Growing up I was never taught how to take care of wavy or curly hair other than the aggressive brushing my mom spent my entire childhood doing because she had 1A hair and was jealous my hair is very much 2B/2C. I was taught nothing of curly hair care (the colloquial “curly girl routine”, even for those with a lot of wavy hair) because my mother was a neglectful drug addict whom I am very glad remains gone. That said, I am going to have one of these in my hands very soon and am also anxiously awaiting rice water shampoo and conditioner to give a try. I am also going to be getting various gels and holds customized for my hair as well.
