 230°, it is supposed to repair and protect your hair when you use heat and have heat damage. I find my hair a lot healthier and although it's still not 100% perfect, it looks good and shiny.

When I step out of the shower, I wrap my hair in a towel en let it dry for a couple of minutes. Then I take it out and use a hair oil from L'Oreal and a heat protecting cream from Schwarzkopf (Osis+ softn'straight- medium control) that I bought from my hairdresser. Then comb it through once and let it air-dry. I try not to touch it too much. When I'm in a hurry (which is almost never since I always shower in the evening) I will blow dry my hair with a diffuser.

When I wake up, I apply the heat protecting spray from Franck Provost (Expert Protection 230°) and straight my hair mostly, when I'm feeling brave I will leave my hair natural. I would say which straightening iron I'm using, but I'm currently searching for another one, so I'll do a post about that later.
