My Curly Hair Journey

[@gwenhyfarbeati]

"if you don't have curly or wavy hair naturally... devacurl will not make your hair curly" is honestly a statement i need to hear RN. i learned recently that i probably have wavy hair, and can get and keep waves with curly girl methods, and yet i keep thinking "but are they real though? am i just making my hair wavy and it's fake but staying around because of this stuff?" but like... it's probably not the case at all. it's probably just... wavy, and finally has the moisture + lack of BRUSHING THE HECK OUT OF IT that it needs.

[@goomee]

You just put into words my own insecurities all throughout my curly journey!

[@Xena9002]

Haha so this is what I had been feeling. I thought I had been faking my curly ish hair because I use cantu product.

[@TheDutchOracle]

I felt the same at the beginning of my wavy/curly hair journey. But that was all because I thought I had bad behaving straight hair, coming from a straight haired family that taught me to brush and brush again when my hair misbehaved. What obviously made the problem worse... Now I know that wavy is a curltype and not a bad sort of straight hair. And since I treat my hair as curly my hair thanked me by becoming even curlier.

[@paulinaz454]

I feel the exact same way, I feel like if everyone did my hair routine they could get the 2c/3a hair type I end up with. But then I realized that’s also not the case because my hair closest to my face is very loose waves and almost straight. I know, it’s ugly and doesn’t match the rest of my 2c hair but no matter what I do I just can’t seem to get it wavy! I scrunch and apply a lot of product but it ends up straightening a few minutes later naturally.

[@TheDutchOracle]

pz You could try to fingercurl and pin the straight parts while drying your hair and take it down after it's dried

[@destielsimpala7738]

i started this method almost 4 weeks ago and i started at a 2a but now my hair is more of a 2b/2c mix (with a couple 3a pieces) and im super excited to continue to see it become healthier

[@---qo9kj]

Destiels Impala how is it now?

[@han-mg9eq]

My hair right now looks exactly how your hair looked before. My hair is color and heat damaged and I’m starting to treat my hair a lot better. I had tight ringlet curls when I was a little kid, then it became wavy/straight, and now it’s a lot wavier. My mom has insanely curly hair and I’m just hoping and praying that if I start following the curly girl method and I lay off of the heat and dye, my hair will eventually become curly. Fingers crossed lol

[@lydiagrace9676]

Hannah Elizabeth Yes my fingers are crossed for you as well!!! Can’t wait to hear how it all works out!

[@CLou-zy3ut]

Hannah Elizabeth did it work out?

[@memesmorales2499]

How is your hair now?

[@JillDawsonn]

OMG I HAVE THE SAME THING my sisters would straighten my hair allll the time and now that I’m in the 8th grade my hair is getting curly again

[@Emily-hp1ke]

My hair used to be straight, but it has started to wave/curl but my mom and sister, who both have stick straight hair, are convinced it is straight with a little bit of wave. We just got into an argument because they refuse to let me try different products, because it's supposedly a waste of money, and I'm trying to act like my friend who has had really curly hair since birth. They say I don't do my research and ya de ya de yada. My hair looks like your before pictures and it's curling more. They are so infuriating though!!

[@CathrynDianne]

You have such beautiful hair! I didn’t start embracing my curls until I was 19 (I’m only 20 now). Can’t wait to see them transform more in the future

[@Lynnee2001]

Cathryn Dianne i used to get bullied so much for my curly hair so i would keep it in a bun alot of the time. But when i turned 15 i started likeing it.

[@amixeblu]

I started my natural wavy/curly journey in my 30s; yes it took me that long!

[@ioanaciuca9732]

Marleen G. I’m 25 and just started 😅 I feel you

[@hollysturge2815]

I started the curly girl method about 2 months ago and my hair is in that weird phase where it’s curly/wavy when wet, but the curls then fall out when it dries and it becomes frizzy. I used to have curls like yours when I was a baby and I’m hoping it goes back like that. Your videos are really helping me!! ❤️

[@kaylaglore3420]

Hmm. This is interesting because I've noticed that over the past couple years, my straight hair has become wavy with curls at the nape of my neck. I've switched to healthier shampoo and conditioner over the past couple years and now I wonder if my hair is naturally curly and I dont know it...

[@lydiagrace9676]

you never know until you try!

[@michaelcus734]

I use cantu and it works perfectly for me, but like you said everyone's different. I really wanna try devacurl but it's so expensive.

[@user-rd4iv2rw2y]

Michael Cus Cantu will dry up your hair, maybe try using something new I guess

[@michaelcus734]

EruditeEm works perfect on my hair. But I'll definitely try out more new products in the near futurw

[@iv6tte831]

Michael Cus SAMMMEEE😂😭💖!!

[@lizsucksatgaming]

It is suuuper expensive but so worth it. I actually make the cost worth it because I don't wash my hair every day.

[@gillustrative]

My mom got the sample size set (still costs). The "no-poo" made my hair so greasy. It could just be that I have fine hair, or that I have low porosity hair (some products just sit on my hair rather than soaking it up). Or maybe it's just not used to it, I dunno.

[@franny7530]

this gives me so much hope as i start my cgm journey. I totally related with the way you didn't think your hair was curly. its easy to be discouraged at the beginning. but i'm excited seeing your progress

[@ness3767]

After watching this i just have a huge feeling that my hair could possibly be more curly than i thought. It looks like your before pictures right now. Id love to see what my hair really looks like.

[@PaulinaAspljung]

I love your hair and I just subscribed to you :) I'm in the middle of my transitioning atm. I wish my hair will become like yours one day :) Right now it's just straight and a little bit curly in the roots. :(

[@lydiagrace9676]

Paulina Beauty stay faithful you got this beautiful!!!

[@KODoch48]

Paulina Beauty - If you have been dying and/or using hot tools a lot, that's why it's straight on the lower end (damaged area) and curly at the roots (new growth you've been pampering). Just so you know not to give up! The straight ends can be "retrained" to remember the curl pattern, but you should keep working at it and trimming it off little by little as it will never actually be as healthy as your virgin growth! You might know all this already, but if not ...! Hang in there (from another life-long CG 😀👍🏻)

[@mikaylacummins2482]

KO-Doc48 I always wondered why my hair dried like that...

[@winterleaves14]

Are you 2c/3a?? How did you get such a volume?? I'd really love to know, my roots are always flat.

[@Z.Berfin]

winterleaves14 she is 3a

[@lydiagrace9676]

winterleaves14 yeah i would say i’m 3a and of you go watch my q&a video i talk about volume(:

[@taylormarie5316]

Just me same! Like my hair is curly/wavy but the top of my head is flat and my curls don’t start for a couple inches :’(

[@eve7529]

she might wash upside down, she has high layers i can imagine, get dry cuts and ask for high layers, and she might diffuse.

[@nuria9141]

@Just me I had the same problem until i got it wet cut in layers. Sometimes it doesn't curl on the roots because of the weight of your own hair, so layers help a lot with that. Mine curls from the roots now.

[@karenreyes8348]

You’re not dramatic😭😭❤️👏that was the most beautiful thing I’ve heard about loving natural curly hair

[@maggot95100]

Your hair used to look just like mine does rn and it is honestly giving me so much hope even though i'm literally only beginning to treat my hair right. Devacurl is kinda expensive though and where i'm from doesn't have it in any of the hair care product stores. Is getting rid of sulfates and silicones + deep conditioning and using oil enough to restart the curls?

[@lydiagrace9676]

yah that is totally enough!

[@CypherForest]

This gives me so much hope, working on getting my curls back to what they used to be .

[@missautumn764]

Yay, a young/small channel and I've found you anyway! Thank you KZbin for suggesting this video. Subbed! Your hair is gorgeous. I'm considering trying out the curly girl method..

[@carolinen5659]

You are BEAUTIFUL!! I always straightened my hair cause I thought it was just poofy cause I always brushed it. It wasn’t until last summer I realized I have curly hair. I’m still trying to find the best products to get my hair to its natural state, this helped so much!!!

[@coleashlynn]

I have curly hair, kind of like yours, but I don't really know how to style it. When I get out of the shower, the more it dries, the less curly it gets and it gets kind of frizzy. I've been using the "curly girl method" for over a year now and haven't seen any major results. I'm not really sure what else to do.

[@lydiagrace9676]

Cole Wells What products have you been using ??

[@sohairel-geziry2067]

Hello :) I had the same issue about frizz until I started using a hair mask (Shea butter) instead of conditioner during the shower then putting a small amount of either cream or serum on mid-length to ends while scrunching. Its given me a small change but it’s a step further. Hope this helps ^_^

[@doglovingirl]

Do you put product in it before it dries? You might need a holding cream or gel

[@clarissastratton878]

Cole Wells has

[@timechangeseverybody3608]

Clarify shampoo once a month. Build up causes tons of frizz... You need some curl defining gel

[@dancingappaloosa8926]

You are so beautiful and so natural, and your hair is gorgeous! Just been transitioning from not bleaching and not using heat on my curly hair for a few months now. Got a major cut yesterday at the hairdresser and my curls have bounced back so much!

[@PassionforDreaming]

My hair has always been really curly but I didn't embrace it until college. I never went through a phase of straightening my hair often because it would take a looooong time but I did secretly wish my hair was straight. I'm not sure what to do as far as a haircut goes. I've had my hair both long and short but never really had a style. It's kind of just there lol Do you ever do different hairstyles (updos, half up, etc) or do you primarily leave your hair down?

[@lydiagrace9676]

you can watch my curly hair hairstyles videos on my channel to see what I do(;

[@abigailcraig1147]

I want my hair to look like yours 😍😍😍

[@Khoza]

your hair is beautiful! glad you found your curls again! :)

[@amethystluna2999]

Thank you so much boo❤️😘you made me so much encourage and build my self esteem❤️my dad don't have curly hair even my mom but my mom's sister have curly hair! And when I looked into my childhood pictures I found that my hair was really really curly like 3b or 3c when I was a baby and i remember hating my curls😢and started straightening it on my teenage years 😭that was the biggest mistake I ever made right now i don't use any heat but I need to buy some new healthy shampoos and conditioners my hair is kinda wavy right now But just few days ago I felling really down on myself there was a girl in KZbin I couldn't remember her name but she said that though you had curly hair as a baby you might not have curly hair right now, your hair isn't curly it's damaged and frizzy and that thing😞😞just broke my self esteem alot💔 But you gave me great tips to embrace my curls and take care of my hair thanks boo😘❤️💋love you alottttttttttttttt❤️🤗🤗♥️ xxxxx

[@PhoebeN222]

I’m literally exactly where you were at the beginning of your journey and I just started my journey back to my curls a week ago. This really gives me hope that I can heal my hair.

[@lydiagrace9676]

yes girl there is always hope!!

[@cherylharne5886]

I had the same experience, only I'm discovering my curly hair at 40. I always thought my hair was straight or straight /wavy, but turns out it was just heat damaged. Now it looks almost exactly like yours, only not quite as thick.

[@PHlophe]

Cheryl you are probably discovering because you realized at 40 that you've hit the "maintenance mode" and if you mess with it , it'd be a solid decade until you'd grow 5 inch on a bare scalp. I really don't understand why y'all are trying to force hair to behave in a way they were never intended to. Curls are god given and natural .

[@lagatita1623]

Hello! I've been straightening my hair for over 15 years. Never liked the hard/ wet look of gel and mousse. Straight was in when I was growing up. For various reasons I'm now wearing it wavy (and growing it out) thank good for KZbin and cream products! I like your candid style and your " before" waves are kinda where I'm at now. I only started about 2 months ago looking at your waves now gives me something to look forward to. I hear it can take up to a year to see your true curl pattern. Btw I used to braid mine too it looked nice but anything's better than straightening.

[@مسلسلاتتركية-ل3ز5غ]

Can you please explain how you don't brush your hair? I brush my hair once or twice a day everyday and would have a huge knot of hair if I didn't? Also when do you brush your hair and how?

[@fionaxx8645]

my twin sister’s hair is super curly (mostly bc she doesn’t brush it) and mine has always been wavy with curly tips. I definitely want to try this out to see if I have curls!

[@callmeswivelhips8229]

I have like a tight 2b ish type wave. It doesn't form those spirals until it gets down to my shoulders. But the thing is if I don't do something to "activate" the waves, they really don't appear. My hair just has these somewhat thick body waves on it's own, As it gets really long, it turns back into those 2 dimensional S-type waves. Anyone else's hair like this?

[@hawkrine_]

Call Me Swivel Hips the length is probably weighing it down, if you’re willing to choose curly over length you could cut it a bit shorter, or get layers, which helps bring out curls more!

[@HM-xe3mq]

I have similar. The back of my hair is like a 2c wave. But the front is more 3a because ringlets are starting to form. 4 months into the CG method and i'm already seeing the slightest difference. I recommend you just follow the CG method (curly girl method) and avoid the bad ingredients. Getting short layers might help

[@callmeswivelhips8229]

Oh I wash my hair with nothing but water. Though I have been thinking about green tea rinses and onion juice treatments. Maybe even rice water. I also do not like layers in my hair. I wish I had 2c hair, but I really don''t. I see the most definition on my current routine. I get definition all the way to my crown, so I know I've really maxed out for now. But my hair is still short. So I will see more spirals as it continues ot grow in over the next year. That's cool you're seeing results though. I hear the CG method really works when coming off a conventional routine!

[@hawkrine_]

Call Me Swivel Hips is your hair still 2b ish?

[@HM-xe3mq]

Call Me Swivel Hips, you ONLY wash with water???? No, if you don't wanna use shampoo, you can use conditioner. Co washing will bring out your curls more. I haven't tried it, but all reviews say it worked for them

[@annabellajazmyne9815]

My hair is on the way to being like urs but i little more volumous. I've been on my curly hair journey for about a year now and it has come a LONG way. If you stay commited to it, you will eventually achieve the results you want. Never give up !

[@mersaursula]

This was so inspiring, you’ve got amazing hair!! Love the video!!

[@TheKasiulap]

You are the cutest and the most true real person I've seen so far on KZbin

[@lydiagrace9676]

Kasia P. aw thank you so much beautiful 💛💛💛

[@internalinrockee]

your hair is gooooorgeous~~~ I can't wait for my devacut, I hope my transformation is as beautiful as yours!

[@sweetheart101227]

I am absolutely in LOVE with your curls. They're stunning! Your hair journey sounds about like mine. After having my daughter all of the hormones changed my hair, especially my curls. So I'm definitely going to give these products a try!

[@catherinethomas4747]

i had tight ringlets until i was 4 and then my hair went straight. my hair doesn’t know what it’s doing anymore because some times it’s wavy and other times it’s just straight. my mom has wavy hair and my brother has curly hair and my dad has straight hair. do you think my hair could become more wavy if i use the right products?

[@lanaissa5504]

Catherine Thomas yeah it could

[@lanaissa5504]

Try finger coiling it helps a lot

[@oliviaz5545]

so my mom has super curly hair and my dad has straight hair and my hair has always been sort of wavy and more recently i’ve discovered that it’s straight at the roots, wavy in the middle and slightly curly at the bottom, when i scrunch my hair or put it up in a turban. do you think full curls are a possibility if i start to treat it with the right products? love your video by the way (i also straightened my hair for about 3 years prior to this, currently a sophomore in high school)

[@ilahmache]

A salon severely damaged my curly hair by over processing. I retrained my curls as you said by using products with no sulfates, silicones, or parabens as well as scrunching and diffusing. Add regular trims on top of that and it's getting better. Thank you for your video!

[@snapshotshawna1548]

I'm wondering if my hair is supposed to be curly because my hair has always been a big poof ball with some waves and I can never seem to get it to look naturally pretty (looks dry and frizzy and straight wavy)? But my hair is damaged very badly right now... Haha I love curly hair and I hope it is.

[@HaoHao-zu6su]

Snapshot Shawna start using the right products and find out !

[@HaoHao-zu6su]

And update us

[@snapshotshawna1548]

Rochha Hemp I'm going to wait until I finish my shampoo and conditioner now. But afterwards I will! :)

[@KODoch48]

Snapshot Shawna - If your shampoo and conditioner contains sulfates and silicones, you're only damaging more new growth by continuing to use them just to "use them up"! Remember hair on average only grows 1/2 inch a month and only 1" a month for the truly lucky! Why continue to ruin your new hair for the sake of a product? Give it away to a straight haired friend instead and start repairing your already damaged hair and saving your new growth now!

[@snapshotshawna1548]

KO-Doc48 thank you for your feedback. :)

[@PatriotToby]

Good video! It’s really encouraging to see how your curls developed.Keep working on the videos. Maybe you could watch indiabatson, curlypenny and danagagliotti’s videos for ideas and inspiration. :)

[@alinaamin7674]

i watch them

[@TheDutchOracle]

Hee hee I subbed them all 😁 You should also check out Ayesha Malik. Maybe not our hairtype exactly but she's absolutely beautiful!

[@feelingkevinly]

your hair is amazing! i love your story and your passion for treating your hair the way it should be treated. I'm a hairstylist and this inspires me to help teach my curly clients how to care for their hair at home! thanks! xoxo

[@lydiagrace9676]

thank you so much!! and yay I love passionate people!! and you're so welcome(: xoxo

[@siljehelberg94]

Very inspiring video! I have wavy hair myself and reaaally hope they will develop into curls now that I have discovered the curly girl method and the importance of taking good care of my hair. Hope you will continue to make videos, your personality is a joy to watch on the screen! :)

[@tainamars5378]

I would love t see a video on how you refresh your curls

[@lydiagrace9676]

Taina Negron that is coming up really soon!

[@ciaraelyse]

Your hair is so stunning! You give me some hope that I can get my curls back to how they used to be. When I was little I had ringlets all over but no one else in my family had curly hair so it wasn't taken care of. I've still got plenty of curls but now its a mix of wave and curl and ringlets all over my head... Been using devacurl for at least 6 months now so hopefully I'll see some big improvements moving forward.

[@AW-tv6nq]

Ciara Van Wormer Don’t use deva curl! Look up Deva curl Drama :(

[@VeronicaAnne]

I just found you and at the perfect time. I am on a hair journey at the moment and just uploaded a before/after of the DevaCut and honestly you are such an inspiration to me! I needed this video in my life and I am so appreciative. Love and light to you!

[@lydiagrace9676]

AW this is so encouraging to hear!! I'm excited for you that you're "embarking" on this curly hair journey!

[@courtneyhaas9286]

My daughter is Lydia Grace as well! Obviously love your name! :) I'm just starting the curly girl method and this has given me so much hope!

[@GotineMushu]

Hello ! Can you show us, a vidéo on all your product who helps you too have theses curls ? Like, except Deva Curls, what do you do ? Coconut oil mask ? I'm so sad, that there's no Deva Curls hairdresser in France ! Except maybe Paris ! I'm sorry if my english isn't perfect, i hope you understand me ! Thank you for this vidéo ! 😘

[@lydiagrace9676]

Margot Ma yes i will put one of those videos in the running(: and you are so welcome

[@gracez593]

Oh my god you have the most beautiful curls!! That colour is on point, is it natural or do you put colour on?

[@bumblybeesknees5509]

I wish I knew about the curly-girl stuff about.. 5 years ago. When I still had a bunch of hair. Finding all of this has convinced me it's time to grow out the mane again. See who she really is.

[@bumszakalaka938]

My hair journey is almost the same as yours :) I've never used any styling products on my hair so it was more wavy than curly and I also braided it. Now I'm learning how to treat them right and hopefully I will get as amazing results as you :)

[@TheHugisCh]

Lydia! Thanks for this video and sharing your journey. So much of this applies to me, and I'm only really learning now how to take care of my curly hair! But I have a daughter whose hair is exactly as you described yours growing up. She had curls in the early years, but we've been brushing it (and definitely not doing a curly girl routine on it) and now it's typically frizzy and wavy/straight on top, with some ringlets underneath. I SO want to learn to take better care of her hair and teach her how! Thanks for that! Your hair is really really beautiful!

[@lucyloo6591]

You should stick with doing KZbin regularly, you have a good amount of subscribers and views you have a good personality for it. You can make some good money from it and grow a following

[@BrittanyJean88]

Lydia Grace! You are adorable! Im inspired by you and think its really cool you have a spiritual advisor if you wanna call it that. Im contemplating getting the devacut done. Not sure if i should do that or just try the products. I think your amazing and your personality! Thanks for the video 😍❤

[@becca8078]

The exact same thing happened to me. I was born with really thick curly hair. As i grew older i struggled with frizz and i always plaited my hair. But now i want to revive my curls and get it back to the way it was.

[@beckahcruz7463]

this video is so sweet and inspiring! My hair used to have the same curl pattern as yours, but after years of brushing just the top and pulling it back for work the top is mostly straight with a wave. Trying the CG method to get back to where I was ten years ago!

[@niamhtaylor3852]

Make more videos!!! You’re amazing. I love your hair and I LOOOVE your energy. Sending big love your way.

[@lydiagrace9676]

thank you so much!!! sending big love right back at you!!!!

[@luv3mely]

My hair is so frizzy because I brush my waves/curls but I only brush it because when I was younger I had straight hair and my parents loved it but since it got wavy my parents hate my wavy hair they say it looks like a mess so I end up brushing it but they say it still looks like a mess but idk what to do to make my waves/curls look good

[@reginageorge5409]

Only brush it when it's wet after you've washed it. Try using some leave in conditioner and scrunch it and let it air dry.

[@ariaschank4088]

I don’t think your weird. Your real and authentic to yourself. I love your personality and your hair s gorgeous! I just found my hair is wavy borderline curly too.

[@lydiagrace9676]

thank you so much!

[@Ayin07]

I don’t even know who you are. I just saw a thumbnail while watching another video and clicked because of your gorgeous hair! I really don’t understand why girls with such beautiful curls straighten them to look generic and fried. And your color is divine. Beautiful!

[@WhoisKell]

I love you hair and the high lights in it at the ends. I started my curly hair journey since yesterday. I have colored hair brown on top with blond ends. I was my hair once, maybe twice a week. The day after that was the only day i would straighten it. So i have everything non devacurl (also read some bad reviews on it, but I guess it is not available here in NL) the only thing in my products is dimethiconol. It is in all besides my hair oil and mouse. I had no mouse good mousse in the house so I used gel and was quiet suprised about the result. It got really wavey and some small curls. Can’t wait to continue and see where it will be in half a year.

[@ProcrastinationQueen]

OMG! When i was younger, I had insane, big, doll-like curls that were everywhere! And all the old ladies always wanted to touch it ( you probably know what that feels like lol, ) and every time I visited my grandma she would brush it, DRY! And it hurt *so* bad, but everyone just thought I was overreacting, and that experience honestly made me really terrified of my grandma for so many years, and I was like only, six or seven years old back then. Then when I grew a bit older, I started needing to go to a hair salon, but I *hated* it! They would do the exact same thing my grandma did and I would just cry every time, it hurt so bad ( we also tried hiring a hairstylist to come on house visits, since I was scared of going to the salon, but she wasn’t any better. ) I’ve just been surrounded by people with straight hair, so no one knew how to take care of it properly, and I think that has honestly damaged my curls so much, since I’m 20 now and I only started getting to know curly hair-care this week. And now I’ve been watching all these videos of girls with the same type of hair as mine, saying that washing your hair a little ( if at all ) is actually how most curly gals take care of their locks. And now I find out about DevaCurl, and I am SO gonna try it! ( wow, so sorry for this book I just wrote lol, you don’t need to read it 😂 )

[@lydiagrace9676]

of course I will read it!!!! and that is a crazy story ahah! but yeah girl try it out and I hope it works out for you!!!! TELL ME HOW IT'S BEEN!!!!!!

[@mariamhany1533]

I used to have straight thick hair when I was a little kid until I was 8, then it became damaged and dry and just a frizzy mess. It wasn’t even curly, it was weird. And everyone would make fun of me n shit and I became so insecure so I started straightening my hair. And now I’m so fed up of it, your video really inspired me and I didn’t know so many curly gurls are suffering with my same problem. Respect to all my babies ❤️❤️

[@Merel_mt]

KZbin suggested you're video to me and now I get why. It was telling me that my hair is curly! My hair is just what you said, this strange wavy straight pattern and extremely frizzy!! So I guess I am going to try to get the curls back!

[@codysimpson143megan]

My hair now looks like your hair in your senior year! Your hair now is my goal 😍😍 Do you think diffusing is a must or really helpful when it comes to curl definition ? I typically air dry after putting in products but my roots lack volume and curl definition , my curls don't really form until a couple inches down from my scalp 😄

[@lydiagrace9676]

I do thinking diffusing helps quicken the curl memory process but it's not necessarily a "must" but that's just my suggestion (:

[@annagetyourgunn]

so the more you diffused, the more it brought out your curls? I've never used one but have wavy/curly (much curlier when it is shorter) and i'm curious if my curls will come out more. my hair now looks like your before, just some more curls. your hair is gorgeous btw!

[@jordanbrodie227]

I love your hair so much!! Your curls look so bouncy and pretty! I have a few curls at my roots that look similar to yours but the rest of my curls look really stretched out now. I would say some of my hair is 2c hair but the rest is mainly wavy and my roots are usually flat all the time. I was born with curly hair too but I started wearing my hair curly about 4 months ago now because I used to straighten it all the time and it was really damaged especially at the ends. I recently got a haircut specific for curly hair but I still don't know how to manage it exactly or style it. Any suggestions on what I should do?

[@lydiagrace9676]

Just keep using the products and diffuse like I said in my video (:

[@EmiPellegrinoMusic]

Did anybody else's hair start falling out a LOT more than usual once they started using DevaCurl ???

[@cupstudios3788]

That might be a reaction and it might be you only noticed your hair coming out (keeping in mind your supposed to loose like 100 hairs a day (or something like that))I myself loose what seems like a lot of hair when I shower (I don’t brush) but I only shower once or twice a week.

[@EmiPellegrinoMusic]

Cup Studios Yeah , I thought that May had been the case , or even me just adjusting to it , so I tried it for a month or so . But my hair honestly became noticeably thinner and it broke my heart . It really was a lot more than I had ever lost in a shower . I switched to Shea Moister’s curly stuff and I don’t lose as much . Everyone’s different I guess ! Thankfully , my head likes the cheaper stuff LOL.

This may sound odd but a lot of the ingredients in DevaCurl help moisturize & strengthen the natural protein in your hair. Your hair might be falling out because it has TOO MUCH protein, & using DevaCurl with its ingredients is working to strengthen the protein & moisturize even more which can lead to breakage.

[@EmiPellegrinoMusic]

Abigator Yes that must be what happened . Cause I’ve always had REALLY STRONG hair . Thank you for cracking the code !!!

[@JawgaGirll]

Emi Pellegrino I was so excited to try devacurl. But then I saw a negative review on it. Devacurl doesn’t work on people with low porosity hair because their products are loaded with protein. I did some research and found out that the porosity of my hair is low and found out which products to use. So glad I figured this out before spending a lot of money on it

Don’t diminish your beautiful soul from shining by minimizing yourself by saying things like, “your being dramatic”. Be totally, honestly, beautifully, YOU! 😘 Keep doing you lady!

[@lydiagrace9676]

[@RebekkaHay]

[@sarahyoung4631]

Girl, I love your korky personality! Totally subscribed. 👌🏼

[@lydiagrace9676]

thanks beautiful ahah!

[@jordanm6685]

So I used to have wavy straight hair but it's been wavier. My gramma had 3a to 3b hair so I always had wished for it. I got my hair dyed and my hairdresser had said something about my hair having a curl texture. I'm using curl techniques now and my hair I getting so curly again and I'm so happy.

[@steph.v.o.7078]

Born with curls, but my mom brushed it EVERY day 😱 It hurt so much😬 Couple of weeks ago started de cg method, but I am still a bit in a test fase, but it works! Nobody knew my hair was this curly 🤣 Girl, did you get a perm? Nope, just my own curls 🥰

[@sierramolina8885]

I absolutely love your hair and I’m in the process of repairing my natural curls because all through high school I’d straighten my hair and now I’m trying to get my curls back. What’s the best thing to do to get it going?!

[@lydiagrace9676]

All you gotta do is stop straightening and use the right products and use masks or products that help any breakage!

[@hipretty]

What color is in your hair now? 🤔 and... Do you cut it yourself (a la CG style?) If so maybe you can do a haircut video? 😍

[@marleywall9156]

This sounds like someone took my entire life and had this girl tell it

[@londonstreets2059]

When I was 4 my hair was spirally curly but then my parents cut it off and then it became really wavy I miss my natural curls I want them back real bad

[@pearlchiidera]

if your hair was naturally curly the girls would grow back by itself

[@NYandAZ]

Showing us HOW would have been quite helpful. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@isabellamaya2412]

Tbh that’s what I thought this video would be about lmao

[@grrarghh]

I had super curly hair when I was little but as I got older it just got wavy and then straight when I started to dye and bleach my hair. Only recently that I've not been bleaching and dyeing as often my curls are very very slowly returning. I can't wait till my hair grows some more so that it looks super cute

[@brittneycastricone5569]

Loved your video. I’m going to have to try those products. I’m 29 and finally trying to embrace my curls but haven’t known how.

[@lydiagrace9676]

Well I am glad you going to embrace your beautiful curls!!

[@ARedVelvetBunnie]

Omggg same I was born with curly hair until I was about 3-4 it got wavy, and now I want my hair to be super curly

[@shannonsowles373]

omg you have the same exact curls as me and let me tell you... i use deva curl now too and this is the first time in my life since i was 10 that i didnt straighten it. (im 30) love it!

[@BADcheer]

Your curls are so gorgeous! I'm jealous, I just have fine, wavy hair and I wish I could get that volume.

[@CB-bb2ix]

You are so gorgeous! Subscribed because you're so genuine and funny😂💓

[@lydiagrace9676]

Thank you so much babe ahah(;

[@glorious6779]

Wow, your hair is crazy beautiful. Love it. I hope I find the cure for my hair.

[@lydiagrace9676]

thank you so much and I'm sure you will beautiful!

[@darknessofnight6226]

I'm so glad you said that if you don't have naturally curly if wavy hair devacurl won't work. Someone tried telling me that "anyone can use curly hair products to get curly hair, it's just styling your hair." It bothered me for a while and I went back to straightening my hair. I just started my journey back to curly hair. I was wondering, what would happen if you put regular curly hair products on someone with naturally straight hair?

[@lydiagrace9676]

I am not sure what would happen cause I've never tried because "curly hair products" are for curly hair. And I'm sure if someone did it would be pretty greasy and weighed down, and probably crunchy and just not cute ahah.

[@arlettegarcia2041]

Hello, watching video makes me question a lot about my own hair btw I’m loving your curls!!! I can say that I went through the same thing with my hair. In high school my hair was wavy Ofcourse I would always put gel to keep my waves then as I grew older I started to dye my hair and not only that but I made the mistake of perming my hair curly and that was the end of my waves, they never came back and I also never tried but watching your video gives me hope of getting them back now what do you think I should do?

[@lydiagrace9676]

my advice is to keep going and have consistency (:

[@stormchii]

My moms hair is wavy and my dads hair is curly and I think I have a mixture of both because most of the time I have wavy hair (when I don’t brush it of course or else I’ll be a huge poofball) but occasionally I’ll get cute spirals and I’m wondering if all of my hair can be that way instead of a mixture between wavy/ straight and spiraly. WOW that was super long sentence lol Ive heard many good things about devacurl, so I will be purchasing a couple bottles and hopefully I’m patient enough to start seeing results 😅

[@lydiagrace9676]

Hahah I hope you start seeing the results youre looking for!

[@leih6629]

Im so confused all my life i thinked that my hair was just wavy , but now that im caring more about my hair im a 3a and 3c on some parts..

[@ambermac77]

I love your hair!! I’m starting my journey now. My hair has always had a bit of wave to it, but when I was pregnant with my son, it grew out curly! Btw, is that Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride in the background?? 💖🌺

[@lydiagrace9676]

yes it is that song(:

[@mariahcraig7298]

Love that song lolol

[@kirakiraboshi82]

OMG gurl thanx! just today after watching your video I gave it a try and I discovered I am curly too!! It is not completely dry yet, but I can see the shakira in me now.. 35 years to find out I shouldnt brush my hair after taking a shower.. bye

[@JadeyFadeyMCR]

I've always had straight hair. Like straight hair (my hair wouldn't hold a curl with mousse and a tonne of hairspray straight). And I was rocking a pixie cut on and off for a few years (as in I would visit the hairdresser once a year when the hair got annoying). One time I was growing my pixie out I noticed I had an S-wave in my hair. Out of nowhere!!! So I grew my hair out and I had pretty much 2b waves. My hair was massively damaged (years and years of fashion colours with massive bleaching in between etc). I broke my leg, got a pixie cut again, because I was not able to keep my hair from going Hermione on me with my leg in a cast. And then I buzzed it about a year later (bucket list). Now it's 3 inches long (about 8cm) and it's a bit awkward... like it wants to curl but it's not quite happening XD I'm just trying to grow my hair out healthily and see how my wave does :P Btw your curls are beautiful!

[@TheDutchOracle]

Great video, Lydia! Did you chop your hair to get better curl formation? Since you wore your hair longer once. Or did your hair got curlier nonetheless? I ask this because my tailbone length hair has difficulty holding the curls and is now more stretched out spirals with curls only at the bottom part. I wonder if a haircut might tighten my curls?

[@lydiagrace9676]

Krullen Wijzer i did cut my hair cause it was super dead on the ends!

[@lydiagrace9676]

also i hair cut would deffinitley tighten the curls

[@sarswing]

Curls don’t always tighten with a chop. I have 3a hair and from personal experience, my hair does just the opposite. The longer it is the curlier it becomes. It all just depends on your curl type.

[@TheDutchOracle]

Sarah Homan Thanks for the input. What length would you consider tot be your most curly length? For me it's probably between bra strap and midback.

[@apessy8904]

Hey Lydia, nice video! It left me wondering if I might have natural curly hair. How can I know? My parents and brother have curly hair but i thought my hair was straight. It is a little bit wavy, and it definitely always look like a fuzzball and like it is damaged and dry. I'm definitely trying to use diffrent products. Thanks!

[@marinab2822]

Your hair is goals😍 I’m currently in the process of getting my curly hair back

[@samanthacruz6135]

my hair looks like yours and your friends before.... but like it used to have curls in it underneath... like ringlets !! especially when defused it would curl up alot!! i honestly never do anything to my hair, condition it or treat it at all.. do you think if i use these products ill get my curly wavy hair back like before?!

[@kayejaye7508]

My hair is curly sometimes. I could never figure out what shampoo or methods I did to have my curls show consistently, so I just stopped trying. Along with heat and product damage, I did Massive damage by bleaching it and am now going to chop it down to a pixie. I want to have virgin hair and so I am going on a curly hair journey to see if I really do have curly hair or not.

[@inesmagalhaes8284]

My dad has straight hair and my mom had straight hair until she was 28 years old. She got curls when she got pregnant due to hormonal changes and when I was a kid I had really curly hair (probably a 3a/3b) but I let it grow until it was almost touching my butt. Because of all that weight my hair couldn't curl and over time my hair went from really curly to straight. Later in life I cut my hair and my hair got wavy and because the waves were irregular I straigthened my hair every day. Last year I bleached my hair to get ombre hair. My mom got new hair products and told me to try them because even though it was meant for curls,it was also meant for damaged hair (which I had) and I got beautiful waves. Now I'm starting my curls journey and after washing and finishing my "curls" my hair is in between a 2a and a 2b.

[@elisabeth3365]

Which product from deva curl did you use? For curly or wavy hair. I just need to know :D

[@bingothebango9033]

When I was younger my hair was straight just like my sisters, and eventually their hair turned really curly. When I got in 6th grade my hair started to change and it started to turn curly from the roots and wavy at the ends. After a while it began to curl a lot more, by then I discovered the hair straightener and I started to straighten my hair a lot. In 7th grade my hair started to just look wavy like your hair before, but In the summer the back of my head was super curly but the top was wavy. Then in 8th grade I would have some curls in my hair and some waves, but then I dyed it and it turned wavy and it was really damaged. Now I’m in 9th and I’m starting to take care of my hair a lot more and my roots are starting to turn curly again and some of the bits in my hair are starting to curl, and I’m using the Aussie curly hair products and it’s helping my hair a lot more and it’s giving it more curl definition. I’m just somewhat confused on what my hair is right now. Both my parents and my sisters have really curly hair and so does my entire family, so I have a feeling that my hair is curly but I’m just really confused and don’t know what to do. Any advice on how to treat my hair?

[@officialael9164]

Ok so I was born with curly hair and a family member cut it off.when I was around 4.. I am now 15..... if I tried the curly pattern would it still work after a while..?

[@thebluegangsta8936]

Autumn Lane ya

[@myahann714]

Same thing happened to me i had natural ringlets that got cut into a bob and now around 8 yrs later my curls r coming back stronger after discovering how to properly manage it

[@lydiagrace9676]

try it out!

[@emacwakeup]

Your hair is GORGEOUS!

[@lydiagrace9676]

thank you beautiful!

[@brookeziefle6249]

I’m the only one in my family who’s hair started to turn wavy /curly when I was in 6th grade. It was awesome once I knew how to take care of it. But then freshman year came around I’ve dyed my hair a lot since and now my hair isn’t the same. My fault. It’s more wavy/straight than it was wavy/curly. Is it possible for me to get my hair back to the way it was ? It was almost as curly as yours.
