Welcome to Red Carpet Curls

Dear Reade r, Welcome! I am so happy to be able to finally bring this site to you! This is literally a culmination of months and months of insane research to really understand the science behind everything I do. I wanted nothing more than to share that knowledge with you all and create an all in one website! So, here it is! This blog focuses on the Curly Girl Method, if you don't know what that is just check out the post "What is the Curly Girl Method," for clarification.  Every week, I will be adding new articles, so if you don't see what you are looking for just contact me and I'll let you know if there's an article for it, if not I will personally write it up for you.

This really tested my patience, I was doing the type of research as if I was still doing those twenty-five page papers in college! But I was on a quest for the truth and that is wha...

Humectants

Ah, the wonderfully complicated world of humectants. This is really where knowledge is power, because if you know the proper times of year and situations to use these ingredients it can ensure either the best hair days you could possibly dream of, or the worst nightmare of your existence!

Everything You Need to Know About Hair Porosity (Including Tips for High and Low Porosity)

Photo Credit: Google Understanding your hair's porosity is by far one of the most valuable pieces of information you can possess when it comes to the health of your crown. Porosity dictates the pattern in which your hair absorbs and loses moisture. This will be invaluable when it comes time to pick the right products for your mane. Always remember, your hair is unique, your body chemistry, your genes, elements you are exposed to are all unique to you. This is why I always advise all new followers and fans to never compare your hair to someone else's, even your own family! (DNA is unique to each person, yes you share some DNA with family but you will still have unique features and chemistry.) I also always say, when introducing yourself to the Curly Girl Method, the first thing you should do is look up porosity and figure out which porosity your hair is, because in the long run this will save you SO much money and time! I know every fellow product junkie reading this arti...
