Hi! I’m Colleen! 


I’ve gone from loving, hating, over-processing, and just throwing my curls in a messy bun because I didn’t know what else to do with them. 


Curls have a mind of their own and you never know what you’re gonna get.

After four back to back pregnancies (1 miscarriage & 3 births) my hair was in the worst condition it has ever been.

I cut and lightened it to platinum which made it go from bad to worse. I was pulling out handfuls in the shower and there was little to no body left in it.

I felt like straw! It was so terrible!I never thought I would have curls again.

At that point for fear of my hair falling out, I decided to start trying to take better care of my hair.

I had a few salon deep treatments that were helping bring back my curls. The curl was slowly but surely coming back.

But I really hadn’t committed to avoiding heat and doing treatments at home.

I had my hands full with my kids and just didn’t have the time to put into researching home treatments and I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on expensive products.

As my kids grew and became more independent, I finally decided to start doing research on how to bring my curls back.

It seemed like all roads led to the curly girl method. Read more here.

As I dug deeper and deeper into how to do the curly girl method, I was SO excited to get started and convinced it was what my hair needed.

…& the proof is in the pudding <3

Read about my first 30 days following curly girl here.

After one month of a ton of research and experimentation, my curls are softer, bouncier, and happier than they have ever been!

I think my biggest take away thus far about the curly girl method is that it is so much more about the technique you use and how you treat your hair than some magical product!

….& it is a journey!
