The Curly Girl Method is a hair care routine designed specifically for people with curly or wavy hair. It emphasizes using gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that hydrate and define curls. The method encourages avoiding heat styling and harsh chemicals, promoting natural curl patterns instead. Key components of the method include using a wide-tooth comb, applying products while hair is wet, and scrunching curls to enhance their shape. Many followers also incorporate techniques like the plopping method and the use of microfiber towels to reduce frizz and maintain curl definition.
