Thanks @franellishairstylist_ for treating my hair like a work of art and giving me my best curls 🧡
I get my hair cut dry on pre-styled hair (as I usually wear it), so it’s cut for how I wear it taking into account my mix of waves and curls.
Have you been to a curl specialist? Or found a hairdresser who just gets your curls?

Does your hair part at the back when styling your Does your hair part at the back when styling your curls? Try this ⤵️ 
Instead of splitting your hair all the way down the middle when brush styling, take a small section from the nape of your neck first, then proceed to bring the rest of the hair forward. 
This means the hair at the back stays at the back and doesn’t part or sit weirdly once dry. 
Let me know if this helps!

Hair shedding in pregnancy (day 6 hair) 👀 Lots Hair shedding in pregnancy (day 6 hair) 👀
Lots of you have asked me how my hair has changed during pregnancy and to be honest it really hasn’t changed much. The only thing I have noticed is during my first trimester I had quite a lot of shedding even after a couple days, but now later on in my pregnancy I’m noticing much less shedding, even after leaving my hair a long time between washes. 
Probs all building up ready for it to fall out post-partum 😉 But please don’t worry about  telling me post-partum hair horror stories, I’ve heard and seen lots about this online since having this account 😘
I just thought this was an interesting video to film! So crazy how hormones and different things can affect our hair in so many ways!

If your curls aren’t lasting past wash day, you probably need to add a gel or a ✨stronger hold✨ gel into your routine. 
I’m using the new @umbertogiannini Banana Jelly here to keep my curls defined for days. It’s stronger hold than the Curl Jelly but still lightweight from what I’ve found so far!

Tips for long lasting curls:
➡️ Clarify: Make sure you’re starting with a clean slate (I used @umbertogiannini Scalp Restore line this wash day)
➡️ Moisturise: Not everyone’s hair needs a leave in or curl cream, but if your hair gets dry or knotty between washes, consider using one. I used the @umbertogiannini Banana Butter here, but for a more lightweight option I love their Thirsty Curls leave-in and detangling sprays!
➡️ Hold: Use a stronger hold gel to lock your curl definition in place. I used the new @umbertogiannini Banana Jelly here. I’ve found this to be a medium-strong hold on my hair so far - a great option if you want a bit more hold than their Curl Jelly but don’t like the grittiness/coarse feeling super strong hold gels can add. You can also add a bit of texture spray if you want more grit or your roots are very silky and flat. 
➡️ Protect: If you’re out in the elements, wear your hair up to prevent it blowing around and causing frizz. Protect your curls overnight - I wear a pineapple bun and sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. 
➡️ Be realistic: Curls evolve throughout the week, they won’t look the same on day 4 as they do on wash day, they can stretch out, get a little more frizz etc. Different curl patterns and hair textures will also play a part, so learn to go with your hair! I also find my hair doesn’t last as well when I’m due a haircut and my layers have grown out - like right now!
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!🧡

If you don’t want to wet down your entire head when refreshing, you don’t have to. You can simply refresh any curls that need a little extra TLC. 
I’m using @tootilab gel here (HANZCURLS for 15% off) as it’s fab for refreshing with, it’s serum-like and lightweight, so applies really easily. 
You can also do this with different products, or even just water, depending on what your hair needs from the refresh! My hair can go limp and lose definition between washes so a gel refresh is always my fav. 
What’s your fav way to refresh your curls?
