Curly Hair Rules I Don't Follow! | BiancaReneeToday

[@Immadisonmurray]

Rules I break: 1) I don't always deep condition regularly . 2)Never had a protein treatment. 3)Never did a ACV rinse.

[@BiancaReneeToday]

+Maddiebynature Ok ok! I'll allow all of those except #1!! Haha Gotta deep condition girl!!! 😜 ok I'll take that back.... if you struggle with damage, want your hair to grow faster or be healthier over all.... you need to. If your hair is already good as is.... I'll give you a pass. 👌🏽😁 Hehe!! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@Immadisonmurray]

BiancaReneeToday I'm definitely working on it 😂😂😂. I'm just lazy right now .

[@CLTransMed]

Maddiebynature protein treatment disagree with my curly hair. ACC rinse worked nicely for mine, but I don't live or die by it.

[@Jessica-om9oh]

Maddiebynature same

[@justinehorton2527]

I just did the first 2 after 2 years after my big chop. never did an ACV rinse, never will.

[@latifahjohnson5538]

Basically do what works for YOUR hair..... some things will work that you see but not all of it. Ughhhh thank you Bianca, having a crazy life behind the rules

[@BiancaReneeToday]

+Latifah Johnson EXACTLY!! 😁🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️

[@opinionatedlibra1934]

Latifah Johnson Same. I'm in college, and I work so I just stick to the basics.

[@jessicajeremiah1830]

I was watching a natural hair video and the girl suggested "WATER WASHING" I was like.. *BIH YOU MEAN RINSING YOUR HAIR*

[@BiancaReneeToday]

+Slummsweets S 😂😂😂😂😂🙌🏽

[@Moreen1224]

Slummsweets S Lmao😂😂

[@NanaNaima1]

rinsing hair is a better alternative of getting rid of some build up with out adding more product to little cleanse the hair

[@NanaNaima1]

Some people dont understand water only method, you have to first clarify ur hair no conditioner used and massage ur scalp to stimulate sebum and rub it on the length of the hair. No products are to be put in the hair just water and ur natural sebum and its a every day

[@shanittathompson2039]

Slummsweets S.... Lmao

[@nsm05311]

i don't use a diffuser 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@verejey55]

Me neither

[@lexyself243]

What is a diffuser

[@isaacdap]

@@lexyself243 it's like blow dryer but you put something over it, it's for curly hair

[@Titelle2801]

I never use edge control or sleek my edges with a toothbrush lol 🤣🤣

[@curlycalynna]

Me neither!!!

[@genesis3790]

same lol.

[@DestinySilverBlood]

I didn't even know people sleek their egdes :/

[@Jasmine-se8ou]

La Mauricienne a Nassau same, I think curly hair looks better when edges aren't laid

[@kellyhaskell3764]

Lol

[@chocolatepumpkincurlygirl8340]

Some girls, in different groups on FB,,,are actually mean to you if you don't follow the "rules". I do whatever my hair likes. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life.

[@iamkellij]

My wash day is stupid simple. Shampoo, deep conditioner for 30 minutes, leave in, aloe Vera gel. Air dry.

[@rashadheyward]

iamkellij I always wanted to try just aloe Vera gel as a styler. Do u make ur own or buy it?

[@elusnuga]

Rashad Heyward aloe vera gel doesn't have enough hold. Your hair starts getting frizzy and your waves/curls become flatter like one hour later. It works for some people, though. I used 100% pure aloe vera gel from a local brand.

[@elusnuga]

Rashad Heyward also it could make your hair frizzier than normal if you live in a very humid place since it is a humectant. Just give it a go and see it for yourself I guess :)

[@JaiSoove]

I don't cowash AT ALL anymore.. in my first few years of being natural and transitioning I did but I did't realize how much I was stunting my growth. My hair gets build up VERY easily so I have to use a shampoo or ACV rinse. Another rule that I break is that I use silicones and sulfates sometimes.. I know it's a slap in the face to the natural hair community but it honestly doesn't really cause me any damage

[@anastasia7634]

I don't section my hair when I put my styler in, it's just an unnecessary hassle since my hair is short. I also don't use oils, I haven't seen it do anything for my hair. The only protective style I use are buns and ponytails. I co wash and shampoo, because sometimes I feel like my co wash didn't wash my hair as good as a regular (curly girl approved) shampoo. Love you Bianca ❤️

[@jaylaa7920]

Idalis Calderon I dont section my hair either, I feel it just shrinks up my hair for than when I just apply it regularly.

[@Legal.Knievel]

Idalis Calderon my hair is long and super thick, so I have to section my hair (in 4s) but I wish I didn't have to, it takes more time and work.

[@curlytelly4007]

Sometimes I just sleep with my hair on my non satin pillowcase lol

[@cck6740]

I'm going through menopause and night sweats are killing me....satin just makes me hotter. I tie up my hair periodically but that's it....

[@athulyamadhu4847]

Sometimes??? I sleep without satin pillowcase alllll the time😂

[@kailam.3163]

I dont even OWN a satin pillowcase 😂😂

[@javinewhitter5393]

Aaaaaa a monster lmao

[@tamarherrera7397]

Being honest... I do not follow any "curly girl rule", I just do what I think is the best for my hair, and what works for my hair which could be totally different to anyone else. :)

[@lanascherry704]

Rules I break with my 3c hair: 1. I don't cowash...hell i didnt even know what it was til now 2. Never had a hot treatment 3. I dont really know how to comb so... What is a protective style? 😭😂 4. I dont pre-whatever 5. I rarely deep condition 6. I rarely clip my ends Well i think that's about it 😂 my hair been through tougher times so it'll be fine 😁😂

[@ladruuuu]

She is the reason I finally understand my hair👌😍 I lovee her❤

[@Gaby2Amours]

Isabelle Larbi Druant same here

[@1FrolishousBaby]

I don't pre-poo or co- wash. It's not for me and takes a lot of time lol. I did want to give not protective styles a go because the air in Utah is super dry. That actually make oils my best friend some days. Thanks for reminding us that we're all not perfect and should just do what works best for our curls #Snapfam

[@2380rsanders]

1FrolishiousBaby I'm in Utah too! I'm transitioning because I couldn't find a stylist. Do you mind if I ask, who does your curly hair? And, I'm definitely with you on the use of oils here.

[@1FrolishousBaby]

2380rsanders My mom did my hair growing up and I have attempted to have others do it and it ended poorly. Since November I have been learning my hair and taking care of it from videos like these. I found a woman in Draper that is DevaCut certified and she has been amazing at the two cuts and one dye I have had. I can give you her info. I'm also on Instagram. A friend and I have talked about starting a curly hair group in Utah foe tips, tricks and maybe product swaps

[@marieyumi1]

1FrolishiousBaby I'm in Sandy and I think I need a deva cut, can I get her information as well? My hair is so dry in Utah but I don't have time or money to do protective styles

[@jaylaa7920]

Curly Hair Rules I Break: 1. I don't sleep on a Satin or Silk pillow case 2. I haven't gotten a trim in a looong time 3. I have dyed my hair within the past year, however, i didn't bleach it but, i still dyed it 🤷🏽‍♀️ 4. I also don't do protective styles unless my hair is looking super tangled and i don't feel like washing it. 5. Never pre-pooed. I honestly dont see the importance. 6. I also don't swear my coconut oil. It honestly doesn't really do anything for my hair, but I'm going to try detangling with it to see how that works!

[@jaisensei3260]

I stopped following a lot of those rules due to me not having time for that lol 😂

[@BiancaReneeToday]

+Kyelon Lee 😂😂💕

[@curlycalynna]

Exactly, I only have an hour or 2 to wash, condition, style and dry!

[@Clauds71]

Me too 😂

[@izzys6683]

Where my curly rebels at?

[@chexmix60P]

it sounds like we break the same rules (except oil. i love jojoba oil) with those rules, i notice NO change or at least significant change. when i was transitioning from heat i did all that but i cut it out. they're too extra for me and i'm LAZY and i like a clean scalp.

[@VIsidore]

Staying away from sulfate-free shampoo is something I don't always do. I have dandruff and need a good seborrheic dermatitis remover shampoo. I can always add moisture back into my hair. I use lukewarm or cool water to rinse out conditioner. I do feel a difference. I don't use it from start to finish.

[@franceskeller4536]

Rules a break:1.) I don’t pre poo2.) I don’t rinse with cold water 3.) I don’t Cowash because I literally get waaay too much buildup and conditioners do that too often

[@ta_team808]

I break possibly the biggest curly hair rule daily and that's not starting at the bottom when I detangle

[@steph-oh2bp]

Ta_ TeaM same

[@emmaslife3610]

I top to bottom detangle the hair at the nape of my neck. There's no other way to get those tangles out

[@steaviswinson7895]

Thank you for finally explaining what a Pre-Poo, Co-Wash, and protective style is. As a newbie in this curly hair transformation, I know nothing and your videos have helped me so much in figuring out what I need to do for going all natural for the first time in 25 years 😬

[@lizzettei5831]

I feel this video! ! I don't use coconut oil and I don't prepoo. I keep it really simple and my hair thrives. Thanks for putting it out there to do what works for you, so folks don't get caught up!

[@gabrielleforges3917]

So I'm just now discovering you a few weeks ago!! Yo this video was EVERYTHING!! I've been natural all but 2 yrs of my 35 years of living and my hair always grew long and full without all this extra. I was happy about the whole natural hair movement but it pissed me off when I couldn't find a good shampoo ANYMORE. I do none of this and I find when I do all this extra stuff my hair gets stressed out. Protective styles I used to do more when I was younger but even with my curly fro and styles my hair still grows. I hate all the oils in my hair. It does nothing. Shampoo and conditioning every week and put some product that hasn't changed and gives me moisture and I've only found 3 so far is all I need. Whew Chile you're my new hair bestie

[@christinabeyah2094]

Rules I DONT follow: 1) I don't ever sleep with my hair covered 2) I don't sleep on a satin pillowcase although I own one 3) I hate and basically never use cold water either 4) I rarely put oil in my hair

[@Ely1697]

Yeahhh...I never pre-poo or really use protective styles...#guilty :)

[@aanshi247]

Rules I don't follow: 1. Never Go wash 2. No Prepoo 3. Don't trim every 6 months 4. Rarely Oil scalp/seal with oils

[@haneenalmoallim2076]

omg I love you! I just recently discovered the "curly hair community", and it's been overwhelming. What about NOT brushing your hair?? I've seen so many people say that

[@kellih.7275]

Thank you! I've been transitioning for the past year, and trying to follow 500 rules has not made the process any easier. I've never liked coconut oil because it just doesn't work on my hair. Despite being warned to wash my hair only once a week, I wash 2-3 times a week, and my hair loves it.

[@jaydenortega6566]

Kelli H. Do you wash with a sulfate shampoo or a sulfate free shampoo?

[@amarielagu5101]

I use a regular towel on my hair.

[@iLuvSpring16]

lipstickngore if u want to use a towel maybe try a microfiber towel!

[@mayfia]

🙀

[@becurious17]

Good God, noooo!! 😱

[@quirkyquinn6687]

Soso Lydia same 😊 but I wear a bonnet 🤣

[@cassandracano7675]

such an interesting and different video, rather than "DO THIS OR YOUR HAIR WONT GROW" lol

[@KinkyKoilyKayla]

To me there's no rules when it comes it your hair. Use and do whatever you want in your hair. Rules I break: -I use a denman brush -I use products that have mineral oils and all that other junk -I don't eat healthy at all. I eat what I want (never will I ever eat healthy just for some long hair..not worth it) -I use heat every now and then -I go weeks without washing my hair (at least 3) -I sleep on a cotton pillow case

[@Wrilliyana]

Kinky Koily Kayla Girl!!!! You're on fire!!😂😂😂

[@rashadheyward]

Edith Wrilliyana I fell to the floor when she said mineral oils and all that other junk 😂😂😂

[@Wrilliyana]

Rashad Heyward ikr.....i mean i use mineral oil too, my hair's ok

[@nikkifav4639]

Eating healthy will prolong your life. Start small and then work your way up. Baby steps:)

[@Kharizmah]

There is no guarantee of that. Some of the longest living people technically did not live healthy. Ex. Mr. Spock vs Captain Kirk

[@candicejames7990]

I just wanted to share this as I just noticed this tonight. Many co washes do have a soap or suds agent in them it's just not harsh so depending on which co wash you use it deffintly is not just washing with conditioner.

[@curlycyn418]

1. I use a deman brush 😮 2. I use some products that are not CG friendly 😮 3. I sometimes use medium heat to diffuse 😮

[@serenamc3971]

OOH! You should try the Function of Beauty Custom Shampoo and Conditioner! It's probably not meant for curly hair, because there's no styling product included, so I don't know about using a gel or cream or anything, but I still junk it would be interesting to see a curly girl try it!

[@lizf4731]

Serena Mc Function of Beauty has silicones in it :((

[@irocketify]

Ya girl has blue + purple in her hair so I cowash once every 5-6 days, but this is a "shampoo" laden with oils and gentle surfactants like coco betaine. it's from renpure, it actually does cleanse but does not strip + i try to use it sparingly and ONLY on my scalp in the coldest water i can stand because i don't want my color to wash out

[@cristinasantana6602]

This is so relatable. I barely follow all the natural hair rules

[@matcha8010]

I feel like doing all of the extra rules like oils and all that stuff is for people who have damaged hair and need it but after you get to a good point with your hair you don't have to be so extra with it

[@itsresamua8793]

I'm still trying to figure out the right curly hair routine for me. But I definitely dont use oils. I use shampoo, conditioner, a leave in and a gel. Anything else is too heavy for my hair

[@heatherwright3981]

Teresa Elam I know how you feel! I started 3 months ago, and I am still trying to find my holy trail products and routine, it's so frustrating!

[@angelabrown4372]

Agreed. Everything seems to weigh my hair down. Plopping helped today.

[@fionaokeefe1906]

your eyes & complexion are stunning! What's your makeup routine cuz your skin is so smooth & radiant!?!

[@akua6046]

Correction Coconut oil should not be used as a styler in AMERICA, I don't know about you but my coconut oil is actually in OIL form and doesn't change

[@Wrilliyana]

Saffron Bailes mine too

[@basiapetteway7980]

Yea I've heard that a lot of people say that American coconut oil is much different than coconut oil in it's places of origin

[@quilz_tamay]

Me too! #CaribbeanGyal

[@sarahknights4086]

Sameee.. I use the raw coconut oil.. Nothing was added to it... Just the oil.. My grandma makes her own so I use that. #CaribbeanGirl

[@drk7031]

I m not from the Us . Coconut oil hardens in cold temperatures just like high grade extra virgin olive oil . The fats solidify and melt at warm temperature.

[@Chimppk]

I'm so grateful I found your channel I started taking care of my hair recently and I became overwhelmed at some people's routine. I like to keep things simple, effective, and manageable. You give great advice and have opened my eyes to a new path in my journey. Thanks boo! Keep on rocking on!

[@know_ur_worth]

Thank you for being honest in this video because everything you mentioned in this video I was wondering if I just HADDDDD to follow those rules!!! Your the best!!!

[@samanthafigueroa8400]

I was so excited for this video because I feel so guilty when I don't do or forget to do certain things

[@aliengirl6070]

Rules I break: I wear beanies and hats lol I touch and play with my hair a lot I straighten my hair a lot (not because I don't like my hair, it's fun to me) I don't use ECO gel

[@shqy9178]

i dont do any of those EXCEPT "protective styling" . I cant always leave my hair out lol

[@dpittmsn]

OMGG THE OILS PART IS SOOO TRUE 👏🏾👏🏾🗣 ion like using oils either 😂 && ion see the point in " sealing " bc 99.99% of most leave ins is OILS 🙄

[@emo0126]

I still use shampoo. I never co wash. Only protective hairstyles when I have to work. There are a lot of curly hair rules that I don't follow.

[@shellyr5438]

Uhhhh I don't -ACV rinse -Sleep with a satin pillow case EVERY night lol - Co wash - oil - protective style - deep condition as I should - pre poo Then I wonder why my curls don't last for shit

[@itzeldelacruz5851]

Lol I do all of these and my curls dont last for shit either 🤷‍♀️

[@allyouneedislove121]

As someone who is getting back into caring for my curls the past few months, I have to say, this video helped me SO MUCH. I never dove into CGM and have always just kinda treated my curls intuitively because I like a simple routine. I don't follow most of these either, so thank you for the realness of this vid! It put my over-anxious and overwhelmed mind at ease and showed me that sometimes, simple is better 💙

[@ambertaniellemurdoch5802]

I love this video!! I love how honest you are and how you do encourage people to love their curls!!

[@buzzinbee9463]

Good advice. Love all the information provided. Gonna try the one product rule and no oil. Your hair looks beautiful always and your personality shines.

[@serenamc3971]

I dont co-wash. I have straight roots, so co washing doesn't work for me. It lie someone with straight hair only using conditioner. I just can't. But I don't mind a few oils in my shampoo as long as it still lathers. Also, I still need to get a satin pillowcase.

[@amasion2882]

The “curly hair rules” and “curly girl method/s” are meant to be more about tips and options to aid women in managing their curls. It’s good to experiment with different options and find out how your hair and scalp respond, and adjust your routines to best practice. My experience: hair/scalp care is no different from skin and body care. Usually our hair needs and benefits from different products and treatments over time. There’s usually not one single “miracle” product, ingredients, or practice that “does it all every time” for us. Sometimes I wash. Sometimes I co wash. Sometimes I clarify. Sometimes I need more moisture and styling products. Sometimes I’m product free. Sometimes I comb or brush. Sometimes finger styling is all I need. There’s good advice in curly methodology, but no one better understands your hair needs than yourself. Use what works best and pass on the rest.

[@lizafelton8784]

I think it’s really all about the hair products especially the no silicone no parabens and no sulfate! But I am just getting started on my natural curly hair. So I will try using all the rules first! Thank you for all the great advice.

[@412mystic]

I'm 3b/c and coconut oil CAN be used as a great styler. And yes co wash can cleanse the scalp if massaged properly. I'm with you on the protective style thing!

[@emmaslife3610]

Rules I break: I wash my hair every 3 days (if not it gets too dry and frizzy, plus "refreshing" is basically washing your hair) Although I try to sleep in a bonnet, I sometimes sleep without one Noooo volume! No diffuser Finger detangling is too much work; I use a tangle teezer!

[@jeaniehooper5104]

I'm so glad I found your videos! I have very curly hair ( 3b/c), and have never really known what to do with it. Recently I decided to be proactive and learn how other women care for and style their curly hair. I even learned how to trim my hair, and have layers! I love your tips and product recommendations. Thank you so much!!

[@DBUPatriotPrincess]

As a mama of 3 young mixed kids, I so appreciate the simplicity of your approach!

[@denisedominguez2746]

I dont follow curly hair rules 😩 i just do what makes me happy. I do encourage others to try them and see if it works for them. Like coconut oil is NOT for my hair. Most curly girls swear by it. The ONLY curly rule i tell everyone i help is do not touch your hair until its completely dry dont try to make it big and fluff if theres still wet parts 😩

[@eleanorohsma1803]

I swear I feel like your hair is longer every video 😩

[@thelmaortiz3673]

Bianca you’re the only one I follow. I love and appreciate all your advice and honesty. I don’t follow any of the rules you just mentioned, but I do wear protective styles. Thank you 🎀

[@forfoxsake89]

Thank you! I was worried about some of the rules because I just... I wash my hair. And I enjoy hot showers. I don't like tons of product. I don't even wear makeup 90% of the time, because I don't like products on me that I don't need to use. Natural shampoos and conditioners are a great idea that I'll be starting because I want healthy hair, but I don't want gels and oils and stuff in my hair. And I shower Every 3-4 days. With warm-hot water. I am willing to stop brushing with a brush and start finger-combing or wide-tooth combing my hair in the shower, using satin pillow case to protect my hair while I sleep, etc. but some of the other things... they're just not gonna happen for me.

[@karlaperez6177]

the only curly hair method i follow are the ones where we use silicone free hair products!

[@shelbyclark3733]

I love taking hot showers. But I never wash my hair while I'm showering. I prefer to wash it in the kitchen sink, so I just protect my hair while I'm in a hot humid shower

[@Usagi.moon.power.]

Sometimes I shampoo, I use deep conditoners, cantu curl cream and hair gel. I do sleep on a cotton pillowcase and I use a towel lol

[@clovisl381]

I'm with you..I use shampoo, conditioner, once a week a deep conditioner, leave in conditioning creme and gel

[@sarahhamdan5470]

Soo happy about this vedio especially the co-wash one!love you💙💕

[@lasalcedo5672]

i always use a denman brush but i'm trying to stop since it takes too much hair out

[@flyvirgo913]

Hahaha! Love video! We have similar hair texture and I don't do any of the same rules. I believe it all about what your hair needs. You took words out my mouth "protective hair style". What is that!

[@cherylboone8487]

Your hair is beautiful and I love your videos. I'm working on obtaining more moisture and elasticity in my hair, along with length. Loving your honesty about what you do!

[@alexisfairo]

I learned so much from the CG method. I'm just trying it out really to see if I get benefit from some things. The correct method to introduce yourself to a new method with SO MANY steps and suggestions, for me it would be to implement some, if not one, each time. If you make all the changes altogether, you don't know what's exactly that's beneficial from the routine you're following! And just for convenience I don't plan on doing some things, if there isn't an extraordinarily big benefit from doing those!

[@cellib.324]

Hey girl I agree with you I don't follow all the curly girl rules either esp. The wash with cold water . I do however use an oil occasionally. Thanks for your tips they're helpful

[@itsme-ye3iz]

Great video... I know some people say rinse with the coldest water you can stand ... I tried that and my hair was soooo dry. I prefer shampooing with lukewarm water and rinsing with cool water.

[@kellid.5213]

Thank you for this video!!!!! I am also a shampoo, conditioner and ONE STYLING product. Wash day is NOT an ALL DAY decathlon! I can’t do any more steps. I won’t!

[@reeceicycle]

Kelli Blair Davis wash day all day decathlon 😂😂😂😂 that made me laugh so hard!!!

[@ahniyahclay4460]

I don't cowash and I also don't pineapple my hair when I sleep even though everyone says you should. I also don't moisturize my hair everyday. Maybe like every 3 days

[@000MIMS]

I love silicons 🙋🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ like a do acv rinses and such to take off build up..but.... I love me some silicon...I live in 100% humidity, silicons are life

[@dj.1094]

I don't co-wash, my hair hates coconut oil, I don't pre-poo and the one rule I know everyone will get on me about...I don't shampoo in the shower. When my hair gets to a length where it could possibly go down the kitchen drain I will reconsider but I have a twa and nobody has time for a 300/month water bill for trying to follow the CGM in the shower. I don't use cold water but will do a final cool rinse 👍🏽

[@mizzinvinciblekia1548]

Girl I never follow those rules, I thought I was the only one lol. The only thing I do is use luke warm water to wash my hair but I also like hot showers so that is quite a challenge but I was able to find a compromise with that lol. I also do not section my hair that often unless I'm doing a twist out to make it go by quicker lol. I also do not deep condition as often as I should, or do any kind of treatments to it. Love this video Bianca!

[@cattpoops21]

Having curly hair is easier for me than when I used to battle it into being straight. I wash it, condition it, pop some product in and leave it to dry naturally and bam 💥 done! Having straight hair meant washing it, drying it for 25-30 minutes and then straightening it for 30 minutes!! 😱

[@Andrea11208]

Catherine Raftery and what about suffering a lot when the environment is wet, I think that was my break point, there was no even one day when I were not worried about weather and I said: "fuck it". I have been wearing my natural hair since then haha 😂

[@veronicavatter6436]

And then you got caught in a rain shower.....there goes that! All the time!

[@forfoxsake89]

Only 30 min? My thick, long hair takes almost (without exaggeration) 2 hours with a straightener -_- SO not fun! But I'm thinking I'm basically do the same as you. Wash, condition, a bit of product and let it air dry then call it good. (Just starting my transition here.)

[@kats8776]

I follow the "rinsing your hair with cool water" because it's summer (and humid), so it feels nice anyway. This might change when fall and winter come. 😘 I totally get why you don't use protective styles a lot. Your curls look amazing when they're free!!! 😂

[@lynfloyd279]

FYI: using warm/hot water is ideal for our porosity. After shampooing and conditioning, wet and section hair, applying your leave-in moisturizer simultaneously. Hot water opens the shaft and ensures that the moisture is getting into the shaft of each strand!

[@AlannaBoo524]

I use jojoba oil because it's very lightweight. I don't co-wash because it doesn't clean my hair! I HAVE to use shampoo when I wash my hair because that's the only way my hair will be clean, honestly.

[@sashagator5556]

rules i break i don't finger detangle. who got time for that. i do not deep condition regularly. on most weeks i do tho. i do not pre poo. usually. although i am starting to put tea tree and sweet almond on my scalp nights before washing so i guess that counts. i do not always put a styler or leave in or oil after washing my hair. just leave it be and i surprisingly like how my hair looks. so full and voluminous and soft. and no protective style. ya that's it that i can think of lol

[@VirtueWithin]

I'm with you on some of these: I don't co-wash, I don't pre-poo and I don't use coconut oil. I do protective styles only when I feel like it. I like how you encourage others not to get so stressed out, because that's EXACTLY what could happen especially when they're initially trying to embrace their natural texture.

[@bolts52005]

So I just caught that you wash your hair!! I loved hearing that, However I wish I had heard that a year ago! I did the CG no sulfates for a year and half...my hair started falling out pretty much right away. I thought it was my thyroid acting up and making me lose my hair, never would of thought it was because of no sulfates in my shampoo...I truly believe it was because I wasn't cleansing my scalp...I'm so sad I missed this! Anyways lesson learned. CG method is not for every curly girl that's for sure! Thanks for your honestly and I hope my thinning stops that's for sure! Love following your videos!

[@aida087]

I uh: 1. no satin scarf/bonnet/pineapple 2. no protein treatments 3. no hot oil treatments I do: 1.Oil prepoos 2. scalp massages w/oil 3. Diy deep conditioner 4. Cowash once a week 5. Use acv as shampoo 6. Rinse w/warm or cool water. 7. Section off hair 8. Use Denman brush/wide-tooth comb for detangling IIII think I'll take a break from the second list and start doing the first list for a month to see if my limp, weak nonexistent 3c curls come back.😢

I don't use coconut oil ever! I don't co-wash, I don't protective style, I don't use oil to seal my hair. I use warm to hot water on my hair!

[@ashleydemarciatesiawilliam192]

you're curls are so cute! you make me proud to be a 3b!

[@c.a.fontaine7047]

Rules I break. 1. I don't eat healthy. 2. I don't deep condition regularly. 3. I wash my hair almost everyday. 4. I always air dry.

I wash my hair every other day. I can't go longer than day two. My hair gets nasty. And I use a sulfate shampoo once a month to get the buildup out of my hair. Forgive me, Lorraine Massey, for I have sinned against curl kind.

This is totally me.....I don't do anything as a routine and I literally just wet my hair put some "guck" on it and hope for the best.....I do need to find my thing though!! I would like to stop the shrinkage a frizz....I do use some of the products you suggest....I guess I want to start taking my hair seriously ....you have hair that is closest to my texture ...so I am glad I found you on here....Thank you for the tips!

Your hair looks amazing! You clearly don't need to do any of those things in order to have healthy, great looking hair.

[@LadieBjj]

Me too. I only use 3 products, shampoo, conditioner and styler. I hate oils!

[@gladysluna2533]

I love this! This video made me subscribe. I started looking into the natural curly hair care because my hair is very dry and damaged from bad habits (daily washing, using the cheapest hair spray I could find). I just want to have a routine to get strong, healthy hair. I don't have the time or resources for allllll the rules.

I have started growing my hair for a few months now and I find that protective styling does indeed work. I do comb twists a lot and I leave it in for maybe a couple weeks and when I take them out my hair growth is amazing.

I sleep with my hair down and out. No satin pillow case. Yet it doesn't get messed up.

[@melodymaker9711]

Wow! Thanks for the honesty. I could not do that!

[@mavieayman2696]

I never use a styler

[@aditimukhopadhyay5047]

1. I use styler with silicone (CG friendly products are not easily available in India) 2. I sleep on a cotton pillow case 3. Never co wash 4. I use sulphate once a month

[@JWildberry]

My three CG goals (aside from healthy, more defined waves): -Cheap, but great products. Preferably no more than 4-5 of them. -Quick routine with consistent results -No wasted effort on things that do nothing for my hair
