Do you sleep on a satin pillowcase? I recommend actually sleeping in a satin bonnet to keep your curls in tact, off your neck, and away from friction on your pillow.

I don’t remember which video was it but watch Manes by mell videos. I think one of the reasons for flat roots was applying too much product in the length of the hair which makes the hair weigh down. Also, for better curly results, do finger coiling once in a while after applying your styling cream or whatever you use.

Cameron Seymour- The CGM works for some people, not so much for others. It brushes over the most important parts of making your hair healthy, like not brushing while it’s dry and not using sulfates. Everyone’s hair is different and different products work in different people’s hair.

Sleep tip: instead of putting hair up, just flip/lay it over the pillow (silk pillowcase of course!), that way you don't lay on it, but hairties won't destroy the curls, like the pineapple does for me. (I will mention, I am a 2c/3a, with fine hair, so my curls are easily messed up). Edit: works best for still sleepers! XD

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Epsom salt spray really brings out my curls even at my roots. This only works if your hair gets curlier when you go to the beach. I guess it’s the same chemical reaction? 1/2 teaspoon epsom salt dissolved in 1 cup hot distilled water, (can add 10 drops of lavender essential oil for a lovely scent), spray generously, scrunch well, let dry (it dries stiff. Don’t panic!), scrunch well again until the stiffness is softened. Epsom salt can be drying so deep condition weekly. Strangers have complimented my hair. Such a confidence boost after years of feeling ugly. I can’t use gels, creams, etc. My skin breaks out everywhere (face, neck, ears!) my product-laden hair touches it so the only thing I can use is epsom salt spray. I also use aloe vera spray since it doesn’t cause breakouts and has very light hold.The Denman brush did not enhance my curl pattern unfortunately. My hair is too thin/fine.

I had a Denman brush in high school. Back in the days where I straightened my hair every single day. I lost the brush years ago and when I started really looking into how to enhance my 2c hair, I saw that brush mentioned and kicked myself for not keeping that brush. I've already ordered a new one because seeing several ladies' results with it really showed me how much of a difference it really makes. I also use a wooden bristle brush because I've heard that the wood absorbs your natural oils from your scalp and spreads them throughout your hair way more easily. Granted, I only get that chance once a week, but still!

[@longyarn4288]

I've had really good success with three different curl enhancers: DIY flaxseed gel, Jessicurl Rockin' Ringlets (glycerin free), and Uncle Funky's Daughter's Curl Magic (has aloe vera).

I used to straighten my hair (3A/B curls) almost every single day too. Now I barely use heat anymore to style my hair and although it's difficult in the beginning, it's really worth it. I never followed the strict curly girl method rules, just picked up tips and tricks here and there and went with what I felt like worked best for my hair (mild sulfates once a month, no silicones, deep conditioning once a week, diffusing, scrunching to name a few), but the transformation after 2-3 months was pretty incredible (even to me, although I'm usually my harshest critic) and thinking about what my hair could look like once all the heat damage has grown out/cut off makes me really excited about my natural hair journey. The beginning is scary when you're used to straightening all the time and basically have no clue how to handle your natural curls (trust me on this one though: your curls are as confused as you are at this state. Give them some time!), but not only the final outcome but also the journey is totally worth it! Almost all of my straight haired friends love my natural hair and wish they had curls too, so if nature has blessed you with natural curls, take good care of them and embrace them! ❤️

Your hair looks good! I wanna do all this, but the video was overwhelming with out cutting it into steps. The amount of products were also overwhelming. Just a friendly tip.

[@jordanranthroughit6676]

Thank you for the tips! I will definitely start incorporating these into my hair routine. Also, you look absolutely beautiful without make up too...a very classic kind of beauty.

[@nursefrye]

I wanna have curly hair that lays nice without so much frizz! My hair is BIG it goes out to the side so I will wear it down seldom. I finally got myself a denman brush today 👍🏼 Thx for sharing how to use the brush!💯

[@sofiyab.]

I scrunch in gel, let it air dry then scrunch out the gel and my hair look so nice but the moment I go out all the waves and curls fall flat and there's frizz 😭

[@rachellep2581]

With a complexion like yours I would never wear makeup 🤩. Honestly shocked, you look 10 years younger without any.

[@astroe9391]

I think i have 3b/3c hair and every time i twist my hair when wet it ruins my pattern or if i scrunch it the curl separates. i’ve been trying to find a way to strengthen my curls ugh i need help 😭 i’m the only one in my family who has curly hair

[@kavita2937]

Try using products with proteins such as hydrogenated keratin or silk amino acid.

[@tianamatthews9583]

that's odd? I have 3b/3c hair and when I twist it wet it doesn't ruin it... it looks like a twist out but when I wet it up my curls aren't ruined

[@alissaspafford8846]

[@angelat2917]

Curls Repairative Hair Wash is the bomb!

[@astroe9391]

yeah sadly i’m still struggling lmao. i have low porosity hair. and when i do the scrunch method my hair still looks like the left side of her thumbnail 😂

[@priscillaescobar7256]

I just have to say I love your videos, you are very professional and detailed about everything, I love your calm demeanor and personality and really look forward to your videos ♥️

[@denilee0]

Olaplex was something that actually made my curls go away

[@Miranda3730]

Wow😱

[@brianatable6065]

All good stuff. Only thing is cold water does not seal the cuticle. You’re better off with hot water. It’s all about ph. Use distilled water or apple cider vinegar. Staying around that ph will seal that cuticle!! And yes Ik it sounds crazy but water at different temps or stages has a different ph.

[@himikotoga2776]

My hair : tiny wave My goal : curly or wavy

[@NSell6750]

I love your tips! I’m transitioning and have the same curl pattern as you. Your videos have helped me soooo much!! ❤️❤️ thank you!!

[@lunnna3264]

I don’t know what to do my hair is like curly In the back and In the front it’s wavy/straight And it’s really annoying so this helped a lot!

[@karenreyes8348]

Vuttionbratz 😭same but the other way around, more curly in the front and then really less curly in the back like it still looks heat damaged even tho I cut all the dead hair off after 4 years of going natural again😕

[@iluvfruit]

Karen Reyes same and i always have a lot more frizz on the back and less curls on the roots

[@karenreyes8348]

Alyssa A 😔I washed my hair yesterday and I always notice one side always looks nicer than the other side like, I don’t understand and I sometimes wanna shave my hair off 😂

[@iluvfruit]

Karen Reyes same i washed my hair yesterday and it already looks bad

[@karenreyes8348]

Alyssa A is your hair like dry? Or is it soft and it just frizzes crazy after the shower?

[@valentinalicci4655]

2.30 totally agree about olaplex 3. This single product saved my curly hair. Best of all.

[@sugarkayy1]

I always go to your channel for tips with naturally curly hair! This video was super informative and I'm really excited to try out this method-and definitely going to be getting that brush!! tysm🙌🏽

[@GenaMarie]

Thank you so much!

[@ashmodo1097]

Soooo yeah depending on the products you are using, technically it’s better to do a clarifying shampoo before going in with the olaplex. The results are much better if the hair is cleansed first and shampooed out again after the treatment.

[@kaylinlouw643]

Not all of my hair has the same curl pattern. Like the hair close to my roots will have much tighter curls than the hair at my roots. My hair is also really long though. Any tips to get the same curl pattern throughout my hair ?

[@agood1]

Same problem. I have tons of curls under layer, then the back top is wavy, then around the middle outter layer is a mix of straight and wavy... I wear my hair in a bun like 90%of the time. I use no heat, stopped over a year ago. Definately and improvement, but still messy.

[@lovephobic]

Jewel's Journey sameeee

[@L0vesickpill]

Do finger coils when styling, manes by mell has a video on it

[@firebow2810]

That's because your hair is so heavy that it's weighing the top down. Get a lot of layers, it helps so much!

[@agood1]

Good advice everyone thank you all!

[@lauraanderson1154]

Olaplex relaxes my curl pattern for the first few washes. I’ve switched to Curlsmith bond repair. My hair looks great after I use it.

[@EmalineMadera]

5:37, from my experience you don’t have to scrunch your curls like that. You can lift them without the ending squeeze and achieve an even better result. Just my thoughts. Curly girl love 🤞

[@hihi-pg6py]

I have 2b hair and this is very helpful

[@noepp]

I think it's better to put Olaplex 3 on clean hair

[@Nora-ks2sq]

My hair is just like that- really messy with no pattern with waves and curls everywhere. It makes me want to give up and just go back to my hair being frizzy and denty like it was before.

[@mercrn1995]

My curly hair is always a struggle :(

[@nadaghazawy7068]

The Denham brush works I've seen a change in my curls , anyone thinking of buying one please do you won't regret it.

[@mysticalmermaid3650]

i have stick straight hair yet i am watching this... lol.. great video 😊

[@vantegogh1622]

Most of the comments here are related to mine. My hair is frizzy, kinda wavy kinda curly, different type of curly front and back of the head.

[@victoriasanchez8660]

same it’s a hassle and i don’t even know what to do with it anymore

[@zoemzoemdebij]

My hair used to be very curly but now it’s wavy 😂😂 I miss my curls

[@ugotarbysvag9078]

Psa to all you natural curl people, you’re very blessed and your hair is amazing. My mom and sister have curly hair but I unfortunately got my dads straight hair, so I’m doomed to perm my hair until I later go bald in life Edit: I perm cause straight hair is ugly and impossible to handle imo

[@kittany]

my hair used to be curly locks but now ive damaged it by straightening it all the time. this video might actually help! i'll keep you all updated on day 20

[@TripletPetite]

We love our denman brush! It works amazing! :)

[@GenaMarie]

Me too!

[@longyarn4288]

Y'all are too cute! I'm jealous! I'm a one and only; no one to share with. 👍👍

[@TripletPetite]

@@longyarn4288 Aww, thank you so much!!:D

[@SparklesNJazz]

GIRL... your hair before olaplex looks like mine now. i’m getting this stuff

[@tammyhunt9471]

What type of sprayer bottle is that? I've never seen one that has constant spray without pumping it.

[@godisdead6611]

Tammy Hunt if you google “continuous spray water bottle” you’ll find tons of them, they’re pricier than the normal bottles, usually $8-15

[@araleighrane2548]

I was born with a super cute spiral curls but when i became a teen I started to brush it even when dry and used flat iron until i decided to wear it curly but it's not the same anymore its so frizzy and the curls are not that defined so hope this works!

[@saratucker3900]

My hair needs help, the top is actually stick straight but at the ends it’s like some of my hair is loose S curls and some of it is like perfect loose ringlets it’s a problem especially the straight top of my hair anyone have advise

[@GenaMarie]

Are you using silicones or heavy creams? Silicone will weigh down the curls as I mentioned in the video. Also clarifying frequently is good to prevent the roots being weighed down.

[@saratucker3900]

Honestly couldn’t even tell you what I’m using. I’m using a curl cream from like Kroger and my shampoo has sulfate but not silicone. Thx for your help!!

[@monibunny9847]

@@saratucker3900 Look at the ingredients, almost all silicones end with -ONE or -ANE, that´s a fast way to know. Example: Amino Bispropyl Dimethicone Cyclopentasiloxane Methicone Phenyl Trimethicones Polydimethylsiloxane

[@alicesings1971]

Your amazing ! I also find that products w/hydrolyzed wheat protein increased my curls. The info about the brush is new to me 👍🏻 After straightening my hair and then wanting my natural curly hair back, I learned about the curly girl method. Your advice is very helpful info. I can’t wait to get started. You have a new follower. Also I’m noticing it’s not taking as long now for my hair to get curlier faster and stay curled longer. 💙🎶👍🏻

[@blukatzen]

For those of us that are celiacs, wheat protein is POISON. It can make our hair fall out, and get rashes/psoriasis or eczema type rashes. Of course, not everyone has these problems, but for those of us that are gluten free, this is a big issue for us. Even though our hair doesn't "digest" wheat from eating it, it still is a poison for us and we get issues from being exposed to it on our skin.

[@wavykidd8126]

i have the weirdest hair type ever. my back of my head is EXTREMELY loose waves, under the first layers are the most tight coils ever, and then on the top it’s loose curls and waves. anybody else? also any products i should use?

[@douxaudios1952]

Go makeup free! No matter what!! You look so many times younger and cleaner. You literally look GORGEOUS. That's what people be wanting to look likeeee omg dont ruin it with makeuppp.

[@shannongalloway9500]

I’m new to CGM. I’m 2 weeks in..... I have 2C/3A curls. My curls are tighter and more ringlet on the ends. The top is wavy or almost straight. How do I fix this?

[@sanikapatil5567]

I have no idea what to do but same

[@hanabanana8028]

i find finger coiling to be very helpful. joy before her has a great tutorial. hope this helps x

[@feliz8423]

saaaamee

[@GenaMarie]

The tips in this video will hopefully help for the hair at the root too! Just remember how it takes time and is a long process to fully grow out and recover hair. Diffusing upside down can help to curly up the roots more, along with scrunching.

[@danimarie35]

I have the same curl type that you do! Anytime I notice the top getting real straight or wavy, it’s time for a haircut and some more layers. I usually only need a cut once every 5 or 6 months. If all your curls are kinda sad and undefined, you might also need a protein treatment! Hope that helps!!

[@lindamattson1259]

Great tips! I’m certainly going to give them a try! Thanks!

[@chesniestuart7591]

I had super straight, flat hair when I was little. Now my hair has ringlets and is all over the place. I am trying to embrace my natural hair but it’s just so weird right now... 😂

[@hayaarish8408]

Please tell some tips which doesn't include a lot of products.

[@evelynbarragan9788]

I want to try the denman brush but I have wavy hair and I’m afraid that if I use it it won’t work and just make my hair straighter since it’s meant for curly hair not wavy

[@sajae8654]

5:59 she said you can use it no matter what your hair type is so it should be safe for you to use it

[@GenaMarie]

Yep! You just have to angle the brush how I showed in the video, and twist your wrist around so the hair wraps around the edge of the brush as you pull down the strand. That’s what gives it the ringlet. You may not get actual ringlets since your texture is looser, but it will give it more wave.

[@longyarn4288]

I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of other wavy KZbinr's use the Denman brush, and they got good results. You'll want to check and make sure, but I believe if you buy it from ULTA and you keep your receipt, if it doesn't work for you then you can take it back, but I got one of the small ones like she had from Amazon and it wasn't that expensive. You can always give it to a little girl to use on her dollies if it's too much of a hassle to return but you wanted to try it. 🙄 🤷‍♀️

[@irairod5160]

I have wavy hair, 2a to 2c, and the Denman brush helps me create ringlets and train my curls to clump together. Check the videos by "A Little Bit Lisa", Alissa Evelyn, Zoey673, Jannelle O'Shaughnessy...

[@cland1232]

I was afraid of the Denman, too. If you re-wet yr hair & yr curls will come back!

[@AS-pn5zl]

You look so much younger without all the eyeliner!
