About the Curly Girl Method
The CGM* is a method of caring for your waves, curls or coils in order to achieve healthy and beautiful hair.
It calls for cutting out of silicones, waxes, mineral oils and parabens. When you see a product described as “Curly Girl Approved” or CGA, this means the products are free from those ingredients and therefore safe to use with the method.
X Silicones
X Sulphates
X Non-Soluble Waxes
X Parabens
X Drying Alcohols
On The Curl Collective website, you can rest assured that all our products are strictly Curly Girl Method Approved.
