WHY I QUIT THE "CURLY GIRL METHOD" | Jayme Jo

[@tess6047]

Does anyone else have CRAZY curl difference? Some of my hair is strait or 2a and I'm not kidding i also have like 3b curls

[@mussamariam9036]

Same 😓

[@user-vn5vr1mu7x]

Same the top and front of my curls are like 3b 3a and then I have waves in the back of my head 😤😤 the betrayal

[@selmaeganovic7108]

Same, I'm trying to get my natural curls "back" but it's so weird bc of the curl difference and the fact that I have no volume at my scalp.

[@sarai_flakes7031]

Me too, and it always looks bad so I always just put it in a bun

[@reemh.6235]

Yessss same here and it is completely normal ❤😍

[@maddydamant1611]

This video literally explains exactly what happened to me. A few years ago I started transitioning from heat damaged hair to my natural 3A/3B curls (that look very similar to Jayme's). I was using a very heavy shampoo and conditioner that contained both sulphates and silicones and to start with my hair was great, the curls were forming and my hair felt good. Then after around 7 months i noticed my hair felt weaker and thinner and did some research and discovered the curly girl method and the 'damage' that silicones and sulphates do to your hair. I stopped using them completely and purchased the shea moisture coconut and hibiscus shampoo and conditioner. Like Jayme, for quite a while my hair felt good but after a while my scalp got so incredibly itchy, and when i would scratch it i would have loads of buildup under my nails (gross i know!) I was really starting to give up because i didnt know what i was doing wrong. Then i did some more research and learnt about product buildup and why your hair needs sulphates to get rid of it. That wash day, i used a shampoo with sulphates in it and all of the buildup was gone and my scalp didnt feel itchy for the first time in months. Now i use a sulphate shampoo once every two weeks, my hair has got thicker and my curls are even more defined, and the itchiness is gone! I agree that using sulphates and silicones every wash will do damage to your hair, in my personal experiences, but using it once in a while is the only thing that will get rid of product buildup and stop an itchy scalp. Thank you so much Jayme, my curls are looking better than ever thanks to you. I'm sorry this comment is long, but i wanted to share my experiences with other curly girls who may be facing the same problems! xx

[@rachellep2581]

Agreed, I just started curly girl method. I'm in two weeks and my hair is absolutley loving it. My curls had turned to waves by daily flat ironing, now they are turning to beautiful 3b and 3A curls. I'm so excited to see how curly my hair will become. I havent worn my hair natural for more then a day at a time for over 20 years. I'm glad to learn about the CGM, and now know of possible build up and itchy scalp. However like you mentioned if I have buildup or any itch I'll remove it with clarifying. I'll use a apple cider vinegar rinse and or a clarifying shampoo with super mild sulfates before resorting to ending my CGM. My hair absolutly loves no sulfates no parabens and most of all it loves no silicones and natural oils.

[@AI-fl7ml]

[@chaima1908]

Do you only use a shampoo with sulfate every 2 weeks or do you use another shampoo for “regular” cleaning hair days? Thank you for your comment, I realize my scalp has the same issues yours did so I may need to buy a shampoo that has sulfates in it

[@iseydelmar]

Main reason I left the CG method: all the related groups on social media were turning into fundamentalism. People sending death threats to other people just for mentioning shampoo (I'm not kidding). I kept the advice that was working for me (like using a cotton tshirt instead of a towel, only brushing hair when wet, etc) and discarded the rest (like scrubbing my scalp with bicarb and vinegar... that would do for my kitchen counter, not for my skin).

[@mariedevere1232]

Oof I remember when everyone was out for blood if you didn’t follow the CGM. I think overall it has some good advice but I’m not giving up my blowdryer any time soon 😂😂

[@kuramacabre]

I uploaded a video where I showed my amazing results using Head & Shoulders and Pantene and the admins of the group deleted it... Absolute censorship. Is it a support group or a cult?

[@Willowy13]

I gave up silicones/sulfate shampoo and conditioners I used EVERYDAY during 22 years for the CGM method. It destroyed my hair after 5 years. I went from thick, shiny, black and 3b curls to this dry, brittle, no shine, thin, falling and 2C mess. Ditched the method last november and my hair is recovering.

[@Ghost-si3vm]

Wow, what is wrong with that people? I follow CG but that's insane 😠

[@daCubanaqt]

OMG I need to send you my Yelp review of this one stylist. She literally told me that she has drunk the CGM “kool-aid”. Horrible experience that day. I actually didn’t even let her do my hair because she was so CGM crazy. About ten minutes in I got up and left.

This makes me so happy seeing how gorgeous your curls are without the cg method! love you heaps xx

[@KJAlways]

What products were you using? I have been in this for about 5 or 6 years. I had a positive experience. It got better when I found a more compatible shampoo & conditioner.

[@DwynGLopez]

Hello! I have been following the method for over a year now and my hair has never been this healthy. Have you tried using a "low" Poo? There is no need for sulfates if your cleaning routine is good enough. If your hair is fine and with low porosity, probably your scalp will need cleasing more regularly.. Look for cocamidepropyl betaine in your shampoo :) it is not a sulfate but it has great cleansing power.

[@Willowy13]

I used shampoo and conditioner everyday for 22 of my 40 years when I discovered the CGM. After 5 years I stopped as it destroyed my hair.

[@erinlikesacornishpasty4703]

LOL i have wavy hair and when i started trying to transition I only cowashed. It was pretty shocking, so I changed my routine and added a regular shampoo every four weeks. I did peruse the Curly Girl Handbook and honestly I think the excessive "rules" don't actually come from Massey, they come from other people who are trying to interpret and modify the handbook. I don't think Massey herself was actually as obsessed with rules as much as helping to guide naturally curly haired women away from chemical relaxers and constant heat styling, and maybe encouraging more women to stop color their gray hair. And it was more of a "you do you" rather than a "you have to fit this image". And I don't think any of it was meant to be "rules". And I've watched so many women approach the method as if it's a real struggle. It just shouldn't be. If it is, then don't bother and do something else.

[@SueRosalie]

I suspect you are right; I'm waiting for my copy of the book through the post. It's the CurlsScan database that is wrong as well as some of the fanatics on group pages.

[@malimillani42]

So i do a good mix of CGM and normal routine for my 3c curls. I use a shampoo like twice a month and co wash the other times. I dont use silicone on my hair at all and it works. When it comes to brushes, i first finger detangle with conditioner and then use a wide comb.

[@KJAlways]

[@GeezLouise27]

I do not follow the curly girl method, use a shampoo containing surfactants, and I experienced hair loss, scalp irritation , and loss of my curl pattern when I switched my holy grail conditioner for the Deva Curl Decadence Ultra Moisturizing Milk Conditioner. When I went back to my tried and true conditioner, I stopped experiencing hair loss, my scalp healed, and my ringlets are back. Since the only change in my routine was that I swapped my favorite conditioner for Deva Curl, my conclusion is the negative effects I experienced were caused by the Deva Curl Conditioner. Although it is true that improperly cleansing the scalp and hair will show similar symptoms, there is definitely something going on with Deva Curl. I just think it's important not to minimize the seriousness of the claims against Deva Curl.

[@vicltc]

Samee I realized that using products in my curls and “curly hair shampoos” were just not in my budget. My curls look amazing and more voluminous without doing anything to them, as long as I use my denman brush and non-frizzing oil. Sometimes I’ll use my Shea moisture shampoo and conditioner and scrunch some cream or mousse in and diffuse, but only for special occasions. I just hate the feeling of product even though my curls do end up better.

[@elizabethorsillo7187]

I follow a very “modified” version of the Curly Girl Method. I may avoid the products with sulfates and silicones, but I shampoo and condition my hair every other day (my hair and scalp are quite oily) and don’t put in styling products every time. I also brush my hair before washing, and comb or use a Denman brush when styling. I don’t always diffuse, and I sleep on a satin pillowcase. And that is what works best for me. 👩🏻‍🦱

Omg leaving silicone was the best thing i have ever down for my hair. Using conditioner that is silicone free may leave my hair feeling dryer to start with but then after following this for awhile my hair is much healthier. With suflates i use them when i wash my hair. If i use sulfate free shampoo i get smelly hair. I gently brush my hair every morning sometimes with a leave in conditioner and find this really helps my hair. What the curly girl method should really be about is finding what works for your hair and not excluding certain ingredients.

[@toree2398]

Thank you for this video Jayme! As someone with 3c/4a hair, the curly girl method was an awful experience for me. I got so much buildup on my scalp and finger detangling was dreadful (at least an hour of just standing in the shower detangling)! I now use a wet brush (detangling takes between 15-30 minutes on a long wash n go), a sulfate shampoo, and I use silicones and my hair is finally growing. I don't shed even a 1/3 of what I lost while finger detangling. For my sister who has tighter curls, 4a/4b, she loves finger detanling but does experience buildup from not using a sulate shampoo.

I've been following this method for more than a year. The first 8 to 9 months it felt great. I had my hair most moisturized than ever. I used to deep condition every wash cuz my hair used to be so dry. By the 8 or 9th month or so I started to cowash, and my hair was wonderful, or so I thought. Then my hair started to thin and fall like never in my life. I've noticed it when I had lost like 30% of my hair. There I stopped cowashing. My hair still fell like crazy, but a little less. I was noticing a bit of change in pattern an texture, flat roots...I finally tried protein treatments and sulfate shampoo once or twice and month, less deep condition and regular sulfate free shampoo. Now my hair is getting a lil better. Hope it gets back to normal. Your video was the thing I've been needing for so long, here it is.

I do a simpler version of the CGM. I try to only use shampoos with sulphates at least once a month. I shampoo my hair every week to get rid of build up but it’s always nice to get my hair completely clean with a sulphate shampoo imo. My conditioners and stylers are always silicone free and paraben free. This has helped my damaged curls SO much!

[@danielalira1312]

I've been following the CGM for almost 6 months and it's done wonders for my hair (2C-3A). However, I don't follow the "no brushing" rule. Actually, even though every curly youtuber I've seen says you should never brush your hair while it's dry, I brush it before washing my hair. That way it detangles easily without losing too much hair. I also brush my hair dry before going to sleep on day 3 onwards until I wash my hair again because I read somewhere that dry brushing is good for hair growth (and I can tell it's worked).We just gotta find what works for us.

[@urdad1725]

modifications you can use in the curly method: ~ put some oil in your hair before shampooing, and detangle ( not on scalp- on hair) ~ clarify with a sulfate shampoo/ scrub your scalp whenever necessary ~ diffuse instead of air drying, especially if you live in cold countries (keeping the scalp wet for a long period of time can cause infections) ~ put in styling products only when your hair needs them ~ change your hair care routine according to your hair porosity ~ scrunch in a few drops of oil after your hair is 100% dry, to seal in the moisture (SOTC- scrunch out the crunch) ~ if your hair approves, use water soluble silicones(which can be washed off with just water- some even evaporate upon drying) ~ ditch cowashing, if your hair is low porosity ~ if gel weighs your hair down, use a good flaxseed gel or aloevera gel which have lesser hold but are better for your hair

[@christinag4968]

I did it once and I felt disgusting. I have wavy hair so maybe that’s why

[@Camila-hv7ve]

you have to do it a but longer than just once, there are many many aspects to the method.. i have wavy hair as well and i dont cowash for example- but i do use non sulfate shampoo. only use sulfates when i mistakenly use a product with silicones or oil mask. i dont know what you did, but i do know that you have to try it more than just once to see if it works or not :)

[@amina8048]

Girls, its all about the porosity of your hair. Ive got wavy high-porosity hair, too. Cant say I followed all the curly girl method's instructions, however Ive been using organic pure oils on my hair regularly 2-3 times a week, avoiding silicones in all my products (hair and skin) for well over 6 years now. I also tried the co-wash thing for a while, only liked it shortly. My hair is pretty dull, often times it feels really rough and gliding a single hair between my thumb and pointing finger feels so unsmooth (must be opened-up cuticles). Ive also got a very bad hair-breakage problems and nothing helps. Ive been thinking lately.. back in the day we didnt use to look up all the ingredients on our hair products, we used our regular shampoos and some people even used conditioners! Ive never had worse hair in my life :| Just today I read about hair porosity and silicones. Silicones are said to be very good for high porosity hair. Looking back, Ive got to agree.

Thanks so much this! I've only recently started wearing my hair curly again. About 5 years ago I thought the cgm was the only answer and I had curly professional hairdressers tell me I had to pump my hair full of as much moisture as I could. After a year my hair became so weak it started falling out in clumps. My husband thought it was from stress, but I'm such a chill person this didn't make sense to me. I found what you mentioned about the density of your roots getting thinner really eye opening, I think this is what happened! (I also have fine 3a curls) So this time round I'm ditching the hair masks and the leave in conditioners. Your videos are great, thanks for making them!

I’ve been losing a lot of hair but I always shampoo my hair because I workout a lot and just don’t feel clean with co-wash. I also have thin hair, but it looks thick. Not sure why my hair density has decreased... what did your aunty recommend to make your hair thick again?

I have natural hair and I'm literally having the same experience right now! My hair was ok but my scalp was so itchy and irritated. Last month I shaved my hair off because I wanted to focus on my scalp, and although it has gotten better. I will be unfollowing the CGM because my scalp issues began when I started following it! I never had such experience prior to following the CGM. I guess I'm just one of the rare cases of people who's hair reacts good with "unatural" products; whatever that means AND WHICH IS ALRIGHT TO DO! Remeber people to follow whatever is best for YOU!!!!

[@ShyEmpressSerena]

This is such an important video, thank you for making this Jayme Jo you gorgeous creature with perfect curls. The curl cult were big bullies and very strict and they made a lot of money on pushing these products and ideologies which destroyed many curls along the way. I'm so glad the Deva Curl controversy happened, now we can RESET our thinking and care about our curls, which are as individual as we are.

[@am456784]

I have been trying to use the CGM for years now. KZbin videos for curly hair make it seem like it's the only way to get nice curls! I understand that it works for certain hair types but I finally gave up on it a few weeks ago. My hair used to go from nice curls to heavy, dull and frizzy hair and a greasy scalp and I would find it so hard to get it back to it's normal state, even when using sulfates to cleanse it. I have 3a-3b thin curls, very similar to Jayme's and this is my wake up call to stop trying to give the CGM a go. Since going back to sulfates and some silicone my hair is feeling lighter, and stronger and looking shinier. I understand that it works for some people, but it's just not for me. Thank you for making this video!

[@veronicaoberg1722]

Use a clarifying shampoo once in a while (with sulfates but no silicones) and use a scalp massager to massage your scalp and clean it when using a co wash. Or just use a low poo. And again use a clarifying shampoo now and then.

[@AhMusic55]

It also comes down to the hair porosity ! I have type 3b curls high porosity so my hair absorbs what I put on it really quick and my sister is more of thinner but low porosity hair , so she gets more product buildup due to her hair cuticles being so close up that she needs lighter products more H2O and indirect heat ( heat cap when deep conditioning) other wise she gets the itchy scalp because all the products just sit on her hair and scalp.. the type of oils, the placement in your hair, and how fast they penetrate into your hair is key for your hair health.. with that being said, when using silicones ( Dimethicone ect ) my hair gets weighed down, no definition, feels heavy completely the opposite happens when I use silicone free products. When it comes to scalp health I think is about consistency, the more natural thinks you’re putting in the better that does not mean putting 100 products at the same time because they claim they are natural .. our skin is a living organ that absorbs what we put on it... we would not put battery acid in our hearts and pretend it’s going to take it well. The same thing happens with our hair.. CURL FRIENDS, READ, INVESTIGATE, LEARN HOW TO READ THE INGREDIENTS and TO LISTEN TO YOUR HAIR AND BODY !! Hope you are all safe 💕

[@MsSavvy9]

Same. My scalp was so gross... like when I was young and didn't know how to take care of my hair and there weren't specialized products available. I lost so much hair. Now I've been following tips from you and Manes by Mel and though my hair hasn't started growing back yet (feels like when I used to deliberately have it thinned) it's so voluminous, defined and shiny... you would think I still have a ton of hair.

[@ChefsKiss-]

Great video, JJ! Same thing happened to me. I transitioned back in January. After a month of CGM, my 2C/3A wavy/curls were a mess. I almost pulled out my straightening iron... but instead, I bought a sulphate shampoo, new curly styling products and a Denman brush! My hair was like night and day! I found that the key to my texture is definitely scrunching “a lot” with each product I add in from the leave-in conditioner right through to the last step which is a drugstore gel. My hair has never been better! I also get highlights and color! If I get to much crunch, I just gently scrunch out with an Oil, once my hair is absolutely dry.

[@spieterman3065]

Soooo when I did co washing /no poo my hair fell out. Since then I’ve been using shampoo without sulfates but with other cleansing ingredients. At times I use a super cleansing shampoo and/or chelating shampoo at time since we have super hard water here. I do follow parts of CGM, but mostly the no silicones, almost no sulfates. For me I just needed to adjust it to my hair. I also do use a brush. It’s just easier/faster. I like finger detangling and it does minimize my hair breakage but it just takes so longgggg

This is exactly what I'm always saying. If u had damaged hair it might be good to try but after your curls are already back and healthy... It's not necessary. Don't see the point!! I try to use "good ingredients" but idc if some has silicones or whatevs. 💕🙏🏼

[@abbydesouza4933]

With my low porosity hair the cgm will make my hair look like a greaseball 😢

[@kuramacabre]

I had low porosity before I dyed my hair and it was a nightmare. Try using a shampoo with sulfates, a moisturizing conditioner (and maybe a hair mask), a light leave in with protein and ZERO coconut oil. It was super drying for my hair.

[@laexploradoraaaXD]

I stopped using the CGM about 6 months ago. I still use sulfate and silicone free shampoos and conditioners, but not exclusively. I clarify every 3-5 washes. I listen to my hair. If it needs strengthening, I use products with proteins (amino acids, hydrolyzed... Whatever). If it needs hydration, I'll use my hydrating stuff. I'm glad that people are looking into the chemicals used in cosmetics, but chemicals aren't the enemy! Some of these ingredients are highly effective and have decades of research to back claims. Using a brush cuts down on time (and stress). It gives me definition. Using a diffuser reduces frizz. Everyone's hair is different, and different products are going to give different results. Personally, I have fun mixing and matching and creating a routine that works for my particular needs. Great video!

[@itzluhh1094]

[@ginaorange]

I have had the book for years and have lent it to friends with wavy hair and it changed their lives for the better, giving them definition. However I have fine 3B-C hair and using the cleansing protocol reduces my hair’s volume and definition. On the positive side, it can make it more manageable, less frizz and more long and flowy because it stretches out my curls into beachy elongated ringlets. I haven’t found any curl method yet that consistently works for me. It seems like my good hair days are just random and unrepeatable. It’s easier to just blow dry it straight.

[@pcru6851]

Before I found this once a month routine my hair was very high porosity, easily got split ends, and bad breakage at the roots. I lost a lot of hair density. The worst was a large bald spot with little wispy hairs. Right behind my hairline. My scalp was clearly visible. Clarify hair (Ion Hard Water Shampoo $13 at Sally's), Olapex #3 ($30 Sephora. I let my hair marinate all night then light gentle shampoo out), Aphogee Two-Step Treatment the only silicone product i use (large bottle lasts a long time $25 at Sally's follow directions), Intense Moisturizing deep conditioner ($13 at Sallys walmart or target shea moisture manuka honey) Ion Hard Water Shampoo- It's sulfate free. Strips hair of everything even hard water and mineral build up without excessive drying out the hair. No brittle feeling. Allowing for a clean product free hair to receive the protein better. This shampoo helps hair with volume and shine. Olaplex #3 Hair Treatment- Strengthens hair from the inside. Restoring broke bonds inside hair caused by heat damage, dying hair and just normal wear and tear. you'll also have a tighter curl. Aphogee Two-Step Treatment- Put product in a spray bottle. (Product is watery) will work on all hair types. But Great for high porosity, heat damaged and/or dyed hair. Strengthens and protects hair from the outside. Reinforcing it with Protein. Think of a pot hole filled street (High porosity - normal porosity). Aphogee 2 step protein treatment fills in the pot holes causing hair to be stronger, smoother, shiner, less tangle prone (so less split ends), tightens curls, less breakage over all, and literally holds moisture for days. No holes no moisture loss. Deep condition- Do deep condition with heat last. Because protein fills in the pot holes. Clarifying allows the protein to stick and hold better to the hair. The moisture will not escape as easily, so deep condition last. If you don't deep condition with a moisturizing conditioner (NOT A PROTEIN based conditioner you don't need more protein you need moisture right now) your hair will be dry and brittle then it can snap off. Hair should feel stronger inside and out, look thicker, shiner, less tangled and have a tighter curl. I do this once a month. I have 3b, medium density, normal porosity, fine strands.

I also went through something similar recently, basically I had buildup in my hair, which made it look greasy and dry at the same time. I don't use shampoo, or very little, and even that didn't take care of the problem. I resorted to using baking soda, and it removed all the buildup, it's crazy. I think all the styling products I used ended up making my hair look absolutely horrendous, which is the opposite of what they're supposed to do. While I don't follow the curly hair method to a letter, I do think that sulfates or silicones might help keep your hair in good shape, just used sparringly. And clarifying is sooo important.

Hi Jayme, I totally agree with you - all 'NO NO and NO" in CGM are not for everyone and I personally think that cleansing the scalp and hair only with conditioner (special heavier - I never cut off shampoo - for me, it is even just imagine that - no way) is a BIG NO for me!!! I want clean scalp and simply my hair love silicone and brushes....if I cut all at them out - I don't have hair - I have a hot frizzy mess and not my waves/curls on my head (of course I don't prefer tons of silicone in everything - just little bit in one product is ok I think - if it work...at least for me). I have very fine hair and I need to remove all products out and have no product build-up - if I want volume and a good feel. YOUR HAIR ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING - so beautiful.

The shea moisture coconut and hibiscus mousse has always worked really well for me since it adds hold and volume. Also this product is for moisture more than for hold, but the Cantu curl activator cream is my favorite leave in conditioner. It's like six dollars and adds shine and moisture. I usually don't diffuse my hair, so to make it dry a bit faster and not be so weighed down at the roots I like to plop my hair with a T-shirt (there are videos on KZbin that show how to do this). Since your hair is transitioning you should try finger coiling a few curls for definition. Hopefully this helps you! Btw, my hair type is 2c 3a, fine, and medium to low density.

A few months aho I was dealing with a lot of scalp issues as well, I had really dry, itchy and flakey scalp with greasy roots. What really helped me was the "African black soap, bamboo, charcoal" shampoo from Shea moisture. It's a more scalp focused line from the brand, that is not talked about often. I also started to regularly (once a week) do a over-night oil pre-poo for my scalp with jojoba oil + castor oil. Jojoba oil is very similar to our natural oil sebum and will penetrate and hydrate the scalp. It's very light weight and will wash out with the shampoo. As result of these two things my scalp is not acting out anymore and I don't get oily hair anymore either!

[@SueRosalie]

You are quite right and the hard-liners have no training in hair chemistry or cosmetic chemistry. It's true that curly hair is dryer and more fragile than straight hair and we need to treat it more like a cashmere sweater. It's fine to use shampoo when needed and you can get a build up of natural oils anyway. It's also find to brush when needed ie. a good brush like Denman. It's damaging to leave your hair soaking wet for long periods of time. Ignore the CurlScan database because their simplistic rules are wrong and fail to take into account how ingredients interact. Also you can't read an ingredients label the same way as food labels and judge ingredient amounts that way, cosmetic chemistry doesn't work like that.
