And it's not just exclusive to south India anymore, girls n women all over the country are wearing them. And wearing them with style! I'm gonna use this post to showcase a few trends that I like and also show off my collec...

If you're wondering what the Curly Girl method is, here's a Wiki refresher. I've been consistently following this technique for over a year with fairly consistent results. Remember though, everyone's hair is different and the same products/techniques that worked for me may not work for you! There is a fair amount of trial and error you have to do to get the results you like. There is tons of content floating around, lots of influencers on Insta & YouTube with a large variety of tips...so it takes a lil bit if digging around to find what works for you.
