Are you ready to embrace to your curls?

It’s makes a difference when you are!

If you aren’t, what we have to teach you may not help you to embrace them,
… BUT when you are ready we will be here waiting to help you learn. 🥹💛

Have you been curious about our studio? Curious to see what we do? This is why we offer a Curl Discovery session. It’s our version of a tutorial with a wash and style.

These two did a great job with @jessiijwalker ‘s curls! They got to really know her curls, learned more tricks to styling and how to get the most out of her curl. My favorite thing- even though she was our model they taught her about HER curls and what she needed to do at home to get similar results. They can’t wait to get their hands on more of these gorgeous curls!

Let’s breakdown the curl type chart and make it less scary and confusing.

Numbers: 1,2,3,4 are the pattern- wavy, curly, coily, kinky
1- Straight
2- Wavy
3- Curly
4- Coily/Kinky
(Though I so think there should be a type 5 for Kinky)

Letters: A,B,Care the tightness of the pattern with A being the loosest, and C being the tightest. (I also think there should be a D & E)
A- Loose
B- Medium
C- Tight

Not too complicated right? 🙂

How many types of curl are there?

Curls can be broken down into 4 general categories:
•Wavy
•Curly
•Coily
•Kinky

The shape of your curl is determined by the shape of your hair follicle.

Straight hair comes out from a round hair follicle (think circle). Wavy/Curly/Coily hair comes from a oval or curved hair follicle (think football). Kinky hair comes from a flatter hair follicle (think fettuccini pasta). Again this is a very broad explaination, but it’s kinda fun to know about.

Again, these are 4 general categories but there are sooo many types of curl and each affected by it’s surrounding environment.

Thank you to @curlykp for posting this last curly girl 💛 your work is amazing! 💛💛💛

This is probably our most asked topic- CURL TYPES.

This is probably our most asked topic- CURL TYPES. The most asked question that you also might have in your mind “what is my curl type?”

🚨🚨🚨Disclaimer🚨🚨🚨One thing I cannot stress enough- Curl type is not the sole factor in determining what type of products or routine you need for your curls- so much more goes into this and affects your curl type- porosity, spring factor, coarseness, density, environment/humidity, even lifestyle.

NOW before we dive into this topic this is a question we want to answer for first- what is Curl Type?

Curl Type is the pattern of your curls. Some Curlies have only 1 curl type where others can have multiple curl types on their head.

Why is Curl Type Important? How does it help you?

• Helps your curl specialist to determine what shapes can work with your curls and can also give them an idea of the outcome.

• Can help you find a routine.

• Helps you to know your spring factor-wavy vs coily curls have very different spring factors.

•Can help you know what to do and what not to do.

• Helps you to connect with other Curlies who’s curls is similar.

Curl type is not everything- it’s a small piece to a very large puzzle BUt it’s the one thing everyone wants to know.

We’re looking for a few models with curl types 3

We’re looking for a few models with curl types 3C and 4! DM me for more info and please send us a pic of your curls :)

✨Curl Diagnosis✨ Curl Type: 3B/3C Spring fac

✨Curl Diagnosis✨

Curl Type: 3B/3C
Spring factor: 4-5 inches
Density: Thick
Porosity: Low
Coarseness: medium

This curl type needs hydration and lots of it.
Important things to consider:

• Keep clear of heavy heavy products- though it seems like a good idea to use all the coconut oil and shea butter- if not properly diluted or refined it can cause create build up around the cuticle layer of the hair and starve the hair from receiving moisture which causes frizz, brittleness, dryness and breakage ***If you do use heavy products- consider clarifying every month at least to help keep your curls clean***

•The curls should be able to go 3 days down (at least) and then the next days after up in a bun or even styled… if you refresh the frizzy pieces you can even go more days

• Water is key! Make sure you are working in your conditioner and consistently adding water while doing it as your curls will drink up all the water it receives.

• Product is best applied when raking through, if it feels like product is not going in, add in a few drops of water (again, your hair is drinking up all the water so you need to make sure you keep it hydrated as you style it :)

Did you know McCall is a color specialist?
Here are a couple things about color & curls:
1- Professional color will not ruin your curls
2- You can go blonde and still have good curls- the trick is to find someone who will keep your hair health in mind.
3- If you have loose curls, color can help increase texture.

This was one. of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made, we are so excited!

Curly kids! The trickiest of all time- why?

1) Their hair changes as they grow
2) when they’re little their hair is so fine “baby fine hair” which means it’s more prone to tangles, breakage

What do you do?
Find products that work for their hair- think lightweight but hydrating (heavy products will only weigh their hair down and possibly coat the outside making the tangling worse)

Condition to help detangling and then detangle- I like using a wet brush because it has flexible bristles which bend making it less painful when getting through those tough tangles.

Similar to curly hair, there is no “YOU MUST DO IT LIKE THIS”. With kids, it’s you do what you’ve gotta do- find what works.

Didn’t she do an amazing job?! Just because you want shape, it doesn’t mean you have to lose length, you can keep your length and have a shape to compliment your face shape, curl type and lifestyle!

Who else lives for long hair??

What amazing plans do you have for today?

This last week was so busy and next week will also be busy at My Curly Stylist so today we’re taking the day to rest, relax and recoup.

Definition and hold… what the difference is! This is always fun especially when doing a transformation I picked a client who just wanted a trim so her length was about the same but the difference is the definition in her curls.

Hold you’ll definitely see more as you go throughout your day or throughout several days. If your curls fall out quickly you may need a product with more hold. If your curls last and more or less keep their lift you might have a great product ❤️
Here are some of my favorite products

What types of curls have we done?

Most if not all curl types. Do we get the super curly curls all the time? No.

Why? Because we live in Utah and for a while there was quite a lack of curl diversity but it’s slowly been changing so I’m super excited to see more super curly Curlies coming in- I love these curl types.

Is it different than cutting the looser curls? yes to a degree.

Do we approach things differently? Yes, more so with how we hold the curls when we cut, but as far as cutting first then washing- that stays the same.

This is one of my dearest clients! I love having you in @sadyaae. I have this pic from when we first took you short and I loved it!!! ♥️ you just have awesome hair girl! ❤️❤️❤️

True or false: You should never brush curly hair.

True or false: You should never brush curly hair.

Well it’s half and half….
Why it’s true: You should never brush curly hair DRY.
Why it’s false: You can brush curly hair BUT it should only be brushed when your hair is wet with conditioner in it. Even then, start from the bottom and work your way up.

For detangling I love using a wet brush- the bristles bend so they don’t pull on the hair. This is perfect if you have thick hair or even fine hair.

I know there are Curlies who love using a Denman brush to help create a certain type of curl- while it’s not my favorite, it has helped some Curlies get that “perfect” curl more consistently.

What if I told you you could spend less time actively diffusing and still get dry?

I know for many of you, wash day is either Sunday, Monday, Wednesday or Thursday and with all this cold weather it’s hard to let your hair air dry.

So here’s a tip- you’ll still apply your styling products like normal, towel dry, add your clips or picks to lift your roots, spray in a little hairspray (I LOVE I Create Finish by @innersenseorganicbeauty) to help speed up your curl casting and dry time, let your curls air dry for 15-20 minutes (enough time to create a cast and maybe even apply makeup or get dressed? 😉) THEN diffuse.

Instead of actively diffusing for 30-45 minutes or air drying for 3 hours you cut your active dry time to about 10-15 minutes… 20 minutes max if you have super thick hair.

The cast is the key to this working- it also helps to reduce frizz while diffusing.
