#Welcome!

Post your curly haired questions or awesome curly haired do's! This subreddit is dedicated to any and all with naturally wavy, curly, coily, or kinky locks.

#Read the sidebar - lots of questions can be answered here!

Rules

Provide your routine!
1. Photo posts: you must include: current routine, products you use, and how you apply them, or your post will be removed.
- Help posts: help us help you by providing lots of info & by reading the wiki first.
- Other posts: (memes, products, etc.) set the flair appropriately so your post stays up. (instructions here)
Do not self-promote Do not link your own content, including your blog, youtube, survey, website, instagram, or store. Posting this content will result in a ban. Instagram handles are OK, but not links, and only in comments, not titles. (May only be shared once per thread, use a 1:10 content ratio.) Surveys should also be cleared with the moderators before being shared on the sub. If the youtube video you are posting is your own content or on your own channel, you may not post it here.
Keep posts and comments related to curly hair We are here to embrace, nourish, and love our wavy, curly, coily, kinky hair. Keep posts and comments related to curly hair. Off topic comments and posts related to straightening hair may be removed.
Practice good reddiquette. Keep it PG. Nearly all posts & photos in this subreddit are original content, meaning there is a real person behind each post who deserves to be treated with respect. Use the report button if you see anything inappropriate and feel free to message the mods. It's anonymous!
No sexual/creepy/harassing comments Keep it PG. Nearly all posts & photos in this subreddit are original content, meaning there is a real person behind each post who deserves to be treated with respect.
Include everybody. Anyone with any amount of texture in their hair is welcome here. Passing judgment on whether someone else’s hair is “curly enough” is neither useful nor productive for our common goal of bringing out the best in our hair. Please also remember that terms like “afro” and “big chop” have a long and complex history within the natural hair movement for black women (see wiki). To keep our community welcoming, it’s important that we respect these words and use them appropriately.
Do not privately message users of this subreddit. Reminder: this is a SFW subreddit. Do not privately message users, especially with "compliments" (those can be shared publicly) or sexual requests. If you wish to contact someone via PM, ask them in public chat first. They do not need to answer you.
Respect cultural terms The natural hair movement has a long history and the words created in it have meanings. It’s important to respect where these words, techniques, and more came from, and celebrate the importance of the work done by these early pioneers. Please be aware of terms such as “big chop”, “afro”, “natural hair journey”. Be thoughtful and respectful about using these powerful terms appropriately!
