Embracing my swavy

I've met so many curly haired ladies since moving to Seattle. I'm not sure if it's simply because the straightening fad is finally over or if their curls are drawn to the PNW. My friends RB & EJ are curly haired roommates & swear by the book "Curly Girl." I quote - "it has truly changed my life." : ) 

These ladies suggested I might have swavy hair, defined as:

- hair that seems straight but could be encouraged to wave

- a natural shine

- a slight bend at the ends of your hair depending on the length

- hair that holds its shape when layered

- curls that fall vertically

- a low to no frizz factor

- a spring factor of 1 to 2 inches - (natural curl to curl pulled to it's full length)

Well, I'm inviting my introverted curls out to play. For the next week I'm going to follow the regimen outlined in the book. I'm going to:

- use a sulfate-free shampoo & conditioner
- dry my hair using microfiber towels
- apply styling mouse
- use a diffuser to blow dry my hair

I'll report back about the experiment.
