Wavy Hair

Wavy hair is prone to frizziness, has limited volume and resistant to styling. Stay away from heavy products that weigh the hair down. 

Opt for a moisturizing sulfate-free shampoo like Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo that gently cleanses the hair without stripping of it’s natural oils. To add moisture to your hair and reduce frizz, use Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner that tames frizz and leaves the hair looking and feeling healthy. To revitalize your tresses for added shine, bounce and strenght, use Banana Nut & Avocado Deep Treatment as a weekly deep treatment. 

Curly Hair

Curly hair has a well defined curl pattern of S shaped or spiral-like curls. This hair type has a lot of body, elasticity and excellent style versatility. It is easy to swell, dry out and frizz. 

Start with our sulfate-free Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo to cleanse, moisturize and detangle the hair. To strengthen and nourish your curls, apply Banana Nut & Avocado Deep Treatment. Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner will prevent frizz, while making hair easy to detangle and give curl definition. For Wash N’ Go days, use Jelle Coconut Styling Gel to give shiny, defined curls without the flakes or crunch. Kurl Defining Creme can be used as a daily moisturizer to tame frizz and define curls. 

Kinky Curly Hair

Kinky Curly hair has well defined tight curls in corkscrew or coil shapes. It is highly dense and full of volume. Easy to swell, tangle, frizz and craves moisture. 

Start #WashDay with a sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo and conditioner like Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo and Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner. For daily moisture and defined curls use Kurl Defining Creme. For easy, Wash N’ Go days use Jelle Coconut Styling Gel. To strengthen curls and promote healthy hair, include a weekly deep treatment into your hair care regimen like Banana Nut & Avocado Deep Treatment. 

Kinky Coily Hair

Kinky Coily hair is tightly coiled with some volume and limited movement. It requires manipulation to achieve curl definition. Hair is fragile, shrinkage, breaks easily and requires lots of moisture. 

Use moisturizing sulfate-free cleansers and conditioners that offer a lot of slip like Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo and Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner. Weekly treatments of Banana Nut & Avocado Deep Treatment will make the hair more manageable, add shine, nourish and promote growth. Kurl Defining Creme is the perfect butter that melts into the hair during curl manipulation for smooth, defined curls. Jelle Coconut Styling Gel gives a stronger hold for style manipulation. Kurlee Tropical Oils Blend can be used as a hot oil treatment or daily shine enhancer to revitalize the hair. 

Rihanna Stars In Animated Movie HOME | Positive Images of Brown Girls With Natural Hair

Photo credit: @XLNB

We came across this adorable photo on Twitter (posted by @XLNB), of the cutest little girl with natural hair, posing next to a life size poster of Tip.  Tip is the main character, played by Rihanna,  in Dreamwork's Animated film Home. 

Of course, we love all things @badgalriri, but the image of natural hair and the little girl smiling so proudly next to the photo is what caught our eye. This does not happen often. Yes, we love Princess and the Frog and all of the other positive images of brown girls in Hollywood. We absolutely adored the recent remake of Annie, where Quvenzhané Wallis starring alongside big names like Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz, wore naturally curly hair. HOME is another shinning example of positive images in the media or might we say Hollywood, which makes a statement that little brown girls are naturally beautiful with their kinks, coils, curls and waves. 

HOME premiers in theaters March 27th, 2015.

Kurlee Belle "Curly Fro" Style Pictorial by Terrinique

1. Start with Dry, Old Hair like @Terrinique 

2. Thoroughly wet hair and apply a quarter size of Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo. This Shampoo is Sulfate-free yet lathers really well. It will clean the hair while leaving it feeling soft, detangled and moisturized. Smells like a tropical rainforest. A little goes a long way. 

3. Rinse out shampoo and apply Banana Nut & Avocado Deep Treatment from root to tip. This deep treatment promotes growth, strengthens, nourishes and defines the strands. A little goes a long way. Smells like Banana Nut Muffins. Look at how defined the curls are. You will not want to rinse this baby out.

4. Apply plastic cap and sit under hooded dryer for 20 minutes. The longer you leave the deep treatment on, the softer your hair will be. If you do not have a hooded dryer, wrap a towel around your plastic cap and leave on for 20 minutes. Your body heat can act as a dryer. :) 

5. Section hair into 4 to detangle. Apply Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner from root to tip. This leave-in conditioner provides a lot of slip, moisture and detangles on contact. It will melt into the hair to make it more manageable. I used a wide tooth comb to detangle my hair after applying the leave-in conditioner. The leave-in conditioner is super light and won't weigh the hair down. Has a light hibiscus scent. Made from Hibiscus, Honey & Aloe Vera. Can be used as a daily moisturizer.

6. On freshly detangled hair, twist with Kurl Defining Creme. Kurl Defining Creme is my absolute favorite product. It has a creamy whipped consistency and melts in the hair to form smooth, defined, bouncy curls. Made from Cupuacu, Argan oil and Shea Butter. It is my secret weapon for good hair days. It is also a daily moisturizer. 

7. Apply flex-rods to each twist, ensuring that the ends of the twists are perfectly wrapped around the rod, for a smooth curl. This step is optional. I like using flexi-rods on my twists because they elongate the hair and give big fluffy curls. Let hair air dry or sit under a hooded dryer. I prefer air drying because it is healthier than using heat. Time to dry: 8 hours or overnight. 

8. Take out flexi-rods and separate twists with Kurlee Tropical Oils Blend to prevent frizz and added Shine. 

Viola!

This style usually lasts about 4 to 5 days. I sleep on a silk pillowcase at night to prevent frizz.
