HOW TO REFRESH YOUR CURLS IN FIVE SIMPLE STEPS!

[@TheFitCurls]

A COUPLE THINGS: 1. Forgot to mention - if your curls need moisture instead of hold, try adding a bit of curl cream, hair milk, or leave-in conditioner instead of gel! 2. Try to steam up to 2 minutes total only - any longer and you might get more of a caught-in-the-rain vibe! How do YOU refresh your Day 3+ curls? Have you tried any of the techniques I shared here?

[@djdingwall1]

I read this comment a little too late. This morning I needed moisture and instead I added some gel after I steamed my hair a bit for the first time. Oh well, live and learn there are other days ahead to try something different.

Girl! I watched this early this morning and suddenly remembered I have one of those steamers and have forgotten about it. Game changer on my curls! Genius! Not only that, you saved me from ironing! 😆 I really love your content and think you're the best curly girl on KZbin! It's probably been 6-8weeks that I've been following the CG method and my results are already amazing! I'm a bit bummed that I followed bad advice several months ago and cut my long hair, but at least I'm working with healthy hair. It just doesn't feel like it's grown now that my curls are forming! Not a bad thing! Also, did you know Sally now carries a hair color line for curly girls? I am not ready to go gray yet, but don't want to undo my progress. All about curls, combined with an additional pre poo treatment and a deep conditioning and my curls are unscathed!

Just want to thank you for teaching this 56 year old girl to FINALLY be able to handle and style her 2b/c/3a combination curls. Love watching your various videos with techniques and styling product advice. Waiting for my Denman brush to arrive in the mail 😉. I'm also doing the grey grow out thing which further complicates the matter with HUGE demarcation as I'm quite white and going from dyed brown. Yikes! But I'm all in! Thanks again and keep the videos coming. 🙂

[@TheFitCurls]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for saying this!!!! I’m so glad to help and thrilled to have you in the Fit Curls Family 💛 if the grey grow out is kinda getting you down, it may be worth talking to your stylist about blending it down to ease the process! Best of luck on your journey and keep me posted xxx

[@wearmath8064]

@@TheFitCurls on another note.... I'm terrified to use a steamers on my hair on a refresh day...... envisioning a frizzy nightmare! 😬😬

[@judylinke]

57 to young to embrace the gray curly girl here! Sally's now carries a coloring brand for us CGs! It's called All About Curls and comes with a pre color treatment. I also did a hot oil treatment before that and then a deep conditioning treatment in the shower after shampooing and rinsing out the color. My curls are unscathed! I've only discovered this CG method a couple of months ago, have the same curl types as you though they're definitely getting curlier! I'm blown away!

[@cthornton523]

My hair changed in 2014, I list a bunch if weight too quickly and kablaam! Went from 3A to 4A curls. Been struggling ever since. I contemplate shaving my head at least 3xs/wk. Videos like this are a big help.

[@laurenwilliams4949]

Thank you soooo much for your videos. I am the only girl in my family with curls, so most of my life I wore my hair in a bun...😢. Now I am so much more confident to wear my hair down!!

[@breezy8338]

FINALLLLYYYY someone with my curl pattern AND hair texture. Thank you for all your videos!!!!

[@melissas717]

Thank you for sharing. I have been trying to figure out the best way to care for my daughter's curls.

[@cazzygoldsmith6181]

Just started embracing my waves and curls and was recommended one of your videos. I love all of what I've seen.

[@ashleyhagley6361]

Never in my life have I considered using humidity in my favour. THANK YOU!

[@TheFitCurls]

My pleasure!! Sometimes we gotta try something that feels strange to find what works, ya know? xx

[@johannalazarski9858]

Steamer totally works to refresh!

[@gerickson9552]

Super informative. Very clearly delivered. Really appreciate how you explained everything and why you did it. Might have to get one of those portable steamers! So far I’ve just been soaking it nearly everyday with a spray bottle. Wonder how steaming might be different. Thanks so much for all your efforts!

[@TheFitCurls]

Thank you!! I hope steam works as well for you as it does for me :) xx

[@JamieRMorgan]

Hi! I just tried this technique on day 2 hair and it’s great. I never would have thought of the steamer! I’m still struggling with a halo of frizz on the top of my head though. What do you do for frizz control? I also have 2c/3a curls, although they lean more 3a. Your lack of frizz is amazing! Would love any tips.

[@micaro84]

Would love to see you try the top down method from type of beautiful!

[@TheFitCurls]

Thanks for the suggestion! I looooove her curls so I’m totally down to try her method!

Miss you beautiful ❤❤❤ We still watch and need your well trained self to help us. Jonathan

I'm 50 years old and have been fighting to keep curl in my hair for 10 years!! (the previous 40 years were curl-licious) I am sooooo excited to try your methods as your curl looks similar to mine on some of my head. :) Can you tell me what shampoo/conditioner you use? I've just bought the LUS package & am anxiously waiting delivery, but wanted to see what you use. Thank you so much for these posts!!!

[@judylinke]

LUS is what lead me to discover the CG method (I'm 57!!!) and changed everything for me! Watch her video review on LUS. It helped me a lot! It's a great product, but it wasn't lasting. Turns out, I need protein (seriously, I've never even heard of that before!) In searching for products with protein, I discovered I don't need to spend all that money on expensive products to get great results, which is good for me because I'm disabled and really can't afford to keep buying that. Also, I cannot give up coloring my hair. I'm too young to embrace the gray. Sally's carries a color line All About Curls. Fabulous and a lot cheaper than the salon!

[@Im4u169]

Lovely!

[@curlydi6677]

I go swimming every morning. Any tips on how to protect my curls from nasty chlorine

[@shallowwaters6690]

Wow! My refresh looks very similar to yours. I’m so excited to see the little details that you do differently. I always love your hair!

[@TheFitCurls]

Thank you!! I hope you found a tip or two you love! xx

[@djdingwall1]

I’m new here. What a good idea to steam your hair instead of spraying it with a fine mist of water. I’m looking forward to any other tips you have to share.

[@TheFitCurls]

Thank you so much - welcome to the Fit Curls Family!! xx

[@djdingwall1]

@@TheFitCurls Thank you very much😊

[@jayhulrs1435]

Wow!! So cool! My hair gets so frizzy when I wet it

[@2brunhilda]

Wow , steamer is interesting

[@VengefulAngeI]

Question regarding the steamer: been wanting to get one for refreshing, but feel nervous about it due to living in FL, & humidity is already SO high, I can't help but wonder if that will somehow affect results? Maybe that sounds dumb, lol, but I worry I'll hit some humidity threshold, and that leaving my house after using steam will just be too much. This sounds way dumber now that I'm writing it out 🤣

[@katb5629]

The crying at the end is me. Every single time I wash my hair & try to style it. Thanks for this video, I was doing most of the "don'ts"!

[@shariperlman3750]

Your curls are gorgeous! Yes to clothes steamers. I will purchase distilled water for it. Have you thought about the Q Redew Hair steamer? It has finger like prongs...

[@TheFitCurls]

Thank you!! I actually hadn’t heard of that hair steamer - I’ll have to look into it! xx

[@cathierosser6202]

Hi Angela! I love all your content. After 2 bonnets and a few buffs that fall off during the night I'm going to try the bonnet you suggested. What size did you get, medium or extra large? The ones I have don't let me bring my hair all the way above because they're way too small haha Looking forward to trying the new top to bottom method in your latest video!!

[@TheFitCurls]

In that Yanibest bonnet I got a large :)

[@finecurls2291]

I'm struggling with my curl pattern. It's loose and lacks shape. What do you recommend?

[@Serve24]

What about when you take a shower? I feel like even with a hair cap, it’s still gets frizzy

[@KathyMasci]

Just found you! How do you keep the front top of your hair from falling forward? What kind of cut do you get? Do you have lots of layers?

[@TheFitCurls]

I do my own haircut 😅 and I go for round layers! Longer in the back than the front with a nice rounded graduation :) and I’ll be showing you guys a trick for keeping your hair out of your eyes very soon!

[@kivamuskopf7051]

So.....I know there are different types of curls...but when my hair is exposed to outdoor humidity or shower humidity it totally frizzes!!!! EEEK! Will using the clothes steamer still work for me!?!?

[@myhusbandisbetterthandarcy9821]

Please please tell me how one can add all of these products (day 1 styling) and go beyond day one? 😩😩😩

[@TheFitCurls]

Check out my Curl Styling Tutorials playlist for how I do my wash days, and stretching your style is all about gentle refreshes as needed and, above all, sleep protection!!

[@hannahw2697]

I’m currently somebody who has shampooed her hair everyday…how do you go so many days without shampoo? My hair looks like it could cook eggs the next day lol

[@TheFitCurls]

Great image 🤣 I showered every day for a long time until I started performing after college. If you deal with an oily scalp, try using a little dry shampoo at the roots on day 2 & 3! Finding the right products & ingredients for your hair will help too. I still shampoo my hair twice a week, and I’ll often do a double cleanse when I do!

[@dale3404]

I wish my hair would look like this. It just wants to separate into small pieces. I can’t even call them clumps.

[@shebear6367]

👍🏼

[@wearmath8064]

I'm shocked that using a steamer wouldn't create massive frizz! I'm terrified to try this. 😆

[@TheFitCurls]

I was surprised too! But as long as you keep the time you steam under 2 minutes and seal the results with a good serum (oh hey, step 5!) you’ll be golden 👌🏻👍🏻

[@Irishrainy]

@@TheFitCurls I tried this once and didn’t have the greatest result. I have the same clothes steamer so I’ll give it another try using your method. However, I think you have low porosity hair because it’s so shiny and you can run your fingers through it. My hair is high porosity and super fine and if I try to run my fingers through it, I end up with frizz and my 3a curls get tangled. 🤬

[@TheFitCurls]

@@Irishrainy Oh trust me, you should see it in the shower without product - soaked immediately, starts drying as soon as I take my head out of the water, and tangled as all hell! The products and methods I use help to lock moisture in to my cortex and seal the cuticle. Plus the lighting helps with the shine 😆 I hope this works for you as well as it works for me!! And if it doesn’t, keep experimenting to find what works best for your curls! xx

[@NoName-yc4ts]

Butttttt howwwww???? My starting point is soooooo frizzzzzzyyyyyyy it almost looks like I brushed it in the night! I feel like NOTHING fixes it!

[@TheFitCurls]

Sleep protection changed EVERYTHING for me! If you don’t have a satin/silk bonnet and/or pillowcase, now is the time to invest! If all else fails, sometimes a full wet or damp refresh is the way to go. Hope this helps! xx

[@shebear6367]

Why can’t I see the other comments here?

[@PearlBun]

I'm the same way when getting a "small pump" lol!! Edit: auto-correct messed me up

[@TheFitCurls]

That was a Texas-sized pump for sure 🤣
