MY CURRENT HAIR CARE ROUTINE with CURLY & GREY HAIR

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I have so much going on with my curls and all the variations of grey/white. Wow! Have any questions about products, style, colors, or cut? Just let me know! 😊

[@sandraoaks7887]

Hey Renee, good morning. I use Wen so I don’t need any info on hair care products. 😉 I love your stories ab your pups. I first found your post ab adopting Pollux and fell n love w/ your attitude ab him and Maxie & animals n particular. You seem to b a kind soul. Even though I don’t need this info I thought I’d stop by & give u an upvote bc you’re always trying to help ppl and u have a fun & encouraging attitude . 🥳 We need more ppl like you. May your day b blessed as you sure do bless others. 💖 I was reading a few of the other comments and realized I forgot to mention you do have beautiful hair. Mine is baby fine and I’m losing more and more of it as I age. (Thyroid disease and stress/Depression adds to the issue & I’ve just given up)

You are so inspiring for woman who are wanting to go grey. Your hair is so beautiful ! Young girls are paying money to get that silver the white stripe they call it the money piece. People wish they had your curls too you are so blessed to grow it naturally!

Thanks so much for sharing your routine! I just ordered all of the products to try this on my hair. I am wondering what your routine is between shampoos

[@taithome1286]

Love your your curly hair videos! Your dogs are precious too!

[@carolynbrawner9102]

Just saw ur video. I have curly hair too but never was told bout the not running thru ur hair. Good to know. Thanks. I think I could write a thesis bout “hair”. Always been fascinated by hair I guess cuz my curl pattern so uneven been hard find hairdresser who even wants deal with it. There is place in Louisville is great but so so expensive I can’t go. I live in small town. My regular girl I have had for years just stopped doing hair so I am in a quandary!! On the hunt!!

[@kristenbuckland2041]

Your hair is lovely and thick. Mine is curly also but has been shedding alot. Menopause ha.

@@ursulamullikin4723 LOL sauerkraut for hair!!??? Well...I've never heard that term before!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I'm sorry.....I haven't done a hair video in a long while and it was time. More stuff you'll enjoy coming up Friday. Promise!

[@relaxingmomentsasmr149]

I am a big fan of your channel. I wanted to give you a heads up on a product you recommended but I didn’t know where else to send it, I looked for an email. so I am putting it on your latest video in the hopes you will see it. I bought the fryer you recommended. It came today, looked great. Nice recipe booklet. And it has great reviews. I followed the instructions and let it preheat for 10 minutes to get rid of “strange odor” the manual actually says that. Ok, fine, a plasticy odor at first, I can deal with that. Well, the toxic smell filled up our entire 2 story house. I can tell that it will continue to smell like that if we continue to use it. I had to go outside for fresh air. My son and I opened every window we could, the smell is still all over. Smells don’t bother me, well this was horrendous. I am returning it today. So at least some of these units have an unacceptable toxic smell, mine certainly did, far beyond what a reasonable person would expect from a new appliance. I thought you’d want to know. Love your channel & I love your curls and all your videos, including the cooking ones. Please continue giving recommendations, I find them very helpful and they have all been great so far, it’s just this one item.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Oh no!!!!!! I ran mine for 10 minutes....let it cool completely....then washed all of the pans really well. After that initial cleaning, I never had an issue with a smell at all. I'm so sorry! I'm going to forward your experience to Kyvol directly. Thank you for letting me know.

You had mentioned the twisting in another video and this has been a complete game changer for my curly hair! Thank you!

[@emmylou-y4b]

I'm 45 weeks in and loving the return of my soft and LESS frizzy hair. For some reason, when I colored my hair, it became more frizzy. Thank you for recommending Joico; it's my favorite purple shampoo. Love your videos.

You're so welcome!!

[@Dwynfal]

I have never been much a fan of hair products, but I bought the Catwalk curl amplifier on your recommendation and OhmyDog what a difference to my curls!!! At 51 I'm finally getting the hang of my curly hair. I'm currently rocking the half white and half red look and I love it! Really, I do, and I've gotten so many compliments on it too 😊 Which is a good thing because the back of my head is still mostly naturally red so I'll be two-tone for a few years still! 😂

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I'm so glad you love it!!! It's the one product I can't live without!

[@biancajacques9712]

Hello. I définitely think this will help me ! Simple and available products, for washing routine. However, can you tell me how you care for hair between washes ? Do you soak your hair every morning ? Or just spray with your mister, and reput in products ? Thanks 😃

[@AndreaLKL72]

I can’t believe I found you on KZbin! 🤗 I’m 48 I’ve been a slave to coloring my roots for years. I have literally the same hair, color and curl. I haven’t had my roots done since November 2020 and I’m ready to be done. 😄

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hi Andrea! Welcome!!! It took me 2 full years to grow out my hair to it's normal length and be completely grey. It's all documented on my channel. Hope it helps you! ❤️

[@rachelobrien3801]

Brilliant video, I didn’t know about twisting. I am definitely going to try it out next time I wash my hair thank you for keeping me entertained.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

You’re welcome 😊 I discovered twisting years ago....and I just do about 10 strands. But it really does help guide my hair. Give it a try!

[@nancyhensler5569]

Great video Renee! I have naturally curly hair as well & I often get impatient while drying it! You have reminded me not to touch it because it will frizz. Love your jewelry!

[@ibdonsie]

I went gray a year ago. It took mine 10 months to grow out. My hair grows fast. I love it. I will never go back to coloring. Mine is dark in the back. Love it. Your hair looks great!

I'm coming up on a year since my last dye on Jan. 28th. It was mid Feb when I found you and watched your videos the whole weekend! I then made the decision then that I was going to be done for good. Thank You for your videos! One change Ive made recently is that I have started the Curly Girl Method. My hair is already being transformed by it. So glad I'm doing both transitions at the same time. :)

[@JamieCarin]

Maybe an odd request. Can you tell me about your relationship with your curls around 12-13yrs old?? I have soft fine curls and I just wash, scrunch and go. I have a daughter that is 12. She has extraordinarily thick very curly hair. She often looks like Side Show Bob from the simpsons. Currently she is using a good shampoo and conditioner, but I can't get her to condition every day yet. I think what she needs is a really heavy leave in conditioner to weigh her curls down because her hair literally expands all day until she resembles an umbrella. I want her hair to look natural, not crunchy. So what was life like with curls when you were a tween??

[@dustykeele]

@Jamie Salvucci I would bet money your daughter touches her hair all day, and maybe even runs her fingers through it. That would explain her hair expanding. Until she learns to embrace her curls and keep her hands off them, that won't change. But she'll probably have to hear that from someone other than "mom" because of course she is reaching the age where she won't listen to anything you have to say. Good luck!

[@taithome1286]

Do you ever do a deep conditioner on your hair? If so, what do you use & how often do you do it? Love all your videos!

[@PuizVix]

Rene you are a beautiful almost 50 year old woman. Funny that your Maxxi Moo and my Roxy have birthdays a few days apart and both you and myself turns 50 this year. Always a pleasure watching your vids. Big South African hugs to you, fam and the two fluffers..

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

[@AidaJof]

This is very interesting Renee and it looks expensive and a lot of work to maintain those beautiful curls. I have straight hair and keep it short for easy maintenance. Thank you for posting.

I am wanting to see what you do with the clips? I need to try that with my hair

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hi Wendy! I'm still playing with the clips.....still trying to figure out exactly where to position them to get the results I'm looking for. But the clips are great!! I've used them every time I've washed my hair since my hairdresser suggested them. Once I get it figured out...I'll put out a video 😊

[@wendycox3240]

I keep trying too.

From a girl with stick straight hair, I'd kill for a curl or 2! Your hair is so cool. You really DID encourage me through my grey hair transition and I appreciate it. Now I watch to enjoy your dogs, lol. Getting my new rescue pup February 1st. Love your channel Renee!

[@beckystanton8936]

Hi Renee! I’ve tried so many of the products you’ve shared with us and I love every one of them! The Diva luxurious laundry liquid is wonderful and even my husband loves it! He usually doesn’t like scents but this one he does. I ordered the dryer sachets too from that company. They’re great for when I don’t use the liquid. I purchased the bed head hair dryer and my curls are in much better shape.

Looking for your video on your kitchen air fryer. It’s gone...or I can’t find it.

[@lindapearson8137]

I want to THANK YOU for all your helpful hints! I am using Joico on my hair. I told my hairdresser that I was surprised my hair looks like it has blond in with my grey hair! After listening to you I realize it was YELLOW, I was seeing. I was Horrified ! At first I was disappointed my white hair turned grey, now I separated my white hair and try not to put Joico on it! Also adding powder in my very thin eyebrows have improved! Oh, how you put on blush. You are your own person, this is good for this gal who is such a rule follower.

[@louieriggs343]

You should look into no sulfates fast hair growth shampoo.

[@msr1116]

The one thing I stopped doing in middle age was unfortunately too many years after I began doing it in my teens and that was: Wrapping a plush towel around my head, turban-style, to soak up as much water as possible then keeping it on through my makeup application. Wet hair, as we know, is very elastic. As the towel absorbs water it becomes increasingly heavier, pulling at the hair, especially around the hairline, eventually developing those little wisps most of us have noticed....but never could quite figure out how they got there. The towel is one possible reason for them.

[@indriadrayton1132]

Actually, it's called fingercurling! Check out Terri LaFlesh and Samantha Pollack about that, too.

[@louisemazan4695]

Good video for people with curly hair. Mine is straight (used to get perms to make it curly) never satisfied!! I just wear my hair short in a cute style (pixie). I cannot fool too much with my hair. I have back problems, and a shoulder that is bad so very hard to hold the hair dryer. Most of the time just air it dry. Have a good evening.

[@madeleine363]

As someone with very curly hair, I feel like this is a very modest hair regime 😇 I often go trigger happy with hair products. I often use different product combinations every time I wash my hair

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

For some reason I haven’t been getting your recent videos. This is the last one I got a month ago. I’m subscribed and the bell properly set. I think you had one where you were stuck in Mexico and two others. They popped up on my screen when I searched for you and then promptly disappeared. Has something happened? Maybe it’s my iPad etc.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hi! I post new videos every Tuesday and Friday morning.....however, KZbin has not been sending out notifications to any of my subscribers since I accessed my account while in Mexico. It's a problem!! I've been working with their support staff to find out WHY this is happening...and no luck so far. But just this morning my case was escalated to a specialist so I'm hoping it's resolved soon. But you can always check my channel on Tuesdays and Fridays for new videos ❤️

Can you do a refresh day. Do you put it in pineapple overnight?

[@pammeckley3888]

I learned about the purple balance when I was 16. My aunt used purple mousse to keep her whites brilliantly white. (Just like yours!) My hair is short and straight, except for the 5,000 cowlicks I also possess - which do some weird things to my style. Some good, some questionable LoL! Do you have any cowlicks?

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hi Pam! I don't have cowlicks....but I do have a very strong curl pattern in my temples. I find the twisting of hair really helps me send the curls in the direction I want. You should give it a try!

[@pammeckley3888]

@@WelcomeToMyCurls I'm definitely going to try it, thanks for the tip! 😊

[@HomemadewithFatima]

Thank you so much for the advice! I have super curly natural hair and I noticed after going all natural that my texture is a little bit harder to deal with. Did you experience that?

[@shilohnanny5422]

Renee.. RU ok? Haven't been posting. Hope to see you soon.

[@veronicanewbury7292]

Hi Renee you inspired me to try and go gray and it first it was really difficult I tried to cut Corners by going to the salon and seeing if I can't just dye my hair gray but that was going to cost like over $1,000 because my hair isn't completely gray so I just had to suck it up and go do it naturally which is a whole lot less expensive but if it wasn't for your videos I probably would still be coloring my hair and now that I see I need the purple shampoo so thank you for that also I have a question for you why do you use the other shampoo if you have the purple shampoo don't they work the same

[@lorenenoe4472]

My experience is too much purple shampoo is too much, like she said, it turns into a purple haze, that’s why only every 3 shampoos or so, just experiment to find what’s best for you...once a month is plenty for my hair, now almost white in one year. 🌸

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Hi Veronica!! Thank you for the kind words. The transition can be tough....but it's so worth it in the end. If I use the purple shampoo with every way, my hair takes on a purple tint. It's too much purple! I only use it every 3 shampoos. That's the perfect balance for me. For you, it may be more often or less often...but you'll quickly figure it out. Hope that helps!

[@veronicanewbury7292]

ok yes that helps alot

[@robertgwisdala5795]

Thank you for sharing! Your hair is absolutely beautiful! Did you go to school to learn how to do hair? I am curious.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Thank you!! No....I've had no training in hair. I just have played around with mine and tried different things until I found what works :)

[@kitten375]

Hi Renee, I loved hearing about your routine and plan to pick up a few of the products. I'm curious about how you keep your curls fresh between shampoos. I have very similar hair and it gets frizzy and flattened while I sleep. Any tips? Pet the doggies for me. :)

[@SarahRenz59]

I have weird hair: It's pretty straight on the top, then wavy from just above my ears on down. I've been working from home since March, and my current hair routine is similar to yours, Renee; I just scrunch it and let it air dry. I use hair comb clips and barrettes to wave-set the straighter hair around the top of my face. Do you think your curls products would work on body waves, too?

[@tammyhartsell1735]

Hi Renee, I don't even have curly hair but I am curious what you do on the days you don't wash your hair. Don't the curls get a little flat or something after sleeping on them? I'm sure curly hair girls would like to know.

[@juliemackenzie1978]

Wow! That is quite the hair regimen....all I do..is wash my hair & put a little gel in my hair. I have it so easy compared to you. ;) But, I have straight hair. Totally apples & oranges. :)

[@thejourney1369]

Hi Renee! Could you share what you do between shampoos? I’ve found as I’ve gotten older (I hit 64 this month), I don’t need to shampoo daily anymore. But I have what we country folk call a cow lick at the crown of my head. My hair is very dry, so I tend to let it air dry if I’m going curly. I like to change it up between curly and straight. But that area is so tangled when I get up in the mornings. It’s so bad that I call it a rat’s nest because it’s so tangled and sticks out all over my head in that area. I have to comb it out. I just don’t see a way around it. But I usually use a spray bottle when I’m done to dampen my hair and scrunch it again.

[@MsWorkalittle]

I love how your hair looks so I decided to try the purple shampoo. My hair is white, not gray so when I put the purple shampoo on my hair it turned lavender. It took 2 or 3 weeks to get the lavender out. I returned the shampoo. It looks great on you but not on me. Lol.

[@snavillus314]

How are the doggies???♥️🐾🐕🐶

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Your hair is beautiful as I've said before, but this is far to labor intensive for me. My hair from start to finish takes about 2 or 3 minutes. But, I have very short straight hair which I style with my hands. I do not comb nor brush.

[@be6715]

Good reminder of why I keep my naturally curly hair short. I just don't have the time anymore to go through this type of routine. I used to just put it into ponytails, ect., rather than do my hair like you do. I do miss being able to french braid it, but otherwise, I'm ok with keeping it short. i'm not taking anything away from you. Just doin' what works for me.
