STG I’ve tried everything to save my curls while sleeping and NOTHING worked. Pineapple, Medusa clipping, bonnet only, everything. I tried the clips and bonnet trick last night and BOOM! It worked perfectly!! I even wore my bonnet for a while after I woke up because I was too scared to look at it 😂 Thank you, you marvelous genius you!!!

[@GIRLYISMS]

as someone who isn’t black but has 3b-3c curls, i am glad you gave credit where it is due. all my life i’ve looked up to black women for tips on curly hair since i’m one of the only ones in my family with such curly hair. 🙂💕

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Me too!!! I started wearing my hair curly at a time when the only people wearing their hair curly and the only bloggers and influencers around that were educating on hair, were Black women. The credit for the curly world growing to the level it has, the knowledge that has been shared IS owed to them and the Natural hair movement!

[@Zainab-pe8qi]

Hi i am born in America but my parents are from Pakistan my hair i very curly my moms is very strat and my dads to but mh hair i always wash my hair at nihht and is always crazy i will try wotha scarf my mom doesn't let me brush by hair wet but damp i dont knkw what to use or what shapo or condishoner to use that is good bjg cheep my hair looks amazing curly but i cat wear it out becaseit is a rule my mom has i only wear it out 2 times at school but my hair is always frizzy a mess crazy always have hair sticking out so ys i have hair just a smug less curlyer then hers but it might be the same idk pls recommend things i should get or watch

[@crazyanimalmama]

@@Zainab-pe8qi I know it's been a few months since your comment but hopefully this helps.. First and best thing is to start watching all the curly and wavy hair videos you can find. Watch them all because it will give you 100+ unique or slightly different techniques to try. Start with whatever looks reasonable to you for the effort you want to put in and give it a try. Since your concerned with product cost I would suggest switching to a curly hair shampoo/conditioner since you already buy those products. Then focus on techniques more than products. Try to avoid brushing hair unless it's soaking wet and preferably with at least conditioner in it. Take your brush into the shower with you. Once you're familiar with the various options and have a few your comfortable doing. Consider adding the basic products (and they don't have to be pricey versions). Leave in conditioner is very important; tell your mother it helps detangle your hair she might like that if she doesn't like how you're hair is frizzy/tangled. Then you can go from there. But definitely work on how to care for your curls with videos like this and methods to decrease frizz and tangles.

[@amandah2866]

It's true that the black community kept these strategies alive and accessible to everyone but it's not true that they are the only ones who've used fabric to wrap hair to protect it. Braiding and wrapping hair is seen in Asia (silk comes from China after all), indigenous peoples of Western and Eastern Europe, Native Americans and indigenous people in Oceania. Even as recently as during and at the end of WWII white women were wrapping their hair in cotton fabric to reduce how often they washed their hair due to war rations...that's where the hairstyle victory rolls came from. I had a friend in grade 6 who made her own bonnet from a pillowcase so she could sleep in a bit longer on school mornings. At that time (early 2000s) in Australia we'd never really seen a bonnet in our city school this was an idea that she thought of all on her own as a white early teen. I'm not saying that the black community doesn't deserve credit for perfecting curly hair care but what I am saying is humans of all races have found ways to protect hair throughout history so no one should feel uncomfortable about using a bonnet or a dutch braid or a satin pillow case.

Same it wasnt in style and I had no idea how to style it.

[@shelly5016]

THAT and when you're led to believe that it's just frizz or that your hair is just wrong. I'm tired of letting people telling me that wavy/curly hair is undesirable and ugly bc first of all I don't agree, and second of all, if I'm to love myself and take care of myself, that includes my hair as well. It's gotten very long (couple inches lower than waist), and I'm no longer willing to let people put me down for my hair. I've had to learn how to take care of it bc no one in my life knows how to so yeah.

[@dariayefimova3247]

Oh how much I burned my hair by straightening it every single day, until I embraced it, and for about 2 years I was learning and learning how to bring my curls to the perfection. Just sleeping is torture, I wake up, curls are gone, it’s not straight either just blob I swear 😂😂

[@wmhfv992]

It makes me so happy that you started the video by immediately acknowledging the black women that tested and created this method of hair care. I have straight hair, but it's very long (hip length) and coarse, so I use a lot of curly hair methods to take care of my hair, and this was so helpful!

[@simplyunicorn6507]

I do the same! I think its a little wavy, but even though it might not, I use the curly hair method because i think it makes it healthier.

This video was very helpful. Thank you!!

[@louc433]

I'm crying tears of happiness. I have the same hair as yours and knew none of these tricks until now (I'm 22)! I mostly managed to braid my hair for the night, so they'd keep some waves even though most of the curls were gone the next day, but you've opened the doors to a brand new world. Thank you so much!!

Thank you for acknowledging all the Black women who have perfected these techniques before us and for pointing us to a Black women-owned business to purchase the Afrona. I just ordered mine and I can't wait to receive it. I am growing my gray curls out for a pixie and it is so in between right now I need big help with my curls. Your expertise and lovely advice are so appreciated!

I’ve found the bonnet stays on the best and protects from frizz the best with my fine hair. I will be investing in those clips because the struggle is real with the flat crown! Thank you for sharing!!

[@janemarieg]

From one Janelle to another Jannelle... Thank you. The clips /bonnet is a life saver!

[@xxShenelopexx]

THANK YOU! This was so helpful! I'm new in the curly-game and wore a bonnet at night so far. Mostly it's been working okay, but sometimes my hair would move around in the bonnet so I'd lie on the curls and they would look awful the next morning. The trick with the clips is brilliant! I wouldn't have gone near them on my own because I thought they'd be bothering me at night. But it works and now my hair doesn't move around in the bonnet.

[@barbarasampson1325]

I am beginning my curly hair journey - thank you! Love your shirt 😊

[@countessmouse]

Thank you for pointing out the clip trick with the bonnet. I felt like the bonnet smushed everything down before I tried the clips. And OMG, I love your shirt!

Great video! Didn’t even think of half bun and unicorn for sleeping...or the clips. Thank you for the great info and featuring the Afrona as an option! Besos y abrazos!

i love that you gave credit

[@desireeadrian5722]

My mind was blown when you shared “The Tube”! I have a buff and keep a bit of volume with my fine, med-low density 2b-3a/b curls... but it frizzes up. The fact that this tube thing is satin lined is a game changer! I will say, I am tempted to try the bonnet one more time, with the addition of the root clipping hack. I do have a satin pillowcases, to protect the nape and any little hairs that make their way out. But this is so awesome and helpful! Especially in these winter months!!! Thank you mamas, for all of your tips and energy. 🥰

[@baileymathis7209]

I feel like you read my mind I was just searching your channel last week for alternatives because bonnets give me sensory overload. And thank you so much for mentioning our Black friends and how we owe all this knowledge to their expertise

Hi Jannelle, My curly hair and I have just started dating (I mean, I'm not new to curly hair, just didn't realize I could be doing so much more with it!) and I've been obsessed with your videos, so much so that I may be suffering from information overload! I just want to say THANK YOU for everything you do, but specifically in this video I appreciate the medusa clipping tutorial. I have shoulder length hair so I do the half up and so far so good. It was nice to wake up in the morning and still have some curl! In short, your videos are great and you are awesome!

Everything I've tried has left my morning hair flat with very loosened curls. I just use a satin pillowcase now.

I REALLY NEED TO THANK U SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU SAVED MY LIFE WITH THIS. I never knew how to keep my curls overnight, and the next day they would look pretty awful. I also tried braiding them, but in the morning when I woke up and took the braids off, I noticed that my curls were all mixed up between the ones made by the braids and my natural ones. So let's just say that braiding them didn't give me back my natural hair. Yesterday evening I used your pineapple tutorial and it worked out really good, my hair looks natural and very similar to the ones on wash day. THANK U SO MUCH GIRL!!!

I had nearly straight hair until I was in my late 50s. After chemo, my hair gradually all fell out. As it grew back in, it was very curly. I had no idea what to do with it. I finally figured out how to wash and dry it, and what products seem to work the best. My hair is thin and fine, and never used to hold a curl so it's a struggle to take care of it, only to have a tangled knot in the morning. Thanks for your instructions on using the hair bonnet. If nothing else it should keep it from tangling.
