Hair Rules Salon Curly Hair Follow-up Visit with Anthony Dickey

In August 2008, my sister Charrell, a graduate student in physical therapy and beauty contributor to 55 Secret Street, paid a visit to Anthony Dickey, creator of the popular line of products and salon called Hair Rules, and learned about her naturally curly hair.  The video above is a follow-up to that visit.

Update: If you have trouble hearing the audio in the beginning due to the blow-dryer, here is a mini-transcript.

Introduction:

Charrell: Do I need to do anything else? Should I put oil in it?  Because I usually don't...

Dickey: No, your hair is not difficult to do at home without essential oils.

Elongating Curls:

Nichelle: What is this doing? The blow-drying?

Dickey: This is elongating her curl pattern so that it stays stretched out over the days. It lifts and separates all of the curls.

Charrell: What if I want to stretch out my hair myself - should I flip my hair over?

Dickey: Yes.

Great video and information. I recently took down my locs and caring for my loose hair is a little different and more challenging than what I was doing with my locs.

Thanks!

I think I have had every hairstyle so far except locs. You just untwisted without cutting? I know that's a lot of work.

As for my sister, she is currently going straight - but she's still blow away by her curls.

Amazing how we learn about our own hair sometimes...

I have curly hair like your sister's so I am very excited about this post! However, the noise of the hair dryer made it a bit hard to hear Dickey's comments in the interview. Would it be possible for you to edit the post to provide a brief summary? If so, thanks!

[Nichelle]

Thanks Pat!

I'll take a look at the video again and post a summary by tomorrow. I was worried about the hair dryer, but you never know. Thanks for stopping by!

All the hair pictures of you and your sister are just so pretty! Gosh, I wish I had hair like yours! Mine is a state and I've just given up and gone short, daily watering, frequent conditioning, occassional shampooing. After your blog, I'm planning my way to NYC for a consultation with AD. Thank you!
