How to Prepare for Your First Appointment

  • Detox

    To get the most out of your Curl Revival with me, you will want to start the process of detoxing your hair at least 4 weeks in advance of your appointment.

    Avoid using the following things in your hair: oils, butters, food, clay and henna.

  • Cleanse

    This lays the foundation for your curl care routine and any good hairstyle! It is the most important part of caring for your hair.

    You want to cleanse your hair and scalp at least once a week using a shampoo such as this one, then this one.

  • Condition

    Now your hair is clean, you want to follow up with a conditioner like this one.

    You’re going to use it with plenty of water to detangle and remove shed hair – first with your fingers, them with a detangling brush, (not a wide tooth comb).

  • Style

    Now it’s time to style how you are most comfortable. For wash and gos, you will want a botanical gel and/or a foam. Once you have styled, you can dry your hair with a diffuser or a hood dryer.
