How To Make Coarse, Curly Hair Look Good ft. Jesse's Barbershop

[@Jessesbarbershop]

Let’s go Thomas! You’re a damn HERO in the men’s hair community.

[@abdulchaudry1585]

Mannnn your version was minimal af... Disappointed cos you explain things really well

Every once in a while I end up here, in the KZbin's rabbit hole of curly hair styling. Now that I'm trying for the first time to let my hair grow freely, this video was very informative.

[@lil_windex2968]

this video saved my life i have the same hair as you i was looking on you tube desperately to find a hair routine that worked but none of them had my hair type thank you for this

[@briankestel4467]

This was another fantastic colab with Jessie! Definitely worth watching... Super fun, informative, and enjoyable. I learned a ton today! 1) I’m not using enough product! Not even close! Thanx Thom for showing it to us! 2) I don’t visit the glory hole enough! Being a cheap ass old man , and doing the zombie shuffle at the drugstore is done for me, starting today! I promise to go find some good stuff! Thx Jessie! 3) Have belief and faith in my own hair, and that it can, and will look good if I try. 4) I’m NOT alone. I certainly look forward to seeing another great vid like this in the future! Be well guys! 😻

[@izmar]

As soon as you started talking about the cuticle, moisture, product issue this definitely clicked. Seeing your hair without any treatment is exactly how mine ends up looking. Appreciate the breakdown. I've been using a leave in conditioner which has helped immensely, but towards the end of the day it starts to frizz out regardless. Time to do my own research and experimentation with products that will moisturise and seal my cuticles.

[@ricardopina2088]

Hey man, i had the same issue. I’ve been using products by and for black women lmao. Hair milk by Carols daughter is very cheap and lasts all day for me

I know I’m quite late, but using a hairspray locks in moisture really well for me, maybe you could try it

[@kevin_dutra]

I think this video saved my hair. I've just watched it, haven't tried anything yet but this morning I was thinking pretty hard about cutting my hair because I thought it was hopeless.

[@Ryan_kev03]

Nice vid. Worth mentioning that using hairdryer on top of holding cream is only a viable option to guys that aren’t balding or thinning as this procedure can REALLY boost balding and shedding. And yes even if you apply hair oils afterwards.

[@hoejackborseman1059]

The problem with haircare videos on YT is that nothing completely suits my hair. By that I mean I have 2c - 3C curly hair on my crown and 1A to 2B straight hair on my back and sides. I either have to: 1. Cut the sides and back short to maintain my curls and waves, or 2. Use heat on my top hair and straighten it to match it with my back and sides. Worst of both worlds.

[@isaacgonzalez6510]

Wow i haven’t been able to find a video with such great info specific to my hair type. My hair super to the second guy in the video. Thank you for this!

[@BeardnScars]

Thats crazy i found that same conclusion with my hair. And thank you for letting us know of your solutions!

[@thomasinaction]

Thanks for sharing Vince! It’s like a tricky game huh?!?

[@scooternsc2356]

This video never gets old! Still hugely helpful! Love ya man!!!

[@Nubesyxochis]

Sooo helpful! My wiry, thick, coarse wavy hair was clearly not getting enough styling product (or moisturizing cream) and that's why it was so frizzy/puffy. thanks!

[@Growth_Journey]

Did it work? I hate my hair that have the appearance of straight hair but the feel of coarse hair.

[@Nubesyxochis]

@@Growth_Journey I'm a bit confused about what you wrote since straight hair can be both straight and coarse or straight and fine/medium. But yes, it did make a difference, particularly if - as he stated- you resist the temptation to touch your hair until the cast has formed. The other thing I did was come in with a layer of gel (after the mousse) to ensure there was enough hold.

[@S1mce]

I basically have the exact same hair texture you have! Feels good not to be the only one and to learn from one another 🙌

[@thomasinaction]

Woohoo! Hope this video helped Simon! Thanks for showing up today! ❤️

This is probably the first video which directly addresses the issue. Maybe we are cousins because our hair are identical, facing the same issue, lol.

Cheers Matt 🥂 ❤️

[@asimshaikh4068]

I used to have hair that was dry af and curly and I literally just started using only shampoo, then dampen hair and use coconut oil on 40% dry hair (5 to 6 drops for 2 to 3 inches of hair) and combing them back, then tying a towel over it for an hour and viola, frizz free hair for a whole day, just keep running fingers to the back for curl definition. Works for two days easy, but I wash hair everyday, with shampoo on alternate days and only water on other days, then combing it back without using any oil and tying the towel. Works like a charm, hair never been healthier, Alhamdulillah.

[@crazy808ish]

If anybody is struggling with coarse curly hair, I recommend looking into Japanese Hair Straightening. It's a lot like the keratin one you got a couple years back except it's permanent. I tried embracing my curls in the beginning, but no matter what, it just wasn't for me and I was never happy with it. I get the hair straightening treatment done once a year at the beginning of summer, and it stays good for about 9 months before the roots start growing too visibly different. Then I heat straighten the roots for the remaining 3 months or so, and it's basically minimal work, for perfectly manageable hair all year. :)

[@thomasinaction]

It may ruin your hair. So just be careful!

[@crazy808ish]

@@thomasinaction Are you referring to that one blog post that tends to show up whenever you google it? 😂 I agree, people should be aware of what could go wrong. Please don't go to some shady back-alley salon because you heard they could do it for cheap. Find a good hairstylist, and ruining your hair won't happen. (esp one who obviously remembers to put all the treatments, including the neutralizing agent at the end.) The hairstylist I went with not only had great yelp reviews and had been doing it for years. But he also ran an instagram page with before and after pictures of different customers, which showed a variety of hair types. You should find one like that so you can be confident in their skills.

[@jennywithaglock3916]

im 4 years into growing out my incredibly thick, coarse 3b ringlets. (sorry thomas but u have 2c/3a at most cos my ringets are the width of a sharpie and aint NO WAY im type 4/kinky/afro w my white ass) lets just say the awkward phase was more of a car crash phase, but wet styling with heavy curl creams and leave in moisture made even my shorter phases look eviable. now im at a point where every day im amazed by what my hair can do (all this to say, i use Kerastase's expensive ass curl line so no shit it looks good) but even with whatever i could find, it's really all about the way you treat curls and waves out of the shower, rather than the wash itself. always a leave in conditioner, always a mousse/curl cream/gel/oil butter sometimes a serum/oil and you're set for bouncy and shiny defined curls. my own hair and love for styling it has lead me to becoming a hairdresser

[@kelswhoelse_]

I was hoping for some advice-- You say you hate men cutting their hair because they think it’s shit, and I feel the same! That’s what I’m desperately trying to prevent. Thankfully winter has bought me a little time but it’s still a problem. My boyfriend does tattoos, and he has curly hair that isn’t quite long enough for a bun or pony. So while tattooing, it’s almost always in his face. He doesn’t want to push it back and contaminate his gloves/needle etc. He hates the frizz, and I love the curls but sometimes being in a hurry he doesn’t let me do the things I have guessed would handle the frizz and keep him curly like I love. He has bought some of the face masks that were like, I dunno spandex maybe? That are just like, small sleeves for your face. He’s cut them in half to use as a headband. It’s a decent solution but doesn’t hold well, nor does it look…. Good. It doesn’t look very good. With people’s tendency to photograph the process of getting a tattoo, I don’t want people posting pictures where he looks goofy. So I decided to look up solutions and ended up on your video after watching jesse’s. I’ll say I like your detail and energy much better. What would you recommend?

[@albertallen9744]

Jesse’s hair is total goals! I permed my hair to get it curly but everytime I apply a curling cream, my hair just goes back to straight >.< any suggestions for what I can apply to get my permed hair to pop?

[@thomasinaction]

The curl cream may be a bit too heavy which may be weighing the hair down. Have you tried mousse? It’s FAR lighter and allows the hair to keep its bounce.

[@Lihan913]

Okay I guess I yyoruoyouito towl

[@blackgothgoddess3164]

Maybe a spray leave in conditioner or a lightweight oil could help

[@isabellevasquez7433]

I would do a lightweight botanical gel or mousse! Such as innersense I create volume gel/“lotion” (it’s a gel, just a very liquidy one) and for mousse I really like the ones from the doux and innersense

I wish that were true 😂 I have an extremely dry scalp and it never gets oily so I have no hope of not using product

[@bennybongosbigolebonanza894]

I do most days conditioner only. Why no shampoo? Something about red-rashed flakey scalp just doesn’t work. 😂

I used the shampoo from Goldwell in this video, but my scalp did not like it after some months. It was to strong and for the first time in life my scalp was irritated. Today I use Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo instead. It’s more natural and my hair and scalp love it!

[@luiscontreras6976]

When do you guys brush your hair though? Some people do it while they're showering but I've also read that brushing it while it's too wet can cause more hair fall as it is more vulnerable. I personally brush it a few minutes after the shower but it disrupts the natural curl pattern :'(

[@gsf8839]

Only comb it with wide tooth comb when it's wet to detangle or when you're conditioning your hair to spread the conditioner.

[@thomasinaction]

I literally don’t. Not at this length anyway. The most imI use is my comb and round brush when I do my blowout

[@blackgothgoddess3164]

[@ivornoiv]

For a long time I thought I had high pore hair but then I came with a vital information. High porosity is a hair that dries really quickly and what happens with my hair is actually the opposite. It takes for ever. So The real type is thick low pore hair. And the products you have to use are actually lighter products cause to oily thick products will saturate the hair really quickly.

It would be great if you could explore how to create some of these products from scratch instead of purchasing them pre-made. The raw ingredients are incredibly affordable, allowing us to make our own hair care solutions at just a fraction of the cost-sometimes as low as 1/10th to 1/20th of the price of store-bought alternatives. This way, viewers can save money and customize their hair care routines according to their preferences.
