context
What’s the curly method?
It is a hair care method that is based on a bunch of principles that promote the acceptance of natural (curly) hair through the use of more natural, organic and healthy products and styling techniques. It is popular mostly among curly patterns, though it can be beneficial for every hair type or pattern.
