Visiting a curl specialist completely changed my relationship with my hair
Whether I went to expensive salons or not, it always felt the same: no one seemed to know what the heck to do with my hair. I internalised this and believed it was fault for having such unmanageable hair, so straightened my frizzy locks as much as possible – and avoided having my hair cut at all costs.
So how does the ‘curlbycurl’ cutting method work? ‘It basically involves cutting each curl individually, and doing it all while the hair is dry,’ Joleigh explains. ‘The problem with wetting curly hair before you cut it is that all curls spring into different shapes, so you have a much better idea about how the curls will sit when you do it dry.’
When we move onto the wash, Joleigh talks me through looking after my curls. In the past six months, I’ve learned so much about the completely different maintenance curly hair requires when compared to other hair types, but it really helps having an expert on hand to answer all my questions. I explain that I’ve been washing my hair with conditioner and only drying it with microfibre towels.
I find this so reassuring, as ‘frizzy’ is so often described as the most negative trait hair could possibly have. It’s incredibly useful to find out more about my hair texture – I had no idea what low or high porosity even meant before going in there.
