No matter where you are on your curly journey; patience is key. Even though we know that deep down, we want our hair to do what we want… now! Frustration with curly hair is often a result of not giving our hair the time it needs to grow or adapt to new regimes. It can take longer than we want to see results, but if you keep changing it up, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.  Follow Monique on ⁠Instagram

Something curlies love to chat about online is the curly girl method, love it or hate it, it's everywhere! In this episode we dive into the CGM, and if a one size all formula will ever really work for the diverse range of curly people out there. We also chat about why so many curlies turn to online sources, like the CGM, after they have a #traumahircut.  Follow Monique on Instagram

Language is everything when it comes to hair. Many curly people are used to hearing that their hair is ‘frizzy' or ‘puffy.'

And finally- how can frizz become functional?  Follow Monique on Instagram Guide: How to Overcome Unwanted Frizz

As anyone who has gone through it knows, growing up with curly hair can be challenging. From stylists telling us our hair is weird, other kids identifying us as ‘the one with frizzy hair' and arguments with parents, it's all too familiar for curly people. How does growing up curly affect our relationship with our hair as adults? And how can we better support the next generation of curly people?  Follow Monique on Instagram
