I wish my hair could watch this and get inspired and become like yours lol your hair is incredible!

[@hanzcurls]

😂😂😂😂

[@missjaninemorgan]

I'm 41 and have only just discovered my curls now! It's been a fun midlife discovery and I'm really digging it :) Also, I love that you were a professional princess for a while!

[@holistichungryherbivore]

I would be so happy if you would make a video of different stages of your hair from the products you use, like when it’s over moisturized or weighed down, how it looks and identify it and then what to do about it. I can’t find a routine to stick to and need a little of your guidance ✨

[@hanzcurls]

Hey! I’m deffo planning to do a protein/moisture balance video!

[@dianelyon2077]

I really appreciate your honesty and all the advice that you give in your videos Hannah! 👏🥰I’m still learning the best way to boost my curls but I have a lot more confidence now, so, thankyou!

[@ecdewey1992]

Absolutely love your videos! We've had such a similar hair journey and I'd say very similar curls and I just love how down to earth and relatable you are :) it's like watching your friend next door post a video, just raw and real xxx

[@LinetteArroyo]

We basically had the same curly hair journey 😜 I’ve learned so much from your videos!

[@brittcurls]

Loved this! I was totally the same once I discovered protein/moisture balance - made allll the difference!

[@hanzcurls]

Thanks Britt! Yes, my hair looovess the protein 😍😂👌🏼

[@LucywithinCapture]

Yesss to growing out the fringe! Until this year I had a fringe for 5+ years / all through uni, and seeing my forehead really took some getting used to! Loved this Hannah, saw a lot of myself in this! :) xx

[@marieann3355]

😯 ahhh the answer I have been looking for! I'm over moisturising my hair, I couldn't figure out why it looks the way it does. Thank you for this video

[@ballybetagh]

I'm only two months in and not having many good hair days! Will stick with it though. Your journey has been hope-inspiring! Thanks

[@nataliejenner3318]

Your hair is lovely. Really enjoyed watching your journey. Similarly to you I was a late bloomer with my curls. As I got older, my curls continued to get tighter. This was a very informative video.

[@hanzcurls]

Thank you 🧡

[@sofiewerge4829]

Great video! love your hair color! im just starting my journey so this was very helpful😍

[@clembomcurls6512]

Thank you Hannah! love the pictures too!

[@Rufus1531]

I am at the beginning of my journey with trying to sort my hair out. I also have to so that I can now show my 5 year old daughter how to look after hers. My hair looked so like yours all the way through your video except I have never managed to find my way back to the curls. Hopefully I will be able to now. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@cndgroff]

you are gorgeous and your hair is amazing!

[@valentinacontratto7257]

Love your disclaimer 😂😂❤️

[@ADDIE.]

thank you for showing your transition, it really is amazing to see before and after. I still cant believe my hair is like this lol

[@jenniferrichards1548]

Such a good video! Thank you for sharing your journey 😁 it's crazy to think how many curly girls spend years straightening their hair, I can't believe I did it so often. So glad I found the curly community too, I've learnt everything I know from you and others 😘

[@hanzcurls]

🧡🧡🧡

[@AlexasCurls]

I love this so much. Your hair is gorgeous 😍😍😍

[@hanzcurls]

Thank you so much!! 🧡

[@MrsBrent]

Thank you! I really needed to hear this, I just started with the CGM a couple of weeks ago and already feel like I want to give up and go back to my beloved straightens.

[@hanzcurls]

Yayy! I hope I inspired you to embrace your curls for a little longer 🧡

[@ShirleyKay18]

This video was very inspirational! I have kept my hair short and straight for so long and while the transition stage hasn't been too rough since my curls are pretty resilient, it's at a very awkward below shoulder length. The curly community has really increased my confidence to wear my hair natural and your videos always give me so much inspiration for my curly red hair potential! :)

[@hanzcurls]

Ahh I’m so glad to hear this! Embrace those red locks 😍🧡

[@AJennings123]

Your hair is beautiful! I wondered if you could do a video about how you style and with what products you use when its humid/super sunny out! This past week i mustve washed it everyday in the 30 degrees🙈

[@gracegracegraceee]

Love your journey 🧡

[@hanzcurls]

🧡🧡🧡

[@Ohthatamber]

I loved this video and it’s very motivating! I’d love to hear an updated routine of yours, I’m finding it confusing about getting a good protein / moisture balance with my hair and hearing about other routines helps. Your hair is so gorgeous 💕

[@hanzcurls]

Thank you! The routine I follow now is similar to my main curly hair routine vid, but I’d say I basically do exactly what I do in my Bounce Curl routine vid, regardless of what products I’m using. There’s also lots more info about products I use, and protein/moisture on my Instagram. I’ll do KZbin vids on these in the future though ☺️

[@Ohthatamber]

hanzcurls I havent dove into curly girl Instagram as much as Ive watched videos but I imagine there’s even more info over there. I’ll go check yours out! Thank you ☺️

[@Hexenlicht666]

omg you have same experience like me. I had curly hair when i was a small child with 5 i have lost my curls and they have become wavy and than when i was 14 they have come back. at this point i have hated them and have started to straighten my hair all the time. until 1 year ago now than i have found the chm and have tryed to bring my natural hair back. im still transision because of the heat damage from so many years (15 years of heat damage) but i love my hair already more than before my natural hair is more myself and i feel so mutch better with it than with straight hair :)

[@Hawkster9133]

I'm so glad I found your channel! This was super helpful. I'm 30 now and I've used a hair straightener on and off (mostly on) since I was 13. I've had every hair length under the sun including waist-length and a pixie cut. It's currently about collar bone length and I've only been getting it cut every 4 months but it's always super damaged by my next hair cut even though I only straighten or blow dry it with a round brush every 2 days and I always use heat protection spray. After watching your videos, I've started just washing it and letting it air dry while doing a lot of scrunching/hair-tossing and I am amazed at how much curlier it is. I realized that my mistake was using a wide-toothed comb on it AFTER coming out of the shower and it would just dry pretty much a shapeless mass. I'm still trying to figure out which hair-styling products work best for me but even without a mousse right now, I actually have pretty good curl definition. I'd like to figure out how to effectively diffuse it for the winter months, but so far, it just ends up super frizzy.

[@VioletBones444]

I went from Shirley Temple curls to no curls at 6 to curl as soon as I hit puberty! 🤣

[@emkn1479]

Gorgeous curls. I’m still struggling with protein and moisture...my hair feels best with moisturizing products, “protein” stylers and cleansers make my hair feel rough and tangly. But at the same time I don’t think I’m getting the definition or structure that I could. What stylers or other products would you recommend for a balance of the two?

[@MunroMcLaren]

Right now, my hair is in the stage here: 7:37. I want to get to your curls where they’re shiny, they look soft, but fizzy, etc.

[@IKKclauKR]

"I know a lot of you did that as well" Girl, that was me up until april of last year 🤣🤣🤣 (I've seen a lot of people saying "you know how we straightened our bangs and had our hair wavy/curly, at the beginning of the 2010´s", but I was doing it up until I made the no heat for a year vow)

[@senaradalsalan3202]

Merci beaucoup

[@dawnfolker6410]

I like you as Princess Anna but to me you look like Merida. I love your hair and your videos.

[@hayley5097]

I've just started my curly journey, my hair is as long as yours but thick, what products would be best, as it's got some curls but also a lot of frizz. Thanks.

[@hannahc2091]

Would you say there were any products or techniques that helped with growth? Your hair is so lovely 💕 you look amazing

[@hanzcurls]

Hey! I talk about everything that helped with growth in my hair growth vid ☺️ Have a watch if you haven’t done already x

[@katerose8393]

I'd love to know whether there is a lot of curly hair in your family? I think I'm a 2b/c, but as far as I know there is no textured hair in my family so I'm wondering if that is even possible!

[@christinaobert5664]

People use to say I had a "five head" too. People also use to make fun of my button nose and now people contour theirs to have one. Kids can be cruel. But luckily I have grown to love my nose and "five head" lol

[@vianvian8651]

what hair color is that its lovely 😍

[@humi191]

I have a thick fringe and wear the rest curly I hate my forehead totally not growing it out lol

[@pnarmt3435]

Would you make a video about your haircut?

[@hanzcurls]

I will when I manage to get it done again! It’s well overdue a cut at the moment 😫

[@enviouswords]

my hair went back to curly at 40

[@katb3753]

Also! Can you suggest products that contain protein? Thank uu

[@hanzcurls]

Hey! Great idea - I will do a vid on this at some point, but for now, check out my Instagram page as I’ve got a fav products post that lists products that contain protein x

[@lausmae8905]

What products do you use now? My hair is exactly the same curl and porosity. Also do you dye it? I'm naturally a very light auburn like your before pictures and like to have it a rich auburn like yours now

[@hanzcurls]

Hey! You can find more info about the products I use on my Instagram page! I don’t dye my hair - I’ve never dyed it, but it has darkened as I’ve got older 🧡

[@AbigailFaith]

My hair is dyed and I use henna to avoid the chemical damage! I do it myself at home with Caca Rouge Henna Block from Lush and it changed my life! I was a dark blond before and It cost me only about $30 a year to maintain!

[@luckydizon3579]

What is the color of your hair? 😍😍🥺

[@xxxmelissatacionxxx]

Did you dye your hair ginger?? i thought it was your natural hair colour aha. Looks so natural!

[@hanzcurls]

XXXMELISSATACION It is my natural colour 😘 I’ve had it since I was a baby x

[@xxxmelissatacionxxx]

@@hanzcurls looks great

[@rdwmuzic]

How does your hair last all week!! My curls only look good for a few hours and then it’s just looks frizzy and dry. I’ve tried so many products I almost don’t want to wear my hair curly anymore.

[@hanzcurls]

Hey! It’s about getting to the root of the issue, so if it gets frizzy really quickly, that chance are you need to add moisture. Also, using a stronger hold gel may help! Have a watch of my frizz video if you haven’t already x

[@rdwmuzic]

hanzcurls thank you ill try that.

[@maisiegeorge1390]

Huge difference barely wavy to full blown curls wow
