🌟 Hey Girl Heyyyy…

If you’re new here, welcome to the tribe. I’m Shan — real woman, real curls, real love for community. Whether you found me through curls, clean beauty, or just good vibes, I’m glad you’re here.

Let’s catch up and dive into one of the hottest conversations I’ve been having lately — short curly cuts, real confidence, and the limited cream drop that happened by divine accident.

📍What’s Happening with Shan

Whew, life is life-ing, but in the best way. I’m still showing up and showing love at Paul Mitchell (my students have my heart), but I’m also realizing how deeply I crave consistency and alignment in all parts of my life.

Real estate? Still giving what it needs to give. I’ve helped families find their dream homes while keeping curls poppin’ on the side — that’s what I call balance 😅

And yes, I’m counting down to my Jamaica trip — I need that sun, water, and jerk chicken in my spirit.

But enough about me — let’s get into the real tea.

💇🏽♀️ Is a Short Curly Cut Right for You?

Thinking about going short? You’re not the only one. Short curly hair is a whole vibe — bold, honest, and magnetic. But it’s not about trends… it’s about timing and self-trust.

Here’s what nobody tells you:

✨ A short curly cut doesn’t change who you are. It reveals you.
✨ You don’t need “perfect” features — just the right shape and support.
✨ It’s not “easier” — it’s more intentional.

💎 Face Shape 101: Choosing the Right Cut

Let’s break it down real quick, because shape matters:

Round Face: Go for crown volume or tapered sides to elongate the face.
Oval Face: Sis, you can wear almost anything — bang it, part it, play!
Square Face: Soften your angles with round layers and juicy curls.
Heart Face: Add fringe or fullness at the top to balance out the narrow chin.

Bonus Tip:
Before your cut? Get your brows shaped and waxed — it frames your face and makes your new look POP. And don’t forget those statement earrings. Your face is the main event now. Accessorize her with love 💛

🌀 My Go-To Short Curl Routine (Products I Trust)

Short hair still needs care, sis. And moisture + memory is the name of the game. Here’s my favorite combo:

Hello Curls Mousse – Your curl’s bestie. Lightweight, defining, no crunch. It gives short styles movement and structure without weighing you down.
💛 Shop Hello Curls – $21.89
Curly Tings 3-Row Brush – This brush is made for short curls. It grabs from root to tip, giving tension without the pull.
💛 Get the Brush

✨ Pro tip: On humid days or if you're pushing your style to Day 3 or 4, layer a little gel over your mousse. You don't have to reapply daily — this method holds moisture without the flake.

🌿 Product Pause: Shampoo + Conditioner Update

Okay, real moment: sometimes you’ve gotta pause good things to grow the great ones.

This summer, I’m pressing pause on my shampoo + conditioner while I 10x the stylers you really love. The focus is now on clean, effective, eco-luxury styling. Hello Curls is THAT girl — and yes, she’s been upgraded. Lemon Quat is back in the mix for extra shine and hold.

📦 Coming Soon… Wait, It’s HERE!

So here’s the surprise:
I have a 5-gallon bucket in my lab stash, buried behind Coco Fresh. Inside? A whipped jojoba moisturizing cream I used to use behind the chair years ago. When I dipped my finger in and felt the slip… I knew.

✨ Moisture without grease
✨ Vegan, no phthalates, parabens, or gluten
✨ Can be used alone or under your favorite gel

I’ve been putting it on my scalp, my short curls, and even dry skin — and it works.

So instead of keeping it for myself, I poured it into 4 oz jars (originally I said 2 oz but I had to bless y’all). It’s not an official Pür Bella launch — just a limited lab drop with a clean top label and pure intentions.

Once it’s gone… it’s gone. I don’t know if she’s coming back.
