I’m a licensed stylist who has wavy hair on a good day lol may I just say this was the most informative and captivating video I’ve seen yet online for curly haired people. I’ve watched it from start to finish and in no way have hair even a smidge close to this! Your hair is literally what I’ve always dreamed of having! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@deppfan85]

Raye Webber I feel you. My natural texture is like a poofier version of the beachy waves everyone’s been into lately. I’d die for my hair to be even like her “before” even just every once in a while.

[@DanaAmundsen]

why is having curly hair so COMPLICATED

[@iamnotmyhandle]

Because it is a privilege.

[@roxanne1951]

Because there are so many different types of curly hair. Because without all the complicated processes most of us just have a fuzzy mess with no curl definition. Because curly hair basically sucks. I grew up up in the 60s before all the curly hair products.

[@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094]

@@iamnotmyhandle You just made me feel so guilty. 😭👍

[@iamnotmyhandle]

@@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094 I take it you don't have curly hair. Well...if us curly girls can survive being shamed about our "wild and crazy" curls and living in a world that for decades has promoted straight hair as the beauty standard, then you'll be okay.

[@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094]

@@iamnotmyhandle Um, it was a compliment, sorry. My hair is so curly and living in the south with 100+ temps and what feels like 1000% humidity, I had long given up on it and have spent the last decade in a pony tail. In the last 2 weeks I've been watching these videos and actually TRYING to make my hair look like less of a frizzy mess, only to be met at the front door with torrential rain and a literal sauna outside. I think you know how depressing that can be. On top of that, the Aveda products I finally tried turned my hair to straw, and the deva curl after that turned it into grease. Now I have a greasy straw disaster going on, which makes the tropical storm we lived with just the cherry on top of a horrendous start to "bettering" my hair. Having to sit through work looking like a wet hay bail isnt exactly a fun life experiencr. When you said "Its a privilege" it was a compliment and made me feel like I need to stop being such a curmudgeon and keep trying, and hopeful that ONE day maybe something will work, and I will be able to actually wear my hair down for the first time without the use of a straightener. Hopefully your situation is better. God bless.

This was the most helpful curly hair video I have found! I struggle all the time with “Do I need protein? Do I need moisture? Do I need to clarify? Do I need to just give up?” I followed your process this morning and my hair looks amazing!! Thank you so much for this video!!!!!

[@FunkyMachoChicken]

I'd love to see something similar to this video for refreshing between washes. Like assessing your hair and discussing what makes you decide which products to use, how much to use, or whether it's time to give up and have a wash day for various next-day problems you encounter.

Thats a good idea and I think i could put something together!!

I got into this bizarre habits of blow drying my whole body! lol...TMI coming up! It started in the summer, I'd blow dry under my boobs before putting on my bra because hot days = sweat.

So this video gives me hope!

I love that you’re applying logic and reason to your choice of products. I really learned a lot from your videos. Before your channel I thought that I should go protein free for low porosity hair but now I see how you assess the condition of your hair and apply products accordingly. Looking forward to more videos from you!

[@northernlights9684]

Thank you so much for this informative vid. My daughter has curls and I’m from a complete curl free family. I have no idea what to do to make her curles justice. They are so wonderful, and I want her to be proud of her awsome hair. This made me more aware of what to consider!!

[@silver-phoenix]

Does your hair ever have a "stringy" look after certain products...& if so...what causes it?

[@nospina12]

I’ve been binge watching you and the way you speak and organize your videos make me think you’re a teacher 😂 your videos are very informative! Thanks! When I was a baby I had very curly hair and as I got older (I’m only 30) my hair thinned out and i styled it as if i had straight hair but you’ve inspired to start my curly hair journey! Wish me luck

[@DanceOfDawn]

the first 100 seconds were already worth the watch. thats what I love about yt: connecting with people that explain certain ideas in a certain, very striking way. thanks for that

[@Ken-Mar]

Love your videos. This particular video helped me figure out that my hair needed protein. I’m new to the curly girl community and I have realized curly hair changes due to different elements. Can you do a video on how to determine if your hair has too much protein or moisture? Seeing a strand with too much protein or moisture would really help.

[@finchbaby]

Gosh one of the most informative and universally applicable tutorials I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Great job

[@MirandaGibson1220]

Oh my God.! I've been searching, for years, for more wavy/curly girls to follow to teach me more about my curls. Can't believe I just stumbled upon this video. So excited to look more into your channel 😁💙

[@gabbyshappy]

So thankful to find this video when I did! I am a couple months into CG Method and that's EXACTLY the cross roads I was at - I know the WHATS and I've been doing them for a bit - but knowing more about why you do what you do so you can see when that certain step is or isn't necessary - is so important! I feel like this helped me with exactly what you hoped it would - just gain a big of control over my own experience. When you're still learning you pretty much just do what others have done and hope it works - now that I have a good baseline I feel like I can change small things to see the good or bad results for MY hair. Thanks a bunch :)

[@sambucklerandco]

This is SO helpful! I love how you really looked at each step critically to decide what your hair needs, and also that you were flexible and okay with changing it up when needed. I am looking forward to getting really familiar with my own hair's needs like this as a I go along!

[@rebelxapologist4505]

It's refreshing it is to hear an intelligent and free thinker "SISTER" talk. If only our education system taught kids how to assess the world and think for themselves, like you are able to do with us. Thank you for all the info you offered, I am going to see if I can figure it out. If not, hopefully I can come back to you to get clarification or ask you questions. You 're awesome!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Thank you so much for your comment. This is a video that people need to "get" and i am so glad you do! I would definitely love updates and to answer any questions as they pop up!

UGH my hair looks like this after ONE DAY of curls... i’m sad idk what’s going on

[@joannawarren6029]

Same. I don’t know how to have my hair get to even a day 2

[@josefin_svedberg]

So if my hair isn't curling from the roots, it might need more protein? It spirals like crazy at the ends, but the top is mostly flat, even my face-framing pieces. I'd love to see a video about how your hair changes in between wash days!

[@recklessmermaid]

Do you plop? diffuse? how do you apply products? what kinds of product do you use? how long is your hair? how long have you been following cg (if you are?) If you have a looser curl pattern these things can be the difference between frizzy straight hair and 3a curls :) all these things will impact how your hair curls :)

[@carmencalderondv]

I would like to see what you do tomorrow. Do you comb it? How do you make it look good? I have no issues making it curl, but the next day I look like a lion because I feel I need to comb it or something.

[@Val3nciaga]

Same! Usually most curly girls have the problem of their ends curling but im the total opposite. my roots stay flat ):

[@callistaprairie9703]

Oh yes me too! Always so flat at the roots.

[@marcuslee1547]

Josefin Svedberg hairstylist here. I think your hair is fine. The reason ends don’t curl sometimes is because they are overworked and it’s the oldest hair! Trimming helps and a good product regimen. Lots of naturally curly or wavy ppl have flat hair on top. I have one client that’s straight all over and just curly at the nape! Hair is interesting lol.

[@summrjoy]

I am so happy you shared this video. Since I can remember my hair looks like your hair in the first part of the video. I have always struggled with frizzy waves that have caused me to be self conscious about my hair for YEARS! To ‘fix’ my hair I tend to blow dry, straighten, or curl it but still end up being frizzy. Well in all my baby pics I had an Afro of curly curls!!! I’m definitely type 2b/c but my hair has been mistreated for so long. I’ve started my curly journey and I hope to have pretty bouncy curls like yours some day. Thank you!

[@leannaarmstrong]

Stumbled upon your channel today. At first I was impatient, but then quickly realized what a gem this video is! So informative and great job explaining this. That impatience only shows my lack of knowledge and there is no quick fix to have fantastic hair. It’s a process as you’ve explained. Love it and Now Subscribed ;)

[@NinaBitesBk]

I am subscribing because one day is not the next day and you took the time to explain what to look for at that one moment so that you can make the best hair care choices for that day.

When I was a lil girl, my mother brushed my hair and I looked like at 4 years old, a wild crazy poof out of control. I have long, thick, course, very dry, very curly hair that I try a zillion products trying to "rejuvenate" and moisturize my hair so that my curls have shape, definition without the frizz. I am about to go watch all your videos and attempt to answer my why and what and how questions. THANK YOU so much!!! I learned more from this one video than I have on my own ever!!! 👏👏👏💖.

[@bbxx4689]

I'd love to see a video of your favourite products for specific categories such as favourite moisturising products, protein products, defining products etc!

This was great. I always thought low porosity hair didn't need protein. Thank you!

[@rileypaigemc7018]

I love the Olaplex #3 !! Awesome product ! Thank you so much for this video :]]] I’ve been watching videos and reading articles about the basics of when you need protein vs moisturizer and porosity indications and everything else BUT it was very overwhelming. Seeing you revaluate and make decisions in real time (while your hair is WET) is super super helpful! Thank you !

[@TheGalaxyBelle]

I came across this video because i’m struggling with my hair right now. My texture and curl pattern have changed DRASTICALLY over the past year, and i’m learning what is needed for my hair type and why. There are still many things i don’t know yet (which i thought i did) but experimenting with new products gets confusing and expensive. Could you make a video in the future going in depth what forms of protein in hair products there are, when to use leave-in conditioners, styling creams, gels, according to your hair type? Sometimes i feel overwhelmed doing research on what best suits my hair, using minimal products. Love the curls btw!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I try to avoid going into specifics on other hair types simply because I can’t personally test it. I can however break down products and when to use them etc, generally. What is your hair type? Maybe in the mean time I can point you in the direction of someone similar so you can learn from their experience?

[@rachelwulf7130]

I'm usually the opposite and always can use extra protein but I loved seeing the thought process to determine exactly how much more moisture or protein you need based on how your hair is acting

[@nikkipare2485]

So happy to have found you! I did some pretty offensive damage with bleach on my hair this year after having beautiful, natural hair for 2 years. My curls are RUINED. Hoping to see if Olaplex xan make a difference. I now understand protein and the importance of hydration, etc because of you. THANK YOU!

OMD your curls turned out gorgeous! I have a hard time with my hair at the moment. I always had the typical straight asian hair, but it got curly as I got older. I am still figuring out what to do with my hair, for it to be in its best state possible. But overall it's very hard for me. Wish you could give me some personal tips, because your curls look soo great!

[@brainrotpam]

I know this video is old but I wanted to say THANK YOU! I’m new to taking care of my curly hair and you’re the first person I’ve found to explain when and WHY you need protein!!!

I'd love to hear more about your philosophy about your hair being touched while drying. I have never in my curly life intentionally let my hair air dry so much before putting product on so your whole approach is very new to me. Just curious to know if you are very particular about keeping your drying hair from being touched by your own hands, pulled by putting a shirt on, brushed up against your couch. Any challenges to your current routine? Any reasons for why you do what you do WHILE drying?

[@tundeterez]

Waiting for answers⏳

[@Tripsshetakes]

I put my curly hair in a t-shirt so it doesn’t get touched. Wait till it’s about 50% dry put product in. then back in the shirt again till about 25% dry. The T-shirt absorb the product and also doesn’t irritate the curls like towels do. Then air dry the rest of the time. Try sleeping with a silk pillow case or anything silk against your head and the pillow. Skin shouldn’t mess up the curls. Hope that helps

[@sarahsilva6026]

the reason why your hair is frizzy is because it needs moisture for example when you get out if the shower put in a styler silicone,parabens,sulfate free and that will lock in all the water to make your hair less frizzy you can get Cantu curler activator it smells so good and its a good way to start out!

I tried an aphogee protein treatment once and didn’t really see results but my hair is very moisturized and can get weighed down by products. It’s less and less curly as I get older and harder to get definition and volume. definitely going to have to look at your styling routine. I don’t usually apply product half way through. Then again I’m usually wash and out the door.

I've just started embracing my curly hair, and my biggest hold back is because I'm a water polo player/swimmer I'm in chlorinated water constantly and it makes my hair so dry :/ does anyone have any recommendations

Lmao your hair at the beginning when you basically called it crusty and frizzy is my hair on a daily 😂 And personally I like the dragged though a hedge look bc I’ve just been going with it for the past 20 years, kinda wish I knew how to style it but it’s effort lmao

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Lol hope you don’t take it bad. I actually like my hair like that on occasion and wear it around for a few days. The negative side is that for me it does mean my hair is dry and thirsty as hell 😂

[@TMBAmie]

Jannelle O'Shaughnessy Engels Oh yeah no I get that my hair is always dry and thirsty as hell, I just don’t really know how to make it not like that aha your hair looks lovely both ways though!!

Thank you for this video. It's been really helpful. I have an issue with my hair: the day I wash it, it's all curly and great. But soon as I sleep on it, my hair is all ruined and I have to tie it up again. Now washing my hair is not a quick-pop-into-the-shower affair. It is work. So this overnight undoing of my hard work puts me off, and washing my hair then feels like a task with very less 'returns'. So my question is - what do I do about the flattening of my curls because of sleeping on them? Is there a quick way of bringing them back to life? Or is there a way I can avoid this flattening?

Had to comment when I saw your absolutely fabulous Bulldog. I have 2 now and have had a total of 6 of these guys. Your video really helped me. A lot of good insights. Things that I will put to use myself. Thanks and give the bully a hug for me. So beautiful! You too.=)

By accident, I found channels on hair in general. Yours is the fifth one I'm watching because I'm stunned : the number of views, the production of these videos...I'm thinking about my business, my employees, my children, my friends and family and I'm asking myself : I'm such a lazy person, how could I have achieved this if I had spent so much time and money devising strategies to improve my hair. Yes, your hair have nice curls, but your face is as beautiful after as it was before. So much energy and intelligence to work on something that doesn't help you to be happier, to have better relationships, to be kinder, to be smarter, to be bolder, to feel that you are enough... Frankly, I don't get it. I gave you a thumb up because this is so much work!

The beauty industry is a billion dollar industry & social media IS the future of marketing. FYI. As a business owner thats information you may wish to be aware of. Ironic that you are criticizing educational videos created to help others and also provide an income to their creators while preaching "to be kinder." Funny, the advice we give others is typically the advice we need the most........

So glad I found you! No clue what you're talking about, mostly....I was probably off chasing a puppy when God was handing out the girly genes. I'm clueless about hair but want to learn. I find you very personable. I subscribed and look forward to going through your videos to learn!

[@Pragmaticpianist]

This was such an awesome video!! Thank you!

[@samanthajegenjan4788]

I put aloe vera and coconut oil in my hair and my curls are great and I actually have volume! Thank you

[@shirlaay1991]

This is the first video of yours that I watched and I want to see more! I’m starting my journey to get my curls back and you made me realize that I have to listen to my hair! I’m learning little by little. All I am using right now is Cantu shampoo and conditioner and Cantu. I have 2c/3a hair
