I’m a licensed stylist who has wavy hair on a good day lol may I just say this was the most informative and captivating video I’ve seen yet online for curly haired people. I’ve watched it from start to finish and in no way have hair even a smidge close to this! Your hair is literally what I’ve always dreamed of having! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@deppfan85]

Raye Webber I feel you. My natural texture is like a poofier version of the beachy waves everyone’s been into lately. I’d die for my hair to be even like her “before” even just every once in a while.

[@DanaAmundsen]

why is having curly hair so COMPLICATED

[@iamnotmyhandle]

Because it is a privilege.

[@roxanne1951]

Because there are so many different types of curly hair. Because without all the complicated processes most of us just have a fuzzy mess with no curl definition. Because curly hair basically sucks. I grew up up in the 60s before all the curly hair products.

[@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094]

@@iamnotmyhandle You just made me feel so guilty. 😭👍

[@iamnotmyhandle]

@@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094 I take it you don't have curly hair. Well...if us curly girls can survive being shamed about our "wild and crazy" curls and living in a world that for decades has promoted straight hair as the beauty standard, then you'll be okay.

[@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094]

@@iamnotmyhandle Um, it was a compliment, sorry. My hair is so curly and living in the south with 100+ temps and what feels like 1000% humidity, I had long given up on it and have spent the last decade in a pony tail. In the last 2 weeks I've been watching these videos and actually TRYING to make my hair look like less of a frizzy mess, only to be met at the front door with torrential rain and a literal sauna outside. I think you know how depressing that can be. On top of that, the Aveda products I finally tried turned my hair to straw, and the deva curl after that turned it into grease. Now I have a greasy straw disaster going on, which makes the tropical storm we lived with just the cherry on top of a horrendous start to "bettering" my hair. Having to sit through work looking like a wet hay bail isnt exactly a fun life experiencr. When you said "Its a privilege" it was a compliment and made me feel like I need to stop being such a curmudgeon and keep trying, and hopeful that ONE day maybe something will work, and I will be able to actually wear my hair down for the first time without the use of a straightener. Hopefully your situation is better. God bless.

This was the most helpful curly hair video I have found! I struggle all the time with “Do I need protein? Do I need moisture? Do I need to clarify? Do I need to just give up?” I followed your process this morning and my hair looks amazing!! Thank you so much for this video!!!!!

[@FunkyMachoChicken]

I'd love to see something similar to this video for refreshing between washes. Like assessing your hair and discussing what makes you decide which products to use, how much to use, or whether it's time to give up and have a wash day for various next-day problems you encounter.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Thats a good idea and I think i could put something together!!

[@cambriaharris2427]

Ooo. I need this too!

[@adriennelang7162]

Yesssss. This!

[@alamosa811]

YES!!!

[@ATruantPortrait]

I agree, would love if gym tactics could be addressed as well. I have very loose curls that frizz and disappear, I struggle to get beyond 4 days for washing. This video helped a lot!

[@marz6823]

I love that you’re applying logic and reason to your choice of products. I really learned a lot from your videos. Before your channel I thought that I should go protein free for low porosity hair but now I see how you assess the condition of your hair and apply products accordingly. Looking forward to more videos from you!

[@kimwine6336]

I HATE putting clothes on directly out of the shower, too. The WORST is a bra. I need a good 15 minutes first, lol!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

YUP! i typically wait even longer haha

[@kw9299]

I got into this bizarre habits of blow drying my whole body! lol...TMI coming up! It started in the summer, I'd blow dry under my boobs before putting on my bra because hot days = sweat. So, I'd cool blast underneath. Then cold weather came and it just felt nice to be blasted with a warm breeze. Please don't judge me...haha

finally a before and after picture where the person is smiling on both! :D i mean on pictures like these they are usually gloomy on the first and happy on the second, of course the happy one is better. but now we can truly see the difference ^^

[@sambucklerandco]

This is SO helpful! I love how you really looked at each step critically to decide what your hair needs, and also that you were flexible and okay with changing it up when needed. I am looking forward to getting really familiar with my own hair's needs like this as a I go along!

[@MirandaGibson1220]

Oh my God.! I've been searching, for years, for more wavy/curly girls to follow to teach me more about my curls. Can't believe I just stumbled upon this video. So excited to look more into your channel 😁💙

It’s actually insane the difference in your hair from the beginning of the video to the end. My hair is very similar to the beginning stage of this video and now I’m currently sitting with Olaplex 3 in my hair and afterward apply one of my favourite treatments Joico Intense Moisture treatment. So this video gives me hope!

[@finchbaby]

Gosh one of the most informative and universally applicable tutorials I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Great job

[@nospina12]

I’ve been binge watching you and the way you speak and organize your videos make me think you’re a teacher 😂 your videos are very informative! Thanks! When I was a baby I had very curly hair and as I got older (I’m only 30) my hair thinned out and i styled it as if i had straight hair but you’ve inspired to start my curly hair journey! Wish me luck

[@northernlights9684]

Thank you so much for this informative vid. My daughter has curls and I’m from a complete curl free family. I have no idea what to do to make her curles justice. They are so wonderful, and I want her to be proud of her awsome hair. This made me more aware of what to consider!!

[@NinaBitesBk]

I am subscribing because one day is not the next day and you took the time to explain what to look for at that one moment so that you can make the best hair care choices for that day.

[@gabbyshappy]

So thankful to find this video when I did! I am a couple months into CG Method and that's EXACTLY the cross roads I was at - I know the WHATS and I've been doing them for a bit - but knowing more about why you do what you do so you can see when that certain step is or isn't necessary - is so important! I feel like this helped me with exactly what you hoped it would - just gain a big of control over my own experience. When you're still learning you pretty much just do what others have done and hope it works - now that I have a good baseline I feel like I can change small things to see the good or bad results for MY hair. Thanks a bunch :)

[@deebellezzi675]

You have such a wonderful way of explaining the how's, when's, & what's! A gigantic thank you for giving so much of yourself to all of us curly's! You rock girlfriend! 💝🤗👍🐶😘

[@leannaarmstrong]

Stumbled upon your channel today. At first I was impatient, but then quickly realized what a gem this video is! So informative and great job explaining this. That impatience only shows my lack of knowledge and there is no quick fix to have fantastic hair. It’s a process as you’ve explained. Love it and Now Subscribed ;)

[@kmielebe]

Really informative hearing your thought process and seeing the problem solving in action. Please do more of these videos.

[@MrApocalypse815]

Those are some amazing curls you've got there! I only just started the CG-method and I am eager to know the results that happen in time. Thanks for the video. You are a sight for a sore eye. xoxo

[@summrjoy]

I am so happy you shared this video. Since I can remember my hair looks like your hair in the first part of the video. I have always struggled with frizzy waves that have caused me to be self conscious about my hair for YEARS! To ‘fix’ my hair I tend to blow dry, straighten, or curl it but still end up being frizzy. Well in all my baby pics I had an Afro of curly curls!!! I’m definitely type 2b/c but my hair has been mistreated for so long. I’ve started my curly journey and I hope to have pretty bouncy curls like yours some day. Thank you!

[@jbravo2429]

Omg your hair looks amazing, great definition and volume

[@brittanyszymankiewicz4805]

Please come up with more “WHY” videos :) super helpful for the beginning, it help me feel more confident before I ask any WHATs :)

[@Ken-Mar]

Love your videos. This particular video helped me figure out that my hair needed protein. I’m new to the curly girl community and I have realized curly hair changes due to different elements. Can you do a video on how to determine if your hair has too much protein or moisture? Seeing a strand with too much protein or moisture would really help.

[@reibalachandran4775]

Wow! The result is AMAZING! Your hair is SO beautiful!

[@stephgordon7734]

Wow, that is some happy hair! Well done, it looks amazing. Thanks for explaining moisture vs protein, seems like every product I look at (especially for fine hair) is all about protein!

[@DiamondGirlMW]

I would like to say wow!!! I ran across this video randomly. But Omgawd this is exactly what I have been trying to figure out my whole 52 years of life. When I was a lil girl, my mother brushed my hair and I looked like at 4 years old, a wild crazy poof out of control. I have long, thick, course, very dry, very curly hair that I try a zillion products trying to "rejuvenate" and moisturize my hair so that my curls have shape, definition without the frizz. I am about to go watch all your videos and attempt to answer my why and what and how questions. THANK YOU so much!!! I learned more from this one video than I have on my own ever!!! 👏👏👏💖.

I love the Olaplex #3 !! Awesome product ! Thank you so much for this video :]]] I’ve been watching videos and reading articles about the basics of when you need protein vs moisturizer and porosity indications and everything else BUT it was very overwhelming. Seeing you revaluate and make decisions in real time (while your hair is WET) is super super helpful! Thank you !

[@carmenpagnotta7813]

I love this video. I’m still a little confused on protein etc. I’d love a quiz I could take to find what my hair needs because I’m starting to believe it just is the way it is and I can’t change it. I tried an aphogee protein treatment once and didn’t really see results but my hair is very moisturized and can get weighed down by products. It’s less and less curly as I get older and harder to get definition and volume. definitely going to have to look at your styling routine. I don’t usually apply product half way through. Then again I’m usually wash and out the door.

I came across this video because i’m struggling with my hair right now. My texture and curl pattern have changed DRASTICALLY over the past year, and i’m learning what is needed for my hair type and why. There are still many things i don’t know yet (which i thought i did) but experimenting with new products gets confusing and expensive. Could you make a video in the future going in depth what forms of protein in hair products there are, when to use leave-in conditioners, styling creams, gels, according to your hair type? Sometimes i feel overwhelmed doing research on what best suits my hair, using minimal products. Love the curls btw!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I try to avoid going into specifics on other hair types simply because I can’t personally test it. I can however break down products and when to use them etc, generally. What is your hair type? Maybe in the mean time I can point you in the direction of someone similar so you can learn from their experience?

[@jeannerose9238]

Very informative video - thank you! Could you mention a few of the stylers you might have used that contain protein?

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]
