"Your curly hair is so pretty. How do you style it?" asks a random stranger.
"I just try not to anger the beast," I chuckle in response.
Taming my curls is a process that I am still trying to master. I have tried the Curly Girl method. I own every Deva Curl product ever created. I can scrunch and plop with the best of them. Despite many failed curly hair attempts, I actually think I am very close to mastering the process of frizz-free hydrated curls. So far, the magic answer for me involves a hair mask, lots of product in soaking wet hair, fishnets, a silk hair bonnet and sleep. Simple enough.
We have been strictly quarantining for the last year, which means no hair cuts. During that time, my 10 year son has discovered a love for growing his hair long. During that time, I have discovered that he has inherited my luscious curls. With that being shared, I have to admit that I have NO IDEA how to help him style his curly hair. He's a big fan of the wild poof. I've decided that as long as he is confident walking around looking like a mini Hugh Jackman from Wolverine, I'm not going to stress him out with style tips.
