How I Diffuse My Hair (2A, 2B, 2C)

[@nolenepaulse3845]

Finally someone with my hair type 😣😍keep seeing all these type 3 girls and I'm like whyyy can someone show me how to rock my type 2s

[@naimchen313]

omg sameeeee !

[@NandiniGupta1]

Me too the struggle 😂

[@luciapelayo7986]

there are a couple of other type 2 hair girls here on youtube, like Melanie Thompson, Tabitha Gingerich and others, but definetly we are sooo unrepresented :(

[@katerose8393]

Same! I can't deal with the spiral envy on those other channels!!

[@chasingthetwins7951]

💙 as boring as you think this might be, it is certainly helpful. Thank you for showing how you manage your cowlick.

[@edeodell8987]

My cowlick is right up in the front!! Standing on the fence, I've been told.

[@alyssabuffington6842]

When I am feeling lazy but want to diffuse upside down I will lay on my belly on my bed and then put my head off my bed and diffuse upside down that way lol

[@Itzzara4]

Thank-your for the tip Im definitely going to try this xxxx

[@leighanngalinsky5409]

You're definitely more fun than watching paint dry and BTW...watched the WHOLE thing...didn't skip forward once. You're the best!

[@phoenixmermaid5096]

💙 I'm also really glad that there is someone on KZbin with my type of hair, almost exactly! (Thin, wavy, medium-long, oily)

[@srkra_]

Same!

[@shepherd941]

Me too mine is medium-coarse, medium-long and mixed oily and dry. It’s medium thickness but it’s high density. (I have a lot of it) I’ve looked everywhere to find someone even close to my hair type and I think I found it!😄

[@mzhelb9598]

I believed I could not begin the “curly girl” journey for two reasons. First, I have three cowlicks, which I have to brush 😱, while blow drying into submission. If I do not, they look like bald spots. So, thank you for the “why didn’t I think of that,” moment with the hair clips. Secondly, I keep hearing, “no heat,” consistently. Therefore, I was pleased to hear you use a “medium heat” setting, while blow drying your hair in this video. That will help this 2a, fine haired girl with time, frizz, and volume. Now, if I can just fine tune this process (or my stubbornness) to manage my oily roots, which show up in less than 24 hours, along with necessary scalp/dandruff treatments...Even if I do not end up as a “curly girl,” I am very grateful for your time and honesty, collectively.

[@katelynl.1756]

💙 your curls look amazing wet (and dry!)! I’m still struggling with consistent clumping and battle wet frizz/stringy curls .. but keeping at it!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Katelyn David you got this! Time will heal all!

[@cn7079]

Update? This is where I'm at now, haha

[@sahmofangels]

I did my entire routine for the first time upside down today and I have a whole new appreciation for you filming so many washes upside down!!!! You have helped me so much in this journey and I so love my hair now, even on weird hair days LOL

[@taylorrae7988]

💙 starting my journey by watching all of your videos. We have the same hair type, so your hair is my hair goal! I have fried, dyed, and straightened my hair into oblivion. So cut of 6 inches and now going to embrace my curls! You are an inspiration.

[@brittanyjeants]

I'm on my computer so I can't leave a blue heart. Your hair looks so healthy, soft, and bouncy!

[@coyotemaha]

I loved it and it isn’t boring at all for curly hair girls💚 we need to learn as diffusing isn’t as easy as it may seem❤️

[@sonaley]

💙 it is nice and comforting to see that I am not alone in being a rebel for diffusing on high speed and medium heat. Once the hair is healthy or at least healthier and you keep up with deep conditioning and giving the hair what it needs, I don’t find it to be a problem or that affects my styling

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Sonaley Cerró Méndez TOTALLY 100% agree!!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@jessicacompton5371]

I dont know what I enjoy more, your commentary or the descriptions you write. 😂 “sorry you’re old, but at least your hair will look good” ahh I remember my 30’s. Anyway, thank you for making the CGM so much easier to do, understand and follow. 💕

[@tylerplays.8863]

💙 I am about two weeks into my transition and my hair is a lot like yours, so I’m getting a lot of inspiration from your videos! Thank you!

[@thosebeyondgod]

I hope everything went well and you feel happy now!

[@jennbatron4659]

💙 My hair was all sausage curls when I was little, but once it grew out it was stick straight for years. A few years ago, I started to have to flat iron my hair because it was so unruly and frizzy. Over this past summer, I stopped flat ironing it (laziness on my part) and all of a sudden I had waves! By the fall, I had 2c/3a hair- with some cowlicks and straight portions thrown in for fun- and had NO IDEA how to take care of it. Your videos have been amazingly helpful. Thank you for sharing your hair journey!

[@samanthab3292]

My hair was curly when I was little too! Then straightening it was just the easiest way to manage it. But I definitely have curly hair! 😱

[@kelliajackson3209]

Could you please make a video on how you get your hair to be so shiny? 💙 I’ve always had dull hair and it’s only amplified by wearing it curly :(

[@NovaNomes]

Kelli A Jackson I like to rub a few drops of joboba oil in my hands and smooth over my hair, or use it to scrunch out the crunch. Gives a lovely shiny finish without looking greasy. :)

[@Jayden_gemini]

Kelli A Jackson you can use a serum it won’t make your hair greasy at all

[@denadargentina2518]

Use a dry spray oil.. then you dont even have to touch your hair

[@elenakaraseva7156]

Is mineral oil allowed for some shine?

[@olivest509]

My hair got more shiny as it got healthier, also when I use protein treatments it adds shine. I'm still waiting for the shine that Courtney has, but my curls are still developing so I'm hoping it will happen soon. If you look at her beginning videos, her hair had a lot less shine just like mine does now.

[@ivyulmer2638]

💙 New to CGM (literally starting today!) and was recommend your channel! Bought my first defuser today 😂 Haven’t owned a blow dryer in LITERALLY years.

[@edeodell8987]

I've air dried for years, too. Borrowed a dryer first. Tried another friend's, then one more to narrow it down. Helped me figure out what I didn't like! Yes, invested in a dryer, & the orchid, too. Takes me FOREVER to get dry!!! Even still!

[@MissSorceress]

Wonderful video. I also feel the need to thank you for not including ANY blowdrier sounds XD

[@BreeZ224]

You seriously have taught me so much in the past few weeks binge watching your videos. I was using glycerin and devacurl products and my hair was always so frizzy and I didn’t understand why!!! Now I’m struggling with my refresh! Would love to see your refresh routine

[@kathyforgues6994]

♡I don't have a blue heart on tablet but watched the whole video. Your hair is gorgeous! I have always had curly hair but it has gotten curlier as I have aged. But had been fighting my curls, now I am working on making them healthier! There are lot of steps, trying to make it bearable!

[@rosemarycirco9743]

I am a 'come to the party' embracing the curl but I did have an epiphany moment at age 57 and ere we are! Your music is amazing and with a black orchid ready to go can't wait to do this in the am. Thank you my dear.

[@TruthinLove]

That test-for-dryness tip is genius! Thank you! I finally have a way to check dampness without ruining my curls. Tried it tonight. 👍

[@scruffysmom]

💙 This is very helpful. I have always let my hair air dry and I know that’s why it’s so frizzy

[@edeodell8987]

Me, too, girlfriend!!

[@Laundrey1]

That clip cowlick trick is genius! Thank you!!!! Can’t wait to try it

[@sadfurby2376]

💙 my diffuser just arrived and I’m watching this while plopping :) I’m excited

[@CocoTheSpookyLibrarian]

💙 lol same

[@anneg4819]

Omg great trick with the cowlick clip! Thanks!

[@lb2799]

Just bought the product today. I’ve been struggling with my curls for awhile. I’m 30 and after I had my daughter 7 years ago my hair changed well along with the many dye jobs I’ve done. After these videos I’m very excited to try them! Hopefully they work. 🤞🏻

[@jessicalove4590]

💙Thank you for sharing this. I just got a diffuser so I am still learning how to do it properly and I think it will help me.

[@samck72]

💙 I am just now getting info in starting the Curly Girl Method. I hated my hair for years, but after watching many different videos, I feel that I just might be able to love my hair again. Thanks for the videos.

[@lincantevolepuppydoglover813]

I am glad to finally find someone who has my hair type 😁 i just started my hair journey and her hair looks like mine except my hair looks more damaged, thanks so much for your awesome videos!!

[@jayhulrs1435]

I wear earbuds and listen to podcasts while I diffuse , helps pass the time

[@twhyt]

💙 ty for taking the time to show us the entire routine, including the cowlick.

[@bethandickinson8984]

💙 thank you so much for making these videos! I’ve been doing the CG method for a month now, after straightening my hair daily all my life and your videos have helped me so much!! I’ve been air drying but just bought my first diffuser so please wish me luck! 😄

[@ftroopmom]

I am still watching! Just started my journey about 10 days ago and your videos have been the absolute go-to's for me. THANK YOU. And from one Rebel to another... Romans 12:2

[@avocadospread988]

I almost never see curly hair videos that have the same hair type as me, but my hair looks almost exactly like this, this was super helpful :)

[@isam1837]

Thought i was the only one enjoying the stretch of the diffusing upsidedown.....soooo good for my back. Actually the scrountching in the bathtub is what’s hurting the most. Helpfull video. Merci!!!

[@bubblysis]

💙 I have always been scared of a hot dryer on my curls cause I always get frizz .... slowly getting into the diffusing!

[@sarahfrank7087]

💙 I have just started this curly girl journey and your videos have saved me! Thank you so much! Keep ‘em coming!

[@amyleogoddess1390]

Thank u for showing us how u got the orchid to fit the Dyson!!! I love that diffuser!!! Now since u figured out how to fit it now I cam start saving your for a Dyson!!!!

[@babsiegirl1440]

Your hair and curls look so pretty and shiny! Thanks for sharing!!

[@eileenscheindlinger2395]

💙 how your curls look! ... and 💙 that you included ALL steps in this video! Thank you, it's been quite helpful!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you Eileen! I am so glad it helped you out! Yay!

[@lachesislooms9233]

Great idea wit the magnets! I thought it was bling ring at first!

[@kellyyancer4986]

💙 Thank you SOO much. I've seen so many videos that say to diffuse but nobody shows exactly how! You are so loved!!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@kellyblevins3033]

💙 This was so helpful. I have been struggling with the back looking like a rat's nest while the front is coming along nicely. The cowlick trick is REVOLUTIONARY! That is one of the worst parts (no pun intended) for me.

[@sarareckling5292]

💙 I love to read while diffusing.

[@heatherjarman1646]

That’s what I do too! Lol

[@traceysummers3521]

Every time I'd go to the hair dresses they'd say you hair is very fine and wavy, which I didn't understand cause it just supper dry and frizzy. I've always wanted long wavy hair its finally got long but its sooo damaged. Watching your channel has made me think whether my hair is like your's and needs a restart and some major TLC. I'm so scared to cut it cause it takes dinasore years to grow. Ha as I'm watching this your talking about your cow lick and mines in the same place. I've never heard of a defuser. Thanks for you confidence and honesty about your hair and products alike.

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Maybe try Viviscal if you don’t have any seafood allergies, it really helped me grow hair when I went through a period of hair loss last year. I took it along with a Hair, Skin and Nails vitamin. Do lots of protein treatments on your hair it really helps, or Olaplex if you can afford it.

[@ceciramos316]

Love your results I’m new to diffusing have thin fine curly, wavy hair I hate diffusing but love the results 😩

[@amandawiparinabeam7885]

I had Never heard of hair diffusers until I started watching your videos. Will be getting one soon to try out 💙

[@priscilladuran7621]

When do you part your hair? The front part of my hair always looks so crazy

[@Nietbelangrijkk]

I suggest doing it when it’s still wet and you put all your curling products in

[@thespicybutcher]

Yessssssssss no one seems to do the 2A-c hair!!! I love your hair. I am new to learning how to wear my hair and trying to be patient... years of damage and dryness some days are better than others

[@imsody]

Thank you so much!!! I had no idea about the cowlick trick! Having low density I've always hated how the back my hair looks when I wash or diffuse upside down. I'm really exited to try this trick!

[@HydnBB2]

Wow! Never thought of gluing magnets. Thanks for the great idea!😄♥️

[@saracaminiti7095]

I just started my curly hairy journey and love it so far, but have been struggling with my 🐮cowlick and not being able to use heat on it, so I am definitely going to try clipping it shut on my next wash day!

[@MichelleSK6]

I love your cheerfulness in all your videos! Glad I found your channel 💙

[@mnn6494]

💙 your cowlick trick is genius. Thank you.

[@Hollycat50]

I bought a folding stool to sit on while diffusing upside down. I throw a mat under it and it's perfect. Worth every penny!

[@jenniferanderson9402]

Omg!!! The cowlick clip!! Perfect!!!!!

[@UnAshamed2010]

💙 had watched this once but wanted a refresher. I’m so impatient!!

[@erinokeefe2091]

Oh I don't know if I have the patience for that. 💙 I'm going to try my first curly girl wash and style tomorrow. 🤞

[@ZabZab1]

💙 started my journey 2 weeks ago. I love your videos, I learn a lot from them

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

You are so sweet! You got this Elizebeth!

[@amandah2866]

This is fantastically helpful!! The major issue I'm having is that I only have a silicon diffuser and it keeps collapsing on me and then there's the fact that my waves are ending up stringy.

[@JC-kn5rb]

💙 . Just started my CGM and I’m super excited, this is my second wash day!! I am so thankful for you and all the knowledge you share with us! Thank you!

[@nancylewis8338]

Love watching your videos they have helped me so much with my wavy hair.. thank you for the videos

[@nativeSDgirl]

I also have a cow lick and was wondering how to address it. Thank you for the tip!!!

[@savannahhoward8232]

I love your trick about flipping the part for more volume!! I am going to have to try that! And then switching back and forth between flipping my head upside down and then standing back up. 💙

[@elizabethschumacher9276]

Thank you for the cow lick clip idea!!! I hate my little bald spot when I diffuse upside down

[@natwest1971]

💙 Wait, I wanted to see you scrunch out the crunch! Looks like I need to watch more of your videos….

[@lisak7214]

💙 Thanks for the great videos. Very helpful. I had poker straight hair my entire life and it has recently turned wavy/curly. I’m 53 and have no idea about what or how to care for and style this hair. It’s very frustrating! So thank you so much!

[@longyarn4288]

💙! I don't diffuse...yet, because my hair really isn't long, or dense, enough to warrant it. As a matter of fact I have to be careful how long I leave clips in it. About five to seven minutes is all it takes to set. Longer than that and I'll have to mist it to relax the alien looking peaks that form! LOL! My pixie is getting longer though! So excited! 😆

[@courtneyperkins2684]

💙 the way you explain everything and I really enjoy your videos. I just bought the Orchid Defuser and I love it. I get a better looks with it after defusing. Thank you!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

You are so sweet!!! Hugs!!!

[@MJ3052]

Thank you so much!! Diffused my hair for the first time today!!!

[@Freckledwhimsy_Karrie]

💙I was just thinking to myself the other day when watching one of your videos that i could watch you talking about paint drying and still love it. I adore your personality and positivity and love that you teach as you make your videos. You research and give examples and reasoning and all the things!!! I'm so happy to have found you!!! PS your hair is gorgeous!!!

[@larrydahomie]

💙 I know I’m late but I love this video, the music is so calming and seeing the whole method of diffusing really gives me a new appreciation of this hair type. Also have to mention your so pretty and your hair is absolutely beautiful. You have a new sub 💕

[@Alexa-gw5pm]

Love it just be careful with your lower back. I use a chair for support when diffusing upside down to help my back. Love the help with the cowlick. I have a really bad cowlick and it needs help lol.

[@andeeskinner1194]

I'm so grateful for the 'permission' to use high speed and higher heat than cool! 💙

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Permission granted! 😊

[@maryormsby5555]

I'm watching on my computer and don't have a blue heart, but I watched the whole vid! I am so glad that I found your channel, because I'm pretty sure that my hair is mainly 2A waves. It's barely wavy AT ALL, but I also have a fair bit of damage I'm working with. Your channel has been so helpful to see hair similar (hopefully) to mine - and it's comforting to see your pics from your transition, because my hair looks the same right now! Thanks for the tips and the hope of pretty waves!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

2a hair is so pretty though. My son has 2a long hair, and it curls just like a model who got her hair styled on a photo shoot 😆 I have 2c thin fine hair, and it’s such a struggle.

[@cindyf.]

💙 love watching your videos. I do leg squats when I’m diffusing. Your hair looks amazing! 😍

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Wavy Latina now that is a good idea!!!! I may start doing that too! 🙌🏻

[@samanthab3292]

And calf raises!

[@lsmith304]

The magnet idea is brilliant!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

I got the idea from a girl on Instagram. instagram.com/iisabellaoliviaa?igshid=1sb503khygx6b

[@catwmn14]

You have so much more patience than I would! 💙

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Alissa Mills haha listing to music or an audio book are the only things that get me through it!!!

[@InLiquidColor]

Thank you for the tip on the cowlick! Can't wait to try that next wash day.

[@supernoodle704]

💙 Thank you so much for this, my hair changed textures a couple years ago and I’ve was struggling with it but your videos really help as I have the same texture. It’s really helpful to watch videos like this and now I’ve even got my grandmother to try the curly girl method and honestly I’m jealous of her new found curls but mine are finally settling in really nicely. 💙

[@Chamaenerion-angustifolium]

I love your hair and your channel! Thank you from Russia ❤😉

[@lisalamotte7247]

Thank you for the Cowlick tip! I have a bad one on the back of my head. I will be using my clip for mine.

[@heathertorres2634]

💙 very helpful! I get some workings when I diffuse upside down but I think it's my method. Watching this is most helpful!

[@sarahjanemunroe1606]

Thank you for all the information! I was going to try diffusing tomorrow morning before work but wasn’t sure where to begin! Perfect time with this video 😊👍🏻

[@thisispip]

Thanks for the hair drying tips! My hair is much finer so doesn't take half as long to dry. x

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Same here. I usually hate my fine thin hair, but at least I can get it diffused in record time 😆

[@Fannyversum]

💙☺️ Thanks for this great video! I'm definetly ging to test this out... I normaly let my hair air dry, but I'm struggling with its stubborn behavior after plopping. Didn't find the right strategy yet. Maybe diffusing will make it better. Hopefully without frizz... 🙈

[@edeodell8987]

I feel ya! Me, too

[@hopkinsse]

💙 I've gotten. So many good ideas and tips from you. My best results came from watching your videos

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Yay! I’m so glad if these videos are helpful!

[@leighannejames1797]

💙 just starting my journey. Loving seeing the whole process

[@josephandashlynmcfatridge4966]

💙 I just started CGM a month ago, and I'm already in love with my results. So enjoying your informational and adorable videos! Hoping for clumps this wash day 🤞

[@tamkeensakeena7643]

If you don’t mind telling me, What’s your routine? ❤️❤️

[@emzadia]

💙💙 because this is the SECOND time I've watched this! 😀

[@elizabethfoord7180]

Your hair is amazing! So jealous of your clumps! I am just starting my journey so hopefully it will get better. Maybe more products. Thanks for your videos

[@nellylindner2715]

💙You are being helpful even after 2 years!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Awe I am so glad! That is the great part about these techniques. If they work, they work.

[@susane8166]

This changed my game! Thank you for all of your help!!❤️

[@essbee3720]

BRILLIANT that you found a way to connect the Orchid diffuser. What kind of magnets did you use? Ditto the epoxy?

[@samanthacruz6135]

You know what’s so weird ! When my hair is wet and I scrunch it upside down , it looks the same way as yours. But then for some reason when I flip it around slowly. My waves fall and separate! It doesn’t make sense 😭

[@TheKoryne]

Mine too! I'm hoping diffusing will help me! I have beautiful curls when wet then they fall flat

[@ALT-vz3jn]

You need a styling product with stronger hold 🌺

[@abbiepancakeeater52]

This is late but your hair may be lacking protein if the curls go limp like that.

[@malavikapadmanabha]

💙 The trick of on and off of the diffuser is what I missed. I had used diffuser 1st time today. I am a newbie to CGM!!

[@lilixe]

I am in a battle with my difuser...the minute i turn it on the amount of flyaways makes me wanna cry. Then I noticed in another video that you turn off the blowdryer when you change section, and though to my self.."omg that's it!!!" Tried it today aaaaaaaand.....nop...got even worse, i look like a warewolf. I'm getting really upset, i put in sooooo much time with my hair and somehow i am messing it up everytime...but your videos keep me going and teach me a lot...so thank you!i will get it right!

[@zsazsak879]

Love the trick with the cowlick. I have a nasty one

[@melanieherbertmusic]

Oh my goodness, leaving the whole diffusing process in was so helpful! Thank you!!
