Nicole
- Name / handle: Nicole Tirado/ @nicoleanntiradoo
- Location: Philadelphia
- What your zodiac sign? Pisces
- How would your BFF describe you in 3 words? Funny, Creative, Quirky
- What's your day job? Local Account Executive for Univision the Spanish Language Broadcast Station
- Curl Type: 3B
- Celeb curl icon: @curlswithcoral and @talaothman
- Pro-tip for taking care of your curl type: Stay free of heat or if you use heat use protective sprays and be gentle, frequent trims are a MUST and deep conditioning.
- Fave Verb Curl product: The Curl styling Cream – works amazingly combined with the curl leave-in conditioner
- Advice to your 15-year-old self about taking care of your curls: OMG – at 15 I wasn't even leaving my hair natural. I felt so ugly in my natural hair that I learned how to blow dry my own hair and did so faithfully. I was in high school and people would see me with straight hair more than curly on any given day. My advice to my younger self would be YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOUR CURLS ARE BEAUTIFUL. Love yourself little one and embrace those locks you were blessed with!
- Your go-to style when you're in a hurry: Definitely a messy high bun or what I call the ballet low bun. The high messy bun, I simply gather all my hair and put my head down to make sure I have every curl and I twist to form a bun and use a velvet scrunchie almost always and just place it so that it's not tight. For the ballet low bun, I add some oil, verb oil works and brush my curls back. I usually do the low ballet bun when my hair is dirty so by then with protective styling my curls are able to be brushed. I put all my hair back and form a bun while also simply placing a velvet scrunchie so that it's not tight. I love using velvet scrunchies and colors that pop :)
- Your go-to style for an event: My go-to style is using a clip that is the same color of my hair to clip up the small crown layer in front of my hair, where it almost looks like a waterfall of curls. I'm doing a hair tutorial on this soon!

I use some pomade to slick the edges down. Lastly, I pick the curls out to make it huge and more “pineapple-ish” and Wallah!
- Your go-to style for an event: Half up, half down. I start by horizontally sectioning the hair in half. I gather the top half in a ponytail and apply some hair polish and a little pomade to make the edges nice and neat. Then I fluff the top and bottom halves out with a pick for a fuller look.

Advice to your 15-year-old self about taking care of your curls: Always protect your hair when applying heat
-
Your go-to style when you're in a hurry: My go-to style when I’m in a hurry is just to have my natural curly hair out with my part in the middle. I use conditioner in the shower (no shampoo on my non-clarifying days) and rinse. I then use curl cream primarily on my mids and ends. I then use a small amount of hair oil and air dry. Super easy!
- Your go-to style for an event: Recently I’ve been playing more with styling my baby hairs paired with a slick bun for events. I start with damp hair and apply gel to my edges. I then brush my hair back (with a boar bristle brush) so it’s smooth along my scalp and tie it into a tight bun. I brush forward my baby hairs and apply edge control and let it set. Once done, I use a toothbrush and sectioning tool on my rat tail comb to style the hairs into intricate designs. Kiss curls have been my recent go-to style.
