If your curls are still frizzy and not lasting even though you’ve been doing everything you were told, the advice might be the problem. These are five pieces of popular curl advice that could be working against your hold — and by extension, your frizz, your definition, and how long your style lasts. This advice isn’t necessarily wrong. But nobody explains what it costs. Once you understand that, you have control. The Moisture-Hold Balance: Why Hold Controls Everything Hold is what controls...

Your styling technique could be the reason your curls are drying flat, stretched out, and stuck to your head — not your products, not your curl pattern, not your density. As a Curl Coach, I watch my clients style in real time and see the same problem consistently: hair compressed into one flat sheet instead of stacking on top of itself. Curls defined at the ends, but the root area stuck to the head with no space and no lift. The Curl Stacking Method fixes that. Style your hair so curls stack...

If your waves or loose curls fall flat every summer — losing definition by midday, never lasting past wash day — this routine is built specifically for you.

I’m familiar with the struggles and problems that wavy and loose curls experience, and the patterns are consistent.

You read the reviews online. One person says a product completely changed their hair. Someone else says it’s the worst thing they’ve ever tried. And you’re left with no idea whether it will actually work for your hair. That disconnect is not a coincidence — and it’s not your fault. It’s a combination of misleading marketing, mismatched expectations, and the simple fact that products work very differently depending on your hair type, your needs, and what you’re pairing them with. As a Curl...

If your curls are frizzing, falling flat, and costing you way too much time every single week this summer, the problem is not that it’s summer. The problem is your foundation. Summer does not require a completely different routine. What it does is make a weak routine impossible to ignore. The humidity, the sweat, the chlorine — all of it just exposes what was already not working. This is the routine I use year-round, with a few small summer-specific adjustments built in at each step. When you...

“I can’t believe I used to think a curl cream or an oil would solve my frizz.”“I used to think I had to make it seven days without washing.”“If I just follow her routine, I’ll finally get results like hers.”“I don’t diffuse because I don’t want damage.” These are real things my Curl Coaching clients and YouTube community said when I asked what they wish they had known before they started. The same five things kept coming up over and over. These are not mistakes. They are blind spots — things...

If your curls are weighed down, falling flat, and won’t last — or they feel dry, brittle, and hard to manage — you might be styling for the wrong finish type. Not the wrong curl type. Not the wrong porosity. The wrong finish type. This post walks through a side-by-side split test I filmed on my own hair: one side styled for soft finish, one side styled for rough finish, same technique on both, two completely different product combos. I’ll show you what a balanced routine looks like for each...
