What is the Curlsmith four-step method?Updated 4 months ago
The Curlsmith 4 step method helps you transform your wavy, curly or coily hair. We look through the products in each of our 4 steps so you can choose your product for your unique hair type.
Step 1: Cleanse
Step 2: Condition
Step 3: Moisturize
Step 4: Styling
1. Cleansing / washing is the first step. Our shampoos and co-washes cleanse the scalp and remove product build-up, without the use of sulphates which are too strong for curly hair.
2. Conditioning is the second step. This is needed to provide essential moisture to your curls, smooth your hair cuticles and boost shine. Our conditioners lock hydration in and help to detangle the hair without breakage.
3. Moisturizing is the third step. Leave-in conditioners are applied after washing and conditioning, while the hair is still soaking wet. This helps to lock in moisture, aid with further detangling, and prepare the hair for styling.
4. Styling is the fourth step. You can choose your styler based on the finished result you want to achieve. Out stylers are numbered 1-10 which range from a soft hold, to strong hold. You can choose a buildable hold, to a stronger hold which creates a breakable cast.
