IS MY HAIR WAVY? \ how to reduce frizz, define waves and start your wavy hair journey

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

Just so everyone knows, hair does change with age! When i was little, i had pin straight hair but now i have some waviness in here

[@lunariyoo_n]

Same! When I was little, my hair is so straight but when I entered high school, it started to become frizzy and poofy with some waves in there

[@anotheralyssa5723]

[@faycoleman9023]

Same, I had curly hair as a baby then it lost alot of curl definition and was barley wavy then it started getting curly again when I started puberty.

[@SarahVanDenHaute]

@@lunariyoo_n same, and now idk what to dooo and it looks so bad on me bcs I’m half asian and it doesn’t blend with my other features! Like I know I’m mixed with white (my family had curly redhead hair) but still it’s sooo annoying!

[@Mel-qr5ob]

when I was little I had straight white-blonde hair and now I've got brown wavy/curly hair

[@RachelMaryB]

For years, I never knew what “kind” of hair I had, but your channel literally changed my life. I found out that my hair is wavy and not just poofy and frizzy with a slight wave. Also, getting a layered haircut after your video about the “triangle” hair changed. the. game. I feel so much more happy and confident with my hair and my appearance, so seriously thank you so much.

1. stop heat styling 2. dont bleach 3. watch wavy hair channels 4. get a good styler & protein product 5. balance protein and moisture 6. try gels, creams, different drying ways. :)

[@truthinlovemama]

My daughter has curly hair, and when I began looking into caring for her hair, I realized my hair is wavy. It’s never been stick straight, frizzes easily, and lends itself to that “triangle” shape you’ve talked about before. Especially if I try to blow it out, it gets huge, dry, and frizzy instead of sleek and voluminous. Since watching your videos, I’ve used my daughter’s curl defining cream, scrunching, T-shirt plop, and this week flax gel I made. I think my waves are 2A/2B. I think my next steps are protein (!!!) and a good haircut. Thanks for making these videos. I’m excited to be starting on this journey! I never liked heat styling, but the scrunching is easy for me. I can’t wait for my hair to not look “blah” anymore! Thank you!

[@melindab]

Truth in Love Mama Awh yay!!!! That’s so awesome! You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@Fernanda2205]

I have 2c/3a hair, and the crazy thing is when I was a baby and growing up I have stick straight hair! Then about 5 years ago I fell asleep with the towel on my head and my hair dried wavy/curly. I started the CGM and my hair got a little more curly. My hair started to get frizzy and “bad” when I was in middle school and it was probably wavy/curly back then, and I just never knew it!

My hair was actually straight up until I was in my 20s (even as a toddler)- I’m the only one in my family with wavy/curly hair. I think it’s hormones

[@claudiamcbride5460]

Same! (Minus the family part - my mom has VERY curly hair) Mine randomly started showing a little bit of wave when I was about 18 and that was with not taking the best care of it. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s hormones.

[@r.e.holding]

@@claudiamcbride5460 I always thought it was weird because I learned that curly is a dominant trait, so to be the only one is not normal- in assuming, but I think it is hormones! 😄

[@kristenwilliams7995]

Hormones really play a part. One of my cosmetology instructors was telling me about how her hair went from straight to curly when she was pregnant, and then her hair got even more curly with her second pregnancy.

[@lucretiaberke5247]

The part about keratin vs. Moisture was so incredibly helpful! I've been struggling with frizz.. but after watching your video, I found a keratin oil in my bathroom and it was like magic!!!

[@sirenelectric143]

Recently I’ve heard a lot of negative things surrounding DevaCurl...a lot of ppl have made videos talking about how it damaged their hair or even made it fall out. Just pls careful ladies, keep those beautiful locks as healthy as possible :) Also what helps me with limp and really stretched out waves is Clarifying my hair and then using a hair mask on it (since you strip it clean). The buildup from the products we use tend to weight it down and hard to help form a shape. My waves never look as defined or cute as after I clarify it. I use the suave clarifying shampoo, it’s really inexpensive and the bottle lasts a long time since you are only using it like once every 2 weeks

[@atlantis315]

I have fine hair, it doesn't hold any heat styling, waves are flat in minutes after styling, I always blow dried with a round brush, but it was frizzy anyways, and I always ended up with a bun, i did not like to straighten it because I have very fine hair and it looked flat, and it demaged so easily... Then I saw couple of videos on CGM, realized then when I got caught in a rain my hair used to dry in waves... Now I tried some products, curl activating cream, gel and a right conditioner, that doesn't weigh my hair down, and I have a respectable 2b/2c waves, I love them, waiting for my bangs to grow out and trying some layers to encourage my top to curl more... Thank for your advice, you're fun to watch

[@kathiesoriano6876]

For the past couple years I’ve been watching curly hair videos and wondering why my wavy hair wasn’t getting it’s full potential! I just stumbled across your channel yesterday and I have the same wave pattern as you! I finally found the perfect channel for my hair lol

[@kristenwilliams7995]

I just wanted to take a second to thank you for your videos. I have never really thought my hair could be wavy/curly, just thought it was frizzy, lol. I've always put my hair in a towel to dry a bit straight out of the shower, brushed my hair when applying my leave-in products and then blow dry my hair. But, after being recommended one of your videos earlier this week I decided to try some of your techniques when I washed my hair last night. I don't have "curly" products, but I applied my leave-in conditioner and some of my son's hair gel to my wet hair & scrunched, then let it dry on it's own (took forever, lol, overnight and then some). But I am shocked at how wavy/curly my hair got and best of all I actually notice less frizz! I'm definitely trying out some of your product recommendations & going to continue trying out this method. Thank you so much!

I always thought I had dry hair. Just today I noticed that my hair is quite interesting haha. It always has one little wave at the ends, but sometimes there’s too waves in my hair. This has actually made my day better, because I’ve always wanted wavy hair and now I could maybe even make my hair wavier. EDIT:not dry I meant straight

[@becurious17]

Just a word to say that some hair is protein sensitive!! If you find that every time you use protein rich products that they are making your hair feel and look worse, coarse, brittle, dry, etc please stop using them! You can really damage your hair if you keep pumping protein into protein sensitive hair. I'm not an expert, but there are many educational videos you can find on the topic. Just wanted to add that note. Melinda is right that having protein in your routine is great for MOST people. Just be aware! 💜 Also, I second her recommendation for the kinky curly knot today. It gives amazing definition to my waves and it is one of the only products I've used that lets me detangle with ease!

Hi girl! I am working on creating a tool to allow women to scrunch their hair with less effort. I have a few questions to guide the development of the product 1. I was wondering what your big pain points are when it comes to scrunching hair? 2. On average, how long do you scrunch your hair? 3. Why do you scrunch your hair - how does it benefit your hair? 4. What would you expect from a hair scrunch tool (besides the basic functionality)? You can speak to design, functions, ergonomics etc. Would love to hear everyones feedback!

[@rachelireland8904]

My biggest problem is frizz and the longer my hair gets the more my wave falls out which is sad. I've tried so many products and techniques and nothing has helped. I then also have a problem between my scalp and my hair. My scalp is extremely sensitive so I have to be careful what goes on my hair and my shampoos etc.

[@itsmahree]

my hair is like a mix of 2a to 3b and some even straight.. crazy and its dependent on the temperature or where im at.. when its humid it can be too flat and stick together, in windy summer days it can be poofy, then soft, smooth and in between flat and poofy when its cold or when im in an airconditioned room lol.. i found it hard to manage that i used to have it straightened always, but then recently i am embracing my natural hair and found that a shag hairstyle works for me..

[@MaryKay1994]

Ok might be a double post but I need some advice, I have amazing curls on the lower half of my hair but as you go up to the outer layer and on top they get looser to non existence how can I fix this

[@Jess-ot4eo]

Same here! The bottom of my hair has very defined curls while the top is pin straight 😫 if you find any advice let a girl know!

[@clairetorres4226]

Same problem here! I found out that I had wavy hair about a year ago, and I’ve been working on making it healthier since then. I’ve always had ringlets around my neck and ears, while the top layer is always kinda straight. At this point, I think the top layer is just naturally straighter, but I’ve been working on ways to even it out. The first thing I found was that my application technique was wrong. If you’re just scrunching in your stylers, maybe try using the “praying hands” or “raking” method to make sure you’re really getting the product all throughout both sides of the hair. Once I started doing this, my top layer started meshing more w the bottom layer. The second thing I do is that, when taking a shower, I really try my best NOT to break the clumps of hair that form when it’s wet. So I’ll intentionally split it into only like 6 chunks of hair, scrunch, apply product, etc. and then put it in a towel or plop. This way, the straighter pieces are more likely to dry with the wavy/curly pieces and adopt a similar curl pattern with the help of the styler. Hope this helps!

[@MaryKay1994]

@@clairetorres4226 THanks will try I get the slight wave while it is wet but it goes straighter and straighter throughout the day

[@frickfrack7075]

Top layers get more damage, either by the sun, being pulled up, sleeping, etc. It could also be dry from what I said above. One more thing that can help, is washing your hair the opposite way. So if you lean back and let the water hit the top of your head first, then try turning around flipping your head over, and letting the water hit the back of your head first! Oh! And I almost forgot! When you wash your hair, make sure you're holding the lengths, if you can at all points of the wash. Any time you're running water through your hair, make sure you're holding the ends as to not let them be stretched out. If all else fails, the top may need a different treatment than the bottom. So you may need protein on top, moisture on the bottom, or vice versa!

[@jesssharples9047]

[@mstrinaluna4225]

Hey! Your videos have been a big help to me. I have two questions: 1. Do you think a clear hair gloss/glaze (direct deposit, no added developer) would help de-frizz and smooth waves, or weigh them down? 2. Could you talk about products that almost worked for you and why they didn't? Maybe if we have just slightly different hair they can help us? 💛

[@janiehall2029]

It would help with frizz but the gloss will have silicone in it

My hair has always been kinda wavy when wet then drys kinda frizzy straight. My dad had ringlets curls when it was long and my mum has pin straight fine hair. Mine is fine but quite dense. I think I have wavy hair. When I straighten it which isn't often it never stays straight for long.

Changing hormones can affect curl pattern. A lot of women experience a change in hair texture/curl pattern after they go through puberty. I'm not sure if this is what happened to you, but just letting you know it is a possibility.

[@PanickedPluto]

Is your hair longer now? You probably have longer and heavier hair and that weight pulls the curls down and makes them appear less curly. If you put layers in it or thin it out or go shorter I bet the curls will pop up a little more since some weight has been lifted.

[@annjay2581]

When I was a toddler my brother and I both had straight platinum blonde hair, his hair is still like this, but mine is dark brown and wavy 😭

Me with type 1 hair that can't hold a curl to save its life: maybe I secretly have wavy hair?

[@evelienpopelier4458]

Thanks for this video! 🙌🏻 just found out I have naturally 2b waves, but unlike most other people: I do not want them tighter, I actually would like a looser wave and am not looking for ‘getting to type 3 curls!’ like most people on the curly girl method are. Only problem is that the waves are a bit stringy and frizzy and I would like to smooth them without getting more curly. Do you have any tips maybe for my specific situation? 💗 (don’t get me wrong, I LOVE curly hair, but I prefer loose waves on myself)

[@ameliakoscik7420]

The thing is my hair is wavy but only a tiny bit and if I brush it out it just acts like pin straight hair sooooo my question is do I still call this 2a hair?

[@melindab]

amelia koscik yep! I’d say any wave at all is in the 2’s! But everyone has different opinions and there’s no strict amount of wave or curl you have to have to fit into a category it’s all relative. I’d definitely try some styling products though and try to enhance your wave bc it could become more wavy the more you work with it!

[@aliceromano1028]

My hair is wavy and on the second day I use your leave in conditioner but it still is frizzy and not super define curls, have any tips? Also the end of my curls it ends straight any other tips? ❤️❤️❤️

[@aliceromano1028]

The leave in is the women to women, should I try kinky curly not today instead for day 2?

[@melindab]

is it defined and less frizzy on the first day too or only after you refresh it on day 2??

[@aliceromano1028]

Yes on the first day it’s defined and usually not frizzy and on the second day not so much 😬

[@melindab]

Alice Romano when my hair is frizzy after I refresh it normally means I need to add more water while I’m refreshing and a little more of my styling product!🖤 I have a video on my refresh routine too if that will help at all!

[@aliceromano1028]

Okay thank you so much!❤️

[@alexrose20]

I want to find products for my wavy hair but my scalp is so damaged from dandruff so i gotta work that out somehow 😭

[@cate3048]

try an apple cider vinegar rinse on your scalp!! look into it about the ratios and how often to do it!

[@yanna666]

anoyne has alternative for the Woman to woman leave in? link doesnt work and i cant find it anywhere else

[@melindab]

Yanna i would try the Redken extreme shampoo or conditioner. It has protein too and helped me a ton with enhancing my s curls! I used that instead of the woman to woman conditioner and it worked just as well AND gave me lasting results☺️

[@yanna666]

@@melindab thank you so much for your answer. Your hair is goals as I also have bleached and split dyed my hair pink and purple. I am so ready to get on this wavy hair journey.

[@melindab]

Yanna oh yeah I’d definitely get that redkin line then! It helped my hair so much! Go to my video about my wavy hair routine for famed hair! You should also get the leave in by redkin and once you use that system for a bit it’ll bring out your curls and then you can switch to a more moisturizing line! Like the ultra soft by redken! I’m obsessed with their stuff 😜 is saved my hair! you’re welcome! 🖤🖤

[@yanna666]

@@melindab thank you so so much. I will definitely do all of that :)

[@LexaJ828]

It’s interesting what you said about protein enhancing curls because I started eating a lot more protein lately and my hair is growing in wavy 🤔🤔 it’s been stick straight my whole life!

[@nataliax8819]

Both my parents have curly hair but I have straight hair lol

[@anotheralyssa5723]

5:40 wait, we're supposed to use styling product,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@bloohatesyou420]

Now to find vegan/cruelty free versions of all that😭

[@bloohatesyou420]

For anyone wondering, ive already bought pureology products & the 21 benefits spray is by far amazing if your hair is super porest.

[@melindab]

bb blootokes yessss!

[@leander8840]

Giovanni products are great and work for wavy hair very well Kinki curly is so good and also cf and many if not all are vegan and black owned Shea moisture is cf but mostly not vegan Ecoslay is cf and mostly vegan (I think?) its also black owned and naturally sourced Hask is cf and has some nice vegan options (not all tho so make sure u check!)

[@leander8840]

oh and in general be careful with protein-treatments and such as they often have silk or collagen! Olaplex 3 is vegan!

[@faithlilis]

Why u remind me of a pink hair Ariel the mermaid 😊🤷‍♀️

*You probably don’t dry straight and have kinky curly hair* Cries in confusion *fourteen years of lies* seriously I never knew and then I hit college and my mum was like *by the way???*
