5 Curly Hair Hacks To Save You Time

[@MarilynSmith-qj5ru]

Instead of a micro fibre towel or T-shirt, I use silk/satin headscarves….they don’t absorb too much water but they really encourage curls to clump smoothly. I use on on my head, one round my shoulders and I microplop with the damp one

[@sophiemariecurly]

Ah yes that’s a great option too 🥰🥰

I have always had really fine, frizzy, tangle-prone hair. I thought my hair was straight because my mom has straight hair, but my hair never behaved like my mom's hair does. I am 38 and discovered last year that my hair is wavy. I was shocked. I have not yet been able to get day 2 or 3 hair to look really good like day 1 hair, but my hair looks so much better now. Thanks for your tips, and keep up the great work!!!

It’s taken me a full year to get more confident with my styling and work out which products work for me, and I’m finally in a good place with my 2C hair. I’ve grown to like the look of it compared to smoothed/straightened hair and made peace with it not always looking perfect. All your videos and tips have helped so much. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤

What I have found when sleeping at night is wrapping my hair in a silk scarf and THEN putting a bonnet on top but I know that’s a lot of things on the head 😅 but it works! Do what works for you! Love this video Soph ❤

I love my steamer for my hair i have 2b/c waves and it really gets my curls back .Also when my curls are dry i use my steamer with my conditioner mask .I would love your hair its beautiful ❤

Your channel has grown so much since your first video! I love the longer content of videos you put out! This wont work for everyone but I found using an oil as a prepoo a few hours or overnight before washing cuts down my detangling so much! It helps me remove alot of the shed hairs since I only wash my hair once a week. I usually finger detangle which I find the most gentle on my hair before using a hair tool since I can actually feel the knots and tangles. I also found my hair seems to grow faster since it helps me so much with moisture and length retention doing it this way!

[@GenaMarie]

Love your videos, Soph! Conditioning before shampoo has changed the game for me and really reduced my shedding during wash day and tangles.

[@sophiemariecurly]

Thank you so much!! Means a lot ❤️❤️❤️

[@juliedavenport9624]

If i had a dime for every time someone said “oh curly hair is so easy! Just wake up, give your head a shake and it’s beautiful again!” I’d be RICH!! Your videos are so helpful and fun to watch! Thank you for sharing!

[@DanteVelasquez]

You've come a long way since you started embracing your curls. So many great tips and your hair looks amazing 🙂

[@sophiemariecurly]

Thanks so much! ❤️❤️ it’s crazy looking back at old pictures I don’t even feel like the same person haha!

[@nickyclark5667]

Thank you for these hacks Sophie, I shall definitely be using the deep conditioner before shampooing as I get very tangley hair ❤

[@bridgetdarby5493]

I finally know what to do with this hair since watching your videos , thank you so much. Stay sweet ❤❤

[@sophiemariecurly]

So glad ❤️🥰 thank you!

[@TheBaker135]

I use the garnier conditioner, ill try leaving it in a brush styling with gel. Thanks Sophie.

[@nataliedean7551]

OMG! Such great tips! I can't wait to try some of these! Thanks a bunch, Sophie! ♥️

[@slavi7191]

Never thought of steam refreshing. Will totally try that. Thank you!

[@AngelaVEdwards]

I’ve been using steam to refresh my curls for several years now. I buy a laundry steamer from Amazon and that works beautifully for me.

[@ihbsxbox57]

Amazing, thank you Sophie Marie 🎉

[@sophiemariecurly]

You're so welcome! Glad you liked it 🥰

[@ednaflynn5987]

I like the Humberto Gianini gel cream as all in one.

[@debrahudson3334]

I use a product called the hair drying headband and it really saves me time in the morning as I do my mourning routine while wearing it. I save so much time from not blow drying my hair. The secret is the PVA towel inside. The name of the company that makes it is dryhairday

[@tomwish3771]

Wow these are really great hacks

[@romilly99]

I would kust like to thank you for what you do here. Although we have very different curls, mine being much finer and less dense than yours, but very curly, you have really helped me. At 58 (nearly one higher😅), I have spent my entire life up to a month ago ignoring it. My mother literally controlled it (and me .... she died recently and I'm two months into long overdue therapy) so I had no idea it was even curly until much later in life. My hair was like a symbol of how awful I was (hard to be awful from birth I think) and I internalised that and, as an adult, either pinned it up or cut it off. I hated it. I started to let all the, again long overdue, whites and greys come through during lockdown, despite being constantly told how awful I looked, but I still tied it up. A month ago I stopped. The paranoia when I LEFT THE HOUSE like that was huge but, of course, the world didn't end and I started to hunt on here. So much content by so many people, most of whom are young, beautiful and with the very thick hair I once had. Very confusing and, of course, disheartening because this is social media and I'm old enough to know that there's a lot of smoke and mirrors involved and how easy it would be to just give up and think there's no point because I'll never look like that and nor will my hair. HOWEVER, I stumbled across you and applied some of your advice, notably the silk scarves and your sensible UK based approach. Between you, Gena Marie and Miss Charmsie (her three pigtails in a bonnet works for me) I think I can turn this around! Lots of trial and error, and no doubt I'll end up with tonnes of half teied products, but I'm okay with that. I have never spent money on my hair in my life, just hacked away with old scissors (it's all over the place!) so I'll indulge now. The one thing I do need is a good diffusing hairdryer. I looked at Dysons but I don't need multiple tools as I will NEVER be uncurly again, and I have read that the diffuser isn't the greatest. Is the Curlsmith genuinely good? I have read so many reviews of so many options that my brain is going to explode (it's exhausting but fun, this hair stuff!) so I just need to decide. I know nothing is a miracle worker, and that a lot will be down to technique which is up to me (with help from watching you etc), but I would genuinely appreciate your honest opinion on it. Also, thank you for your series of hair styling with curly hair. I work from home in SW UK so, to be honest, nobody really sees me (except for the sheep!) but I live on the top of a hill and it's ALWAYS windy!! Apologies for the essay but I wanted you to know that I appreciate what you do, that it's making a big difference to me, and I wish you well.

Thank you! So helpful 🎉

Hi there, thanks for your videos, I still learn a lot. Unfortunately I cannot get all of your recommended products, because I am from Germany and we don't have them here. Maybe I can find something similar, f.e. this deep conditioner from Garnier. And I use a special net plop bonnet to pre-dry my hair before diffusung. Wearing it for about 10-15 min, while get dressed, etc. It shortens the hovering/diffusing process a lot. Looking forward whats upcoming next on your channel. I just discovered it yesterday afternoon. Best from Duesseldorf 💃🏽🍾🥂🥳👍😘😍

[@seekwisdominside680]

Hello, fellow German here 🙂 Das Garnier Fructis Hairfood (Banana, Papaya...) ist in jedem Drogeriemarkt erhältlich und erschwinglich. I love it. Aber jetzt lebe ich in South East Asia und da ist es sehr teuer und kaum erhältlich.😢 Was ich aus D mitbringe, wird streng rationiert! 😅 Best of luck with your hair journey and best wishes ❤

[@petran.3826]

@@seekwisdominside680 Hallo to South East Asia. Danke dir für den Tipp, dann ich mal zum guten alten Rossmann oder DM. If you need something, let me know, maybe I can send something to you. Have a nice evening, beste Grüße, Petra

[@seekwisdominside680]

@@petran.3826 Liebe Petra, danke Dir für Deine lieben Worte und das großzügige Angebot, bin ganz gerührt. Habe noch Vorrat und habe auch einige akzeptable lokal erhältliche Produkte gefunden. Ja, bei Rossmann und Dm habe ich es schon gekauft. Eine deutsche youtuberin namens Plunderstückchen hat Produktempfehlungen von Drogeriemärkten für Curly Girl Methode auf ihrem Kanal. (Allerdings hat sie inzwischen zu viele Produkt-Tests etc, aber die älteren Empfehlungen sind interessant. Und ich mach auch keine strenge CGM.) Würde Dir gern persönlich schreiben, aber ich weiß nicht, wie das hier geht 🙈 Liebe Grüße 🌹🌹 Barbara

[@Liz-ug9nx]

Amazing hair but I have a question instead of using a deep conditioner to detangle first can we use a regular in case we want to use a deep conditioner after?

[@sophiemariecurly]

Thanks so much! You definitely can do but sometimes I’ve found a deep conditioner can offer more slip (especially if they have lots of oils in) than some regular conditioners. Just make sure whatever you use is ok to be put near your scalp especially if you decide to leave it in for a little bit too

[@angelaharris1112]

Love your night time hack!

[@flaviacharlie4893]

I have type 2c/3a type mixed curls. My curls only look nice when I wash & style it. Next day curls are inexistent 😞 if I use more products to refresh, it makes it worse. Any tips for mixed curly hair types?

[@moonble]

This was so helpful! I have a question for you, how often should I wash my hair?

I am close to cutting all of my hair off because at 50 and 2C, nothing is working. Nothing tames the frizz and I don't have time for all of this. I cannot tell you how many hours I spend looking at videos like these and updos for curly hair...and all of y'all are gorgeous curly girlies but not me.

[@fralencemelograno]

I’ll be 52 in a couple of months and I started giving attention to my curles 3-4 years ago because of the covid situation and masks in hospitals, I’m a doctor and I needed to let my hair grow long enough to stay in a bun while I’m at work, please don’t give up, in my experience all you have to do is try something different each and every time you wash your hair, some more or less product, some more or less water added, you will find what makes your curls happy!

[@m3gr0]

Do you have grey hair? I’m only asking because I’m in my 40’s and my hair is turning grey and my porosity has changed from Medium to Low porosity. I’ve also dealt with thinning and shedding which has caused me to completely change the hair products I used when I was younger as well as how I style it. I also have to go to get my haircut more often than I used to.
