If your hair feels a little different without curl cream… don’t panic.

We’re so used to judging our curls while they’re still soaking wet.

I’m much more interested in what happens when your hair is actually DRY.

How does it feel then? How do your curls look?
And more importantly… what are they doing on day 2 and day 3?

Because that lovely slippery, soft feeling on wash day doesn’t always tell us how well your hair is actually going to perform.

So don’t judge your wash day before it’s finished.

Day 5 of no curl cream. Keep going… we’re learning things.

Still thinking about how much fun Creative Connect was.

There’s something so lovely about being in a room full of amazing creators, all sharing ideas, learning from each other and having a good laugh along the way.

I couldn’t help myself… a few people arrived wondering if their hair might actually be curly and left with me fully investigating their curl potential. Once a curl specialist, always a curl specialist.

Such a brilliant morning with genuinely lovely people. More of this, please.

Before you blame the lack of curl cream…

How wet was your hair when you styled it? Not damp. Not “I squeezed most of the water out first.”

SOAKING wet.

Try applying your styling product while your hair is still full of water on your next wash day. You might be surprised how much difference THAT makes.

Day 4 of our 30 days without curl cream.

Best birthday present from hearing he has worn his curls down for two weeks.

Your curl cream might not be hydrating your hair the way you think it is…

Because WATER is pretty important when it comes to curls. Pay attention when you wash your hair today.

Does the water soak in easily? Or does it sit on top while your hair takes forever to get properly wet?

If it’s sitting on top, we might need to have a wee chat about what’s coating your hair and stopping the water from getting in.

Day 3 with no curl cream.

What happens behind my back is none of my business…

Until it’s the back of my hair and I catch sight of it in the mirror 😂

The front was giving curls. The back was giving WTF.

Happy 46th birthday to me.. thanks for the sound

I dare you to stop using curl cream for 30 days.

Because somewhere along the way we were told curly hair NEEDS cream, leave-in, oils and ALL the moisture.

But… does YOUR hair actually need it?

For 30 days, simplify your routine:

Shampoo twice.
Condition.
Style soaking wet.
Use ONE product with hold.
Micro plop.
Diffuse.
Scrunch out the crunch.

Then watch what happens.
More volume? More bounce? Less build-up? Curls lasting longer?

And if after 30 days you decide your curls are better with cream… use the bloody cream.

This isn’t about curl rules. It’s about actually learning what YOUR curls need.

Who’s brave enough to try it?
