For the past few months, I’ve been trying to follow different versions of the curly girl method… with very little success.
Curly girl hair routines work for a lot of people. I am not one of them, unfortunately.
My natural curls have been damaged by years of heat styling, and the end result is a lot of frizz and not enough curl definition.
Hence, I went looking for a curly hair care routine that could help me rediscover my natural texture.
But I feel like I've watched every YouTube curly hair routine, tried many a curly hair routine and given every curly hair shower routine a crack.
So, I started researching other ways to embrace my curls, without sticking to the notoriously strict 'curly girl method' (which shuns heat styling).
I came across an interview with Mandy Lyons, the hair stylist behind actress Sarah Jessica Parker's infamous Carrie Bradshaw curls on Sex and the City.
Eager to learn about her haircare routine for curly hair, I was shocked to read Lyons used five different curling tongs to create Carrie’s famous curls.
I couldn’t believe it!
