Full Curly Puff

by Fleurzty on May 27, 2009

I find it a lot easier to get big afro puffs if I let my hair dry first before making the puff. So, I co-wash, allow my hair to dry and gather my dry hair into a puff. This method will not result in a smooth hairline as your hair has already shrunken after drying.
Instructions

Kass' Beautiful Low Maintenance Hair

by Fleurzty on May 26, 2009

I took the Naturally Curly Best of Survey and realized that at some point I changed gears. I couldn’t name too many styling products that I like or use. As a matter of fact, I had to go into my memory bank to find any styling and curl defining products that I once used. I [...]
