For those of you who still don’t know.....yes, you can brush out locs!! It’s time consuming and a pain in the ass but it can be done. All you need is a fine tooth, rat tail comb and dry hair. Also some spray conditioner for the brushed out sections so they don’t get re-tangled. The first pic is a clients locs and second is what mine looked like. #hippyhairdreadlocks #hippy_hair_dreadlocks #dreads #dreadlocks #dreadlockstyles #locs #locstyles #brushouts #crochetdreads #calgary #yyc #albertadreads #canadadreads - @hippy_hair_dreadlocks on Instagram

If your curls are suffering from haircut shock, or if you are planning on getting a cut soon you might wanna save this post for later! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Swipe 👈🏼 to see my progress.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1rst wash ☑ Half the products used contained protein. ❌No Deep Conditioner. ❌No Curl Training. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2nd wash ☑Used all moisturizing products except for gel ❌Protein Free Deep Conditioner. ❌No Curl Training ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3rd wash ✅ FULL protein wash & style. ✅ DC with Protein. ✅ Curl trained. 🔥 Perfect combination! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Haircut Recovery Tips 👇🏼 🔆Wash your hair often. If you have the time to wash it everyday for a couple of days in a row, do it! The more your wash your hair the quicker it will bounce back! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔆Curl Training. I don’t know how I forgot about this step on my 1rst & 2nd wash but I did. I use to curl train very often in the beginning of my journey but when I started seeing consistency in my curl shape I stopped. As soon as I incorporated this step on my 3rd wash, curl memory kicked in and I noticed a difference instantly. I would recommend Curl training until you notice consistent results. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔆Add Protein- Protein helps repair damaged hair. I can see how this might not make sense, it didn’t to me either because my hair is on the healthy side, but let’s think about it this way…your hair is now missing pieces of itself…it is no longer the same. Your curls are literally freaking out, having a panic attack because it doesn’t know how to curl the same way anymore. Adding protein is going to help that panicked state. You may not need a full protein wash like I did so start by adding a little bit of protein and work your way up until you find the right amount! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mermaidcurlz #mermaidhair #myjourney #curls #curlyhair #longcurlyhair #hair #cgmethod #transformation #curlyhairtips #curlyhairgoals #toronto #cabelolindo - @mermaidcurlz on Instagram

The many (many, many, many) stages of drying 😂 . The drying process really is where everything can go completely wrong on a wash day. . Theres been numerous times Ive had banging wet clumps, which exploded into some kind of bush on my head as they dried 🤦♀️ . Whilst there are several causes of this (from too heavy products to needing to clarify), it can also 100% be down to how you dry your hair, and what you choose to do between applying styling products and finally scrunching that crunch. . Heres a breakdown of some common techniques you can use whilst drying your hair, to help maintain definition and create a wee bit of volume. . Technique sources: Wet plopping - @hif3licia Micro/dry plopping - @naturallycurly Smasters - @smasters . Products used: @floracurl gentle curl towel @divaprostyling diffuser head @umbertogiannini curl jelly @weareparadoxx hair oil . Must also mention my beautiful friend Sadaf, @cute_curly_coffee, who also cup diffuses (cupping!) . I havent included root clipping as I dont usually use this technique but please check out @thecurlygirlnextdoor who has loads of fab tutorials on this. . Do you use any of these techniques whilst drying your hair? ❤️ . . . #curlyhairtransformation #curlyhairkillas #curlyhairlife #curlyhairlove #curlyhairjourney #curlygirl #curlyhair #curlyhaircommunity #curlyhaircare #curlyproducts #curlyhairbeauties #curlyhairdontcare #shortcurlyhair #finecurlyhair #curlygirlexperiment #curlybeauties #naturallycurly #3ahair #2chair #3acurls #curlyhairtips #curlyhairtricks #curlyhairtutorial #curlyhairtutorials #wettodry #washdaycurls #washdayroutine #washday #diffusingcurls - @welshiecurlgirl on Instagram
