Wash Your Damn Hair REVIEWS

"Prior to the pandemic I was an exclusively heat styled natural. I was well into my 30s and never had the confidence or knowledge to know how to care for and style my hair in between silk press appointments. When the world shut down in 2020 I was forced to take matters into my own hands, literally, and was blessed to find Black Girl Curls when I did. My first attempts were rough, but armed with the Wash Your Damn Hair guide and See Some Curls, I improved with each set, gaining confidence as I went along. I now know my hair's properties and how to address my hair concerns as they arise. The ultimate compliment is when I'm out and about and people stop me to ask what products I use to style my hair and tell me they love my curls. I proudly point them in the direction of Black Girl Curls, since because of them, I love my curls too!"

"I struggled to find my natural curl pattern well over a year until I found Black Girl Curls. I now have learned how to do my hair and what to look for when adding product and styling! I was using tons of product from the Beauty Supply and Target! Now I know proper products for wash/condition and the difference application makes!

"Thee amount of time I have saved is beyond monumental! I know what's happening before I get in the shower. Oils aren't hindering the wash and conditioning process. I know how my hair will look. All statements. I am so happy I found Black Girl Curls and began to implement their strategies."

"I have thick coarse hair. It’s always been referred to as difficult, nappy, Kunta Kinte type hair. So the trepidation of going natural was real! I was encouraged by my daughter to go natural. Three years ago I was hearing whispers of two black beauticians that were upsetting the internet. I finally went to their page and did a deep nose dive. I’m an extremely skeptical person. But the proof was in the videos. More importantly they were actual beauticians! I was longing to find natural hair beauticians that could help me with my Velcro like coarse hair. I bought their first book and I was hooked! These are two well educated women that speak truth with no chaser. I did the 30 day detox and my hair health has flourished! My hair grows well despite the craziness I did to it. Hair health is completely different. I’m grateful that despite all the negative feedback these women did not stop trying to educate those who listened and were appreciative. Their drive has also caused other brands to try to do better for our hair. I’m sure many women came before them and inspired them as well. I’m just getting to the party late. "

“I started following Black Girl Curls in 2022 and my hair and personal feelings towards it has transformed tremendously! Prior to finding BGC, I was natural for a little over 10 years but I relied heavily on braids and sew ins. I hated feeling anxious about making sure I had a stylist and appointment booked every 2-3 months so I could be “presentable” to the world. Fast forward to today, I’m 100% confident in doing my wash and go’s and I’m comfortable wearing my natural hair out on a daily basis. I even have enough confidence to rock a 4 day old wash and go for my professional headshot!"
