Icons: Curly Hair Expert Lorraine Massey

[@schnauzermom6352]

Wow! This is probably very naïve of me but I never realized that Caucasian curlies were taught to hate their curls as much as us African American ones. Trends and society really did a number on us curly girls. Thank you for coming out with such wonderful products to help us love the skin (and hair) we're in.

[@selenacavaness9006]

schnauzer mom it's true. I've spent so many years hating mine that I don't even know what to do with it at almost 33 :/

[@schnauzermom6352]

So incredibly sad. I bet you have a simply beautiful mane and don't even know it. I didn't at your age either. Keep watching tutorials and you will figure out styles and hair care regimens that work for you. One thing that helped me was looking at videos of all curly hair. Not just ones that look like my hair type. I learned about plopping for from a Caucasian lady! Just take the advice that works for you and leave the stuff that doesn't.

[@selenacavaness9006]

I'm starting over today! When I watch the lady who crated this methods video I almost cried. I'm ready to see what my hair really looks like... although im nervous about all that conditioner weighing my hair down. It is fine.

[@schnauzermom6352]

They have several different lines and lots of styling products. In your case with fine hair I'd recommend stay far away from the Decadence line for super curly hair. While my super thick and super dry hair adores it, I think it would be WAY too heavy for you. They have a line for wavy hair and regular curly hair, too. You may want to look into those.

[@selenacavaness9006]

Mine is much less curly than it was before i had kids which makes this whole thing more complicated. 😂😂😂😭😭😭

[@4mydearlady]

Lorraine is inspirational. Was watching an old Princess Diaries film with my daughter. Anne Hathaway's hair in it is bushy, dry, curly - nothing has been done to it. Characters in the film are making fun of her hair. Stylist character in the film compares her hair to an animal. Breaks his brush at the root of her hair. A beauty makeover shows her with straight hair. I immediately told my daughter: that part of the film is wrong, mean. All "Mia" needed was conditioner and finger-combing.

[@loudloveen]

I love how passionate Lorraine is about curly hair and how she advocates it. I'm a mother of a toddler with tight curls, so I appreciate every word she says on the matter. I cannot thank her enough.

[@discobella101]

It's so good to have someone fighting our corner and standing up for curls in a world that constantly tells you your curly hair needs to be fixed and that straight is the only way to look good. It's so inspiring just listening to her talk! I wish she'd open a salon in the UK!

[@miamorris9815]

I don't know what society is thinking! Curls are beautiful! ❤️💖😍 why do you think this video got so many views! I wish I had curly hair and hopefully after this video I Can have beautiful curls! ❤️ Much Love, Mia 💖💘

[@fabulously695]

discobella101 whoop whoop! I have news, lorraine(Instagram @curlyworldllc) is doing an authenticated Curl by Curl cutting class with fabian from curl Love(instagram @fabcurllove) , there will be almost a couple dozen attendees so we will now have some real hairdressers in the U.K.!

[@Joanny312]

CURLY HAIR IS NOT A TREND, IT'S A LIFESTYLE!!! Lets OWN IT GIRLIES!! I'm excited to be transitioning to my natural hair... it's been 3 months since I last touched a blow dryer and I can't wait to have all my curls bouncy and back to life!

[@schnauzermom6352]

That's how I did it. I transitioned for 18 months with no heat and then cut my permed ends off. I felt like I was rediscovering myself. I hadn't seen my real hair since I was 12 and I was 38 at the time. It's a life changing thing. Even though it's hard to unplug that blow dryer/flat iron, it's well worth it when you see those curls popping up! Good luck and continued success!

[@SweetBEPeas]

I just got my first deva cut last week. Other salons always cut my hair straight and wet and never told me how to take care of my curls. When I got my deva haircut, he walked me through every step and explained everything to me. As he was finishing up, I was on the verge of tears (very happy ones) because I finally knew what to do and had beautiful hair. I couldn't hold back my smile. Thank you!!!

[@melissasw64]

I got her book a couple of years ago and it changed my life. I don't shampoo anymore and my hair is much healthier and curlier.

[@MariaDoll]

I'm hooked....I need to embrace the post-menopausal wavy hair that I've been gifted with!! Thank you, Lorraine. You're right...we need to love all of who we are. I'm guessing that it'll be awhile before I see less of the frizz. But I'm determined!!

[@MsKimwiz]

Last six months I have totally embraced my curly hair. I am using all your suggestions to get my hair healthy and am loving my natural curls again! Thank you!

[@gabbyn.9850]

This women is amazing and truly loves what she does. She has a wealthy of knowledge about variety of hair types. I really appreciate it ♥️

[@yasmine3922]

damn her curls are perfect

[@Andromeda92x]

I love her and I love the CG Method ♥️ I love my very curly hair thanks to her 😍

[@sonrisaverdean757]

I don't know how I didn't get this before. My hair has a been a struggle for years and you start hating your hair but its not the hair, its the products and the fact that you don't know how to take care of it. I love her! She's a genius :)

[@juliealackey]

Having my crazy curly hair at one of her salons is a dream of mine! I read her book over 8 years ago and it changed my hair but more importantly, changed me!

[@MsRenny23]

I love Lorraine Massey !

[@VoxUrania]

Genius. I would also give her an Honourable Livelihood Award for using her gifts of creativity and expression in such a positive way.

[@tifbrown8419]

I can't believe how emotional this video made me! ♡

[@gabbyn.9850]

I feel the same

[@MakeupIsAGrlzBstFrnd]

WOW!! Absolutely AMAZING video, philosophy, and woman. THIS is where its at, and I truly commend you for this. This is real and true and what women need to hear, feel, and live by. I LOVE IT!!! Thank you!!! In a world of the "sleek" hair, I have never conformed, and still embrace my curls. However, this short vid helped me see things I am doing wrong. Thank you! I just wish I was close to you so I could have the pleasure of experiencing your establishment!

[@candragora]

Lorraine changed my life with Her book..!! I'm so happy with my hair now

[@christinesavage7036]

She's so humble! I love it

[@miamorris9815]

One thing that got to me is how she said it doesn't matter if you have the kinkiest of hair or the straightest of hair you can have curly hair. ❤️💖💘😍 gives me hope I can have curly hair from my kinky stage. 💘🙈

[@gabellis9658]

no I guess I don't know how she meant it but she probably meant like if you kinky hair you can come into the salon and help you unless you do a twist out you'll get curly hair or perm or a change in your body could cause you to have curly hair but I have curly hair so

[@madigriffin6548]

she you can have "beautiful hair" not curly

[@gabellis9658]

Madi Griffin oh well um well every hair type is beautiful and she or he out curly

[@madigriffin6548]

+Gabby Ellis ???

[@gabellis9658]

Madi Griffin sorry about that I meant to say that the she didn't say that it could be curly Lorraine said that you could have your hair and I'm brace it

[@BostonBarbieDoll]

I WIsH There Were A Deva Salon Near Me!! -xx's

[@fabulously695]

BostonBarbieDoll If you go on their website, and type in your adresss, it will show salons near you in the USA and Canada. I have a list myself of deva inspired salons, although, as devacurl is not avalible put of the America, they are not listed officially on the website

[@carolwilliams5959]

I appreciate Lorraine. Thanks to her my natural hair looks great. I telk everybody about the curly girl method,

[@rhianhiggins1078]

oh my gosh this was inspirational. So glad I found you I have battled with fizzy curly hair for 40 years

[@ellar5450]

And I'm for 50 years

[@shaynerpayner]

I have so much love for Deva Curl! It's kind of what started my obsession with products.

[@201110PRINCESS]

I really hate my curly hair but I think I should take care of it more and ill begin to love it .. Thnx for the inspiration

[@JaneLane1004]

Yes your hair will be clean without harsh shampoo. The massaging of the product into the scalp will loosen the dirt, and salt and sweat rinse out. Wash it twice with a no-poo shampoo if you feel it's extra dirty. My hair grows faster and longer when I don't use lathering shampoos.

[@gkadnams]

Love it! I’m a curly girl ready to come out!

[@irenepetride844]

She is the goddess of curly hair

[@cammellehunni]

I purchased Lorraine's book today. I'm so excited to receive it it on tuesday

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

I decided May 2016 to stop flat ironing my hair and fighting with it....it has been a slow process...and I still struggle with my waves/curls....but I am going to forge on and DO THIS! I have had a struggle because my cut is terrible, but I am hopeful as it grows longer, it will be easier to style. "I am a hopeful and a work in progress"

[@nataliejaggi387]

That's awesome! Keep up the curly life :)

[@christinevainikolo7282]

Wow! I wish you had a salon in Australia.

[@sherryls4999]

I've hated my frizpoof hair forever. No hairstylist knew what to do w/ it or products ever helped. I actually used a relaxer on it bc it was so embarrassing. Made it worse. I call it deviant & finally gave up on myself & my hair at 50. This video was crazy cool. Mayb there is hope.

[@artdollz]

There is a FB group called Love YOUR Curls!! My hair is wavy as opposed to curly, but I've learned many helpful tips on dealing with frizz from fellow members. Perhaps give them a try?

[@aditimukhopadhyay5047]

I wish we had a devacurl outlet in India

[@maenyn]

I have the book right infront of me. Its a slow working progress. I'm using the no poo and the conditioner .. and slowy but surley my curls will be fully hyderated and "less" frizzy. It sucks that I have to wear my hair up for work all the time though.

[@robertabueno5911]

Great! Not only I can hear the knowledge I can feel so much soul. I've always loved my curls but got what was there in the market for curly hair and got my hair a bit damaged with the wrong products. I must come to your store. HELP!!!

[@BelizeanBeauties]

We learned to love our curls. Thank you!

[@ELSITAFERNANDEZ]

There a lot of sulfate free shampoos now that lather. I need that lather. I can’t cowash

[@TheLillianYoung]

I love her attitude about curlies.

[@heidishoshana]

just wash with conditioner! like she said, it's about the motion. i work out constantly and i only use a nopoo twice a week. i wash with conditioner if i have to. scrub your scalp with the conditioner really well for a good five minutes in the shower

[@9melissal]

Yes, I think a lot of people don't realize how much you have to physically scrub to make up for the absence of detergents and that's why they think it doesn't work for them.

[@crypticcurls]

Just discovered your technique and looking forward to trying it! But I do a lot of cycling and so my scalp gets very sweaty under the helmet. Can I really manage without shampoo? You wouldn't dream of not washing with soap after a sweaty workout - you'd soon lose your friends to BO! - and the scalp sweats just as much as anywhere else...

[@CurlyKatMarie]

Demonstrative purposes. Did you see how she compared the different-sized curls and the well-cared-for curl to the dry, poorly cut one? It's basically a visual aid :)

[@thesavagery]

does anyone know if you're supposed to wet/condition your hair everyday in the shower as long as you don't wash it?

[@hwalt8455]

Depends on whether your hair feels dirty to you or needs moisture. You can revive your curls with water only the days after washing, in the shower or with a spray bottle. You dont have to wet/ co-wash if you dont feel the need to. Hope that helps!

[@thesavagery]

+H Walt thank you so much :)

[@maenyn]

Does any one have any tips instead of hair elastics? I have just above the shoulder length hair (I'm growing it out) Also I was talking to my friend and admiring her curls asking how she did it and she said she let stopped dying her hair and just let her natural hair color grow back .. so thats my goal is to not worry about my greys and just enjoy the color I was meant to have.

[@funkadeedee]

Hi Lorraine, do you have any salons in southern california?

[@chiarasiliprandi6368]

I tried your method....I'm high porosity.....for me it doesn't work at all.....silicones are ok to me

[@sharonphillips3700]

I really want to get my hair cut at one of her places. Where are they? :(

[@chickychikita]

hi if you go on devachan webites it shows salons that are trained .their great :)

[@TheBella5401]

I hope and wish you will open a shop in Berlin/Germany 🖒😆

[@acuik10]

I hate Otto when I go to the salon to cut my hair and its wet, then when it dry my hairs like four times shorter then I wanted.

[@holistic7980]

Wonderfully put. I've been to the high end salons and they don't have the simple knowledge and know how like you.

[@holistic7980]

Some men have nice curly hair. I think you need to target them also.

[@jbrickey456]

+holistic79 I agree. I'm a guy who has had short hair all my life. A couple years ago I decided to grow it out, but I could never figure this hair out as it became longer and longer. I finally figured out that I'm a curly "girl" and have been rocking curls ever since and loving it.

[@holistic7980]

+J Brickey 😊Great! Nice to hear that.

[@annieizkind1979]

I want my hair just like Lorraine Massey's .

[@holistic7980]

from your photo you have lovely hair. We all have different curl types.

[@Katrn30]

I want these products...I want my hair cut by you! Where can I get someone to cut my curly hair dry?

[@summers1890]

this woman is my insparation

[@thetravellingturtons4745]

Does anyone know if there is one of these hairdressers in the U.K. And where I can get devacurl from please ? X

[@Infertilityandmepodcast]

I like her, she's funny. Might have to put the Curlz down try hers.

[@edengarden6811]

I bought a carmen chopstick curler to get curls like this. I am now looking into these methods, i want to stop using heat and bad chemicals. I always hated my wavy hair, and it was soooo thick!! and i still hate it because now it just looks bad, my hair is just so damaged and suffers from all the bad chemicals that’s why it sits bad on my head. And my hair is very thin now.. sadly

[@frizzcase8726]

OMG PLEASE do my hair TT_TT I am 20 years old and I have been trying to pursue healthy natural hair and i'm struggling! I don't know where to get my hair cut!!! I want my hair to grow healthy but I know my ends are suffering and my hair is quite dry.. what should I do!? Help!!

[@claudiadelacruz293]

Juy buy her book And you will find de answer. I got it like two weeks ago and I'm freaking out with my waves :)

[@frizzcase8726]

Good plan, I like it :D Claudia Buendia

[@shellypoint9694]

Hi I love you,re hair it really pretty girl thank you make me very happy to be a curly girls all The way

[@frauvoss]

I really don't understand why curly women in the US grow up hating their hair. I made the experience that in Germany the girl with the big curls is the star in school. I've always wanted curls rather than straight hair. I've got waves but I always had been thinking that my hair was straight b/c of wrong maintenance. That's why I'm so happy about the CGM. Any hair type is beautiful as long as it is natural. Regards from Germany ;-)

[@9melissal]

That sounds amazing! That definitely wasn't my experience growing up in the US. For one thing, no one around me had curly hair other than my family so it was just different but also nobody knew how to take care of it so it didn't look it's best which didn't help. I'm in my 30s so KZbin etc. wasn't around when I was growing up and you didn't see naturally curly hair even in magazines etc. If they did show someone with curly hair it was usually a straight haired girl with curls made by a curling iron. So there was just no information on how to take care of it or really even products made to help curly hair.

[@dablacks3749]

Bless you for this video

Pleaseeeeeee!!!, do one in EUROPEEEEE!!!!! AND HOW CAN I GET THE PRODUCTS?????

[@zprusza]

Selene nice work shop !!!!

[@Latbirget]

There was a bit of hate shown towards the hair in the drawer which she said was bad. My hair looks like that and I've just started this method. Not helpful. I won't be having those layers either, I will still have it one length. I don't mind if it looks like a triangle.

[@azaha1924]

Please please I need you to be in Asia.... Singapore!!....

[@RhondaWilliams-ly9jz]

Help my wavy/curly hair is just out of control and I can't get a good cut! SOS signal please

[@lastoldlady]

I have been doing something to my hair all my life and I have had some kind of a perm for thirty five years, no more.

[@rubyslippers6716]

Sounds great but aren’t some of Deva Curl’s products not approved? I just saw one today on their list while I was looking for something else.

[@9melissal]

She hasn't been affiliated with Deva Curl anymore for several years now. They reformulated their products a year or two ago and completely rebranded. I believed a lot of them aren't approved anymore. This video is from 10 years ago when she owned the brand and all of the products were designed around her method.

[@missoceanbreeze]

I love her book

[@ItsMe-vd4qi]

If frizz is a curl that needs moisture then how come when I put conditioners and leave in conditioners in the frizzy areas it still looks frizzy?

[@9melissal]

It could be a lot of factors for instance, how long has it been since you stopped using sulfates and silicones, do you have heat damage, how are you washing and styling your hair and applying your products, etc.

[@ELSITAFERNANDEZ]

My dream is to go 2het salon!

[@sherryb9770]

Follow Lorraine’s advice. Frizz be gone!! ❤️

[@leylarustamova]

[@drew_drop]

i feel a little upset that the original curly girl doesn't have her brand available in the place she grew up in

[@TeddyxBeaR1000]

Please ship your products to Europe

[@fabulously695]

TeddyxBeaR1000 she’s sold devacurl onwards, she’s now creating a new line of curl products, it will be called Curly world! Hopefully they do come to the eu!

[@TeddyxBeaR1000]

Fabulous omg thank you so much for your help! I'll definitely watch out for these products!

[@chickychikita]

:) bravo

[@k.williams9256]

this comment is for lorraine massey lorraine can u please open a devashun salon in Mississippi. some white salons in my hometown have no knowledge of a diva cut or how to work with curly hair especially blk women or women of color. some white salons do not want blk people in their salons. this is so sad. i experience racism in my journey trying to find a white stylist to take care of my curly hair. however i found one salon in my hometown that would work on my hair and not let the color of my skin be an issue. i just want my hair done by professionals who knows how to work with curly hair no matter the color of anyone's skin color. With that said, I hope you will consider this request because i dont want to fly to Ny or Chicago or LA to get the deva curl experience. I dont mind driving to one of your salons if its in my state. in closing still trying to figure out CGM. curly in Ms

[@k.williams9256]

p.s lorraine my stylist whom i found will work on my hair but when i mention the diva cut well bless heart. i could tell she didnt know what i was talking about because i had to explain to two of the stylist what a diva cut is. i commend these women because they didnt quickly show me the door. they cared they listen n one of white stylist said she feels she can give me the shape n make my curls look great. so kudos to them but again this proves my point that Mississippi needs a devashun salon badly. I been going to blk salons all my life but the ones i been to havent heard of taking care of natural curly girls hair. i am sure some may know but the ones i been to well, i never seen blk stylist do the curly girl method on women's hair as u talked about in your book. n maybe thats because white n blk stylist dont know because ur method hasnt been discussed until u wrote the book i guess. i am so glad u wrote your book because a lot of women have left relaxers and started their natural hair journey doing the curly girl method. u inspired many clurly girls on u tube n they been sharing your methods on their channels especially mahagonycurls...through Jess channel i learned about u n ur book. And by the way, u were right there is a natural community or a world of people who really wants to dump the cones n detergents to get healthy natural beautiful hair for life. thanks for all your teachings n ur love and passion for helping women all over the world love their curly hair. 😘 curls in the south

[@HereIAm247]

Sounds like a rough experience, hope you find someone who can cut your hair right! :) I would like to point out though, it may be more of a curl thing than a race thing (I live in Europe, so maybe US is different). But I have often experienced horrifying and uneven haircuts, waaaay too hard treatment (resulting in broken hairs, uneven and thin ends). Hairdressers tend to get insulted if you don't like their way of doing things. And they are often only taught to cut or shape straight hair, so it is not all their fault. Anyways, my point is, at least in europe, this is more of a curl thing than a race thing. As a 2c/3a caucasian, I still experience these things, and have yet to find a stylist that will cut my hair wet, or know anything about curls. Or doesn't look at me like I am an alien when I suggest using sulphate or silicone free products. The styling after the haircut often resembles a scarecrow (think ugly bettys first makeover, but brushed out, teased and hairsprayed). All curly girls are feared among hairdressers, not just people with a darker skintone. :)

[@acuik10]

I mean it not Otto.

[@ladygeena81]

Very talented woman and the products are indeed excellent....but curly hair as lifestyle?! I couldn't go my whole life just being natural and not enjoying a good straightening every now and then. Curly hair has so many barriers and limits anyway....a chore.

[@9melissal]

What barriers and limits do you think it has? Obviously there's nothing wrong with straightening your hair every once in a while if it makes you happy to change things up.
