[@arielblumenduft3293]

[@LifePlanner365]

1:28 don't use sulphate, silicone, parabens, mineral oil, waxes, and drying alcohols 3:51 don't use any heat 5:01 fight frizz don't dry your hair with a terry cloth towel use a satin pillowcase instead of cotton. 10:28 have patience and be motivated

[@goldfish1871]

Honestly, the tip of putting hair gel in the shower is something that really encouraged me to wear my hair curly. I’ve tried the plop method, the silicon and sulfate free shampoos and conditioners, and eliminating heat but for whatever reason I couldn’t figure out how to eliminate the frizz and get curl definition. Thank you so much for simplifying the method and products to use when first starting out.

[@CurlySusie]

Thanks for watching !!

[@dancingdelilah8742]

I am happy to say I decided not to give up on the Curly Girl method. So I've continued using the sulfate free shampoos/conditioners. I now use the Tee Shirt instead of towels. And after watching more of your videos I've tried the "casting" with gel. And I now scrunch, scrunch, scrunch, let air dry. And slowly my curls are "remembering" to bounce back! Even my neighbor who is use to seeing my frizzy, out of control dry mess of hair has commented on how beautiful my hair is looking! My hope is in a month or so my natural curly hair is gonna look amazing. And it's already starting too! All these years I fought against my curly hair by flat ironing & curling with a curling iron. All because I didn't know how to work with my natural curls. I'm so happy I found your videos!! I have you to thank for teaching me the correct way to handle my curly hair!! 💕

[@CurlySusie]

Thank you so much for your comment. I was you almost a year & 1/2 ago now & I will never go back. I’m not going to lie, I’ve had a couple of bad hair days, especially In my early stages of trying new techniques and products but my hair is a million times better. I watched one of my first videos today & I can’t believe the difference in my hair since then. Keep it up! You’ll be very happy you did ❤️

[@Liztastaney7]

Newest curly on the block. No more straighteners.

[@CurlySusie]

You can do it!!

[@nicoladouglas3270]

Curly Susie Hello:-) I'm just starting!! hair a little crazy at the mo but I'm going to stick with it!! and it's quite liberating to be free of straighteners and damaging hair products!!! I have always had frizzy hair and it's very thick!! but I can see curls forming on the root and bottoms of my hair but the middle just wavy,do you have any advice on what to do ? thanks Susie any advice would be great thank you:-)

[@melaniewallace1289]

Great tips! Thanks from a woman who has had good hair days by accident, likely when using cooler water, I now realize thanks to you. It seems like a lot of work, but honestly, I’m working hard right now, and not satisfied with the results. Maybe i can unlearn bad habits and try some new ones. I have avoided the CG method since it seemed that I’d need to jump in with both feet. But I’m gonna try the ‘two things’ and see how it goes. Thanks for posting!

[@karleecysewski1151]

My daughter (age 11) has your same hair type, and your videos are AMAZING! I’ve never dealt with curly hair before, and she’s getting to the age where she really cares. Your videos are easy to watch and understand. We watch them together and try out your tips. Thank you again for posting! ❤️

[@cindyanaka4506]

I am on day 11 doing the curly girl method, I am so encouraged by your videos! In this short time of 11 days, I find that my hair is finicky...great days mixed with not so great. I'm going to keep going with it because its sooooo much easier to do my hair now! I absolutely love that part. And, I know my hair will only get better and better!

[@deekayvixen]

Wow, I am impressed with you video. I’ve watched a bunch of CG method videos and yours is so easy to understand for a newbie. I have long, thick, wavy (2a/2b) and UNRULY hair, just discovering CG and it can be overwhelming. Subscribed :-)

[@CurlySusie]

Thanks a million :)

[@smallfootprint2961]

I'm older and am letting my hair grow out. Glad I found you. I'll give it a try, but right now, I'm discouraged. Thanks for posting. Yes, it is motivating. Just had it cut all one length. I don't think it's a good way to cut it, but it's what I hoped would work. I'll let you know.

[@shadowandholly]

The hardest part is not taking a hot shower to wash my hair. I loveee hot showers :c

[@Amy-jj8gy]

Kyomi I don’t know if this would work for you, but I wash my hair in the kitchen sink. That way I can do a cold rinse and enjoy warm showers without wet hair all over everything.

[@shadowandholly]

Amy I've actually been trying this. It works amazing C:

[@reaeve121]

MEEEEE! Uggh

[@_iamnotsober]

Kyomi i will ONLY take cold to lukewarm showers. no exceptions. i grew up in denver, and weirdly enough, have ended up in texas. i hate the heat with a burning passion, and it might as well be hot year round, with no more than three weeks of cool temperatures. the only escape i get is the wonderful feeling of a cold shower.

[@shadowandholly]

@@_iamnotsober Lmao my situation is completely opposite XD we have longer winters in Jersey and I can't stand it so i love taking hot showers. Can't wait to move somewhere with warm weather 😭

[@dipasreeroychowdhury1228]

Thank you soooo much. I am trying to follow cg method recently...and I was sad and demotivated looking at the list of costly items people use for defined curls. your method just worked like wonder... I used diy flaxseed gel.. And I am loving it😍

[@reignrubio8]

It's so hard to have a natural frizzy and wavy hair 😭 too much work

[@CurlySusie]

I feel your pain, but once I figured out the CGMethod it was a game changer!!

[@FeloniousAngel]

I brush my hair when it's dry before the shower. It's satisfying and effective and when I wash it it goes back to the way it sits normally. I never hear people suggest this, but it feels like a clear solution. Some people think it breaks more when it's dry, but I definitely think it breaks more when it's wet. I tried not brushing my hair, but it's so much more satisfying to run a brush through it.

[@ghost4294]

yeah same I have 2a/2b/3c hair and I saw that you're supposed to brush when wet but for me I would brush it when wet and it would weigh down everything and pull my curls apart. So basically now I brush it when dry but with a wide toothed comb, not a full brush

[@lysak89]

I'm planning on starting the curly girl method soon, and your videos are great! This one in particular was a good one to watch. I was getting confused with how to start, and this helped clear my confusion and I'm now feeling more confident!

[@CurlySusie]

You should 100% do it just get yourself a good conditioner, do your final sulphate wash & give it a try 💜

[@crisdeltoro8568]

I’m really gonna try this because my hairs been frizzy my entire life and I didn’t know about the silicone and sulfate products!!! I really want to have a curly hair ://

[@CurlySusie]

You 100% should. Just know there is a transition period where your hair doesn’t look great while it is remembering how to curl!

[@crisdeltoro8568]

Curly Susie thank you so much for the tips!!!

[@chelsey8737]

I have straight hair but as I get older, Ill get 1 random curl right in the front and my mom and brother have curly/wavy hair. I want to see if this makes my hair a little wavy but the CGM is so daunting. This is helpful!

[@Dontincludeme]

I turned 30 in June ‘20 and my hair always looked basically straight with a very very mild wave. My grandma had curly hair, my mom has wavy hair, and my dad has straight hair. Then in early October ‘20, I started noticing a little section of hair on the right going wavy. Like even after I’d comb it, the wave would stay. So after doing some research, I started applying some of the techniques, and now the waves are gradually taking over both sides. So far, I’ve just been consistently using a T-shirt instead of a towel, and squishing in my conditionner, and not combing after it’s dry (I do that in the shower). I haven’t figured out the next part yet, all the gel etc stuff once you get out of the shower, but I bought flaxseed today to make gel. I actually need to get it cut, maybe with some layers, it’s too long for the waves to really come out, I think

[@neairaallegiere54]

Just starting on my curly girl journy at age 30. I always thought I had stright to wavy hair but turns out I actually have curls O_O So happy though, I always wanted curls! Thanky uo for this informative video, I'll check out your links.

[@CurlySusie]

Hi Neaira! So glad it was helpful & congrats on your curls.

[@Sarahopal]

Your hair is gorgeous! Thanks for the tips. One thing I found that has saved my curls is aloe vera gel. It is the only product I use now in my hair after I wash it (I only wash with silicone, sulfate, etc free and I only wash it a couple times a week). No alcohol added, just the stuff you use for sunburns. It is absolutely AMAZING! I add some before I pat it dry and run my fingers through it then scrunch my hair with a little bit more. Most days I just dampen it with a spray bottle and add a little more Aloe. My curls are more defined, it doesn't weigh it down, they are soft and bouncy. If I use too much it feels crunchy so I just dampen my hair and it's all better. I never thought of using a Tshirt instead of a towel that's a great idea.

[@CurlySusie]

Thanks for the comment!! I’m going to try the Aloe Vera Gel!!

[@rachelc.5463]

Love the sound of your voice.

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Rachel! Thanks so so much. Everyone from CapeBreton talks like this & I didn’t know it wasn’t interested until I started KZbin.

[@fridaydobson4933]

I started the curlt girl method in july this year. My hair used to be dead straight with a slight wave after i washed it and i would curl it everyday with a straightener. I chucked my straightener, silicone conditioner and sulphate shampoo in the bin and bought natutal conditioner and shampoo. Since doing the curly girl method my hair curls beautifully especially with the help from gel and curl mousse. I'm still way off from having effortless curly hair due to the constant damaging and colouring that i have done in the past, but im so happy to be natural again. My hair also seems to grow quicker since i dont damage it anymore which is a wonderful bonus.

[@Ayaforshort]

I have coily curly hair and cutting silicones made a huge difference in the health of my hair. That plastic coating was keeping moisture from getting into my follicles. I already used silicone free shampoo and conditioner by lucky chance but I found out that my deep conditioner masks all had silicones! So basically none of my leave in conditioner or styling products were able to penetrate and moisturize my strands. After switching to silicone free deep conditioner my hair is way more moisturized. I do however use a styling mousse containing water soluble silicone as a final step because my hair is color treated. It doesn't require shampoo or clarifying to remove. You can Google a list of soluble and non soluble silicone types, but even still just know that you are suffocating your strands until you wash it out.

[@tammyaswell4562]

You have inspired me. I have tried everything and was just about to give up. Thanks for sharing.

No problem Tammy!! The cheapie products always work better for me.

[@kateypie35]

I'm brand new to this and so overwhelmed! SO many products out there!! I am determined though - because exactly like you, I used to flat iron EVERY day and my hair is so bushy and damaged. I quit the flat iron about 2 months ago, but now trying to figure out how to get my hair at it's healthiest and quit the hair dryer too. Aaak!

[@TheBubblypumpkin]

i have finally started and i started because of your videos. thank for making the transition so simple. 😊

[@sarahjohnson9267]

I've done the curly girl method to some degree for years. I stopped using a blow dryer about 20 years ago. The weird part was I stopped using sulfates because I recognized what it was doing to my hair. For a YEAR I did that and the texture got worse and worse, really only noticeable when wet. Yup, at some point I went on the internet and realized I probably had a horrible build up of silicone. I had gotten used to my hair being flatter and loose wave and when I clarified my hair it returned full force! Right now I need to stop wearing it in ponytails instead of conditioning it etc. on day 2. Often if I just spray with conditioner spray and maybe put more water, let it hand loose and it will curl smoothly and naturally. I am growing out my grey hair also. Thank you for your tips.

[@arianadourre]

I'd love to know more about how you stopped using shampoo. Does she have another video on it? Thank you for making this video. :) it's simple and not burdned with products.

[@mylseif]

I'm so happy I found this video. I used to be a really curly little girl, then they cut my hair and I lost my curls; leaving a weird frizzy mess... When I was a teenager with all the "taylor swift" curls I tried to get them back, and I did! but I don't remember how I did it, Then I decided to cut my hair in a short bob and I lost my curls again... And now my hair is long, waaay too long, and I notice it wanting to curl A LOT, but I didn't know how to help it ( I almost never straighten it, I just put it on a bun or a ponytail) and now I'll try the things you said and hope for the best!! I'm subscribed now :D

[@welivetoshine]

Thank god I stumbled across this video, this helps soooo much! I've tried everything to get my curls to look decent. I am going to adopt this routine and see if it helps. :)

[@taylorarmes7849]

Can anyone help me? I had ringlets as a babe, but as i grew older my parents had me brush and wash my hair every day so now my "natural hair" is wavy and frizzy with sparse curls. I'd like to try the curly girl method but my hair is so oily if i dont wash it daily.. Any tips?

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Taylor, I really suggest just trying to wash your hair with a Curly Girl Approved conditioner every second wash. You will be surprised at how well it removes oil. Get yourself a lightweight conditioner like Suave Naturals or Tresemme Naturals & a good sulphate & silicone free shampoo. You’ll also need a silicone & alcohol free gel. I bet your hair is way curlier than you think

[@Alisha21210]

I'd like to add that I stopped washing my hair daily and it became very greasy BUT then my hair got use to it and now I can go a couple days where I couldn't go 1 day. And me using something as strong as a dandruff shampoo can cause the scalp to over compensate with oil...So no matter what you'll end up greasy until your hair gets use to less washing and if it's getting stripped every day. And just in one time of only combing my hair in the shower and leaving it alone while dry.. my curls appeared a LOT .. where I was almost straight/wavy and frizzy. Try to only brush when wet. otherwise you'll break the curl pattern and end up with what you have now. ^^

[@sdianarios1822]

[@monikasethi9562]

I do all of this. Changed my shampoo three months back. Unfortunately still looking for a good conditioner. Having chronic dandruf makes it very difficult to find products that won't irritate the scalp. However I have noticed that just swapping the towel to a t-shirt makes a hell of a difference.

[@Alisha21210]

Monika Sethi let me know if you find something that helps with your dandruff! I'm just starting and haven't left my head and shoulders behind yet. :\ my scalp gets greasy and itchy when I don't use it.

[@katherinepicione7483]

My daughter has thin curly strands but a ton of them and dandruff. When she was little we used Dove products on her hair but we had to switch to Head & Shoulders. Then as she has hit teenage years her oil production has increased (as has her dandruff) and her dermatologist said we had to keep up with the H & S. Our hair stylist didn't have a good recommendation for curly dandruff suffering either. Curls tend to go with dryness - not oily.

[@DeesseCoco]

Love, a fellow Canadian

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Lacey!! I know all about the KZbin rabbit hole lol Thanks for watching.

[@laceyenglish6702]

Thank you so much for replying!!

[@CurlySusie]

Hi Lacey!! The only way to know for sure is trial & error. It the Silicones are truly water soluble you should be ok. When I FIRST started I had a Biolage conditioner that had some of the “peg” silicones in it & I used it until the bottle was empty. My hair was in rough shape back then so hard to say if it made a difference but I have to say that I didn’t really have a problem with build up... that wasn’t a great answer but hope it helped. Just try it??!!

[@martimar7181]

Your hair is beautiful! I never imagined using gel on my hair. Frizz on the top layer is my problem, so I’ll definitely try it.

[@CurlySusie]

Hi Marie!!! Gel is my “must have” product for the last year. Sometimes you have to excitement with amounts... if your hair dries hard... it’s an easy fix, just scrunch out the crunch. There are lots of videos on this. Gel should be alcohol free. This one is great but I LOVE Biotera Alcohol Free styling Gel from Sally. It’s amazing.

[@genni322]

I love how simple your routine is. What conditioners do you recommend for cowashing the scalp and hair? I have a similar curl type (2C/3A) and am worried about an oily scalp if I start this method. Another question! I work out as well and find that if I don’t wash my hair afterwards (currently using shampoo), my scalp feels itchy from the salt/sweat. Do you find that conditioner washing helps to cleanse the sweat and prevent itchiness in the scalp?

[@CurlySusie]

Yes, I work out often & I also run so I sweat a lot! Conditioner washing is the way to go. I have to use a light conditioner or my hair gets weighed down. I like Down Under Naturals NUDE, Garnier Naturals & V05 Naturals (all inexpensive) you will be so surprised ... conditioner washing won't make your roots greasy (I was skeptical)

[@genni322]

Thanks for the tips! I have a suspicion that my scalp may be itchy from using sulfates in the winter. I only wash my hair 1-2x a week at the moment and the itchiness gets worse the longer I prolong my wash days. I'm considering this method cause I don't want to have to shampoo my hair every single time I work out. I'm hoping this works out

[@CurlySusie]

I hope it works out as well for you as it has been for me!!

I made some mistakes with coloring but have already been taking good care of my hair since I want to grow it out. I have an appointment tomorrow to get the last of the dye cut out. So I get a fresh start! I use shae moisture moisture retention shampoo and conditioner on my hair and typically just oil my hair with argon oil or coconut oil and I never use heat. Hopefully there won't be a transition period. I will say that I dried it with a t-shirt today and it was still super wet but it already looks better!

[@gabriellalorenzi9137]

Personally I’ve had tight coil curls (3b/c) since I was a baby and I never straightened my hair until my dad did if for me when I was in 4th grade. For most of my child hood it was in braids and pony tails and it looked good but it definitely good have looked better. My dad did it for me every morning and had to learn from a Dominican woman what styling products to use. When I started to style it myself in middle school I wore it in buns and high ponytails with leave in conditioner and mouse cause i didn’t really know what to do with it and it was poofy. Until I was in 8th grade I never embraced it and now I’m starting my second year of high school exclusively showing off my curls. The fact that I was too lazy to straighten my hair because it was so long (down to my butt) made it easy to love my hair. Now I’m looking for better inexpensive products than Cantu and Shea Moisture, I’ll definitely have to try out some of your recommendations!!

Is it easier for a newbie of the CGM to stick with one brand of products to avoid being overwhelmed?

[@milk2160]

I know you probably won’t see this, but I’m trying to somewhat start the curly girl method since my hair used to be in ringlets similar to yours but slightly curlier when I was a small child, but over washing my hair often throughout my whole life with a harsh shampoo and conditioner and brushing my hair almost every couple hours vigorously to reduce tangles and frizz, my hair has been reduced to a really frizzy 2a/2b wave. There’s a few ringlets under my normal hair that have a 3a curl. Whenever I try using any kind of hair gel, it’s reduces volume in my hair by a ton and makes it look oily and wet and gives it a hard rough texture, so it doesn’t really work for me. My mom doesn’t really want me to invest that much time into caring for my hair, and I currently have bottles of my previous shampoo and conditioner I haven’t finished yet, so she doesn’t really want me to buy new products because she thinks it’s a waste of the previous ones, so I can’t get any new products yet. Leave in conditioners give me greasy hair if I use too much and if I don’t use a lot it has no effect on my hair. And currently, my hair has random wavy, straight or curly pieces and the first 4 inches of my hair starting from my roots are extremely flat and if I try scrunching them they get a weird shape. My frizz is absolutely impossible to contain even if I brush my hair, and even though I’ve started using a microfiber towel. Uhh I know it’s a lot but do you have any advice for me?

loooove ur hair

Thank you Lauren :)

Watching you for the first time. And about 3/4 through your video I was like man......she sounds like a newfie! Low and behold I am reading comments and bam....a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 I am in Vancouver 😊

[@drinamarie928]

would you be able to just wrap your head in a t-shirt and sleep with that? or use a silk alternative like nylon, polyester or rayon? thanks!

[@CurlySusie]

Hi Drina!! I’ve slept with the Tshirt on. They call it over night plopping lol My hair is still damp in the morning so I’d scrunch some water & Gel into it and diffuse for literally 5 min and you are done :)

[@sarahthompson6045]

Thanks for the advise! I am learning about the curly girl method today and I am a night shower-er. Time to ginger a big t-shirt from goodwill! Is there a certain candidate is better than others?

[@cestmoilulur8421]

About to start my journey...you’re inspiring! Thanks x

[@kellymichelle1255]

I haven't read this Curly Girl book..... so it might already have this tip..... but as a fellow curly girl I just wanted yo give a good tip that might seem simple and obvious, but it easy to forget. Don't buy coats with zips. Go for buttons instead as curly hair gets a brushing when coming into contact with a zip on a coat and it's really annoying to have your lovely curly style ruined at the front by a coat zip x

[@andreatakacs-carvalho3923]

Very very helpful! Thank you!

[@maureeng4256]

Do you have a favorite conditioner? the CG rabbit hole is intense with products and nuanced tips, often contradictory. I appreciate this simple approach. I used the clarifying treatment yesterday so am only a baby beginner - day 1. Based on this video I should use a sulfate/silicone free conditioner from here on out and was hoping for a recommendation from you. I don't quite understand all the types of conditioners and washing/cowashing stuff. SOS :)

[@seanhill4321]

i love your videos and your content! but mostly, i love your accent!!! i went to Acadia and MISSSSSS this east coast SO MUCH!!! Much love to you and I hope some of these techniques start working for me!!!

[@seanhill4321]

oops under my husbands account... lol xoxo Kat

[@kopec82]

basic practical video very useful thank you! Other videos made me head spin

[@agirlisariot]

can you use a microfiber hair towel/turbine twist in place of a tee shirt? my hair is like a sponge and drips everywhere but I still want to eliminate frizz. thanks for the easy tips! 💕

[@CurlySusie]

Yes!! Microfibre towel or turban 100%

[@agirlisariot]

Curly Susie awesome, thank you!

[@yokolucila2851]

You are so funny and spontaneous, you explain everything very well and you seem to be a wonderful woman and mother! Your channel is awesome! Although I am Brazilian and my English is not so good, I am very happy to have found your channel

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Yoko! Your English sounds perfectly fine to me ❤️ thank you so much for saying Hi all the way from Brazil.

[@yokolucila2851]

Curly Susie ♥♥♥

[@Rocketblaster2008]

I knew you were a caper like me as soon as I heard your voice. Not a strong accent but enough to hear the “home” in your voice. Just starting this process now, thanks for the tutorial.

[@CurlySusie]

Thanks for watching Beth!! What part of the island are you from??

[@Rocketblaster2008]

I am in Sydney as well. So nice to be watching a local doing this. 😊

[@CurlySusie]

Me & Frankie haha

[@heatherlynn4652]

Im like 98% sure that the cgm is bs. I tried it my hair looked like crap the entire time. So I bought biolage hydrasource shampoo and conditioner, with sulfates in the shampoo, and bed head foxy curls. My hair looks fantastic. Sulfates aren't bad and silcones don't seal out moisture. My hair needs science. I think the most important thing for curly hair is no heat and no chemical processes.

[@rebeccagurvich3296]

Hi, thanks for this video! Do you have any where you actually demonstrate the step by step techniques? That is what makes videos different from articles and what would be most helpful in the future.

[@newportdragon19mufc]

The first easy step by step and to the point video! Thank you for taking the time to share! My hair is terrible, growing up my hair would be brushed out into a frizz and tied up in a ponytail then a plait, now it's frizzy curly but still meh. I want to see if the curly girl method will work on my hair! I used to usually straighten my hair once a week - nowadays I'm just too lazy because it's never perfectly straight anyway. I do have one question though, eventually if my hair is as lovely looking as yours, would it be ok to straighten it now and then? Say once a month? (if that) Thank you again!

[@LydiaMoodyinFlorida]

Thanks for posting this. I've been going through this transition over the past year. I've been trying different products and see what looks best. I have a collection going. Lol ❤️. I will try finger combing in the shower next time. I use a wide tooth comb, and I do comb the tangles out but my hair seems stringy when I do that.

[@JenninKanata]

New to your channel puppysbreath -Rosie sent me here she is a avid follower of my channel and suggested it to me as I got a diva cut a few months ago

[@lilianshort4766]

wow! I LOVE your hair!!!

[@CurlySusie]

Thank you so much Lily!!

[@SarahOct1980]

I haven't found not one product that gets rid of my frizz😭

[@seemycurls]

Sarah Grigsby Hi Sarah, you might want to try AfroShe all natural, handmade and chemical-free hair care product "AfroShe Curl Styler ". You can also check out some KZbin videos showing how the products works on frizzy curly hair. Hope this is helpful.

[@Jesusfreak3378]

cantu is a great product line...

[@allyh85]

Lots of leave conditioner after showering while hair is still soaking wet then apply gel and let dry to form cast. Do not touch until dry. Sometimes I diffuse dry because it takes my hair half the day to dry. this is what’s worked for me to cut the frizz. I use Sally’s gvp conditioning balm for leave in. But I’ve also used tresseme undone. Any conditioner that is silicone free.

[@susanreault8575]

AfroShe curl styler

[@christinahall9931]

Me either

[@suzannemayo8369]

Your hair looks great. When I do only conditioner and gel, it looks good at first-but I think my hair gets used to it after a few days and it starts to go limp and lifeless. My hair is very fine so I don't know if that has something to do with it. Also the curl pattern for the back of my head is defined ringlets, but the top layer of my hair is much loose and almost straight on top. What can I do to make more uniform curls all around?

[@anilakhan936]

If you hair becomes lifeless and limp, that could mean too much hydration. You hair might need protein. Try switching the products between hydration and protein and see the results.
