[@madsquishy3410]

Same here. I'm a wavy girl so I don't bother with the "curly cuts" and my stylist knows exactly how to shape and layer my hair to get the most curl definition when I go to style it. I really do feel like we have it easier sometimes than girls who have 3a and above curly hair. We can get curls when we want them, go straight with little effort, and get inexpensive hair cuts from a regular stylist. I used to wish so hard that my hair was super type 3 curly, but more and more I've come to love my wavy hair. I think watching your channel has definitely helped with that!!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Glad this all has helped!

[@sewhat4040]

More science, I love learning all the things! I’m honestly considering coloring my hair again after years of not dyeing it. I’m not impressed with the healthy slip 😂 So far the red ouidad hair gel works best for me.

[@kariflynn6727]

Thank you so much for all your help and guidance on this journey. The tip of the hairspray before diffusing made a noticeable difference to my wave formation and hold. You're a wonderful teacher!

[@LeaC816]

Wow… the part about needing a cast because your hair is getting healthy spoke to my soul. I have just been using a curl cream as a styler for a long time now. My hair is feeling so much better and looking shiny… but flat. I’ve done the other things like clarifying, bond repairs and a trim. I was avoiding the gels because my hair felt like straw when I used them… 4-5 months ago. I’ll give one a whirl next wash day. Thanks Courtney!!!

[@vaskylark]

Me too in regards to gels causing my hair to look stringy and or straw hair. Olaplex fixed a whole lot of my damage especially #3 and #8 for moisture. I've never had oily hair in my life which is probably why my hair is so dang dry all the time, but having curly hair does that to your hair anyway which is why I have to keep on forking out for biweekly Olaplex treatments. It's such a huge difference after the first time I used it my hair was shiny and soft and way, way curlier with natural ringlets allover my head. All this time I thought I was 2C with waffle iron (the crimping iron look was my natural look before I started curl journey) curl texture but in actuality my hair was so straw-like that it just couldn't spiral like it's supposed to. Like having a whole new head of hair so I'm grateful to this channel for sending me on my way to healthy hair and other channels. Whoever told me to try Olaplex 3 I owe them big haha! My hair is now 3a/3b and I attribute most to Olaplex although I did switch shampoos and have tried many curl creams and custards. Marc Antony Hydrating curl cream and Kinky Curly custard seem to work best for me but I don't need much.

[@katherinerobertson7206]

Courtney, You are so good at this. Please change loose to lose.

[@kaylak08]

How did you know??? I’ve been hating my hair for like 6+ months and on the verge of going back to heat styling after like 4 years of following curly girl. I’ve done trims and tried protein and masks, but maybe I need a different clarifying shampoo and I definitely need some different gels. You’ve given me hope!

[@Marie-ClaireHudon-iq5uu]

Have a great day too Courtney thank you for sharing 😊

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you! You too!

[@lauraleeroman8607]

Thanks Courtney! I have been struggling so bad with my slightly wavy hair lately and felt like I was doing all the right things that usually keep it healthy and still it looked so bad. I tried the curl smith bond repair and with just one use I got my hair back! Yay!!!😊

[@elizabethnunn-gage226]

You're not kidding about the Pattern Mask Treatment! Holy shrinkage batman, I just tired it this morning after clarifying and it was AMAZING! My hair is SOO much more bouncy and curly! I also just got the Briogio gel and tried that on top my itself and while I may have put on too much (it felt like my hair sucked up the first amount that I put on) so far I really like it, will be scrunching it out shortly!

[@jennaferbalgie3271]

Give me all the science!!!!

[@khogg3235]

I agree!

[@MrsMilli]

Yes!!!

[@Aimee0206]

Yes!!! I absolutely looove researching, so it's good to learn about the science behind how things work!

[@snowflakes215]

Agreed! 👩🏼‍🔬

[@Terecita47]

So helpful! My 50 year old hair recently revealed to me that it wants to be WAVY. I have been on a quest ever since. (Literally typing as I wait for my gel cast to dry. LOL.) I had to warn my husband that while my hair sets, this 1990's gel cast was ON PURPOSE. HAhahAHHA Thank you! (Also--getting my first trim in 3 months on Wednesday.) Wooooo hoo..

[@mfindlayolynyk]

I'd love to see the deep dive videos!

[@mandyratliff6285]

May the Lord protect us all from the curly hair gatekeepers 🙄. To anyone telling people with wavy hair that they have no business styling their hair this way or that way: YOU actually have no business worrying about what other people are doing with their hair. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! I have curly hair and I find it appalling when a wavy haired person is told stupid things by rude people.

[@Skirkly]

Another idea for cast: Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee. Never had any gel as strong as this before. People have no business telling anyone how to style their hair!!!

[@dennissems]

Does it weigh your hair down?

[@ruthlindahl1644]

It’s like you read my mind. I have thought about shaving my head. One, to see how my gray hair comes back. And two, to see how my curls would come back. Since going gray my hair is not as wavy/crazy.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

I mean... it would be so interesting!

[@Time_Traveler_Karen]

Yes, let's go in depth 👍

[@TheMissikissa]

I would be really interested in the deep dive into curly hair science!

[@rhondaharrison7833]

I have just used the Ouidad 8:22 water works shampoo followed by lots of conditioner, then rinsed thoroughly and tried the 4U by Tia Curl Defining Gel.. And let it air dry, then diffused a bit. Wow!!! Hardest gel cast ever!! Scrunched/ clapped it out, and oh my! I have never had such awesome curls before! Thank you for all of your advice!

[@stephkrunic3884]

[@sarahallegra6239]

[@nicolenavarro3942]

Awesome video Courtney! Thank you so much for another informative and helpful video. Great tips and product suggestions ❤

[@copperfloyd9281]

That T Shirt 💚💜💚

[@musicalgeek2851]

I got another pixie cut and am working on my healthy hair journey again. (In the process of growing out.) but this video is perfect as I try to figure out different styles!!

[@stephanietesky3092]

Yes, I would a 5 part series

[@GrammyAllen]

So, you talk about if someone HAD nice curls and then didn't, what about someone who's always had straight hair, never knew anything about curly hair, and as a post-menopausal cancer survivor (no chemo, just radiation) I found that my hair was actually curly. It's barely curly, except at the base of my neck, but still curly. My hair is waist length, which I realize will stretch out the curls. But is there something I should be doing to train my hair? I don't really care if the curls show, I just want to get rid of the frizz. I use an old t-shirt instead of a towel, food for soft shampoo and conditioner, garnier leave in conditioner, and I'm between gels at the moment, but I just got a cheap one. I also air-dry after plopping with the t-shirt because I don't have a diffuser. Thanks for any help! I thought about calling the beauty college and asking if they could give me a trim and tell me about curly hair while taking care of me. 🤷‍♀

[@GrammyAllen]

@@OddinaryOne No. Those words sound familiar but I don't know anything about that.

[@KGTorres]

Hello Courtney. Could I request a Maui Moisture on brand wash day 😊? Love your videos ❤

[@andreakarlsson7927]

I’m going to try and switch things up a bit, since my hair has gotten healthier, something changed and now my usual favourite products aren’t working 😫

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

It'a tough... but healthier hair will have different needs... Plus, seasons changing can effect how products perform.

[@amorosayenni581]

I have 2 curls in my hair that look like I just curled it. The rest of my hair is wavy or almost straight 😢 I’m gonna try this

[@bethanyrose3273]

I would love to see that pattern protein deep conditioner in action with a Full wash day routine!

[@OnePersonOneOpinion]

okay im at 2:14 and i KNOW youre gonna say clarify and deep condition first hahahah cant believe ive been watching your videos for almost 4 years!!

[@VEE-rd7cu]

I'm glad that I found you; w/I the last year after the expense of trying a plethora of curly girl products, I realized that I don't have curly hair, I have wavy hair like my Mom. Any recommendations for wavy hair? Thanks

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

I would check some of my one brand wash days! I go through a bunch of different brands. Additionally, there is a link in my bio for my product guide! I've tried so many throughout the years, and this is a condensed version of my product knowledge.

[@chelseab1438]

How often should I use protein? I have fine 2b hair

[@sighingzephyr]

I have super fine 2b-3a hair and I use protein daily in my conditioner and in my mousse. You just want to make sure you clarify as needed.

[@elizabethyeager7705]

How do you find your curl type

[@juliegaillard1209]

Have you also tried the Briogio Curl Charisma lines deep conditioner for protein & moisture? It is so good!! I love your videos and followed you awhile now, thank you for providing great tutorials and guidance!

[@wormsinpeaches]

I think she’s done a wash day episode on this!

[@user-kk8jr1jn9s]

How do I know if I need a bond repair?

[@user-cm9ly6lk9u]

Typically, you would benefit from this if your hair is damaged (we all have some extent of damage from mechanical damage in styling, environmental damage from the sun and then chemical processes like lightening and coloring with peroxide based ingredients). Even when my hair was at its best, the Curlsmith Bond Salve really helped me with curl retention. Hope that helps ❤

[@aliathompson9166]

Please post a list of the products mentioned

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Of course! They’re all linked in the product section in the description. KZbin has a new feature that allows me to tag products directly to the video.

[@thearb2003]

Clarify I wash almost every day and have great curl days. :)

[@dennissems]

Me too. If not every wash every other. 😊

[@lynnesaunders4117]

How do you determine hair porosity?? I know i have fine dense wavy hair but i have no idea about porosity

[@christiemese]

Courtney sent in a sample to a lab a few years ago to find out her porosity. Generally, healthy, un-bleached hair is lower porosity. Those of us who color or heat style or have other types of damage are more likely to be higher porosity. Low porosity hair takes a while to get wet, water rolls off. High porosity gets wet in seconds.

[@SusanVanWig]

What worked for me was brain surgery. I had a tumor on my pituitary gland. My hair got really flat. Now one year after surgery I have curls at my roots. I cut off 6 inches and the wave just sprang up.

[@angelaharris1112]

Thank you sooo much!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Glad it helped!

[@ashanein]

I have that protein treatment by pattern beauty. It says to deep condition after.

[@JacquelynnFaye]

How do I known if my hair needs protein

[@martinabowie]

I'm a newbie here, please help me get this... the clarifying pantene shampoo has sulfates in order to clean the buildup; but, is there any effect on your hair by using sulfate free shampoos for a prolonged period of time? I've always had 3a to 3b curls, now all of a sudden my hair is getting straight. I'm not correlating the two, but just giving insight as to what made me wonder this!

[@elizabethonstage]

I just found your channel and I subscribed IMMEDIATELY 🩵🩵🩵 fellow wavy- curly girly who struggles with hair loss due to serious chronic medical illness 🙏🏻 give me all the science!!! 🎉💗

[@corneswartz2774]

Hi Courtney! How do you combine the Pantene clarifying shampoo and the Chelating shampoo? In other words how often do you use the Clarifying one and also the Chelating one? I have super hard water as well and find I have to clarify about every 2 weeks, so should I clarify after the first 2 weeks and chelate after the second 2 weeks? TIA!🌻🌻

[@Rose_Sadler]

Hi, can I do a clarifying wash, protein treatment and then a bond treatment all in same washday? Secondly, after these treatments, after rinsing, do I need to add a conditioner or do I go straight to the styling products? Thanks!!!

[@fsrewilding]

Ok I’m guessing this is the Pattern treatment mask that we want to get for the serious protein. I couldn’t find a link in the description, but I’d definitely like to try this one.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Oh I’m sorry! It should have been linked in the products in the video. 😩

[@sighingzephyr]

It is linked it’s just not the correct photo that Courtney used. There are two product links that show Patter, it’s one of those two.

[@Monkeyjelly]

Again on the first viewers 🎉🥰

[@scully4life]

When I shoot for a cast, I usually end up with a really stringy look. Not sure why, but the cast is always really hard to get out and my hair looks super stringy, no matter what gel I use. BTW, I love your videos so much! You explain everything so well, and I usually need explaining so badly, lol.

[@carlsbarkleh]

This happens to my hair too!

[@StephanieFrey]

@swavycurlycourtney Totally not a curly hair question/comment but is your shirt a KB, Brandon Lake or Etsy t-shirt? I am assuming the shirt says “Turns Graves into Gardens”. My daughter passed away on Fathers Day 2021 and I would love to get a t-shirt like this.

[@Rose_Sadler]

Is the Pattern Treatment Mask the protein treatment you mentioned?

[@luanaheidemann520]

How often should you clarify when trying to get your curls back?

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

I would do once a month.

[@fyoosh]

What would be a good sulfate-free clarifying shampoo, in your opinion? I'm not requesting sulfate-free because of CGM, but because I'm allergic to them, and would rather not have a bunch of pustules on my scalp 😕

[@christiemese]

That Pantene volumizing shampoo she held up is one she's talked about in several of her videos.

[@katyjohnsonsiedentopp4485]

So helpful! I’m 8 months pregnant and my hair has been curling less and less with each month. I’m hoping the curls come back after pregnancy even more! I have tried clarifying and protein treatments. I use the brown protein treatment mask from shea moisture. Does that one have enough protein in it vs the blue one you held up? Thank you for your help!

[@martinabowie]

hormones play a role in curls! I've read pregnancy can lead to curls being less defined and estrogen having a particular effect on the hair pattern, so that's another thing to take into consideration

[@katyjohnsonsiedentopp4485]

@@martinabowie great to know! Thank you 😊

[@kassied5086]

How often do you wash your hair?

[@Terecita47]

PS why is the Pattern Protein mask so intense?

[@janabeckman545]

I get a good cast if I do not diffuse or only diffuse 30% dry. Should I use more product if I plan to diffuse to 90% dry?

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Now that is interesting! Do you get decent cur enhancement/shrinkage?

[@ginah8023]

Could you recommend a good drug store leave in for fine hair ?I find every leave in to heavy and they weigh my hair down. I used to use as I am leave in but that doesn’t have enough slip.
