Your Natural Curly Hair Journey: Where to Start (And what I wish I knew earlier)
So you are going natural? Here’s the Guide & Tips I wish I knew earlier
It might seem like curly hair is suddenly a “trend”.
But for many of us, wearng our hair natural is not a trend its a journey to finding and loving yourself naturally.
A journey of learning. Of unlearning. of building confidence.
And if you’re thinking about going natural, the biggest question is usually. Where do I even start?
At meyercurls.ch, we speak to many women and men across Switzerland who feel excited but also overwhelmed. so here’s your guide.
1. Start Small - Confidence Takes time
If you’ve always straightend your hair or often felt unconfortable wearing it open and natural, that’s completly understandable.
Many of us were taught that curls are too big, too messy, or unprofessional.
So wearing them naturally can feel like stepping outside your comfort zone.
Start small. Wear your curls when you go grocery shopping, run errands, meet somone you trust, or go for a walk.
The goal is not instant confidence.The goal is getting used to being seen in your natural hair and falling in love with it.
2. Finding the right Products (Without Getting Frustrared)
There is no one-product-fits-all solution.
Every head of hair is different, your curls pattern, density, porosity, and previous damage all matter.
Your journey will include some trial and error. Don’t give up too quickly.
Introduce one new product at a time, give it a few washes, observe how your hair reacts, and adjust slowly.
At meyercurls.ch, we carefully select curly hair products designed specifically for textured hair. If you’re unsure which products fits your needs, you can alwys reach out we are happy to guide you.
3. Stop Comparing Your Curls
Social media often shows perfect curls, but you don’t see the techniques, layered products, lighting, or edititing behind it.
Your curls are not supposed to look like somone else’s. The goal is healthy curls that feel good to you.
4. Focus on Hair Health First
Before chasing definition or volume, focus on health.
Healthy curls need moisture, gentle cleansing, the right protein balance, and products that support your specific needs.
When your hair is healthy, styling becomes easier and definition more natural.
5. Accept the "Bad Days"
Even with the best routine and products, some days won’t work, especially with Swiss weather changes.
Curly hair reacts to humidity and dryness. That’s normal and perfectly fine.
Going natural is more than hair. It's about letting go of old beauty standards, building confidence, and embracing your authentic self.
