I TRIED INDIA BATSON'S HAIR ROUTINE!!!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you so much for watching this video! Tell me, what do you think about how this washday turned out? My goodness I sure loved it!

[@katebowes1]

Hi I always watch your videos, I been doing CGM for nearly s year and I really wanna stick with it but I’ve noticed my hair is hugely thinner than before I started, it’s getting really bad, I remember seeing a video of yours a while ago saying ‘is the CGM making my hair fall out’ I wondered If it got better, I’m so close to giving up but I really don’t want to 😔 xxx

[@katebowes1]

I love it, I’ve never damp styled cause my hair is so frizzy and also when I scrunch it causes frizz, but your hair turned out beautiful I’m literally gonna do it now xxx

[@annareid7816]

I think that this is one of my favorite washdays you have done, in terms of how it looks.

[@narayaniji8699]

Hi Swavy, You're fantastic and I love your videos, but it would be wonderful if people in the curly girl community didn't promote products with known carcinogens in them that are also bad for the environment and wildlife after it washes down the drain. The CurlTalk gel has PLASTIC in it, not to mention artificial fragrance that may also be carcinogenic. The ingredient "Acrylates/C10 30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer" is a petrochemical. That brand needs to clean up their act! I'm hoping we women can demand these corporations make healthier products for us, and not push us into cancer risk territory. Let's find beautifying products that are truly natural and not green-washed.

[@ElizabethDohertyThomas]

SOOO timely! I'm only about two weeks into learning about my curls and it's you and India as my only subscribed teachers!! I think I'm curious how you feel your results diff with this method and if it'll alter anything you do. :-)

[@indiabatson26]

I’m currently on my honeymoon and don’t have strong enough WiFi to watch KZbin videos, but I can’t wait to watch this when I get home😻💛 I’m honored !!!!

[@calina6120]

Yes can you please try Courtney’s routine!!

[@andreasmith8213]

Congrats on your nuptials!! Have a superb time!!!

[@erinames7783]

Congrats India! You were absolutely gorgeous in the photos you shared!

[@bitsofpolish]

[@sadiemcc9363]

We need India to try your routine now.

Right?!

That would be so fun!

[@mariatahir2789]

Being a wavy myself, you and India have been my go-to for advices. Lots of love to both of you ❤️

[@motidda345]

Fun fact: Playa means beach in Spanish! So it’s like a beachy waves sea salt spray! So excited to see this, I also am always trying to achieve India’s volume and bounce!

[@annermack]

I love that you tried someone else's routine! I think it is good to see someone trying multiple different ways and seeing how that person's hair responds. One of ManesbyMel would be awesome!

[@monas.6839]

Ann Weissinger or Mel’s seester!

[@annermack]

@@monas.6839 yes! That would be awesome.

[@brittneyesser9479]

My daughter was very confused as to why you have clothes on in the shower. HAHA! The innocence of a 3-year-old.

[@peachtea1890]

I wanna see you do curly cailin's "full wash day routine for maximum volume-curly hair" video she posted about 4 months ago. PLEASE!!! 😊❤

[@kellydowell3050]

Have great time with your hair curly

[@mls3555]

GORGEOUS!!! Seems like you may have a finer texture than India just by how shiny (beautiful & healthy) your hair looks. Thanks for showing us that India's method WORKS for you too!!! I think your hair looks MORE voluminous using this method; seems like a time saver too!!

[@zoesmullen6849]

Courtney Ive been having terrible trouble with my scalp showing while doing the CGM because of how thin and fine my hair is. I had to choose between awesome curls but scalp showing or a frizzy mess and no scalp showing, denman styling was the only way to hide my scalp but it just left the curls/waves looking crap. I just tried this after watching your video and I'm absolutely over the moon with my hair! Thanks so much to you and India. This will be my hairstyle from now on 🤗

[@lori6411]

Omg same here with the scalp trouble! I was afraid I was going bald all of a sudden. 😱😭 will try this routine & see if it helps.

[@jou2166]

Alopecia is a gut problem..wormout with wormworm and take one pill of acidophilus....improve your diet ..eat real food ..fresh meats fish salads and fruits and a little rice..take multivitamin..drink an apple cider vinegar tablet.. and real olive oil

[@Dr_Ebtesam]

Check Gena marrie channel, she has has mating techniques for her low density coarse hair

[@keiras13]

oh my goodness, both y'all are so pretty and have such beautiful hair!! You guys have such different beauty, but ugh, you're so prettyyyy!! Also, I've been meaning to say this for so long on your channel but never did, but speaking of beauty, you're sooo gorgeous without makeup!!

[@christifarris3334]

I LOVE how your eyes pop with that color t shirt!

[@marissaharrison9418]

I think the sea salt sprays make a big difference. I almost always use one, adds texture and definition. Glad to see you tried one!

[@amym.5960]

@@christinaobert5664 Same!

[@adamsgeckos7165]

I love your shower girl. Your videos helped me a lot with embracing my waves/curls, only started my CG journey properly 2 weeks ago and it's all thanks to your channel.

[@CurliesCuriosites]

How about manes by mell?!

[@michelleyoung4918]

I love her but most of her advice is for a curlier hair type. She recently did do her cousins hair that they thought was straight but turns out they had wavy hair!

[@keiras13]

I love her a lot, and I don't follow the curly girl method, and neither does she. But a lot of people on this channel follow the cgm, so mell isn't the best. Mell uses sulfates and silicones, so Courtney wouldn't do a video. BUT I REALLY REALLY LOVE HER TOO!!

[@aromarose4133]

@ Keira Kate and Michelle Young she actually has a really interesting wavy tutorial with the denman brush on her cousins and it looks great on them! Also, even though Mell isn’t CG, she has been making a switch in products lately to more natural and cg options! I’m sure she can recommend some good ones to Courtney. I really hope she tries Mell’s rutine!

[@squid958]

The most recent routine I've tried it is Type of Beautiful " Top down curls method" and wow I'm on day 3 and my hair is still defined and my clumpage is crazy good. Please try it my hair barely makes it to day 3 but after trying her routine. I'm fallen in love with my hair!

[@Lisa-cs2pz]

Looks great! Is it weird that it seemed so strange to see you in the shower right side up? I am so used to seeing you bent over your tub!!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Buahaha! I kinda felt weird with the different filming set up. I'm glad I was not the only one it seemed different to! haha

[@4EClark]

I have severe issues with my neck and I could not do the completely upside down in the shower and drying and styling. This up right one would be how I would do it. Glad to see you in a video. Thank you

[@oliviashafer1435]

India loves NYM deep conditioning and masques. Thanks to her I love NYM apple masque and blood orange masque.

Where is your swimsuit top from? I love the “cropped tankini” style but have such a hard time finding ones I like!

[@leanne5162]

I was going to ask the same thing! :)

[@rachelloflin8625]

Yes! It's so cute!

[@courtneyallen9652]

I was wanting to know this too!!!!

[@courtneyallen9652]

@swavycurlycourtney

[@SoulfulSerenity-888]

ManesbyMel please. I feel like India is a wonderful person but she's heavily sponsored by NYM...ever since she dropped Deva. I own the entire NYM line and its just not my jam. It tends to leave white flakes and residue all over. Plus my hair doesn't last longer than 4 hours.

[@elizabethspecht9585]

What is nym?

[@SaraKalla]

Elizabeth Specht Not Your Mother’s products

[@marymary1083]

Yessss, same thing it does to my hair. I have really hoped it workout because the prices and the ingredients are good ....however the residue Nope 👎🏽 I’m done with that mess

[@Amy-sk6bi]

Ugh, that's what's causing my issue. Thanks for the info.

[@owainh1347]

She still loves the products regardless of being sponsored by them it isn’t her fault if she likes them and they don’t work for you.

[@monas.6839]

Your hair looks very pretty here, but my favorite so far is when you used the Curlsmith In Shower Fixer. 💜

[@fabiofredregis]

Like it is crazy to me how shiny your curls and waves are mine are always dull and I have really dark hair. You lucky lady!!!

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Sea salt spray makes my hair insanely curly, like going from 2b/2c up to 3b-3c spirals. I love it! Just wish the salt was not so drying.

[@jenniferzapienn8004]

What sea salt spray do use? because I find the one that I have makes my hair feel sticky

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Jennifer Zapienn I make mine at home. Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon epsom salt in 1 cup hot distilled water. Let cool. Pour into a spray bottle. Add 10 drops lavender essential oil for a nice scent. Spray generously all over. Scrunch well. Let dry. It dries stiff. Don’t panic. Scrunch well again until the stiffness is gone. Might try 1/4 teaspoon next time since it is quite drying. Only tried it with epsom salt so far. Can use Himalayan Sea Salt. Not regular salt.

[@jenniferzapienn8004]

Lily_of_the_Forest Thank you for replying to my comment, I’ll have to try out the recipe.

[@loracampbell1433]

Love the way it came out! I think India is pretty, but you are so natural and real. That’s what I love most about watching your videos.

[@susan4916]

It turned out great! Been doing Curly for over a year and Not Your Mothers original shampoo should be a staple for everyone. I like to use when I want my curls to last a long time, 3-day weekend trips to 5-6 day trips. It sets the curls better. Maui products are also a staple, no matter what products everyone reviews we all use Maui! Quantity depends on hair volume. I have shorter hair so never use the handfuls that long haired girls need. Use what YOU need. Even though I have my routine down, still watch new vids now + then.

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Thanks for your input. It helps🥳

[@melissasell307]

How did your waves hold up by the end of the day/day 2, 3 etc

[@Marie-ut4ht]

I'm on month 7 or so and I'm finally starting to have a more consistent wave pattern. Your videos have helped me a lot! I used to put heat on some parts of my hair almost every day so I still have some heat damage in some areas even though I chopped it, but I'm excited because I know it can only get better from here!

[@freshyyish]

i really like the way your hair turned out! you definitely have some Batson vibes in your waves. good vid.

[@abbystapleton7911]

You should try Manes by Mell hair routine!

[@elisabethochoa1125]

Can’t stop staring at your hairs SHINEEEEEEEEE WOWWWWWWWW GIRLLLLLLLL

[@jessicaaverette6150]

Oh My Goodness! My two favorite KZbinrs!!!! Love this!!

[@lisajordan4368]

I've been trying right side up styling for a couple weeks now and it seems to work out so great for me. Now I'm excited to try damp styling next wash day. Great video and great results! Beautiful!

[@oliviashafer1435]

I love India! Her mom is really cool too!

[@hollyrobinson8719]

Great results! Any recommendations for thin, fine curls?

[@susandavis8109]

I LOVE how this turned out. I'm a newbie -- literally only weeks into this process and I so enjoy your videos. I have to tell you that as a sixty-year-old woman I am constantly amused by you. I wanted you to know that you probably have a really varied audience. I just love you, and your approach and your attitude and your candor. Believe me, it was hard news to bear to discover that my hair may take as long as 6 or more months to really reveal it's wavy/curly structure. I will persevere. Thanks for the support and guidance.

[@ramborenegadephantom9434]

6 months later, how we doing?🙏

[@dozeymare6857]

Could you try curly penny's routine, u think it would turn out great

[@calina6120]

Yessss a crossover of my two favorite wavy hair influencers!! And I love how it turned out on you, I think you should style this way more often!

[@oliviashafer1435]

I was always told to apply deep conditioners after shampooing. No rinse out conditioners between shampoo and deep conditioner because rinse out conditioners can leave oils and butters in your hair. Making the deep conditioner not penetrate as good into strands.

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Ok! I’m gonna do it! Thank you so much. It really helps to see someone copy India because it proves it works! 💕

[@megane6717]

So pretty! I noticed though that you didn’t squish to condish? Any reason you didn’t?

[@thendrix58]

You have such beautiful, shiny, healthy looking hair, so I believe that any routine you try would come out lovely!

[@puggirl415]

Wow that's a lot of moisture. My hair is high porosity wavy 2b-3a and if I used conditioner, masks and rinse with cold water I would have greasy stringy curls. It would be ok because each day I find my hair gets drier and drier but it is a terrible disappointment to have such lackluster curls on day 1/day 2 that it only happens occasionally. Hopefully the protein in the mask will help balance all that moisture.

[@CindyHolman]

I love following India!!

[@jflo2012]

Your hair turned out so pretty! So you used the protein/moisture treatment and rinsed it out immediately? Does it have time to work that way? I think I would do it more often if I knew it would benefit my hair even if I didn’t leave it on the usual 20-30 min. Thank you.

[@hayleeblack6639]

So beautiful. Your curls turned out great! I’m totally doing this! I absolutely am in love with the Sally’s value brand conditioner balm. It’s heaven. And I can’t believe I’ve never heard of mixing the masks before. That’s a fantastic idea.

[@lindaferrill1897]

I love curly hair so I get Perms, and my hair is not damaged, dry or frizzy. Perms now days are a lot gentler on hair.

[@adriannajauregui8816]

Manes By Mel she is the CURL QUEEN EXPERT!!!!

[@mel8970]

Your hair looked beautiful. Did you rinse out the mask and if you did what was the next step

[@Artnadhd]

How funny I recently started taking tips from her hair routine lol. I’ve tried to brush style soooo many times and her hair routine made me realize that my hair wants to clump naturally and the brush breaks them up

[@BlackLabMama]

Courtney, have you used the GVP Conditioning Balm since this wash day? When you added all that conditioner, plus a bit of two masks...I thought it would weigh your hair down. I used that balm recently, but once I diffused, my hair was so frizzy and lacked definition. :(

[@caroleannereimer6190]

I have a question. How do I get my hair to not be stringy?? I use hydrating products. I’ve tired putting product in my hair when it’s soaking wet. I’ve tried it once I squeeze some of the water out I just curl shampoo and conditioner. I’ve tried using gel not using gel. Nothing is working. My hair is sooo dry at the end of it. It looks dull and feels like straw. Pleaseeee help. I’m about to give up and go back to blow drying and curling my hair 😂😭 Also I love both of yalls channels and have been my go to for curly hair videos! I’m new to all this and you have really helped!!

[@rebeccacassanto7122]

Love it ! I think it would be pretty awesome and maybe a little bit funny if you tried the Laura Method. The one with handfuls of leave in and gel. Lol.

[@marjolijnkooistra7709]

Two of my curly idols in one!

[@ruddyannsierra482]

Needed to see this! I tried plopping vs damp styling and I feel that the latter works better for me. Also I’m lazy so I need the fastest method 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@SwavyBlonde]

Love it! I wanted to try India's routine for quite some time because I think my hair is very similar to her's. But I couldn't really find her routine anywhere from the beginning to the end. So thank you, I will try it out now. As for your next video, India tried Spisha's routine and I would love you to try it too. You can find it on India's channel.

[@emisully4468]

I see a lot of people have already said ManesByMel and I agree! Her curl pattern is way tighter than yours is so idk how that'd work, but she did a video styling her cousins' wavy hair and they turned out great.

[@danielamacavei]

Love your videos and loved this one 🥰 . I have a question about the mask. How long did you keep it on the hair? I know that masks work well only if kept for at least 5 minutes on the hair, but curlies say between 15 and 30 mins. How much time do you keep it? I rarely use masks because I don't have time to keep it on.

[@celesteleprevost9714]

I tried this wash day! It was amazing!! I have been doing curly girl for 3 months and was about to give it up. Today I was so happy with how everything came out. Thank you for sharing!

[@lisas8542]

I LOVE how your hair turned out! Y'all are two of my favorites!! I know India loves that beach spray, so I've really been wanting to try it :)

[@hanmat3427]

Love it!! Turned out great👍 my hair is finally done transitioning and I am getting pretty hair now 😍

[@michelleyoung4918]

I’ve been doing a modified cgm ( I don’t follow all the rules) for close to a year and a half but it seems like every season change I have to use different products to keep getting good results.

[@myname_1974]

nice! ever since i watched your damp style video...where you style the next day, i have been doing that ever since. i have similar waves to you and find my hair defines much more when i don't apply styling products to soaking hair. i was very frustrated with CGM bc of this until i saw your damp style video. i think soaking wet styling just leaves too much moisture and weighs the curls/waves down before they get a chance to really get set. this method worked great for you!

[@slaterson9986]

Did you mention that the conditioner you used was the off name brand version of Matrix Biolage Hydrasource Conditioning Balm? If yes, are the ingredients safe for CG or mostly and is it moisturizing or a protein conditioner? Thanks!

[@kayleighjohnson3612]

I love it! Too bad nothing works for me.. my hair gets so mad if I do anything but comb it once and carefully apply products. I get wet friz sooooo badly and lose my curls if I touch it too much!

[@jessicamcguiggan2325]

Wow now i really want to try the products you used I have been using not your mothers but I haven’t tried hair masks yet! How long do you leave the hair mask on for?

[@iDmple]

Hi Courtney! I love the volume you got from this routine. My hair is very similar to India's. Could you please link the video with India's routine you used as inspiration? I'd like to watch it as well! Thanks xoxo

[@sandyziegler4966]

I love her she is beautiful and her hair is also. Your hair turned out amazing with her method. My hair loves not your mother's curl cream but not the gel. Weird don't understand why. So far there's been only 2 gels my hair likes top pick would be Ecoslay orange marmalade and 2nd Aussie hard hold gel.

[@alyssav6099]

it looks really good! i can’t do damp styling bc it always ends up super stringy. i’m gonna try to do this on my hair and see how it turns out❤️

[@cindywitty8646]

Now, I know India is not as strict w/ Curly Girl, however you are, so how do you feel using the two masks that are not CG approved? 😳 I think your hair turned out great ~ ☺️

[@sav827]

Wow Great definition. I think I will try this method. Thanks for sharing.👍

[@debbiecornelius3669]

I love India!! Your hair looks beautiful

[@kayrosswog7572]

You and India (and India’s mom who is more my age) are my favorites to follow!..maybe because your hair types are close to mine. Loved this video!!!

[@Sassy-qh5nh]

I love your ash blonde hair. Looks very healthy!! Enjoy it while you're young. Mine used to be that color, now its going gray. LOL. Your hair came out great!.

[@karlistewart7342]

Definitely Manes by Mell! I love her so much, and she gets really into the science portion of things like you do so, I think you would enjoy her a lot.

[@sandybrown8698]

I love it and I love damp styling with my hair!!!

[@michelleyoung4918]

I’ve been wanting to try the “ not your mothers “ hair products but I’m afraid India’s routine would be too moisturizing for my hair. Your hair looks fab as always though!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

You know, I thought the same thing. But it wasn't too moisturizing or too heavy for me. I was amazed!

[@dianabakes1]

The whole line is actually really high in protein and the conditioner isn't too heavy. The gel didn't have enough hold for me, but I love all the rest!

[@kristinapettus8371]

I've been doing NYM Naturals for several months except for their conditioner and I love it all. But I agree that all of that stuff seems soooo moisturizing.

[@meowscutie]

I recently read that heavy products have like 10 butters/oils in the ingredients while lighter products have no more than 5. So if you're really concerned just look at the ingredients and count the moisturizing ingredients

[@marleencetz6444]

Thank you for trying India's routine . I definetly can observe that you have less curl definition than when you use your curl clump hacks.

[@chelsnels]

You are so pretty and so is India. Starting my curly girl journey tomorrow!

[@mayavanhoecke7757]

That shirt made your eyes pop so much! Beautiful!

[@geovalera44]

Pretty! More of beachy waves look. I do like the less drying time since my hair is longer.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

ooooo I love this plan! Which routine of hers? She has several

[@btbudgets]

Swavy Curly Courtney the most recent one is the best

[@dipanwitadas8147]

This was so interesting to watch all the different permutations & combinations of someone else's washday! Definitely will try the mix of a moisturing and a protein DC on my next one.

[@lynnettewood4269]

I damp style mine but I microplop to towel dry and encourage my clumps then add products with praying hands instead of scrunching at end with a towel which would just rub my products off x

[@isabelhoch3713]

So excited for this one!! Y’all r both my faves 💕 Maybe try ManesByMel’s routine or Gena Marie’s?

[@LDjernaes]

Did you maybe not reach the back of your hair as much as you normally would, styling upside down? Though it looked a bit flat on the top I personally do a sort of combo, where I will wetstyle and then microplop before adding the final gel to then damp hair ☺️.

[@bineoberzicke7748]

i like your hair with india batsons routine more. it looks more volumen and easy. nice greetings from germany :)

[@judiegarnett2644]

I found you from her. You both are super. I have taken things from you both. I have hair closer to yours and have been using Pattern lately and it works wonders. Please give it a try.

[@rachelleforbes5329]

Did I miss the squish to condish part, or is that just not part of her routine? It looks AWESOME

[@samanthab3292]

It turned out soooo good!!

[@benaims]

[@dozeymare6857]

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you! 😊

[@shallowwaters6690]

Wow! Your results were incredible! What products or techniques did you feel made the biggest difference?

[@Jezebel066]

I have been trying her styling method.. I had a couple times it turned out ok. I’m starting to think her hair is more of a 3a & the way she styles makes it a 2c. Bc I thought I was a 2b, but looking at my 18 yr old daughter w my hair who has wore natural for 4 yrs, I def have a 2c. I’m new.. & her way for me ends up w smooth hair, but very stringy OR very frizzy from so much flipping & the damp styling.. Not sure what I did the days it turned out great..

[@lulujean88]

Absolutely beautiful! Is your hair cut into long layers? Please talk about that; and let us know who's been cutting it during this HELLISH time! TY

[@rurtsy2]

Love it Courtney! Would never have chosen her products!!! but it turned out great! I've been trying styling my hair upright with a Denman brush! (Manes by Mell style) So different for me, as I was doing most styling in the shower upside down. It's fun to try new things!

[@andreaseibert2810]

I loved seeing you try India’s routine! Your hair looks great.

[@ioanaschifirnet3814]

The whole thing of my hair feeling damp even when I think I've fully dried it happens to me all the time! You are definitely not the only one!

[@savataha2767]

She just got married!!!!!

[@cleartruth101]

You did a perfect job, your hair looked really beautiful. If you could give the name of the products more clearer that would be great.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Everything should be listed in the description of the video if that is helpful! 🤗

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

I love it! I think the main difference I see between her hair and yours after the same routine is that her haircut layers the top and back of her hair a _lot_ more, which makes it look way more layered and way more voluminous. Yours is mostly the same length, which is why, especially from the back, it looks flatter. Great video!
