Curly Girl Method NEW journey | Products Im Using

[@beautywearsboots6458]

Swavy curly Courtney did a video about the new zotos line and she reached out to the company in regards to the isopropyl alcohol. She shares their response in that video, so it's a great resource for anyone who is interested in the products but concerned about the alcohol. TLDW, it's a very small amount of alcohol and it's needed to activate another ingredient. They say that the quantity they use completely evaporates off, so they aren't actually required to list it, and it may be used in other products that don't list it.

[@kathleenphipps2532]

Please don’t feel you need to apologize We’re all so happy for you Focus on you and your baby 💕

[@ZotosProfessional]

Thanks Curly Susie!!! We're so happy you're loving our new All About Curls Lo Lather Cleanser! As for the Isopropyl Alcohol that's listed on some of our ingredient listings - there is a very small amount that's present as a solvent in one of our key conditioning agents called Behentrimonium Chloride. Because we use the alcohol as merely a solvent, it is present at a low, insignificant level, and does not contribute to hair dryness - nor decrease the moisturization and de-frizzing properties of the products.

[@CurlySusie]

Hey!!! Thank you for the update. I’ll spread the word. Great line up of products ❤️❤️❤️

[@kellydowell3050]

Ok

[@MichelleJune67]

Congrats on your pregnancy ...I wish you good health..As a mom of 7 it is a blessing.. I am 52 years old and you are one of the 1st people I watched on my 50th to decide to finally except my curly hair. It was a struggle at the beginning but after the 2 year struggle my hair is down the middle of my back and my curls look better and better..P.s. my hair was exactly your length now. Cut it to start the journey after 20 years of pure bleach and straightening... so for those out there as frustrated now as I was then it will happen!!!!

[@iamtina67]

* Michelle * hey, I we are like journey twins. I embraced my curls at 50 and am 52 now. It’s been quite a struggle and, Suzy ‘s videos really helped me out so so much.

[@MichelleJune67]

I really love your short hair! I think it looks fantastic on you! Love the color too in the natural light! Beautiful

[@tammydowell3723]

Yes. I've missed your hair videos. Your one of my favorite KZbinr.

[@Hello0x0]

It's so crazy I was just admiring your hair and how beautiful your new cut is, it looks so light and delicate/feminine!! Your amazing!!

[@alisonallover]

Your natural color is so gorgeous! I love dark hair and the lighting is showing your warmer tones, and it just looks so pretty. 🤩

[@debrarubin-roberts864]

SUSIE! As always you are beautiful, authentic and sincere! So glad to see and hear that you are feeling better!

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

You look great Susie and it's good to see you again. I love your hair short like this but you've gotta do what makes you happy.

[@raechelewhite7788]

I just cut my hair short as well to grow it out healthy again. I miss my long hair but the damage was so severe that I know I made the right decision starting fresh! It's a bit shorter than yours and I still haven't gotten rid of all the lengths that have been colored, so I have a ways to go to reach healthy curls. But it's definitely worth it. Your curly videos are some of the first that I found to help me with some methods to get my curls back, so thank you! And congrats! I also love following your pregnancy updates.

[@PrchrsWife1]

Just wanted to thank you! I have straightened my curly hair for literally decades and only recently decided to embrace them. Your no nonsense, keep it simple & affordable approach has been a huge help to me. Who knew, I am just now learning how to care for and embrace the curls I've had my entire life. (I need to update my profile pic) And blessings to you, your family & new baby!

[@patricialowry9140]

If you're looking for a new curl creme that works well and is affordable, try the Marc Anthony Curl Envy Curl Creme (NOT the lotion). My hair is a lot like yours and it has become a favorite! Not too heavy or too light, perfect for 2C3A.

[@michelleboutros4806]

Hey Susie, I'm so thankful for all of your videos. I started the CGM over a year ago and your videos helped me so much. I have tried store bought products like tresseme or Cantu or Shea Moisture. Then I started using DevaCurl low poo, wavemaker, ultra defining gel. Then switched to curl cream instead of wavemaker becausy hair felt dry and I add the foam. I had good results, but then it felt like the products changed when I bought new products. Then I stumbled upon Innersense. Wow! It has brought out my curls and I thought I was more wavy. I can't remember if you ever did a video on Innersense, but these products have changed my hair. Just thought to let you know to see if you want to try it and do a video 😁. Have a great day!

[@jenniferc6868]

I’m so excited about my hair day! We have a small boat, and enjoy it over the summer here in humid Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Don’t enjoy the hair at the end of the boat trip though.Today, I had great 2nd day hair, put a buff on bending over, and piled hair loosely in it on top of my head. My hair is shoulder length, so I wore a regular sun hat with a brim , over the buff and away we went. We got to our destination, I took off the hat and buff, and my hair was awesome! Took a few minutes to settle down, but with a mist of water, it looked better after a day on the boat in the heat, wind, humidity than when I left home 6 hrs before.

[@irairod5160]

That is your natural hair color? My goodness, it's spectacular!

[@peachsouffle5605]

Irai Rod wyes! Such a rich brown with glowing undertones, yummy!

[@badmothertucker6579]

[@samanthamay5636]

You should try the 1,2,3 method. 3 gel products. I started with the bioterra, then the Camille rose curl maker, then the la looks gel. It was life changing for me! I would love to see what it does to your hair!

[@itsjustmesallie353]

Oh no! Just found your video, looking for shorter hair curly video. Late congrats on your new baby! Your hair length is DARLING on you!!

[@emmamacgregor731]

Great to see you, Susie, and SO happy for your wonderful news!!!! Your hair is stunning! Both long and short hair look fab....so you do what works for you. Blessings.

[@angelag669]

You look really great. It is so good to see you doing so well. Your hair looks fantastic. I like it short but it would look good at any length. I don't think you need to worry about the alcohol in the Zotos products. The company says they only use a small amount as a solvent during production and the alcohol is all evaporated by the time the products are bottled. They are not actually required to list it on the label but because they are an honest company they list it anyway.

[@ZotosProfessional]

Thanks Angela!

[@IndieJuli]

I highly recommend the giovanni mousse/foam in a pump. It's mainly organic ingredients, no aerosols and no polyquats. So better for your hair and the environment. Also the pump container can be reused for liquid soap. I mix it 50/50 with water and it makes perfect soap mousse which makes the soap refills last ages and you need way less water for washing hands. Also easiest application for kids.

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Hey..glad you're feeling well. You look great and so does your hair!!! 💇

[@jodycourt]

Congrats on your pregnancy! I purchased Biotera because one of your previous videos and I LOVE it! thank you so much for your recommendations!

[@janetmacdonald9209]

I loved Bioterra gel when I was using Deva, but it doesn't seem to do the trick now that I'm using AG products. :(

[@MonicaD444]

@@janetmacdonald9209 That’s a shame! I started transitioning back to curly hair last month. I can’t afford Deva products so I have found some products that I love (Not Your Mothers Natural (conditioner), Shea Moisture (Miracle Styler Leave-in Treatment) and Curls (Crème Brule whipped curl cream) and this gel now. I live in Florida where it is extremely humid. Plus I bleach my hair. I have VERY THICK, coarse hair. These products have been working like a charm for me-finally! I had been straightening my hair since I moved to FL 10 years ago because I couldn’t get a decent hair day. I did Keratin 1-2 times per year and flat ironed it all the time. It still looked dry, but I thought that was the best I could do. So glad I found all these videos! They have been so helpful through this process:)

[@Larea81]

My favorite product for underneath gel is the Uncle Funky’s curl activator. Did you try the Zoto’s cream? In my experience, Wave Maker really made my hair look and feel dry. I guess that just goes to show how different we all are. 💛💛💛

I just wanted to say I appreciate I ate your common sense approach for curly method. Your program is simplistic and affordable. A for release everyday approach. Thanks

Thanks Christina, can't wait to hear what you think about All About Curls & Biotera!

[@chrystalgreene892]

I’m happy to see you back and congratulation on your healthy pregnancy. I take Biotin for faster hair growth but it does nothing for me on healthy or thicker growth. Whenever the last of my dyed hair grows past my shoulder to cut it off I will be so happy. I’m just fine with my 39 year old silver glitter in my dark hair. :)

[@jaimezuniga4702]

I love and prefer your short hair but it looks great long too! I also find deca curl wave maker and bioterra gel to work the best with my hair.

[@Jennifer-hw6vt]

I like the idea of doing a big chop to remove all the dyed and damaged hair but I am so excited to see you grow your hair long. I have been trying to grow my hair long for years but now that I’m adopting the CGM I’m hoping to join you in growing my hair too!

[@newsystemgirl]

Yayyy! This haircut is super cute, but I LOVED your long hair!!

[@CurlySusie]

Agree! I need long hair & it’ll be interesting if it looks much different after a chop

[@dianbabu25]

Hi! If youre looking to try something cheaper than wavemaker, you could try cantu for kids curling cream (I like it more for cost, smell, definition). It isn't whipped like wavemaker, but I mix it with SM JBCO leave in to lighten it to apply to soaking wet hair and biotera gel to style/refresh

[@musicandart78]

this hair cut the makeup you look fab!!

[@karenmonroe2058]

Went ahead and bought the Cantu conditioner and the bioterra gel. I am liking the Cantu curl activator and the revitalizer so we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for all your help!

[@christinealexandra1381]

Yesss. You look pretty with it short, but the long hair is sooooo stunning. Worth the chop though to get the damage off. I can't wait until I get to that point.

[@meerab6457]

I recently switched to innersense, they are more pricey but really use the best ingredients all organic and natural stuff. Plus their process makes smaller molecules than any other product which means you need less because the ingredients can penetrate the hair shaft.

[@meerab6457]

Highly recommended if you want less chemicals, especially while you are growing a human!

Yay! I'm still working on the trims getting the rest of my damaged hair off but my goal is also trying to grow it out once it's healthy!

How do you know it's a dupe?

[@curlybibliophagist2]

@@janetmacdonald9209 it's a generic version of the name brand. It says compare to... on the bottle and it is on the shelf next to the name brand. I think the shampoo feels nicer and it feels like it washes more.

I really love your videos. I am so glad you are feeling better I want to try the Lo Poo shampoo you are using. I really like Sally. I got that Cantu conditioner you are using and had to take it back because the smell just lingered too much. Have you ever tried any Urban Hydration products? I found them "by accident" at TJMaxx, but some of their line is sold at Sally and at Target. I really love their Avocado & Argan Oil Styling Cream. I mix it with the BioTerra Gel. Have a great week!

[@cyndikehrli8389]

I cut my hair off about 6 years ago to about 1.5 in long due to family circumstances and no time to deal with my hair. It was fine for about a year. Then I got bored and started growing it out. Now it’s almost to my waist. I love having long hair again. It’s more work, for sure. But I love it. I like anything Shea Moisture makes. I use the Cantu Hydrating Cream Conditioner ( its a keeper), As I Am Cowash. For styler I use either Andalou Gel (awesome product), Shea Moisture Frizz -Free Curl Mousse, Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie, Shea Moisture Co-Conut Leave in. Deep conditioner : Eden Jojoba Natural Deep Conditioner. I don’t like Deva Curl products at all. I tried Wave Maker and was totally disappointed after using it 4 times. My hair is 2C with some 3A. Best of luck to you. I really enjoy your videos!

[@annaburns5382]

If you really want to continue with Deva Curl Wavemaker, you can buy it online at Nordstroms for much cheaper and free shipping. I tried WaveMaker and it did nothing for my hair....in fact it made my waves fall out! I finally broke down and tried homemade flaxseed gel with aloe vera juice added (a very watered down version for my hair) and I am delighted with it. Good curls, good body, a ton of shine, and it's so cheap it's almost free.

I had to chop my 2c-3b hair dye to a stylist error and I’m growing it back out. You should do the Denman brush again, at least once while your hair is shorter and/or play with bumping up the volume.

Curly Susie its awesome. I’ve used it by itself and it’s wonderful. Gives an AMAZING cast to crunch which leaves soft curls. Really worth the try. And they offer travel sizes to try the product.

nosillaRVA i really liked the orange marmalade for about the first week or two after I got it but then I started noticing it was giving me a flash drying effect and made my hair dry and tangled😩 I wanted to love it so bad

[@nosillarva]

Leah Sullivan did you use anything with it? I use a leave in and a curl cream. Rake and use spraying hands then scrunch. Then scrunch with my devatowel... put some mouse in there and then diffuse or air dry. It turns out amazing every time. And how much are you using? It’s a product you have to get the right amount of. If you use too much, it can be bad.
