“First a great cut, gentle trims, and color are musts for maintaining my hair,” she says. Since the pandemic she has worked with two “fabulous” hair people who make house calls. Coco, a curly friendly hairstylist, for major cuts and trims, once a year taking off inches and inches., so the hair will grow in more healthy with more abundant curls that help with the volume on the base of the hair, how the volume lifts the hair. Rocco Barbetto gives a 1 process color with painted highlights.
“Keeping my hair healthy is key,” adding “less is more.” Her naturally curly hair can have wavy or super curly textures and the effect of hair painting enables a natural curly look. Some types of styling products inhibit her natural curls from forming so she doesn’t use a gel, mousse, curl enhancing styling products or hairspray but, sometimes, reaches for a curling conditioner instead of a regular one.
The girl with curls washes her hair once a week with a good shampoo and conditioner, which doesn’t leave residue. She uses conditioners, some with essential oils, to texturize her hair. Brigitte wets her hair in the shower daily, adds conditioner, leaving a bit of conditioner in the hair, A hydrating conditioner works better than a leave-in. one, which can ignite lots of fine hairs going everywhere. The hair is gently towel-dried then air dried for about an hour.
To get overall volume, she then turns her hair upside down, gets her hands under the hair, close to the scalp, making sure the curls and ends of the hair on her shoulders are finger-brushed out (not the hairs around her face) then she gently squeezes the curls with the palms of her hands, twice, before flipping the hair back for volume and curls.
A spritz of water or a leave-in conditioner can refresh after a day or two and she often uses a mask for curly hair. Different conditioners are used for different textured looks, especially on hot/humid/windy days. Hair as amazing as this doesn’t just happen …
