If you’re looking to start the curly girl method, it’s easy to get overwhelmed quickly! There are so many product options, and routine options. often advise people to just jump in, rather than trying to make all the ‘perfect’ choices for your hair type from the get-go. Most of us will end up changing products and techniques as we go along and experiment with our hair.

With that in mind, I think it makes sense to start with affordable products. There are some really nice, really expensive curly girl approved products out there. You may decide that they’re worth the cost someday. When you’re new and just learning about your hair, I think it makes sense to stick with drugstore products until you get a better sense of what your hair does and doesn’t like.

This post is a CVS drugstore curly girl method starter kit for wavy hair. If you’re looking to start the curly girl method by shopping at CVS, this post has you covered!

To get started with the CGM at CVS I’d recommend buying the following:

Suave daily clarifying shampoo
Eva NYC mane magic 10-in-1 shampoo
Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Masque
Tresemme mega control hair gel level 5.

My total cost was $27 and change, but one item was on sale and I had $2 extra care bucks. At full price it would have bee around $32.

Why these products?

March 6, 2022 by Emily Evert 3 Comments

For some people, the bigger curl clumps they can get, the better. We all have different styling preferences. The size of my curl clumps isn’t something I usually focus on a whole lot, personally. However, I know that it’s something other people do strive for so I thought I’d share this information for people who want bigger curl clumps.

How To Get Big Curl Clumps

The most important factor for getting bigger curl clumps is water. Focus on getting a lot of water into your hair and then lock the style in with gel to maintain those big curl clumps as your hair dries.

Newbie Mistakes Wavy Haired People Make w/ Curly Girl Method

For some people with wavy hair, we don’t even realize our hair is wavy until we’re adults. I realized mine was wavy a few years ago. For others, they know their hair is wavy but decide to start the curly girl method (or wavy girl method, or modified curly girl method, etc) to try to really take good care of their hair and/or get the results they prefer.

Regardless of why you’re new, there are a few common mistakes that I see people with wavy hair make when starting the curly girl method, or starting to embrace their natural hair texture. I thought I’d cover some of the more common ones, so that anyone who finds this early on in their journey can get help!

Stringy Wavy Hair – Causes & Fixes

February 20, 2021 by Emily Evert 3 Comments

What Does Stringy Hair Mean?

Stringy hair is when wavy or curly hair is forming lots of really thin curl clumps rather than bigger curl clumps. Stringy hair is often more limp and less bouncy than usual.

Sometimes people use stringy hair and limp hair interchangeably. While stringy hair may also be limp, they aren’t the same thing. You can have stringy hair that is not limp, and you can have limp curls that are not stringy. So, I see them as two different things. For clarity, this blog post is specifically talking about stringy hair, not limp curls.

I have a separate post on how to fix limp wavy hair if that’s the information you were seeking.
