"How can I make MY curls look their best?"

Want to see how incredible your specific type of curls can look? Whether they're Corkscrew, Wavy, Swavy (sort of wavy), or even just frizzy and fuzzy, this innovative way of shaping and caring for curls is exactly what you need!

As an experienced Curl Specialist and a Curly Girl myself, I've both battled and embraced all types of textures over the years. I've invested in countless products to use on both clients and my own curls and until discovering the Deva Curl line, had always been left wanting more. That all changed when I learned the simple yet revolutionary secrets to frizz free, bouncy curls: Hydration and Shape!

Hydration:

• Think of each single hair on your head like a limb (picture your arm).
• For those of us with curls, each bend in the single strand of hair represents a joint (picture your elbow).
•  Our joints are often the driest parts of our skin (elbows, knees, knuckles) and that is because of the "bend" in the skin. The same is true with CURLS!
• Hair with bend (or curl) experiences more moisture loss because of the joints in each strand.
• Loss of moisture ='s dry hair and dry hair ='s FRIZZ!

Keys to retaining that very important moisture:

1. Gentle, minimal washing with a conditioning, sulfate-free cleanser.
2. Luxurious hydrating with a botanically based cream conditioner.
3. Stop "blow-frying" your curls! Drip-drying naturally is always preferred and gives the best results. When that isn't an option, keep all drying efforts to a minimum by using low heat and low pressure air through a diffuser attachment. Better yet, get one of those fancy hooded dryers like I use at the salon! It gently speeds up the drying process without disturbing your delicate tendrils!

Shape:

• This part is up to your Stylist to create and maintain. Finding someone who knows and loves curls can be hard, so ask around and be patient if there's wait time for an appointment. A full schedule means a talented Stylist who is in high demand! Take this opportunity to begin using the hydrating Deva products to prepare for your new cut.

• A "Curl Specific Cut" is a pretty revolutionary way of approaching hair design. The concept takes each separate curl into account, as most of us have varying curl types throughout our hair. In order to do so, I most often will cut your hair DRY, in it's NATURAL state! 
• When preforming cuts on curls, I rarely use a comb at all! Just a curl rejuvenating lavender spray, a few gentle clips and my shiny little shears! I create the overall shape of the hair style by "pruning" the curls as if trimming a precious bonsai tree. :)
• No surprises at the end, no flat ironing, no urge to go home and "wash out" anything phony or over styled. Just natural, hydrated curls that spring and bounce like your never knew they could.
