Will you believe me if I tell you that I have written several versions of this ‘new post after a long time that has to explain why and what next’ only to abandon it? After writing, I would usually swing between the next shiny distraction (that gave me just enough dopamine to feel like I’m accomplishing ‘something’), and despair at having failed again. Cue self-shame, relentless chastising, and a refusal to knock heads with the realization that I can’t continue blogging like I used to because I am no longer that person in many ways. Hair had been such a mysterious thing to grapple with for so l ..read more

Years ago, I never imagined there would come a day when I would be this spoilt for choice in curly hair Indian products. I can one day choose from not only one but MANY local, Indian brands for curly hair. I discovered the world of the Curly Girl Method (*modified) many years back when I was still in college. All I could find then were expensive international products ? Clearly, things have changed, and you, reader, if you are new to the curly world, are SO lucky! I’m so glad I can make a list (LIST!!!) of curly hair products in India that cater specifically to people like you and me who need ..read more

Recently, I came across a dm on my Instagram which requested details for hairstylists in Bengaluru that were comfortable and skilled with styling naturally wavy and curly hair.
I know this is a big struggle, especially in India.
The go-to solution for all brides is to get their hair straightened so it looks sleek and elegant during important functions and weddings.
Even if you want to be natural, there are hardly any stylists and salons that won’t offer keratin treatments to make it easier to style or expect several hours of blow drying it straight.
This is not to disparage any curly or wavy b ..read more

Not everyone can experiment by buying multiple products without worrying about their wallet.
That’s why I want to make this confusing and overwhelming part of a Curly Hair Routine or a Wavy Hair Routine easy for you.
When you finish this article, you will be able to leave with exactly how many and what kind of p ..read more

Hey there, I’m Pallavi, your curly hair coach. Welcome to my blog where I show you how to reduce frizz and get beautiful, healthy natural hair. Today’s post is for you if you want to learn how to brush curly hair the right way.
Chances are if you have grown up with dry or frizzy hair, you would have had long sessions with your mom who’d struggle to comb or brush your hair. I remember I hated getting my hair combed because it would hurt a lot.
The thing about hair like ours that is wavy or curly is that combing and brushing it dry daily is a mistake.
Even with oils, it leaves us with poofy, fr ..read more
