Giovanni Curly Girl Styling Guide

Learning to tame curly hair isn't easy and when making the switch to natural hair products, it's not always obvious which products will be best for you. We do have manufacturers to make shampoo bars in Australia specifically for curly hair but for natural styling products to suit curly hair, we're currently still looking at our USA favourite, Giovanni.

ONE - REPAIR & PROTECT CURLY HAIR WITH NATURAL PRODUCTS

Direct Leave In Weightless Moisture Conditioner from Giovanni suits all hair types, so it can be used by the whole family. Because it's weightless, it won't flatten your curls and not only nourishes the hair, it helps repair damage and doubles as a body product when you're styling.

They also make a second leave in conditioner in the FRIZZ BE GONE range from Giovanni that has the added benefit of protecting your hair from heat styling. The first one is the bigger seller, mainly because it suits everyone.

TWO - HOLD CURLY HAIR IN PLACE WITH NATURAL STYLING PRODUCTS

Define and hold your curls in place with Giovanni's LA Hold Styling Gel. This strong hold gel provides hold and shine. As a guide, use only as much as you need to provide the hold you're after to define your curls. Too much and  you will run the risk of weighing them down. While you can also get shine from this product, there's one more product you'll want to add to your curl girl natural hair styling kit for that purpose.

THREE - SMOOTHE OUT FLYAWAY CURLS WITH NATURAL STYLING PRODUCTS

Once your conditioned and defined, Giovanni's Frizz Be Gone Anti-Frizz Polishing Serum is your best friend for smoothing out any flyaway strands that haven't be defined properly with your gel. If you have skipped the leave in conditioner step, the shea butter and sweet almond oil in this polishing serum will help to add moisture to each strand.

These three steps and three different products will ensure your curly locks remain tame, moisturised and full of bounce and shine. When controlling curls, there's WILD and then there's CONTROLLED WILD! This is all you'll need for that CONTROLLED WILD look you get from the salon.
