The Curly Girl Method is the method based on the book “Curly Girl” by Lorraine Massey. In the book, Lorraine talks about the use of conditioners to cleanse the hair in place of shampoos. Many shampoos contain Sulfates which are very drying to your already dry hair. The types of conditioners used for cleansing are any conditioners that do not have ingredients ending in “cone”. Silicones are not good for curly hair and therefore should be avoided. For washing your hair you can use a cheap conditioner such as VO5, White Rain or Suave. You may then follow with any conditioner of your choice or you can stick to the cheap ones. This method is often called Conditioner Only method or CO method
