How curly hair got me thinking about faith at home

I recently discovered I have curly hair. Having brushed and blow dried my hair for 30+ years, I knew that if I left it wet it went frizzy. But after a drastic cut from mid-back length to a short bob, out popped curls!

There started a project to discover how to ‘care’ for my curls. Numerous reels, web posts and YouTube videos later, my brain was overwhelmed with the mass of complex and sometimes conflicting information and advice!

Don’t ever brush your hair.

Don’t use oils or creams.

Use this cream.

Use this shampoo.

Don’t use shampoo with silicone in.

Buy this system of products (cue remortgage price tag!).

Do a ‘0 wash’.

Clarify your hair. (Er, what?!)

Use a cotton t-shirt to dry your hair.

Put in gel while it’s wet.

Use mousse.

Use gel and then mousse.

Don’t use mousse AND gel.

Use this conditioner.

Don’t use leave in conditioner.

Buy 3 shampoos and use them in rotation.

The list went on and on, and I kept searching! (I have ADHD so once I start, it’s very hard to stop!)
