I change my hair all of the time, but every 4-5 years I return to my natural curls. Lots of you have asked how I style my hair when I wear it natural, so here’s the scoop:
As a Hairdresser in NYC, I was introduced to the Davines line of products. I fell in love with their ‘Love’ Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner - a bit expensive, but worth it (until I can develop my own line that’s easier on the pocket book – Oh, I’ve got plans, people!)
I used to adore Aveda’s Sap Moss line, but they discontinued it in the name of sustainability…which is actually very cool.
Once I’m all clean (I only wash my hair twice a week – curls are dry and stripped of moisture on their own, so I go easy), I squeeze out any excess moisture and apply about 2 tbls. of Aveda Universal Styling Creme from their ‘Brilliant’ line to my damp hair.
I then twist 1″ sections of hair around my finger, root to tip to set the curl. Once my whole head is done, I air dry (No touching! The biggest mistake people make about curls is touching them while they’re drying – that is a quick road to frizz) and then fluff it up at the roots once it’s completely dry.
And that’s it! Easy, and fairly quick. Hope this helps my fellow curly’s out there!

I use Paul Mitchell & Sebastian products but I’m going to try the twist technique for my curls.
You have gorgeous hair Kim! I’m currently 9 months into growing out my relaxer… I love my natural texture but I’m not ready to have short hair yet! I think I’ll chop the rest of the scraggly ends off soon tho, I’m sick of the madness!
Thanks, Kim for sharing! I used your twisting method over the weekend without your fav products. Love it! My hair is still curly with about one more day before washing. When I order the hair products, I’ll let you know my results. Thanks, again for sharing with your girls.
Hello there Kim. I’m a huge fan of your show. I love your curls!! And I love AVEDA
one thing you might want to try for your curls is the Be Curly shampoo and conditioner. They are wonderful products. I use the conditioner as a leave in conditioner, pat hair dry as to not dislodge the curl, and then I add my Be Curly combination. I mix Be Curly (lotion) with the humectant gel and the emollient serum and crunch into hair. The humectant helps cut the frizz along with the other products and gives your hair a lovely natural shine and holds the curl. Have a great day!!
