i had no idea i have actual curly hair! 🥺

these products are repairing my hair on a whole other level!!! i usually don’t buy “mainstream/trendy” products because they are over hyped but this is what my hair stylist used so it’s salon approved!!

my hair hasn’t been this curly in a while, i almost forgot what my pattern looked like. i’m so thankful for these products and a very good hair stylist to educate me while bringing my hair back to life 🥹

i almost cried about the results because as a mixed girl i always heard different people telling me different ways to care for my hair. i never actually figured it out until now. low prosperity hair that’s curly needs to be watered like a plant!! join me on my hair journey 🧚🏽🧚🏽

products:

k18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask

k18 molecular repair hair mist

continuous spray bottle

innersense i create hold gel

kerestase 8H magic night serum

... Read moreUnderstanding and embracing curly hair can be a transformative experience, especially when you finally discover your natural curl pattern. For a long time, I didn’t realize I had true curly hair until I started using salon-approved products recommended by my hair stylist. These products included the K18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask and mist, along with Innersense I Create Hold Gel and Kérastase 8H Magic Night Serum. What truly amazed me was how these treatments slowly but surely repaired my hair, restoring its natural vitality and bounce. One important insight I gained is that curly hair, especially low porosity types often found in mixed-race hair, requires consistent hydration. Much like a plant, it needs regular watering to thrive. Using a continuous spray bottle to keep my hair moisturized throughout the day made a significant difference. The molecular repair technology in K18 products works deep inside the hair’s cortex to mend keratin chains broken by damage, which traditional conditioners cannot reach. Also, trusting a knowledgeable hair stylist who understands curly and textured hair is key. I was fortunate to have a stylist who educated me on proper hair care techniques instead of just selling me trends. Learning how to properly detangle, avoid harsh sulfates, and seal in moisture improved my daily routine. Before my hair repair journey, my curls were undefined and dry. Now, the transformation is undeniable—I have vibrant, soft curls with a distinct pattern I barely recognized before. Celebrating this newfound identity has boosted my confidence and appreciation for the privilege of healthy hair. For anyone on a similar path, I highly recommend investing in quality, repairing products and seeking expert advice tailored to your hair’s unique needs. Remember, patience is essential; hair repair doesn’t happen overnight but with diligence, your natural curls can flourish beautifully.
