Got curly hair but just can't find the right products even after shelling out hundreds? Or maybe you're just unable to figure out which technique will give you the juiciest coils. This is where curly hairstylist and curl coach Elizabeth Alex comes in, helping clients "build confidence in their curls, develop routines that work for their specific hair type, and achieve their hair goals - whether that's mastering styling techniques or growing healthier, more defined curls". She offers one-on-one online sessions in which she analyses your hair, and gives product recommendations, while also explaining how best to use them. For clients who don't have access to hairstylists trained to cut curly hair, she also offers an online curly cut tutorial.

RECOMMENDED BY: Mounika S, I had an amazing experience. The way she explains each and every step, with the tiniest of details, is very informative and helpful. She responded to every query I had. The most important thing I have learned is to love my hair and get to know its needs.
