Take The Curl Assessment
Failing to thoroughly document the condition of your hair before getting started is a huge mistake so many curly girls make.
After 6 months of following the curly girl journey and experiencing tons of wash day fails, I realized that a huge missing link in my journey was not keeping track of how my hair reacted to each product, technique, and treatment.
Once I started seeing results, I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed that I didn’t have anything to measure my progress and truly show how far I had come. I so wish I would have started keeping track early on in my curl journey.

Document Your Before And After Photos
During the excitement of the prospect of finally bringing your curls back to life, do not forget to take a quality before photo. This is another crucial element of being able to look back and see how far you’ve come.
Let your hair down and take a photo of the front, back, and both sides of your hair. Try to get it in as best lighting as possible and don’t be afraid to ask someone for help.
Trust me when I say you will want these down the road to show off once you have completely transformed your curls.
This custom curly girl planner was designed to guide you along your curly girl journey and document every step of the way.
Create A Weekly Schedule
Winging wash day is a mistake.
Take a quick moment each week to create a schedule around when you will wash and style your hair.
Make note of any special events you have coming up and plan when you will wash and style your hair accordingly.
Use this sample as a reference for how to create a weekly schedule for your hair care routine. I highly recommend purchasing this customized curly girl planner to thoroughly track your progress.
Keep A Daily Log
Did you know that the dew point in your geographical location can cause your hair to react differently to products?
That’s right……
When the dew point is high it means there is more glycerin in the air which can cause your hair to become frizzy on days when it typically wouldn’t be.
That being said, it’s important to keep track of your daily routine as well. Write down the dew point, whether you washed, styled, refreshed, or restyle your hair and any other notable action that day.
This will enable you to look back and see exactly what is working and what isn’t working for your curls.
