Valentines Day is just round the corner and for all those that are single this is not a day we look forward too! I mean who likes to be reminded about their singlehood? But why should we sulk and not have a fun day to celebrate ourselves! Valentine's Day can be an annoying and unnecessary commercial celebration for some people, both single and in relationships. However, for those who are single and unhappy about it, it can be like pouring salt in a wound. Everywhere you look during February, you'll see red hearts, pink flowers, and phrases like "be mine" written in red. 
So, lets start with buying your favourite chocolates, get balloons and of course we can buy flowers for ourselves (iykyk)!! Once you are done starting your day right- here are 5 things you can do to thank your biggest cheer leader- YOU!
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
Host a single only party- Spending time with friends is a wonderful way to celebrate love. Invite all of your favorite single people over for a delicious dinner, a glass of bubbly, and a toast to your independence! Get all the singles in on this fun party and dance through the night! Treating yourself doesn’t need to be limited to Valentine’s Day, but rather can be done any day of the year!

Will you be our valentine?

The wedding season is upon us, it’s time to get to get your lehenga out, deck up with jewelry and experiment with fun hairstyles. But for all of this we do need our hair to work with us, right? Having a bad hair day on the day of function or prior does not help you or your pictures! So, we have curated this blog to help you out with products and routine you must follow before our events to rock those locks!
You don't need superpowers to create a stunning hairstyle! The key to nailing any hairstyle, especially if you have curly hair, is proper preparation. The right prep will give your curls definition and hold while also keeping them nourished for a long time. Curly hair is prone to losing hydration quickly, which can cause your hair to become frizzy and dull within hours.
Brief Tips:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate those locks!</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Use an intense nourishing leave in mask</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure to use satin bonnet, scrunchies to protect against frizz.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Using a gentle cleanser will avoid stripping hair dry</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Use a diffuser to even out your curl pattern and add more body.</li>
</ol>
Now let’s talk about the routine, we highly recommend following your regular haircare routine and not experimenting here to avoid any mishaps. CGM is our go-to routine because it always gives us results and works for curly hair the best. Here is the blog, describing CGM in detail if you don’t know! For individuals that don’t follow CGM, you must use this line up!
Our 3-step curl routine that we talk about in our blog: 
For those who would like to use a powder-based range and don’t follow a CGM routine this is what you can do: Use our combo- Volume Essentials that consists of Pre-Shampoo + Hair Cleanser + Hydrating Aloe Vera Mask.  
<a href="https://curlcure.in/productirani/combo-wash-day-essentials">https://curlcure.in/productirani/combo-wash-day-essentials</a>
This all-in-one combo does it for you. Our Pre- shampoo is made for all hair types, consists of natural goodness like Amla, Shikakai, Hibiscus that strengthens hair and deeply cleanses your scalp. It adds moisture to your hair and preps it for better absorption of other products. Amla and Shikakai are popular old school ingredients that remove build up, reduces dandruff and hibiscus hydrates the hair. 
Hair Power Pack plays the essential role of a cleanser that is filled with powerful ingredients like Brahmi, Fenugreek, and Indian Madder. This cleanser is the ‘IT’ product to Strengthen your hair from the inside out and accelerate hair growth. It reduces the possibilities of split ends and promotes lustrous hair.
Hydrating aloe hair mask: The deeply hydrating hair mask is famous for its intense nourishment and results in soft, shiny hair. Aloe vera is commonly known for its benefits of bouncy, soft hair while also adding tons of moisture to your curls. This prevents your hair from becoming frizzy too soon and holds hairstyles easily. Think French braids or top knots, maybe let those curls loose, no matter what this volume essential hair combo is going to make your hair stronger and so much healthier. 
Once done with the combo, relax and dry your hair using a microfiber towel, this ensures there is no hair breakage since they are delicate when wet. The material of microfiber towel reduces frizz and gently dries your hair. 
<a href="https://curlcure.in/product/drying-duo-microfiber-towel-hair-diffuser">https://curlcure.in/product/drying-duo-microfiber-towel-hair-diffuser</a>
All you curly heads might know the importance of using a good diffuser, it plays a key role in drying your hair while saving on time. Our diffuser is travel friendly and easy to use. Adding a diffuser to your regime will help dry hair quickly, add volume in your locks, reduces frizz and defines your curls better. 
We highly recommend you follow this routine before your big events, like a wedding. This preps your hair deeply for the styling ahead and reduces the damage it may cause. A good routine is one when you cleanse and hydrate your hair with a good conditioner. Since curly hair is prone to drying quickly, using curl cream makes sure the moisture does not escape. Alternatively, you can also use an Aloe vera hair mask for intense hydration. Further on drying and styling must ensure you take care of it gently and treat it like a baby. Because wet hair is prone to hair fall and breakage. 
We sincerely hope this blog helped you to prep for the upcoming wedding season. If you have any doubts do DM us on Instagram or comment below!
Happy curling!

How to prep your curls for wedding season

Hello reader, I know when you look up to someone for guidance, help or as a mentor you always wish to know more about them. To know how it all started or what drives them to do it everyday!  I relate to you so we decided to sit down and chat up with Simran, Founder and CEO of Curl Cure. She is on a mission of helping curlies and everyone around to fall in love with their hair! We know you may have questions on how to take care of those curls, or what products to use for curly hair and how to get defined curls. So grab a cup of coffee and read on as Simran and I take on this little chat session!
Q1. Let’s start with some basics about how Curl Cure came about and what mission is it on?
Simran: It is funny how the idea of something this big came about. I have always had people ask me about my hair and how I maintain it, what products to use for curly hair etc. and this one random evening I spoke to my girls about starting a consultation with the aim of helping more people! And just like that. today we have more than 45000 people whom we enjoy guiding and helping with their curls. Our mission is always to help you embrace your curls the way they are, use the best products you will LOVE your hair all the time!
Q2. What is CGM, what was your first experience like?
Simran: So CGM is basically a Curly Girl Method, that is a guide on ways to take care of your curls. It is very easy with the right products and a set routine made for you. We have an entire blog on that with all details on what to use and how! My experience was wonderful the first time, my hair did not get any sulfates or harsh chemicals so there was significant change. It was definitely overwhelming, but you have to stick to it and you’ll find what works for you. 
Q3. How did the latest launch come about, what was the planning, execution like?
Simran: It has been two long years of trying, testing and rejecting over 80+ samples before what became the final product. There were many similar brands who started during that time, but I knew ours was different and I wanted perfection in it. I refused to put anything out which wasn’t the best version of it. And I am very proud of the latest launch and the immense love it has received.

Q4. What would your advice to maintain curly hair on budget be like?
Simran: Curly hair products do tend to be expensive, and I completely understand where college girls or school kids living on their stipend are coming from! To them I would recommend doing DIY’s, it is foolproof and cost effective. Example instead of using a conditioner, make a banana hair mask at home or use a flaxseed gel on your curls. We have an entire DIY section on our Instagram guide, do check that out! Whatever you do make sure to provide hydration to your and make the effort of maintaining them.
Q5. Where do you see Curl Cure in 5 years and what is the most rewarding thing about running a company?
Simran: Curl Cure started with the aim of letting people embrace their curls and how they look because today most people get it chemically treated rather than going through the hassle of taking care of them. So in 5 years when I see people loving and rocking their natural curls I will feel like my work is done! And that is the most rewarding part of my work, we are constantly in touch with our customers and ready to take care of their hair needs. And in return they always share their journey and how Curl Cure has been helping them. To me that is everything I would want!

<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
Q6. What do you think makes Curl Cure products stand out in this vast industry?
</div>
Simran: To be very honest I do not see other brands as a competition because we all work on serving different hair types and have contrasting purposes. Our mission has always been to get people to fall in love with their hair. Plus, we use the best natural ingredients and make a conscious effort of using the best formulation which I feel makes us unique!
Q7. Lastly, anything you would like to share with the curly hair community.
Simran: To the community I would like to congratulate and share how proud I am of them if they have taken even a small step in the process of maintaining and following CGM. I know it can get a little overwhelming, but I promise you will see the potential your hair has when you try. Just get to it and trust in your curls!
 
And with that we end our little interview session, it has been filled with learnings and love for the way we see our hair! A huge thanks to our very best Simran for taking out the time and sharing a bit of her with us. We have tagged all the products Simran gave us a note about to use for your gorgeous curls.
