About Curlytops

Chapter 1 | Discovering the Curly Girl Method

Curly Tops began as the brainchild of a curly girl who spent almost 40 years trying to understand her own beautiful curls. As a child, her ringlets were effortless. But like so many of us, she grew up at a time when the world didn’t quite know what to do with curls. She straightened, brushed, and battled with her hair until, during lockdown, she dove headfirst into the Curly Girl Method and finally cracked the curly code.

Determined to help others avoid the decades of confusion she went through, she created Curly Tops as a friendly, family-focused guide to understanding and caring for curls — from kids with straight-haired parents trying to decode ringlets, to adults who’d never been taught how to nurture their natural texture. She built something truly special.

Today, the original founder is elbows-deep in achieving her dream career as a screenwriter, with her first full-length comedy feature going into production — and Curly Tops is entering its next chapter.

That’s where I come in.

Chapter 2 | The Curl Awakening

Hi, I’m Christine. My own curl journey was a similar one… and honestly, a bit chaotic. I spent the 90s, 00s, and even a decent part of the 2010s trying to tame my curls with no real direction.

Curly Girl Method wasn’t a thing.

“Curly Girl Friendly” sounded like it belonged on a food label next to “vegan friendly.”

Scrunch out the crunch?

Plopping?

No-poo… what?!

It took me years — and finally discovering the Curly Girl Method — to realise curls don’t need controlling. They need support. The right tools. The right ingredients. The right techniques. And most importantly, the right guidance.

I’ve been passionate about helping others ever since. So when the opportunity to lift up other curly girls presented itself, I bounced at it (pun fully intended — curl joke!).

I understand the dread of seeing rain in the afternoon forecast on wash day.

I understand the internal negotiation of “Can I make these day-three curls stretch to day-five?”

I understand the frustration of doing everything right… only for your curls to say, “Nah, not today.”

Curly Tops remains the same safe, supportive space it’s always been — a place where everyone: curly kids, teens finding their identity, parents learning to care for curls that don’t match their own, and grown-ups reclaiming their natural texture — can get clarity and confidence.

And now, together — me and you — we’ll keep the story growing.

No more guesswork.

No more frizz.

Just healthy, beautiful curls for life.
