As hairdressers re-open in the UK tomorrow, and ho As hairdressers re-open in the UK tomorrow, and hopefully other countries over the next few weeks, my new blog post AND YouTube video is on how to get the best haircut for curly hair. 

Whether your hair is long or short, curly or wavy. These simple tips work for any hair length, curl pattern or texture. To help you achieve the exact cut, length, shape and style you want. Whether it's a DIY cut at home, or in-salon with a curl specialist or regular stylist.

These tips will help you communicate with confidence to your hair stylist. Understand what's realistic and achievable for YOUR hair length, curl type, pattern, density and texture. What to ask for and what to avoid. What shapes, cuts and layers work best for different hair lengths. How much damage you should cut off and whether you need to get a dry curl by curl cut or if a wet cut is okay. And if you should get a cut by a curl specialist or regular stylist.

I cannot believe how long my hair is! And so HEALT I cannot believe how long my hair is! And so HEALTHY! The shape has grown out really well too since I got it cut and coloured in September with @laurashairspace 

I'm my very own hair goals of what I wanted my hair to look like back when I started this journey almost 4 years ago. Never, ever in a million years did I think my hair would look like this again after years of the heat and colour damage I'd put it though. I could barely get a wave going in my hair, never mind a curl! 

So if you're feeling overhwhlemed, frustrated, losing hope and feel like giving up...don't! 

Ps. Check out my stories from today for all my washday chats, what I used, products, routines, blog posts, YouTube videos and IGTV's for more information.

My hairdresser, @laurashairspace has opened up her My hairdresser, @laurashairspace has opened up her booking list! Based in Galway City Centre, Laura is an incredibly talented hairdresser, who specialises in curly hair. She's been cutting and colouring waves, curls and natural textured hair for 20 years. Building up experience, education, courses, styles and different cutting techniques to create a style that's completely tailored to YOUR  hair, curl pattern, length and shape goals. 

That's what I love most about Laura's technique, it's a blend of everything she's learned and all her experience, rather than a cookie-cutter style cut for curl patterns and textures. Because everyone's hair is different: the wave or curl pattern, what look, length and shape you want, your lifestyle etc. She uses some of my favourite products for wavy and curly hair such as @innersenseorganicbeauty @boucleme and @joicoireland and often follows my Curl Maven Method with clients who want to focus on the health of their hair and get their waves and curls back.

I drive a 4 hour round trip to see her and can't recommend her highly enough! So you're in safe hands when you're in her chair. Laura's talent is matched only by her passion. She's such a lovely person with a beautiful soul and I'm so proud to call her my friend now too. So far we've yet to have a phone call under an hour, but most times it's two! 

Laura has opened up her booking list to new and existing clients for when hairdressers and salons are back open in the coming months. Email laurabookings@outlook.ie with your Name, Phone Number, whether you're an existing or new client (you can tell her I sent you), and what service you require whether it's a cut or colour etc.

Give her a follow if you're not already, pop her an email and don't forget to tell her I sent you xx

Thank you to anyone who listened to me talking to Thank you to anyone who listened to me talking to @louisemcsharry on her show on @rte2fm this morning. If you missed it live you can listen back online. 

Here's some pictures of some of the things we spoke about. The first and third pictures is my hair right after I've broken the gel cast on my hair, or "scrunched out the crunch" aka SOTC. 

The second and fourth pictures is my hair with those crunchy, crispy curls that's actually a good thing. It's from the gel, forming on my curls to set and hold them. But you can't break that gel cast until the hair is completely dry! 

Then there's THAT picture Louise mentioned! My hair before I started my healthy, curly hiar journey. This was actually a good hair day for me back then. When I'd damaged my hair beyond all curl recognition and could barely get a wave, and even that didn't stick around longer than a few hours on wash day! 

Fast forward three years to the part picture. My curls, definition, health and shine are back! 

How did I do it? By focusing on the HEALTH of my hair. It's the core of what my Curl Maven Method is, focus on the HEALTH and the waves, curls, definition, shine and growth will all come. 

Click the link in my bio to go to mh website where you can read my tips, advice, techniques, reviews and product recommendations and favourites. 

I also hold free Monthly Curl Clinics the first Wednesday of every month at 7pm on Instagram Live. And run private consultations, 1:1 Curl Clinics, throughout the month. If you want a bespoke product recommendation and routine specifically tailored to suit your hair, budget and hair goals. The link for that is in my bio too.

I hope that helps, and if your hair is looking like that second last picture, I hope you find the inspo you need to start your healthy hair journey to get your waves and curls back and I'd love to be a part of that journey. 

Thanks for having me Louise! X

Get up to 30% off TréLuxe!

If you’ve been following me for a while, or read my recent TréLuxe review, you’ll know I’ve fallen in love with the products from this brand. So in today’s post I’m sharing some incredible deals and discount codes, where you can get up to 30% off TréLuxe during the upcoming sales! So keep reading for all the details, a mini review of each product. As well as a styling routine video using my favourite two TréLuxe products!

AD | This post and corresponding video is sponsored by TréLuxe. Sponsored content enables me to continue providing free content, create organic content and keep my blog free from Google Ads. However, this hasn’t influenced the way I’ve written about the brand or the products featured in this post. Some items were gifted, other items I have purchased (repeatedly) for myself.

Overview

TréLuxe has a curated line of five products formulated with natural ingredients and active botanical blends to cleanse, moisturize, strengthen and define wavy, curly and coily hair. You can read my full review here for more about the founders, brand philosophy and origins. The packaging is easy to use and instantly recognizable. I love the simplicity of them, it’s not a complicated line: cleanse, condition and style. All formulated with a good balance of protein and moisture – which you can read more about here.

Curly Girl Friendly

Curly girl friendly, they’re free from sulfates, silicones, parabens, waxes, harsh chemicals and drying alcohols. As well as being gluten-free and cruelty free. If I could use one word to sum up their line, it would be weightless. I’ve been using their styling products since the Spring/Summer of this year and they’ve quickly become my favourite products for curls, clumps, ringlets, definition, shine and hold! I mean, what more could you ask for?! Oh, maybe to get up to 30% off TréLuxe? I got you!

Mini Reviews

Curl Renew & Restore Gentle Cleansing Rinse

A sulfate-free, low-lathering cleanser, Curl Renew & Restore is the most light-weight cleanser I’ve yet to try. For fine hair that gets easily weighed down, this would be perfect! It also contains protein, great for providing strength and structure to the hair.

treluxe discount code

Untie the Knot Nourishing Leave In Conditioner

The only conditioner from TréLuxe, Untie the Knot is great at smoothing and detangling. Providing the hair with moisture, hydration and slip. Nourishing, but still really light weight. A good balance of protein and lightweight moisture, and glycerin-free.

Curl Supreme 4-1 Hydrating Cream

For those of you who like to use a styling cream, Curl Supreme moisturizes, protects, and fortifies hair strands. While also providing a soft, supple hold. Providing hydration and moisture to your curls, coils, and protective styles. Thick, rich and smooth – you only need the smallest amount applied to wet hair. A little goes a long way!

Reflex Curl Styling Serum

Reflex Serum, or as I like to say, ringlets in a bottle! Designed to smooth, elongate, and define curls and waves. A lightweight formula that won’t weigh the hair down. Glycerin free, with a good balance of protein and moisture. You don’t need a lot, and it plays well with other products too. It’s a bold statement to make, but no other product gives my hair spirals and ringlets anything like this! It’s definitely a game-changer in my styling routine.

Hi! Definition Curl Enhancer Styling Gel

My favourite gel of all time and my Product of the Year for 2020, TréLuxe Hi! Definition Gel! The consistency is somewhere between a gel, a custard, a jelly and a purée. Great at enhancing curls and creating clumps. Providing long-lasting curl definition, as well as shine. Enough protein to define, enhance and tighten natural curl patterns. Combined with enough moisture to give hydrated, frizz-free, juicy ringlets and curl clumps, and lots of shine! This gel is also glycerin free, perfect if you live in an environment with lots of humidity.

Finally! If you’ve been listening to me banging on about my love for the TréLuxe Reflex Serum and Hi! Definition Gel, but wonder HOW I apply my styling products. Then you’ll definitely want to check out this video. My curly hair styling routine using TréLuxe! There’s some slick slo-mo’s, so you can really see the techniques I use to enhance the ringlets and curl definition I get from using these two TréLuxe styling products. I hope you find it helpful, enjoy!

      TréLuxe only ships within the US and Canada. For the UK/EU, check out Naturalistic Products, House of Curls UK and Kiyo Beauty. However, they sell out fast, and I don’t have a discount code for them I’m afraid.

    Hi Gabriella! How would you say the ReFlex serum compares to the Innersense I Create Lift foam? Is it more moisturizing? (Thinking about switching to a styling product with more moisture for the winter, but my hair really likes the protein in Innersense.)

    Reply
    • admin says

      15/01/2021 at 5:12 pm

      Hmmm….I would say they’re completely different. Innersense I Create Lift Volumizing Foam is a lightweight foam that adds texture and volume, with some definition and minimal hold. TréLuxe Reflex Curl Styling Serum is a serum that enhances and defines curls and ringlets, with medium hold. They don’t do the same thing. From what you’ve described that you’re looking for, then I’d definitely suggest switching to the Reflex Serum. However, if you really love the Innersense foam, then just leave more of your conditioner in your hair, helping your hair to stay more hydrated and moisturized until the next wash day. Hope all that helps x

I cannot believe how long my hair is! And so HEALT I cannot believe how long my hair is! And so HEALTHY! The shape has grown out really well too since I got it cut and coloured in September with @laurashairspace 

I'm my very own hair goals of what I wanted my hair to look like back when I started this journey almost 4 years ago. Never, ever in a million years did I think my hair would look like this again after years of the heat and colour damage I'd put it though. I could barely get a wave going in my hair, never mind a curl! 

So if you're feeling overhwhlemed, frustrated, losing hope and feel like giving up...don't! 

Ps. Check out my stories from today for all my washday chats, what I used, products, routines, blog posts, YouTube videos and IGTV's for more information.

My hairdresser, @laurashairspace has opened up her My hairdresser, @laurashairspace has opened up her booking list! Based in Galway City Centre, Laura is an incredibly talented hairdresser, who specialises in curly hair. She's been cutting and colouring waves, curls and natural textured hair for 20 years. Building up experience, education, courses, styles and different cutting techniques to create a style that's completely tailored to YOUR  hair, curl pattern, length and shape goals. 

That's what I love most about Laura's technique, it's a blend of everything she's learned and all her experience, rather than a cookie-cutter style cut for curl patterns and textures. Because everyone's hair is different: the wave or curl pattern, what look, length and shape you want, your lifestyle etc. She uses some of my favourite products for wavy and curly hair such as @innersenseorganicbeauty @boucleme and @joicoireland and often follows my Curl Maven Method with clients who want to focus on the health of their hair and get their waves and curls back.

I drive a 4 hour round trip to see her and can't recommend her highly enough! So you're in safe hands when you're in her chair. Laura's talent is matched only by her passion. She's such a lovely person with a beautiful soul and I'm so proud to call her my friend now too. So far we've yet to have a phone call under an hour, but most times it's two! 

Laura has opened up her booking list to new and existing clients for when hairdressers and salons are back open in the coming months. Email laurabookings@outlook.ie with your Name, Phone Number, whether you're an existing or new client (you can tell her I sent you), and what service you require whether it's a cut or colour etc.

Give her a follow if you're not already, pop her an email and don't forget to tell her I sent you xx

Thank you to anyone who listened to me talking to Thank you to anyone who listened to me talking to @louisemcsharry on her show on @rte2fm this morning. If you missed it live you can listen back online. 

Here's some pictures of some of the things we spoke about. The first and third pictures is my hair right after I've broken the gel cast on my hair, or "scrunched out the crunch" aka SOTC. 

The second and fourth pictures is my hair with those crunchy, crispy curls that's actually a good thing. It's from the gel, forming on my curls to set and hold them. But you can't break that gel cast until the hair is completely dry! 

Then there's THAT picture Louise mentioned! My hair before I started my healthy, curly hiar journey. This was actually a good hair day for me back then. When I'd damaged my hair beyond all curl recognition and could barely get a wave, and even that didn't stick around longer than a few hours on wash day! 

Fast forward three years to the part picture. My curls, definition, health and shine are back! 

How did I do it? By focusing on the HEALTH of my hair. It's the core of what my Curl Maven Method is, focus on the HEALTH and the waves, curls, definition, shine and growth will all come. 

Click the link in my bio to go to mh website where you can read my tips, advice, techniques, reviews and product recommendations and favourites. 

I also hold free Monthly Curl Clinics the first Wednesday of every month at 7pm on Instagram Live. And run private consultations, 1:1 Curl Clinics, throughout the month. If you want a bespoke product recommendation and routine specifically tailored to suit your hair, budget and hair goals. The link for that is in my bio too.

I hope that helps, and if your hair is looking like that second last picture, I hope you find the inspo you need to start your healthy hair journey to get your waves and curls back and I'd love to be a part of that journey. 

Thanks for having me Louise! X

I'm going to be on the radio again! This time I'll I'm going to be on the radio again! This time I'll be talking to @louisemcsharry on @rte2fm tomorrow (Sunday) at 9:40am all about hair, 2021 hair trends, hair care, curly hair, healthy hair and more I'm sure. This one is LIVE so wish me luck! 

I've popped a count down in my stories if you want to set yourself a reminder. If you're outside Ireland you can listen online, and I'll share the recording/podcast once it's up.

I'm so excited for this one, I've followed Louise for years and she's one of the coolest, soundest people on Instagram and we've always has grwag chars and conversations. 

We actually did an Instagram Live together a few weeks ago if you want to check that out on my IGTV - it was a lot of fun and we talked about a lot of different stuff.

Let me know if you'll be tuning in, or if you see this after Sunday morning, let me know what you thought! 

Argh so excited! I'm so incredibly grateful and thankful for this opportunity. To be on national radio once is amazing, to be on two shows in two weeks! So thank you for being a part of that and helping me become who I am. X
AD | Curly hair products and routines for children AD | Curly hair products and routines for children is something I get asked about all the time. Today I went through Éabha's wash day routine on stories. After lots of experimenting, I've finally found a routine that consistently works well for her hair. The key is to keep it simple, with a focus on hydration and detangling. 

Giovanni is the best range of budget-friendly products I've found, we use the Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo and Conditioner. Already super affordable, you can get 20% off @lookfantastic using code CURLMAVEN. There's also the Smooth As Silk and 50/50 Balanced ranges, but we've found the Tea Tree one the best for Éabha's hair. 

The Denman Paddle Brush is a M U S T if you have kids! It glides through knots and detangles her hair like nothing else. Just make sure their has plenty of conditioner AND WATER in it before using a brush to make sure there's no tears on wash day. If their hair is really dry or particularly knotty, get the Matrix Biolage Hydrasource Conditioner instead. Again, super affordable already, but you can also get 20% off using code CURLMAVEN. Or for ultimate budget-busting and detangling, get the 1100ml tub which lasts us almost 2 years in this house! 

And finally, styling. If you've got toddlers, leaving in a little conditioner will be enough. You don't need to think about styling products until they start going to school really. Bouclème Gels are my favourite for kids, as they're really light weight, moisturizing enough to keep their hair healthy, hydrated, shiny and detangled. We use the Bouclème Super Hold Styler, but if your kid's hair is finer, or wavier - the Bouclème Curl Defining Gel may work better. You can get 20% off Bouclème @lookfantastic using code CURLMAVEN. 

I hope that helps, but if you have any questions just pop them in the comments below. Would you like to see more curly hair content for children? If so, what do you want to see, or know?
