Care and Maintenance (FAQs)
Q: How often should I wash my hair while on the curly girl method?
Experienced ladies will advise you to wash once in two weeks or every week. But one thing is that; all hair is not the same, some people find it comfortable to wash once a week, while some don’t.
The best and surest way to know how often you should wash your hair is by testing it out yourself. Also make sure to check out my post on hair plopping mistakes that’ll ruin your curls.

Cutting or trimming curly hair when wet is a sign you are preparing for something worst.
Q: Is Brushing Curly Hair Bad?
Brushing or combing your curly hair can alter your curls’ formation: causing dispersed curls, otherwise known as frizz. So brushing curly hair is not good.
Instead of brushing, use your fingers to comb through your hair; and make sure you do this when your hair is wet and drenched with conditioner.
Q: Is straightening my Curl good or bad?
It depends on the reason why you decide to straighten your curly hair and how you define good and bad.
For me, I think it’s not bad, since you can get your curls, but it will require lots of work. And If you want to straighten your curly hair, it will also be okay if you are to opt-in for Keratin treatment.

Also, use plenty of conditioners, especially on the canopy of the hair.
