DO'S & DON'TS OF CURLY & WAVY HAIR

[@GoldieSC]

"Don't compare your curls" As I silently watch and pray for the day that my waves are as fabulous as India's. 😂

[@tammydowell3723]

ok

[@freddiemercury4880]

ok

[@OpalMoonstone247]

😂 yes!

[@emilyhill2462]

So I started embracing my hair texture 2 years ago when I went to get my hair cut and my stylist said I have curly hair (not straight like I always thought) crazy, I know. I’ve learned sooo much between now and then. Anyway here we go y’all, I have A LOT of tips. 1. Learn your curl pattern AND your hair porosity. I have similar curl pattern to India’s (btw you are my curl inspo) but have very low porosity. Porosity is how porous your hair is and how easily it takes in moisture. Low Po is susceptible to protein overload which is what I experienced when I did coconut oil masks. Too much protein can make your hair dry and brittle. On the other hand, too much moisture is a thing so be careful of that too. Bottom line: don’t only pay attention to your curl pattern because your porosity level also is a huge factor in what products you should use. 2. What works for most people may not work for you, just accept it. Personally, I cannot plop for the life of me. My waves become curly at the ends but the whole crown of my head is straightened and funky afterwards. Try new things, but don’t force something if it just isn’t working. If you guys have any tips about plopping and what I may be doing wrong please reply because I miss plopping. 3. HAIR MASKS. Like India said, they’re a game changer. Everyone compliments me on my hair after I do them. Also idk if you guys do this but I used to wash my mask out with shampoo after (I’m real dumb I guess). Anyway please don’t do that, just rinse it out like a normal person. 4. Scrunch in your products while your still in the shower. I usually scrunch everything in while my hair is pretty wet and I have my head flipped upside down. Then I scrunch with a t shirt and microfiber towel with my head still flipped over. Then I let is air dry normally, occasionally flipping my head from side to side to encourage volume. 5. Use the LOC method for high porosity hair and the LCO method for low porosity. This has always stuck in my head but there’s a saying that I have found to be true, “oil before cream for frizz extreme. Cream before oil for fantastic coils” 6. Guys don’t use silicones, just don’t. 7. Satin pillow case, scrunchies, protective styles. PROTECT YOUR HAIR YALL. Sorry for the long list, but these are the biggest lessons I’ve learned since going curly. Hope it helps.

[@vanillabean7832]

Emily Hill My hair is wavy but this is still very helpful. Thanks!

[@TheNikkiSpace]

Thank you so much! I’ll check out the LOC method, which I’ve heard again and again but was too lazy to look up. Comments like yours are incredibly helpful!

[@trinityllewellyn3040]

i love you

[@EllenOzHealth]

India, you have COMPLETELY changed my hair!! In 3 months of following your channel and your advice, I went from a 2b to 2c/3a! My hair has never looked or felt better or been healthier! I used to have super greasy roots and had to use dry shampoo but now my hair doesn’t even get greasy! You are a life saver! Love your content! Keep it up! 😘

[@indiabatson26]

THIS IS THE BEST FEEDBACK I COULD ASK FOR !!!! so much love to you (: XOXO

[@katiefarrelly6800]

Me too !! My hair dresser even was shocked when I came in !

[@ashleyoday5791]

How did you get rid of your oily roots?

[@OpalMoonstone247]

​@@ashleyoday5791invest in a scalp massaging brush to shampoo. Game changer. Keep your brushes clean as well. Product buildup will add to greasy roots. Also, don't dry brush at all close to the scalp. Best to only wet brush during conditioning or while applying your gels/creams/mousses. I rarely have to grab dry shampoo anymore. But you really want to upgrade to a better shampoo in the first place. You can still find professional grade at the drugstore. And basically, follow the tips that India gave here.💙👌🏻

[@devyn7602]

Who here went through the stage of having their mom say they need to brush their curls before going out? Needless to say, I had the triangle poof as a child😅🔼🔼

[@Makeupnhair4u]

Devyn Keen completely me!

[@mortuary_fairy]

I relate to this sooo much! 😂

[@docmel74]

OMG!!! I had a big frizzy bob when I was 12... Like Bad because my mom would brush out my curls... I can so relate!!!

[@samsamofficail]

Devyn Keen me me me

[@caitlynhagen451]

Same!!!

[@avynward]

do you have any tips for people who have curly hair but straight roots? I can't get any volume in my roots at all.

[@indiabatson26]

Avyn Ward do you have any layers in your hair? Do u think maybe your hair is too heavy?

[@avynward]

Yeah I have layers, and I don't really think so. My hair is shoulder length and is like medium thickness, so I don't think that's the issue

[@RANDOM-ou6ez]

Avyn Ward I have the same problem!

[@amandakrauter6489]

Same! I've never had any curl at my roots.

[@melanienichols6362]

I struggle with this at times. What works best for me is gently scrunching my roots with a microfiber towel before I air dry, that way they form some curls. Also, a suggestion from India that's been a personal game changer - flip your hair from side to side about every 15ish minutes while it's drying!!

[@qwertmnbvc9757]

“Don’t wear slicked back hairstyles” As me, a dancer, watches this and cries

[@bt5123]

I am so glad I found your channel, for years I straightened my hair, tied it up and just generally tried to hide my curly hair. Finding your channel has made me love my curls again, I even go out with my hair down now. Thank you for inadvertently teaching me that it’s ok to be a curly girl and giving me the confidence to rock what I naturally have xx

[@mariar3715]

Yay for mom wearing her hair curly!!!! She looks awesome with her natural hair ( even younger i think! )

[@indiabatson26]

Yes!! I completely agree (: I'll share this with her XOXO

[@cailync9354]

I love what you said at the end about not comparing yourself to others. We’re all beautiful and unique :) Thanks for helping me rock my waves!!

[@brittaneywalker5106]

I’m so glad that your mom is rocking her curls! It’d be awesome of you to update us on her process! 😊

[@kathleenbatson6169]

Brittaney Walker so sweet

[@vidyavelumile7293]

Your last tip is everything!

[@annamaida4228]

I'd love a collab video with curly penny!!!

[@isabellarubino6879]

We love a wavy hair shishter!

[@indiabatson26]

Isabella Rubino YASSSSS SHISHTER

[@jazminee3601]

Lolllll

[@ChrisP-to3ko]

Yes! Loving your own curls and waves and not comparing it to others is so spot on! Wish I realised this at the beginning of my curly journey. And just saying, frizz is a fine curly girls secret to volume😆 update on mums hair please!

[@brandym7891]

I really love the tip about wearing you’re hair up a lot. I go to the gym 5 days a week so I wear my hair up a lot and leave it like that for the day and now I realize that’s probably why my roots are straightening out. From now on I’m going to make sure to let it down afterwards. Thanks India!

[@peacefulsoul8612]

Yess please update us about your moms curls!! She looks gorgeous

[@geographyofgeorge8292]

your advice about not comparing curls to others has helped me so much!! I think it's so important. Love your videos x

[@ilovepink213194]

My hair is always flat and basically straight in the back of my head and big and poofy every where else any tips to get the back curlier?

[@juliaterpstra8767]

Sameeeee!

[@j.a.4185]

U should try plopping with a t-shirt

[@liyadesta1402]

awkwardmariah don’t brush it dry

[@slapperorange]

Honestly regarding the 'Don't compare your curls', the main reason why I subscribed to you is because your hair looks more like mine, so I can take you as an example whom I can work towards within my own curl journey. So thank you for being different from the rest! :)

[@Ezzii4]

Glad i watched this instead of revising 😊 the last tip definetly important, i always end up comparing my hair type to much more tighter curls 😯

[@aditimukhopadhyay5047]

I don't use conditioner on wash days. Instead I use deep conditioner after washing follow up with leave in and gels. Believe me it is the best thing that helped me during my transitioning phase. It keeps my curls frizz free even during the humid summers of India ...

[@livismith5007]

Aditi Mukhopadhyay right, personally I feel deep conditioning weekly is important, and using a conditioner before deep conditioning is pretty much useless, an unnecessary step and money wasted

[@Laurel_Kay]

I am completely inspired to embrace my natural hair!! I can't wait to follow your routine to a T!

[@rhiannonloveskittens]

your eye shadow is amazing!!!! makes your eyes look super blue! what is it???

[@indiabatson26]

It's from stila!!! It's their shimmer& glow liquid eyeshadow!!! They sent it to me last week and I'm OBSESSED

[@cocoshawnelle2451]

She is so beautiful! And I just love her personality

[@courtneywilliams2751]

Girl! I've seen shampoos with silicones but no sulfates. Like what?

[@indiabatson26]

lol LIKE WHATTTT ?!!? hahah

[@mortikarobinette5381]

The Everpure sulfate free shampoos have silicone. I was furious because I missed it for about a month.

[@chelseahopkins2701]

I would love a video of more hair styles for curly hair that keep it out of your face and off your shoulders but still protecting your curls!

[@heatherreisinger13]

I've found Curlsbot to be Extremely helpful when picking out products to try! Also Sulfate free just means that Sodium Lauryl sulfate is not in it. Sulfate free means that the most common harsh sulfates are not in them. Also anything ending in -cone or xane is a silicone.

[@bananacreampie28]

Giiiirrrrl. I’ve never deep conditioned for a long period of time before, and I was getting kind of desperate. I tried it last night with a warm T-shirt for an hour (too long?😬😂) and let me tell you my hair is looking SILKY today. My curls are thanking you. They literally have never looked so soft, defined, and shiny.

[@Melindaarobins]

Thanks for your videos. I just moved to the South and the humidity was bringing out all the friz! I used to straighten my hair and have tried to let it go natural before but it always looked huge and poofy. Since doing the curly girl method you recommend, my curls look amazing! Like hair I wish I had my whole life! Thanks so much!

[@mariaherrera13]

Hi, 😍 Love the videos and tips, but I have a problem I am highly allergic to tree nuts which include coconut (oil). I feel like all brands for curly hair have it, do you have any recommendations that do not? Bargain or Expensive.

[@Raven-Winter]

Love your video ! The last point is so true, I have 2c hair too but they're not the same as you. I love the fact that every single curly hair is different, nobody has the same hair and this is amazing. Your hair is very beautiful, and I will definitely try some of your tips on your others videos ^^ (your eye colour is incredible also btw)

[@PatriotToby]

I couldn’t stop staring at your eyes in this video! ☺️ Great video! Thanks!

[@indiabatson26]

Somerainmustfall oh my goodness, you are the sweetest!!!!

[@jardecardoso6795]

I hate when someone walks in on me watching your videos because they all look at me weird that I am smiling lol your smile is contagious! haha

[@leandrasings9354]

I had a very tight curl pattern when I was like 1 to 4 then my mom started to do really slicked back pony tails everyday and she always told me to brush it out especially when it was dry. Just recently I've been testing youtubers routines to find my hair type.

[@CelinaYTChannel]

I've been a gymnast as long as I can remember and recently a cheerleader, we ALWAYS have to have our hair in a tight pony. The ponytail "dont" made me sense but also really mad at myself haha

[@pamelajdiaries0723]

You have helped me so much India! I'm still on my journey but you always encourage me. And I am so stoked about your Mom please have her on again I want to see her hair! Can you guess I'm a Mom type aged person? Yes we have wavy curly hair too! I am going to try to not touch my hair when wet that will be a challenge!

[@multivampireaddict]

That point about tight hairstyles is the bane of my existence

[@indiabatson26]

lol sameeee

[@xxEmmeline.Laurier]

I always thoroughly wash my scalp and the rest of my hair because I always want to properly remove any build up, dirt or oils that may have built up over the week. I also once heard this natural hair youtuber say, “It’s like when washing your body, you wash all of it, and you don’t rely on water running down from the tap to distribute the soap to the bottom part of your body.”

[@hollybever2026]

I have hair really similar to yours, but I'm a nurse and work 3, 12 hour shifts, a week. Do you have a video or can you make a video showing us how to do some easy up dos that will hold for long periods and keep those curls safe?

[@alinajune8652]

The green colour looks great on her .... I mean everything looks great on her. 😍

[@judymendes6891]

India, my granddaughter needs you in her life. Thank you for these videos. I've never put gel on her hair. We are trying it tonight...we want to have you teach us in person. Is this possible???

1 month since began my transition, embracing my curly hair, thanks to you! People start to ask me what did I do? What products I use? Your curls are more defined! Just one month! I wanna see my hair in one year 💕. Than you!! A question: what do you think about use the Aztec secret mask into your hair as a deep conditioner?

[@stacey-andrews]

That necklace is so cute. I want it. 😍😊

[@nataliemartinez8212]

Love ur waves/curls I have a mix of 2a mostly 2b and 2c in my hair it crazy

[@idontusethisever]

What about major tangles? I have naturally curly wavy hair like yours and just found your channel - thank god! I think my hair has major potential. I have literally never used a curl product on it - I can't wait to see what it looks like once I do. I was going to purchase the NYM products you just mentioned in another video along with the wavemaker from DevaCurl. Are these the few products you would recommend to start out with? I bleached my a few months back so I have been using a lot of detanglers and moisturizers right after I get out of the shower. I use a regular towel to dry it - now going to switch to Aquis towels, but use and brush my hair with detanglers right away. I have quite a bit of breakage from the damage of the bleach but I am trying my best to be as gentle as possible at the moment - still losing quite a bit of hair. I have been brushing my hair before my shower so it is not nearly as bad after I get out of the shower. Would you recommend just not brushing it at all after the shower? I am new to this so any advice would be super helpful! Thank you :)

[@joanahenderson9747]

Hey! I have virgin very black curly hair, I noticed in my pics it just looks like a mass of black, what are your thoughts or tips for coloring?

On the trail of deep conditioning, ever try the Hot Headz cap?

[@BlueIvy70Angel]

What is the best way to get my curls to come back? I have spent most of the last year or two with my curly hair pulled back in a tight bun or ponytail/braid. I would really like to get my hair back to the gorgeous spiral curls. 🌹👄👄

Thank you so much for this , I’ve watch 2 videos so far and I’ve learned more in them than I have from any salon I’ve ever been too! Curl on!

[@DynamicAerial]

Can you do a video on Hair Oils :) Moisturizing vs sealing and which oils are for your scalp only and ones for your ends. which oils are best for which porosities! This would be super helpful!

[@remoorekable]

Soft baby towels! Not the terrycloth kind, but the soft, knit kind. It is soft enough that you can gently squeeze the water out of your hair and it really soaks the water in. They’re small, so they’re not heavy, yet, just big enough to wrap all of your hair in. Try it and see if it works for you. If you’re a mom like me, you probably already have a baby towel.

[@biancacolon3593]

We thank god for your chanel im mid transition from damaged to curly!!!

[@nataliemartinez8212]

I have started the curly girl method and this is my first day and I already see a difference I used to think my hair was straight bc j brushed it out when it was dry and one day I didn't brush it out dry and discovered my hair is wavy . My waves are normally 2a/2b and there are now definitely 2b and there like 2b/2c so hope this makes a difference in the long run

[@danaj7021]

Great video. Especially the last tip. You have inspired me to love my curls 😘

[@AsjJohnson127]

I'd been wondering if I should go back to my natural curls instead of brushing it straight while wet like I've been doing for years. ...But every time I think of letting it dry without brushing it, it starts frizzing and straightening even without the brush. So I go ahead and brush it.

[@maddyshevchuk8954]

This video was so awesome India! Thanks for making it!

[@michaelacruickshank9182]

Ive just now discovered the cg method and I'm 21. I have similiar hair texture to you, I used to wash my hair so much just to get it to stop being frizzy without realizing my hair was just dying for moisture. And then I would constantly brush my hair dry and it would get frizzy again! Thank god for the internet am I right?

[@bunluvv]

You have been sooo helpful in taking care of my hair better! Thank you for this amazing vid! 😊

[@Rachel-ll2dm]

Can u please review the three different gels of devacurl and compare them to each other please. (Light defining,ultra defining, and arc angel)

[@livismith5007]

Rachel yass she needs to! I wanted to like the ultra defining gel so much but I didn't. I need a different consistency. So I need to know if it's worth buying a different gel from them

[@Rachel-ll2dm]

Livi Smith ya rn I just got a coupon in the mail for 50% off the arc angel gel! Im worried though if it will be right for my hair type n I have similar hair to her so I wanna see the results before I buy it and it ends up weighing my hair down or something.

[@livismith5007]

Rachel welp if you happen to buy it and don't like it, lemme know and I'll buy it from you, lol. 😂Jk.... ok I'm serious😂. My hair is thick and type 3 range.

[@lyzettevega1234]

Your hair is perfect... I have issues with my hair & when you said not to condition it on the roots I was like: oh my, what about my dandruff?! Any advice for me?

[@lilMissAdoria]

I get dandruff too, and I just use a pyrithion zinc shampoo with some tea tree oil mixed in, then my regular conditioner richly on the ends and then very lightly on to the roots, and rinse the roots right away. So I'd put it in the ends, and do something else for a couple mins, then run my fingers through the ends and then through the scalp area. Then rinse asap. Dandruff isn't dry skin, it's a buildup of yeast-dead skin type thing. So conditioner doesn't really help it at all, and could be making it worse because it weighs down those particles so they can't slough off like they should. Give it a try for a couple of weeks, if it doesn't make things better then go back to using it as you normally would. I find if I condition my whole head evenly that I look greasy end of day 1, instead of end of day 2. So that's why I switched, but as a kid and young teen I did the whole head condish so I know the fear lol. You may have an adjustment period but in the end I think you'll be happy with it.

[@strawberrys4life355]

Thanks for the tip not to tie my hair back so tightly i always used to do that now that i don't my hair has gotten a little better but that's just because it takes time to fix this mess i call my hair. Again thank you so much for this!

[@faithnicole9925]

This is the first ever video I saw of yours and I'm officially a follower! you're so super sweet and spunky :)

Hi India, thanks for all your tips! I was wondering, do you condition more frequently than you shampoo or only condition on wash days? Thanks!

[@christinag4968]

We have such similar hair! I’m so happy I found someone like me :)

[@vennela1656]

JOY-IN THE CHALLENGE! yesss! love u india, but how are u supposed to wear your hair for sports/gym?

[@alyssak2521]

I started the curly girl method a few months ago and my hair was a nightmare. While I did get more definition, my hair was extremely dry and I got split ends like crazy. My hair was never like this prior to the cg method. I had gorgeous long healthy wavy hair, and now my hair is full of breakage. I got a large trim to remove the breakage and switched back to using sulphates and silicones and my hair is already much more under control and moisturized. I have no idea why my hair is like this. I have 2a/2b hair for reference

[@elusnuga]

Alyssa Dolan I’m pretty sure that was the natural state of your hair, but you were using products with silicones which coat your strands and make even the most frizzy & damaged hair look good, so when you stopped using silicones you were able to see your natural hair. I have seen many people online who were shocked just how unhealthy their hair really was when they stopped using silicones. Aside from that, I agree that CG method doesn’t work for everyone. Not using a SLS shampoo made my scalp flaky, itchy and I started getting pimples on my scalp!

[@ninadammerstern3966]

Your hair isn't better now, it just looks better. CGM needs patience, your hair needs to get used to it. Did you do a final wash?

[@kimberlylombardi6696]

[@carlacarrasco7142]

I have this problem, I am a ballet dancer, so your 6th tip is impossible for me, I try to keep the ends curly as I do the bun, but I can tell my roots are stretching out, what do you suggest?😊

[@user-qt2ho9vx5x]

Hey, India I’ve subscribed to ur channel and watched a lot of ur videos they’re sooo helpful, and I was just wondering if we should brush the curly/wavy hair while it’s wet?? Btw my hair type is almost like ur hair type, and thank u sm🖤

[@nataliepaige8130]

hey girl!! If you have worn pony tails often in the past and your hair is stretched from it, will there ever be a way to get it back to normal? and how?

[@Leah-pr8xi]

Hey India! So my hair type is kinda curly wavy. I have mostly ringlets and some wavy pieces. Overall I would day it’s a little curlier than urs. But I have trouble sleeping with it. I have tried the pineapple method, but my hair is too thin and won’t stay in it. But when I do it tighter my hair gets straight. Plus my hair is a little loner so I’m kinda scared the ends will get messed up. So then I tried doing a loose bun. Again doesn’t stay. So then I do it tighter...and it gets straight. Any method I can do to sleep in my hair without it getting straight?!?! Thanks❤️

[@isispersonal4042]

India! I need your help! 😂 (anyone that sees this comment and also has a suggestion please feel free to comment, thanks!) I have 2b hair and I wear my hair natural pretty much everyday except for special events such as a graduation or honor roll, so I barely use heat on my hair. My hair is waist long so it's super long and I also take super good care of it so it is super healthy. The thing is I looove to put hair elixirs and serums on my hair every morning and night because I love how it makes my hair smell, feel and look. The thing is, the more I've researched I've found that a lot of those products contain silicone wich obviously isn't good for the hair since in the long run it will dry it out because of the barrier that it creates. I have been searching for an oily product that can replace the ones that I've been using which currently is a Garnier almond, avocado and coconut oil elixir, which tbh has worked fine with my hair but I would love to find one that I know will not damage my hair in the long run. If you have any recommendations I would looove to hear them. Thank you in advance! ❤

[@maggiemedina199]

You could always just make your own “elixir” with oils and make it smell nice with essential oils. Like you could def mix coconut, sweet almond, and avocado oil yourself. The downside is initially it’s definitely more expensive but in the long run it’ll last longer and make your hair healthier.

[@hannahannslee3471]

Hey girl!! How do i get more definition at my roots?!

[@giselleroenfeldt9265]

I purchased the Aveda Thickening Toner you and other curly girls recommended. I followed the steps for shampooing and conditioning, then applied the toner before other styling products. My hair is medium blonde with highlights, fine hair and not much of it, shoulder length with some layers, with a curl pattern that is naturally in "S"curves about 1 inch, curl pattern somewhat like yours in some of your videos. I have used the product two times. I must be doing something wrong. My hair looks weighed down. I tried it both ways: air drying and diffusing. I am so sad because I really need a product that will thicken my hair. Any ideas?
