3 years ago I gave up straightening my hair everyday and learned to love my frizzy indian hair 🤎

[@sanuhh.]

What products did you use? ❤❤

[@makeupbymonicaa]

It’s linked in my link tree which is in my bio! Fable and mane hair oil Kerastase shampoo conditioner Kerastase leave in conditioner Living proof curl gel and defined Shark flex style diffuser ❤

[@sanuhh.]

@@makeupbymonicaa thank you so much

[@asmaabduljabbar1754]

Is diffuser not heat?

[@asmaabduljabbar1754]

Please suggest affordable products

[@asmaabduljabbar1754]

And also can you explain how to find out that one has curls or curly hair hidden in frizzy?

[@0rleylane]

I love this bc as an Indian woman, I feel like I don’t often see other Indian woman with wavy-curly hair

[@shiny_selenium6448]

Yeah I agree! I am also Indian and have straight/slightly wavy hair but I think curly hair is sooo pretty!

[@twinklestargaming7083]

As an Indian I love my hair it's amazing

[@SuperInconspicuous]

Trust me its not just Indians that stuggle with this [i dont mean that rudly btw] i am a white girl with super thick curly hair in a family of straigjt haird people. We have tried everything but my curly defies all my knowledge of curly hair and i cant not manage it. Just recently started trying again and it still looks a mess lmao

[@vanessanaicker3641]

My curls were damaged because of dress code my hair was drenched in coconut oil. So I spend more time with moisturisers and leave in conditioners

[@heyitsBb]

I'm an Indian and I have really curly hair. Hated it so much but now started to like them but have no idea what products to use, since curly hair products are sooo expensive.

[@priya2539]

Took me 30yrs. Such a massive blindspot in our Indian community. I learnt a million ways to straighten my hair but not a single person could tell me what a diffuser was

[@EleanoraDzen]

My mom figured it out at around 40 She has been opening up about the amount of horrible comments on her “unruly hair”. Her superior at work straight up told her that she would have been pretty if she had better hair

[@priya2539]

@Eleanora Dzen I was an exchange student for part of my MBA at a university in the UK. This white British man proceeded to start my first career coaching session with a critique of my curls as "unprofessional" 😕

[@Kathakathan11]

Curls look pretty , yes we don’t know how to maintain curls as Indians mostly use oil and braid it traditionally. Infact open hair were said to be inviting gesture, a century back at-least. Also we have mundun tradition so we lose baby hair and the hair henceforth have different texture.

[@mandipkaur7398]

My mom had the same opinion about her curly Indian hair. I showed her this video about a week ago, shared some curly hair tips with her, got her some hair products, and now her hair looks so beautiful in its natural form and she loves it. Thank you so much ❤

[@iceprincess13]

This is so cute & wholesome. Go Mom! 💗

[@macroyt8774]

Yoo what products did you get for her

[@neenee4614]

And what tips did you recommended her

[@TheFlyingFestoon]

Your hair looks so healthy and shiny!!!! I'm jealous!!!

[@laxmib.420]

Yessss girl! Fellow Indian girl here. I grew up with frizzy, thick hair and was down to me jealous of my white friend who had straight, thin hair because they could do so many fun things with it. Now, I’m so obsessed with my hair and proud of who I am. Keep up the awesome work!❤❤❤

[@fruitsarelife7073]

Love the impact of the natural hair community. It really ended the obsession with straight hair 🤗🌺

[@emma_luce_0623]

If your hair is growing from your head and isn't dyed, it's natural.. Not sure why we started calling curly hair natural but it's annoying

[@squirrelsinmykoolaid]

​@@emma_luce_0623 If you actually did some research you would know that this term has literally been used since like the 1970s and is specifically used to refer to afro textured hair that is not chemically straightened. Generations of Black people (mainly women and girls) were coerced by society into hating our hair texture so much that we chemically relaxed our hair for decades and the result of that is people are finding out those chemicals cause CANCER but you are annoyed because of the term "natural". Smh. I wish I had the luxury of being annoyed by a word on the internet instead of being afraid that I could develop cancer since my hair was relaxed from the age of 5 years old until high school when I learned that my hair wasnt "supposed" to be straight all thanks to the NATURAL hair community.

[@emma_luce_0623]

@@squirrelsinmykoolaid I didn't say I haven't done research, I didn't even mention when the term came to be. I specifically said I don't know why we call curly hair "natural" as though all virgin hair isn't natural. All virgin hair is natural, whether it's curly or straight. You also have no clue as to what my hair type is so I'm not sure why you're speaking to me as though you're better or inferring I don't understand what has happened or what chemical straighteners do.

[@jinx526]

​@@emma_luce_0623 Because its about learning to take of and love the hair as it grows in its natural texture. Especially for black people as the other person mentioned. Other groups of people joined in but the point is the natural curls or coils/kinks that we have and not being ashamed or frustrated with it. It was about reconnecting with being black or just having curly hair for some of us and letting go of beauty standards that do not represent what WE look like NATURALLY. Its not about all virgin hair especially straight hair. The movement wasn't really for everyone. It's was originally focused on woc learning to love themselves as they are and not hurting ourselves to fit in with eurocentric standards. Idk what could possibly be annoying about black and brown people learning our natural features are beautiful and deserves respect too.

[@Paula-um3js]

​​@@emma_luce_0623 Its called natural because it is left in the way it grows, not straightened manually or chemically. Another person said origins of this word for black people, but tbh any hair that isn't styled to change colour or texture can be called natural. My natural is straight, but wouldn't be natural anymore if i did a perm to chemically alter it. Had a friend doing perms all the time, so her "switching to natural" was just letting the hair be once the last perm uncurled. But because its mainly black people who used straightening due to their natural coily hair not being accepted in the past, you see mainly black or other curly haired people using that term.

[@sydneyruewho13]

Your hair is so pretty!! Glad you went natural

[@Amber_12]

Me too! I used to always straighten my hair but now I’ve learnt to embrace it because it’s a part of me 💗

[@Capeverdeluv1]

I’m glad u mentioned after no one taught u how to deal w/your hair that U actually took accountability and learned on your own.

[@seri1364]

This is such a real struggle within the indian community

[@wasabi4790]

Your hair is so pretty! You should make more of these hair videos, they're super entertaining and I rarely see popular people with hair like mine ❤

[@sasandbernard7862]

My dude your hair is stunning. So shiny and the curls have so much structure.

[@scawydemon]

You look so much prettier with curly hair than you would with straight hair

[@reginaroza3154]

Your hair is gorgeous!

[@khushisharma4668]

Once you accept your self and love yourself the way you are whole world starts to envy you. I also hated my curls for years and straighten them but now I just love them the way they are. You helped me somewhere ❤

[@nelliiel]

ur hair is literally perfection!

[@notimportant123]

girl we need a hair routine

[@user-lh6qu6di5h]

Beautiful!

[@hellokittydoll2794]

Your hair is so gorgeous!!! 😭

[@mysentiments3298]

Absolutely GORGEOUS HAIR!!!

[@silverlanterns]

Hi Monica! Indian here. My hair is wavy and it's always so frizzy that even oil doesn't really sort it out. Everyone was telling me to straighten hair but glad I found your videos.

[@SapphyWaffy]

Ahh could you drop the actual routine!! I've been trying to revive my natural curls too but I'm just so lost with where to begin 😭

[@bhavyasood776]

You can try by oiling then do shampoo , apply conditioner and then serum and comb your wet hair and leave to air dry. I do this and it has relived my hair. Do use cotton t shirt for drying and not towel. Hope it helps 💖. Also do ask questions If you have any

[@bhavyasood776]

Also don't comb your hair when it gets dry

[@__led]

Are you saying you put in shampoo and conditioner and just leave it in without washing out?

[@bhavyasood776]

@LEDart no no dear. First do shampoo then wash it out. Then again put shampoo massage well and leave it for like 1 min and wash rest of your body then rinse it out (since I have oily scalp I do this and I only put shampoo on my scalp not on my hair strands as my curls are dry) then apply conditioner leave it for 2 - 3 mins , rinse it out. Take a cotton t shirt just wipe the water and when it is damp apply serum (don't wait for your hair to dry , apply on damp hair) then after applying serum comb your hair (this will spread the product evenly also I use wide tooth comb) and you are done

[@leza4453]

The thing I run into is: Looks great at washing day. But the day after, its a frizzy tangled mess. Brushing makes it poofy. Do you have solution for that?

[@chrystina]

Gorgeous natural curls!!!

[@missjabeen4744]

It's a surprisingly tough topic for me as, just like you, I disliked my curls and wanted to straighten them. I couldn't because of my strict parents, and so I just endured them until college. It's only then that I realised, that not everyone is blessed with evr ready, bouncy curls and that women spend thousands of rupees for such hair. And at the age of 23, I started losing my hair due to Alopaecia. It's only after losing my hair did I really become grateful for the hair that I now have. Now, almost 3 years later, my curls are back, and I enjoy their weightless brush on my neck and how they bounce about in the wind. Im really grateful for getting my hair back, not many people do. Alhumdulillaah.

[@JosephineSimmons776]

Youre hair looks more coily but its still super nice and shiny❤

[@Gemma-Karma]

You look so much like Shay Mitchell. Beautiful! 🩷✨

[@nooralwabari]

Super beautiful hair😍😍😍😍

I have wavy/curly hair, but I do not know how to take care of it, and your hair is gorgeous.

[@rachelorr-gi6mw]

Im there right wit ya! I'm always have frizz control issues. 😢

[@happyvalentino]

I’m happy my face is too round to look good with straight hair otherwise I would’ve continued to do what you did but same here sis! I was using just plain mousse to crunch my hair and call it a day, not anymore 💕

[@rachelcoisnacoillte6023]

You are blessed to have such beautiful wavy hair!

[@popstarpigs6677]

I started styling my hair when I was in ninth grade, I'm still figuring it out lol

[@carolechaney2830]

Your hair is gorgeous and compliments you 💯

[@Ranakk900]

Looks wavy to me

[@kikiursalone]

I hated my frizzy hair but also hated oiling it! But now I do so religiously with coconut oil, prior to washing it! And end my hair wash with cold water to get rid of frizz, works everytime! Highly recommend!

Glad that girls are showing hair and nor being insecure

This works and looks beautiful same day . Not after

[@taintedlife2618]

Same here.. I used to straighten them and torture them but they are so stubborn that they never remained straight or manageable.. Then I let them breathe and now I love them curly forever ❤

[@kiml684]

Me too. But then the dyson airstrait came out. Maybe sometimes I can straighten my hair 😅

[@ananyasahay]

embracing curly hair is super new still in India. Tbh, even i didn't know much about it until 3 years ago. Most people w curly hair don't know how to take care of their curls, it makes their hair frizzy on a day to day basis and they end up hating it. And will always want to straighten it for a special occasion

[@Fay0160]

Woww your hair looks great!!

[@rileypeters6923]

Omg girl your hair is gorgeous I would die for hair like that. You are sooo lucky and beautiful 🩷🩷 have a blessed day 🩵🩷

[@mallikadhoni6570]

Same! The first time in twenty years I realised I had natural wavy hair

[@ink_andpaper]

Same bruh same took me 19 years to realise I have wavy/curly hair and now I am learning how to take care of it properly.

[@NooralainMirza]

I'm also a south Asian girl with curly hair, but my hair gets SO BIG and it's so long I just keep it straight now. I love my curls but managing them is exhausting

[@rushitaavula675]

Girl i would love to get lost in those beautiful curls

Can you do a full tutorial so I can know how to maintain my hair?

[@chesiresays]

Watch Manes by Mells KZbin Chanel. She teaches everything you need to know about Gurkha bc wavy hair.

[@cffggtfgh4865]

This feels so personal, although I never straighten my hair and I do know that my hair is curly, its just nobody ever taught me how to care for my hair

[@Opal5674]

That's such a shame no one taught you to take care of it when you were younger. My son had curly hair and of course I try and teach him that thr feature is something that makes him stand out and he should really take care of it.

[@marianateixeira6202]

[@thewholehealthylife8122]

Great video ❤

[@nevergonnagiveyouupnevergo972]

I can totally relate like I didn’t even now that I had curly hair until now and I’m trying to work on my curly hair but curls are so hard to work with I wish there was someone that could tell you how to take care of curly hair cuz it freaking hard

[@syedasheza2654]

I'm from Pakistan soo back when i was little there was nothing on curly hairs my mom has curls too but didn't know how to manage them soo naturally i just brush them out and braid it when i reach teenage i was soo tired of my hairs i got them rebounded permanently straight that damage my hairs soo much 5 years back i discovers some account which shows curly hair care but at that time my hairs were soo damaged of all the chemical and heat lost all my volume

[@zainabnaeem3760]

then the hair diffuser is a type of icecream 🥲

[@Snapdragonangel]

I feel this! When I was little I would cry and cry because my hair “wasn’t pretty like all the other girls”. Tbh I still hate my natural hair and have no clue how to manage it so I just straighten it as much as possible.

[@tcrijwanachoudhury]

I tried to curl my hair as a kid, I always say how princesses would have long curly hair. It's amazing realizing that people see their beauty as a flaw
