Step One: Pick your products wisely for girls with natural curls.
Maya applied over 2 decades of research and development based on working knowledge of hair texture and listening to what people wanted.
“I created The Doux™ SUCKA FREE Moisturizing Shampoo and FRESH RINSE Moisturizing Conditioner as the one-two step that delivers both deep cleaning plus exceptional nourishment necessary for styling.”
It’s now available in Target stores and the full product line is available online at www.thedoux.com.
Step Two: Prep for shampoo.
Maya’s professional instructions for curl mastery begin with rinsing hair thoroughly with water for a minimum of 30 seconds.
“This helps to eliminate any water-soluble product buildup, such as hair gel or heat protectant. It also helps you save shampoo!
Assuming you’re shampooing in the shower, letting the water run over the hair in a downward motion helps prevent further tangling, and allows the hair shaft to swell and the curl pattern to fully rebound.”
For those with extremely thick hair, Maya suggests separating hair into 4 sections prior to wetting the hair for increased manageability.
Once the shampoo is applied, Maya recommends light manipulation at the scalp, going from the crown of the head to the nape of the neck.
