This guide walks you through the key steps of styling curly hair—starting with product knowledge and ending with finishing touches that make a lasting impact.
Understanding ingredients and how they work is essential. When you know what products serve your client’s curls best, you build both trust and confidence in your recommendations.
We’ll break down the differences between clarifying and chelating shampoos, how to properly hydrate curls during conditioning, and the best methods for defining curls—like why gels outperform creams when it comes to frizz control.
You’ll also learn drying techniques (hello, diffuser vs. hood dryer), how and when to break the cast, and why it matters for definition and volume. Finally, we’ll clear up common myths around oils and hydration so you can educate your clients on maintaining healthy, long-lasting curls between visits.
