The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

For long enough, conventional beauty standards have forced curly-haired girls to straighten their curls. Thankfully, this is no longer the case. Instead, women, men, and children with curly hair are encouraged to embrace their natural curls. Also, countless products have been developed and dedicated to nourishing and preserving curly hair. With the rise of appreciation for curly hair (one that it had always deserved), various studios were established to further endorse the curly hair movement. Here’s a list of our favourite curly hair studios located in Cairo. 

The Curly Studio

Founded by Sara Safwat (founder) and Rola Amer (co-founder) in 2018, the Curly Studio is the first Rëzo and Curl-by-Curl-certified hair salon specialising in curly and natural hair. Their mission is to offer care plans for hair recovering from heat styling, bringing the curls back to their natural and vibrant state. The Curly Studio aims to give you healthy-looking and perfectly defined curls using chemical-free products and exceptional cutting techniques.
