Hope you guys enjoy this video! I’m not an expert, I just got this info from doing some research online! If you have any tips to add, feel free to leave them below! 😘

[@cmart1na]

Joy Before Her thanks for this! Question, do you use the heavenly choice pre-poo AND the oil or do you pick one that you just use one at a time?

[@missymell1118]

So random but has anyone told you, you look soo much like Beyoncé?!!! Lol it’s crazy

lol but you are very beautiful! My mom has curly hair and she is trying to embrace it, so I found your videos. Absolutely amazing, you are so great and genuine and I.am really glad I found your Channel!!! Keep doing what you are doing!!! ❤️

[@spenglase]

I am new to cg but I believe we have similar hair (even the differences in texture from front to back)! I love your channel and am so grateful for women like you who put themselves out there so we can learn! Thank you!

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Stephanie Penglase Aww I’m so glad! Thank you for watching!💖

[@sydneylynn]

These are great tips!! I’ve been wetting my hair a lot lately cause it’s so dry here but I need to stop and just do some styles! I also love that lipgloss! Which kind is it?

[@odalysadrianachano9495]

Every time I watch you I feel like I’m chatting with a friend. Love your videos ! Could you make a video on protein sensitive hair and porosity?

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Odalys Chano Aww thank you that means so much! 😊💖 I’ll try to look it up, I don’t know much about protein sensitivity. But in the meantime check out my friend CurlieGirlie143, she has protein sensitivity and makes videos on here and Instagram talking about it

Can you do an updated curly hair routine ?

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Lydia Robinson Right now I don’t use anything new. My favorite line to use for wash and go’s at this moment, is the Ouidad VitalCurl line which I did a video on. But if I get any new products I like, I’ll make a video.

[@MarlenaAlicea1024]

Thank you for this info Kelly. This has been super helpful. I have short hair and find that I have to wet it a bit each day to refresh. Do you have any tips on preventing hydrofatigue for this?

[@amarilysdiaz2225]

I wet my hair everyday to reactivate my curls thanks for the tip i had no idea that water damage even existed

[@Briannafrancis-e9g]

Trust me it's OK to spray a little to reactivate the curls.. Or else How would you fix the weird curls from sleeping in them? Just do it.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Why, relax grandma

[@Creativehomedesigns]

Amarilys Diaz oh yeah that’s completely different that’s fine

[@KJAlways]

This sound like advice for people with high porosity hair. Sounds like good advice for people who put chemicals and heat in their hair or transitioning. I appreciate being reminded to change my water that I use in my hair and hoping it will make a positive difference from using softer and filter water instead of the hard water my state provides. My hair loves water and won't respond to any products without water because I have low porosity hair.

[@babydev1989]

Need to watch this a few more times and take notes. Lol thanks for the tips!!

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Jennifer Monzon Yay😊 thank you for watching!

[@lisaaraheme]

Your hair is GORGEOUSSS!! Thanks for sharing hun!! xx

[@Alexoyt4]

Thank you for yet another informative video! All the negative things contributing to hygral fatigue that you mentioned I’ve been experiencing and I will try to stop further damage....however I’m wanting to know if doing so my hair will ‘reverse’ the effects or will be strengthened back to its normal curly state again?

[@JoyBeforeHer]

• Alexandra • Yes from what I’ve read, adding protein to your hair over time will help to strengthen it back to its natural state. But do some more research to see what you could do cuz I’ve never had it so I’m not completely sure.

[@05drea86]

I love the shampoo brush i can’t life without it anymore lol. Do you cowash or actually use a low poo? Do you clarify your hair?

[@JoyBeforeHer]

05drea86 I haven’t found a good co-wash I like yet 😕 so I rarely do it. I’ve used DevaCurl one condition a few times which wasn’t bad. But usually I wash with a clarifying shampoo because I’ve been able to stretch out my wash & go’s for longer (yay), so by the time I wash, I really need it to be clean.

[@ashleetucker2539]

What about if your hair is icky where you rest your head on your pillow and/or crown? Do you put conditioner on that part?! Or use a different product? I sleep with a wrap most nights, I do know I need to invest in a silk pillow case though!! 😂 It still seems my hair is the frizziest in the back of my head

[@monicafranzoi481]

I found you!!!!!! I was looking for someone like you for a loooooooong time, and I finally found you! 😍

[@ryanadiaz4229]

Love the video! Thanks for the tips. I personally don't like being with wet hair for a long period of time. I also can't use much conditioner on my roots cuz I'll lose volume. Cuz my hair has different textures and in the roots tends to be more loosen. I've been trying to my volumizing and lifting products here in Puerto Rico. But haven't found one. But anyways I enjoy your videos so much. Love and blessings 💜💕

[@UnsuccessfulYoutubr]

I have really bad hypofatigue but also low porosity hair should I still use more proteins?

[@deliaisaac805]

I tried to help research this and kept hitting walls because low porosity often means protein sensitive as well. A happy middle is the use of coconut oil as a pre-poo because it has protein but not an overloading amount. Applying heat to open the cuticle is good to help soak up the oil and let out some of the moisture. Something else is Humectants, which attract moisture and maybe avoiding those in your products like, honey, agave and glycerine until your hair goes back to normal may be helpful.

[@Josh-el1lr]

Wowwww beautiful curlssssss😍. Lmao sorry I stay confused with whether your hair is 3a or 3b. Looks like it switches every video lol😂

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Josh George I know right lol. My hair is interesting, it looks different every time I style it. My curl pattern has 2c, 3a, and 3b curls. Depending on which products I use, they look a little tighter or a little looser.

[@ryanadiaz4229]

OMG i also relate to this! 💜💕

[@mellenyg3669]

Could you do a winter care video? I'm originally from southern California and moved to germany recently and never dealt with cold weather like this before.

Do you still using the Denman brush?

[@tracyacosta-gutierrez1755]

Have you ever tried LUS brand (Love your curls)? I would love to know what you think.

[@katangel8329]

That was very informative,beautiful curly girly ;-) I deffo need protein,and a lot of it.Do you apply the pre-poo oil on previously washed and dried hair? 'Cos otherwise applying it on top of all the styling products doesn't make any sense. That's the only reason I don't pre-poo so often, it's a double work, I have to wash out at least the styling products,let it dry,apply the oil, wait and then wash again this time with shampoo. It's an odyssey.If you know better way,please share, I'll appreciate it muchly.

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Thank you! Pre-poo is only to be done on dirty hair before washing it. Some people might do it the day before and leave the oil in for longer, but I usually do it around an hour before washing my hair.

[@katangel8329]

@@JoyBeforeHer thanks for answering back. Yes, I've heard that some people would apply the oil on dirty hair,but I can't see how the oil would get to your hair with all the styling products, natural oil and dirt that has been accumulating through the week (provided that you wash once a week). I don't know, I'm not a specialist -just applying some common sense.

[@JoyBeforeHer]

Katya Angelova The oil is meant to protect the hair from being stripped of its natural oils during the shampoo process. It also works to help detangle. Despite everything else that has been on your hair, oil seems heavier so it gets in there. So it doesn’t matter if you have product in your hair, the oil coats the hair helping it to be more manageable and moisturized before washing

Hi, quick question. I’m in the military and have my hair up 5/7 days. I was my hair pretty much everyday. But I have product buildup and flakes as well. What do you recommend I do? I tried washing every other day but I don’t like how my hair feels with all the product. Any advice would be much appreciated

[@moniquegebeline4350]

Marilyn Mendoza try those pony holders that look like phone cords they are much easier to pull curly hair up you probably won’t even need to wet it or add product (maybe just to smooth the front).

[@ThePhoenixTube007]

Thank you so much for this video it was so helpful.

[@asleep97]

Have you ever tried Shea Moisture Strength & Restore Conditioning Design Foam? Does it compare it at all to Devacurl Frizz-free Volumizing foam?

[@catarinamendes9514]

I also get a lot of flakes, do you have any tips? I feel like it has gotten worse now that it is cold or maybe it’s something in my routine? Pls help! Do you think that scalp massager is really important? I can’t find it where I live so I would have to order it online which is not that easy here

[@AnaGonzalez0717]

Catarina Mendes just wanted to reply Incase no one else replies to you. If you have flakes, a scalp massager is extremely helpful! Before I found out about scalp massagers, I would use tea tree oil to help with my scalp. I would dilute it with water but it depends on your skin and hair type I have hear of people just rubbing it on there fingertips and spreading it through their scalp but because my scalp gets so dry my scalp would burn if I did that so u had to dilute it. I also get very bad flakiness during the winter because of the cold just like my skin gets dry. Where I come from, it’s a very common misconception that it’s because you have dirty hair that you get flakies but washing your hair too often actually makes it a lot worse. Also if you have flakiness year round, it may be due to the shampoo you use. Hope this helps.

[@JoyBeforeHer]

The scalp massager has really helped to decrease my flakes but it has it taken them away. Still trying to find a cure lol

[@catarinamendes9514]

Ana Gonzalez thank you so much! I might give the scalp massager a try if I can and a few oils and see if it helps

[@catarinamendes9514]

Joy Before Her I’ll see if I can find a scalp massager online for a good price then, even if it just decreases that’s great because the flakes are getting annoying. Thank you for your answer!

[@Briannafrancis-e9g]

But we don't wanna dry it up true? We need it wet to get our curls. Plus putting that after the products it absorbs the product. I will stick to the micro fibre

Heyy, i have a question to all of you. I am currently going natural and i have wavy hair. I would say that i have 2b hair at this point but i know that it can be a 2c/3a when i continue the curly girl method. But i don’t really know what to use. Like what brands and products. For example would you recommend cantu or devacurl for wavy hair. And should i use a gel, leave in, mousse or all of these. I need helppp, thank you! xox

[@bellx.x_3507]

Nomi Vreman to moisturise hair try using a light leave in conditioner or/and curl creame. i would suggest shea moisture, cantu and maui moisture, u should be able to find these in the drugstore. after u moisturise your hair use a mousse or gel to hold your waves and it will make them last longer x i dnt hv a recommendation for the mousse or gel but im sure u can find some from the brands i mentioned :)

[@bellx.x_3507]

Nomi Vreman devacurl would be the best option but it is EXTREMELY pricey, two products could cost £60 or something. The drugstore products work almost or even the same x

[@nomilaa]

Belkíse x thank you soso much! This really helps me!! X

[@marisolbarbosa2397]

For stylers I like to use a hair smoothie (Maui moisture is my fav) and then for a gel I like to use the LA looks extreme sports gel and after it dries it might be crunchy but if you scrunch it out I’ll be fluffy and nice! Leave-in is basically like a hair smoothie except wayyy lighter so I don’t know if your hair gets weighed down easily so chose what works for you. I like to use the Shea moisture frizz free foam (instead of mousse) on days I don’t wash my hair . Hope this helped!

[@perolikewhytho7174]

Devacurl has a sale where you can buy 4 products for $65, not including shipping. I had $100 worth of items in my basket and it was only $65. It doesn’t include large sizes like the liters, just the normal sizes. It ends today though so hurry if you’re interested! :) p.s. it’s funny that your comment is exactly me and my hair right now lol
