Remember to use friction when
you are cleansing your scalp,
and to keep the cleanser on
the scalp area only. The ends
of your hair don’t get dirty and
the cleanser will run down the
lengths of your hair when you
rinse. Scrub for two minutes.

If you have very dry hair and

you will be alternating using
conditioner as a what I call a
conditioning wash. It is the
same as the before men-

to the scrubbing and rinsing.

Type 2 Wavy Hair

My hair is a 2a, like Joss
Stone and 2b like If you have type 2 wavy hair
Sandra Oh has a definite “s” pattern and
curls in that “s” shape laying
flat on the scalp and does
not jump off the scalp. There
are sub categories of 2, 2a is
fine and thin and easy to
handle with little or no frizz.
2b and 2c are more resistant
to styling and have a ten-
dency to frizz. If you have
2a, you just SOTC, and add
some hairspray if you like. If
you are a 2b or 2c depend-

scrunch the ends to finish.
This should remove any
crunch in the hair and break
up your curly cast. If you like

Jessica’s hair is a 2 a Type 3 Curly Hair

This type of curly hair has a
definite spiral pattern, loopy
like a stretched out slinky.
This type is fine and baby
soft, there is just a lot of it.
There are two types of curly
hair. 3a, hair that is loose
and curled like Julia Roberts
and Susan Sarandon, shiny
and with big curls, the longer
the hair the more defined the
curls. 3b has bouncy ringlets
like Shirley Temple. It is not
unusual to find the two sub
types on one head. My hair
is a 2 on top and a 3a from
the occipital down and the
longer my hair gets the more
it spirals. 3b(sidewalk chalk
or salt shaker circumference)
& 3c( straw or pencil circum-
ference) hair needs extra
moisture, products that de-
fine curls and fight frizz. This
hair needs to air dry. Or you
can use a diffuser. A satin
pillowcase is recommended.
3 What to use.
Deep treatments every two
weeks till your hair is hy-
drated and then, once a
month.
