#1 Define Your Curl Pattern

There are many different types of curl patterns and the Curly Girl Method works for all curl types.  First you need to determine if your hair is wavy, curly, or coiled. Knowing your texture will be important, this will help you personalize the treatment accordingly. The curly girl method focuses on avoiding over-shampooing the hair so that your natural oils can moisturize and nourish dry areas. Knowing your hair type gives a better idea of how often you should shampoo. 

#2 Pick Your Styling Products

#3 Know How Often to Cleanse Your Hair

How often you cleanse your hair is directly correlated to your curl type. If you have a wavy texture, you can use a regular shampoo once a week. Always condition before and after you shampoo. Curly textures can go without shampoo but will need to co-wash along with conditioning as often as once a week. Coily textures are only required to shampoo hair when absolutely necessary. According to this method, if you have this texture you will need to focus on co-washing regularly and conditioning between co-wash days.

#4 Identifying The Best Style For You 

 The most important factors to the curly girl method are in daily care and styling. The curly girl method is designed for you to use small amounts of heat by air-drying hair or wet setting with styling cream and conditioner. This will be essential for restoring damaged hair.
