My name is Dana and I make curly hair videos to help embrace your natural curly or wavy texture. Here you'll find curly / wavy hair routines, product reviews, first impressions, lifestyle content, and more! I hope you stick around :)

[@coolfunsunflower1692]

I do this too! If you want a looser wave, try brushing out your hair after it's dry and then adding a light cream or leave in conditioner and put just a small amount in your hair. Brush it smooth again, and then do the twist/braid! Just a little tip! I do it all the time and it's so much looser than my natural curl pattern!

[@DanaGagliotti]

good idea, I'll have to give this a shot! Thank you!!

[@aphrodite8133]

WhittBeyondMeasure do you have to keep the braid overnight ?

[@nelly4760]

Thanks! I randomly discovered this earlier when I was bored haha.

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

HAHAHAHAHHAHA MINE WOULD POOF UP IF I EVER TRIED TO BRUSH IT DRY

[@daisy-qm2tl]

Shes so naturally gorgeous omg

[@melissabautista146]

I love your vibe! Not that fake happy/wannabe funny. I find other youtubers exhausting because they try to hard which usually makes it hard to get actual good info with the exception of names by mell

[@lillu2491]

I hope this works for me, ive tried so many different stretch routines but my the end of the day my hair is just a big ball of frizz.

[@angelhoegarden]

Did it worked?

[@katherinemargeson8082]

lylah dee Start with soaking wet hair, Add leave in conditioner (I like Curls Blueberry, Kinky Curly leave in, and Alaffia Coconut Hair Lotion next add a small your styling cream. Depending on your hair type, you may need a lighter hair milk like John Masters or Curls Blueberry or a stronger pudding like Camille Rose Jansyn. Spray hate again if it’s getting dry. Add your gel. I like Camille Rose Curl Maker, Kinky Curly Curling Custard. Curl Keeper Gel and Eco Styler are also popular. If you don’t like gel, try the LOC method. Leave in, oil, cream styler You can get a ready made oil, or you can create your own. Rosehip Seed Oil Mixed with a bit of Argan, grape seed,, or fractionated coconut and add a few drops of your fave scented oil. Orange adds some shine. NaturallyCurly.com has rated and organized hundreds of products products for different types of Curl texture.

[@Em22214]

Katherine Margeson thank you!

[@madhuryamaa]

Just did this recently and absolutely loved the results. I used Kinky Curly leave in and their curling custard to smoothe my hair out the next day. Yes, my curl pattern did creep up a bit, but my curls were stretched, larger, and wavier. It took less than 5 min to style in the morning, and the next day refresh was just as easy and beautiful. Thank you for this hack!

[@bobbieditcharo-roland608]

This is so pretty. Love the wavy look. Please do more of these type videos. You look so awesome by the way!

[@DanaGagliotti]

thank you! I will keep testing out different methods and products for wavy styles and be sure to pass anything along :)

[@carlacaba1944]

I'm so glad we have similar hair. Makes everything easier

[@thecynthesizerrr]

love this technique, definitely trying it out. you look like a renaissance painting :)

[@Noonerz455]

You're ridiculously pretty!

[@irmalair1]

What I do: PART 1 - Apply some product after showering on semi wet hair. - Brush it with a regular brush - Put it in a tight bun in top of head then go to sleep. PART 2 - Next day open the bun, and wet hair a little if completely dry - Apply a tiny bit of product on hands for easy handling - Hand-comb my hair down - Put it in a tight low bun and leave to dry Repeat Part 2 as needed. Seems long but all the steps take very little time and become almost automatic 🤗

[@irmalair1]

@lilac skies Let me know if you try it 😘

[@r0o001]

Omg I do exactly the same 🙀

[@xtraceyy]

I've been wearing my hair in a side braid like that just as a style on its own. I find it really pretty for summer. Bonus that it creates pretty waves too :D

[@serenesowilam4309]

My hair is sooooo curly and I really don’t like it and I don’t know how to take care of it because I’m the only one with such curly hair in my family. I wish it was wavy or even straight. I tried protein and keratin treatments but it didn’t help because it grew back ever curlier😔 someone help me out

[@Dez112]

Just be patient and learn how to take care of it. There are many videos you can watch. Most importantly, always use conditioner. If you can not detangle it, add more conditioner. Decide whether you like to detangle with a brush, a comb, or your fingers. Some people do a combination of both. I prefer my fingers because I can easily feel the tangles, and get rid of them. Also, take your time. Having patience is the number one factor for curly hair. Also, embrace the frizz. It happens to the best of us. It comes with the hair. So, why not embrace it? If you don't like frizz, try products like gels, puddings, and mousses to reduce it. You just need to research and go through trials and error. You will get it eventually. KZbin has many videos that can help you.

I want your hair 😭😭😭 its naturally in perfect bouncy ringlets but you can make it more wavy if you want to and you can obviously straighten it and it's long and thick, I wish I had your hair

I've literally been searching for months and haven't come across anything either haha. glad I could help!

[@MegaBrenda714]

I love this! What a great idea. You look so pretty. Can you show your length, it looks like it really has grown. I'm trying to grow my hair out longer, I'm so impatient! Thanks Dana!

[@ninammalone]

Do you brush your hair in the shower? Cause that is the only way I can see myself getting clumps in my wet hair. Great tutorial!

[@maisiebadham2773]

Your hair dries beautifully 🥺

[@0DeathWish0]

I would love to see you try out the new devacurl super stretch curl elongater when it releases soon since you did this video!

[@juliaarnold1078]

You should grab your hair in 2-3 sections and twist it around your fingers to remove excess water then drop it and leave it to dry that's what I do. M y curl pattern is pretty similar to yours except the crown area of mine is a little looser and the area around the nape of my neck has really tight curls. You could also put a large perm rod at the end of your braids to make it more bouncy :)

[@DanteVelasquez]

Nice. You should try using the hair donut method as well, gives big loose waves like a blowout. I like how you sweep​ one side over and join it with the other. I will try that. also, spritzing your hair with a little water after you braid it helps the waves set a little better and definitely full dries by the next day :-)

[@andreavalentinaperez2734]

Dante i lub your hairr

[@adrianalewis2838]

The high porosity mask is amaazziingg😍if u do a cold rinse right before you get out with it it makes your hair so shiny

[@elouis364]

I hope i can achieve the looseness of your hair even before styling, my hair is really coily and creates the spring-like pattern when they dry which creates extreme shrinkage 😩

[@toi_let954]

will this work for 3c/3b?

How long is your hair these days?! It seems like it grows so fast 😱😍

[@haniakhaled5738]

i really needed this

[@katherinemargeson8082]

Great information! To avoid marks in the end, roll hair over a bobby pin or foam roller. A bit of styling cream and/or a drier oil like rosehip seed mixed with argan really helps. John Masters shine product is also a great all in one.

[@darrylsniece36]

Super helpful! I can’t wait to try this 😊

[@alaasalah5882]

I also do six regular braids and it works very well with me. Braids do stretch curly hair 👍

[@ameerahiro7261]

I don't know if it's just me, but why do people say that their hair takes hours to dry? Mine takes 5-10 minutes maximum.

[@BeautyGurl011]

Ameera Hiro usually with thicker hair, and curly hair, it takes much longer. my hair is thick and curly and sometimes it's not even dry when i wake up in the morning lol 😂

[@shilowfa5391]

Different hair takes different amounts of time to dry :)

[@Annamoon14]

I think you have high porosity hair.

[@user-hr3xg2cz7p]

I really want this to work! 💗💗💗

[@katherinemargeson8082]

Good tips! I’ve had better luck using 2 braids and Kinky Curly Knot Today leave in followed by Deva curl gel mixed with Kinky Curly Curling Custard. Using John Masters Shine is also a great finisher. What do you do to avoid having totally straight or dented pieces at the end? Even with a non-dent hair tie, this is a problem.

[@keishav6630]

❤ Love the waves!

[@leylarustamova]

I don't know if you watch this show or not, but there is an actress on "The Originals", Phoebe Tonkin (she's an aussie btw) and her hair is incredible especially on the show. She used to have thick waves but after growing up and moving to the US her hair loosened up. Maybe you could heartlessly recreate her chunky wavy voluminised hair? Back when I didn't know how to care for my curls, what I did after showering was do a side part and put my hair in a braid or bun and take it out the morning and it would look similar to Phoebe's. Your hair is amazing and 50 times healthier than mine, maybe you could try that for your next video? I think it will look amazing on you

[@flochery6894]

Hi FYI, you mentioned “French or Dutch braiding” but only using 2 strands. What you did is called flat twist.

[@nicole_roma]

A couple questions. My hair is curly but maybe 3 inches shorter, will this work for me? I have to let it dry completely before braiding? Do I have to brush it when it's soaking wet with a tangle teaser or just leave as is? Can I use oil the next day to calm the poofiness? Thanks love.

[@nicole_roma]

Hello?

[@eve7529]

Nicole M well i mean she shows what she’s doing in the video and if using oil works for you then use oil

[@waterlily9349]

Hi, I like this video; I am going to try this tomorrow! I see people recommending silk pillowcases. I went to buy one, but all I found was satin. Should I return it and order silk on line?

No matter what I try, I still look like Bob Ross.

[@SerrasVictoria]

Omg, same 😂

[@jennifers2534]

[@106andie]

I'm definitely going to try this but am gonna do smaller twists all over since I have shorter hair. Great video! Do you have high porosity hair?

[@DanaGagliotti]

Based on what I read I'm pretty sure I do, although there are a few characteristics I don't match up with :)

[@106andie]

I think I have high porosity too but don't see a lot of people on KZbin who do so I'm glad someone is.

[@Mina-rb5ut]

These look like Olivia Cranes curls in The Haunting on Netflix’s. Thanks so much!

[@alliekoehler189]

I do something similar to this too! but my problem with this is that if I do this before work, by the time I get to work my curls or waves have lost all definition and are all like frizzy/poofy ): like I ran a brush through it before I got to work, any tips on how to calm that?

[@bratbabypolarass4961]

[@xLittleChaosx423]

I don't own any satin pillow or scarf, but I do have a deva curl towel. Would it do the same thing as the satin pillow if I put the towel on my regular pillow and sleep on it?

[@DanaGagliotti]

yes just as Rasha said, the satin/silk causes minimal friction to help with frizz and tangles. Although the deva towel is awesome for absorbing excess water I wouldn't recommend sleeping on it. Check out amazon, they have some really affordable options :)

[@XFiorentti]

Folks please remember that curly hair comes in two textures. Soft and coarse. This girl although she likes to call her hair curly, it is NOT by far. Her hair type is soft tight waves. She is right about the fact that the hair product is really great for those who have tight wavy hair and soft textured curly hair. However, for those of us who have soft tight curls please mix the conditioner for this product with mouse and let it dry naturally. You don't need to do too much

[@DanaGagliotti]

XFiorentti you are right about curly texture varying but those 2 things are not mutually exclusive. My hair is curly with a soft texture

[@XFiorentti]

@@DanaGagliotti hi Dana I'm going to have to disagree with you 100%. Your hair is a tight wavy soft texture. As a Latina who has battled with my soft curly locks all my life your hair would never be considered soft curly and anyone who grew up like me with curly hair would also agree that you have soft tight wavy hair not curly. Sorry but I'm not trying to be combative but just honest.
