Here’s the truth about long curls
- Think detangling is a nightmare? Try detangling waist length curls!
- Frizz at the roots, frizz at the tips. Frizz everywhere.
- The amount of product you need is ridiculous! This is even more so with deep conditioners and treatments.
- You need to stay on top of refreshing. If you skip a day of refresh, frizz will take over.
- Roots stretch and become flat easily.
- Say goodbye to heavy products. With all the extra weight your hair has, adding heavy products will further stretch your strands.
- Lightweight products will be your new best friend.

What this means for you
Enjoy your hair! Instead of wishing for someone else’s length or counting down the days until your hair is long again, embrace and enjoy every step of the journey.
The natural hair care movement is about acceptance and celebration. Enjoy the journey. Celebrate and love your hair.
Switching your focus
Focus on nourishing your curls and taking care of them. If you find yourself wishing for someone else’s curls, the best thing to do is take care of yours. Show your curls love and they’ll flourish! A practical way to care for your curls is through hair masks. Deep conditioners and repair treatments are great at getting into the strand and giving it a boost of nutrients from the inside.
