Are you craving easy-to-care-for, frizz free curls?
Are you tired of planning your days around your curly hair care or paying too much for expensive hair products?
Do you want to start your curly hair journey, but find the sheer amount of information to be confusing and/or overwhelming?
The No-Stress Guide to Curly Hair Care simplifies and personalizes curly hair care so you can have fabulous hair without the struggle, stress, and overwhelm.
I’ve been where you are!
I battled my frizzy curly hair for years. I paid way too much for one expensive product because I was convinced it was the only thing that worked.
And when I stumbled upon the curly hair care corner of the internet, it took me months to work up the courage to start my curly hair journey and really commit, largely because the rules and information were all a little overwhelming.
In the end, I’m SO GLAD I went ahead and took the plunge.
But that doesn’t mean it came without some bumps in the road.
Two years later, my naturally curly hair has never looked better and it’s never been easier to care for.
Early on, I got caught up and bogged down in the “rules” I came across online. I got frustrated by recurring problems that I just couldn’t seem to solve.
When I read the Curly Girl Handbook for the first time a few months into my hair journey, I was blown away by how simple curly hair care could be. But the Handbook didn’t solve every problem for me and it didn’t fully guide me through my curly hair journey the way I needed.
Over the years, I fine-tuned my hair care routine to fit my own life by blending the philosophy of the Curly Girl Handbook, additional research, and my own trial and error, to create the approach you see on this blog today.
I found that it’s very possible to keep curly hair care as simple as possible and have INCREDIBLE curls!
Through that process, I learned:
- How to simplify curly hair care to meet my needs
- How to have killer, reliable, frizz-free curls
- How to listen to my hair and give it what it needs
- How to solve all my hair and scalp problems one at a time
- How to stick with my curly hair journey without it completely ruling my life
And so much more!
The things I’ve discovered completely revolutionized and simplified how my hair routine and care for my curly hair.
And now I want to share all of these things with you!
It took me about a year to feel like I really got my curly hair care routine down. I created this guide to help you get there in a fraction of the time!

Some FAQs:
Is this a replacement for the Curly Girl Handbook?
No. This Guide references the Handbook, but does not recreate it. It features my own research, experiences, and philosophies, and covers topics I wish I knew more about in the early days of my curly hair journey.
Additionally, the Handbook is written in conjunction with a hair professional, which I am not. The Handbook covers a wide variety of other curly hair topics and facts that this Guide does not cover (such as, how to cut your own hair).
Can I buy this Guide without reading the Handbook?
If you’d like to, sure. I designed this Guide to be step-by-step and comprehensive. I also developed it because as much as I loved the Handbook, I found there were some places it fell short and I had to navigate on my own. But still, the Handbook is referenced several times throughout the Guide and it would probably be a good idea to at least check it out of your local library if you can.
Is there information in the Guide I can get for free on the blog?
Some of it, yes. It would be impossible to write a comprehensive curly hair guide without some information that overlaps with what you already see on the blog. But this Guide offers deeper instruction and explanation and guides you through your curly hair journey in a way a blog post just can’t do.
If I learned anything reading the Curly Girl Handbook, it’s that one-off blog posts and videos are no replacement for organized information that builds off of each other.
How fast and easy is this really going to be?
I can’t give you a concrete timeline. Everyone’s hair is different, and while this guide will get you to your best curls faster and easier than if you go at it alone, it’s not a quick fix. It will take some trial and error on your part.
But you’ll be able to learn from my approach, gain a better understanding of your hair, and adapt the solid curly hair routine that’s featured to fit your unique hair and lifestyle. Thanks to my experience, research, and philosophy, you’ll be able to do all of this faster and easier than if you don’t have the guide.
I’m not new to my curly hair journey, but I’m still having some issues. Will this guide help me?
You’re probably going to be better off with Curly Hair Problems!
This is the second guide in this series designed for curlies who are deeper into their curly hair journey, but still having some issues. Curly Hair Problems! covers the top five most common curly hair problems and offers a total of 78 solutions, so ideally, you’ll be able to find one (or a combination) that will work for your specific hair type and lifestyle.
You can learn more about that here!
$19.99 ($37.99) may seem like a low price for all you’re getting–especially compared to other online guides and courses that can cost upwards of $150, but there’s a reason behind this:
I think simple, fabulous curls should be accessible to everyone with curly hair.
I’m hoping this affordable price helps more curlies ease into their curly hair journey and develop a sustainable version that meets individual needs and lasts in the long run.
This price is basically the cost of two drugstore products. (And since you can revisit it over and over, it’ll never run out!)
If you’re ready to create low stress, reliably fabulous curls, you can start now!
Don’t forget, if you purchase before the clock runs out, you can get the bonus mini-companion, Even Less Stress for FREE!
