Embracing Your Natural Curls Part 2: Discovering Your Unique Curl Type

August 04, 2023

Now that you are an expert on all the terminology for the curly girl method from our previous blog: 'Embracing Your Natural Curls Part 1: A Beginner's Guide To The Curly Girl Method's Lingo' now is time to learn about your unique curl type. 

Naturtint have created three regimes developed by haircare specialists to meet the unique needs of each type of curl;

 

TYPE TWO HAIR – WAVY


You’ll need four products from the Naturtint Curl Definer range for this type of hair – the shampoo, leave-in conditioner, co-wash balm and oil repair.

Your specific regime is broken down into a two-week cycle, using the shampoo and leave-in conditioner during week one, and alternating that with the co-wash balm and oil repair during week two.

TYPE THREE – CURLY


You’ll need all five products from the Naturtint Curl Definer range and your personal regime is broken down into a three-week cycle.

Week one – use the shampoo, leave-in conditioner and oil repair.

Week two – just the co-wash balm and oil repair.

Week three – your final week involves the shampoo, hair mask and oil repair.

 

TYPE FOUR – KINKY 

 

Girls with this type of curl also have a three-week cycle using all five products from the Curl definer range.

Week one – use the shampoo, co-wash balm, leave-in conditioner and oil repair.

Week two, take out the shampoo and introduce the hair mask, so your routine is co-wash balm, hair mask, leave-in conditioner and oil repair.

Week three, this week you’re simply using the co-wash balm and oil repair.

 

Remember, you only need a tiny amount of the oil to repair the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, for more defined curls.

And that’s it. Welcome to the most beautiful, natural curls that a girl could want!
