your curls look amazing! one thing - with scrunching out the crunch you can just use your hands, a towel might make it frizzier, and a lot of people do it with a bit of hair oil on their fingers which sort of locks in the moisture and makes your hair shinier :)

[@vale25rojas99]

yesss

[@user-ct4mw5yw4g]

came here just to say this

[@vaishnaviambatkar4353]

You are looking soo good holly with those curls. It suits you.

[@life_als]

The products used are in the description box. Hope this helps x

[@isalennon]

The curls suits you so well! You look amazing with your natural curly hair, even days later

[@HollyGabrielle]

i actually really like the more natural curls too, so i'm super duper happy 🤩

[@explicitlyme7497]

Been trying to tell you for so long that your hair is curly. That's why it's so frizzy when you brush it out.

[@aries13music]

Hiii Holly. For shure your hair is wavy or curly. You look amazing with that volume in your hair. I think If you want to do your bun, maybe you should try yo do it less tight so you can have some volume around the head and less baby hairs on the front ^^ It would also prevent your hair to broke easily. Have a nice day and best regards from Spain!

[@asonsabag9759]

Curly here! So... COMB ONLY IF WET. You can also use masks or olive oil (it helps for definitions, nutritions and shine). Use a hair diffuser... and yeah! That's all! It's not such a long process, trust me 😉

[@killhannaah]

"You scrunch out the ... crunch????" Your mum is like 'is that some sort of code for something???!! Haha! Fun video!

[@virna5469]

Hollyyyyyy you're hair looks beautiful!! I'm so happy you finally realized that your hair is curly!! Hope you have lots of fun learning how to styling, it's a real rollercoaster lol

[@0Josipa0]

YAY so glad you're finally doing the curly girl method!!! Such great results after only only the reset wash! Can't wait to see how your curls come out with time ☺️

[@sofialister8418]

im so happy this worked out for you! i've always struggled with having a different hair type to my family - like how some people leave their hair completely alone after a shower & it always looks the same & pretty - but i'm finally getting in my stride and figuring out what my hair likes! its a journey for sure!

[@grittybird]

Yessss! You’ll get quicker as you get practice and learn what suits your hair best! I started the curly girl method 3 years ago and have been slowly adding things (like a cap to sleep in, a styling brush, and a diffuser!) This video makes me miss my long curls!!

[@Kira6311]

I'm so happy for you! Your hair looks great after the wash and even few days after. Definitely stick to it, your hair will thank you. With time and care they'll get only better. You may want to try flaxseed gel (it was a gamechanger for me, highly recommend it). Can't wait to see you more of your curly hair. 😊

[@whynot659]

Oh my! Holly your hair look incredible! So happy you've tried it.

[@lauraelisee]

Curly hair suits you so well!! It’s your natural hair and it’s beautiful 😍 when I finally embraced my naturally wavy hair it was so freeing!

[@sharvanisivakumar4792]

so SO happy to see this - your curl journey is so unique and special to you! Stick through the process and you'll definitely see results - remember, you're treating years of damage/ill-treatment xx

[@TashaHillDW]

You can also refresh your hair between washes to keep your curls nice without rewarding! Dampen your ends, add a bit of leave in, a bit of oil, and a bit more gel and let it dry again! You can also use a mousse to reinvigorate them, but they can be a bit drying just as a warning but good for events etc

[@emi1ylouise]

you HAVE to keep this up, it’s going to transform your hair 😍

[@ladygaga8293]

THE CURLS SUIT YOU SO MUCH!! Definitely stick with the curling routine, you look stunning!! Loved this video so much 😘

[@lovetoariana]

YES FINALLY! I kept begging you to do this! You look stunning!

[@natasham4184]

From one curly girl to another, I'm so excited for you right now! Your hair looks amazing and it's only going to keep getting better 💖

[@sweetmoments4515]

Omg i reaallly like your hair this way it looks amazing and it feels more healthier and fuller literally

[@ce71994]

If you want more volume, I highly recommend you doing the conditioning and styling process with your head down. I personally don't use gel on a daily bases, normally I just use a leave-on mask so my hair doesn't freeze and I dry it with a difuser. Doing all the process of styling, crunching and drying with the head down definetely upgrades it ;)

[@HollyGabrielle]

oh this sounds like a cool hack, thank you!

[@ce71994]

@@HollyGabrielle you're welcome! It takes some time to find what's best for curly hair, each one is a different world. Be patient, but being the first time it worked GREAT!

[@kevincorcoran7632]

WOW!!! Yet another Holly breakout moment. You absolutely OWN the curly hair look Girl and look TOTALLY AMAZING 🤗 and continued looking fabulous, even after being out in the rain. But truth be told, that tee shirt "helmet" look was mighty darn cool looking too LOL 😙😁

You mean breakthrough?!

@@thatpensivegirl8963 No. I meant what I said, as in breaking out from the constraints of the Holly Bun!

[@zosiapotok1226]

Finally! Ive been waitin for it for years!

[@vale25rojas99]

IT LOOKS AMAZIIIIING HOLLY!!! I have your curl patron, here are some things that work for me: I like sleeping with my hair in to braids (sometimes one). Also I don’t like having my hair down all the time, so I put it in a loose low bun (there are bands that are special for not leaving the hair tie mark on your hair after) or loose braids so the curls don’t get ruined. Good luck 🧚🏻✨

[@yoongiswhiskey9278]

ahhhhhh you finally did it! u look so pretty with ur hair let down🥺 I can recommend u to use a bit of squalane or a light weight oil to break the gel cast, only 2/3 drops and you're good to go! adds some shine to it☺️ so excited to see your hair journey!

[@meldaaa2061]

I couldn’t stop smiling when you saw your curls! You’re so beautiful, Holly!

Finally gurrl! I'm so excited for you and I did't even look at the video yet

[@TashaHillDW]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! As a fellow curly I could always see it!!

[@HollyGabrielle]

haha yes indeed, i'm a curly hair newbie 😉

[@yepthatsme3008]

YASS HOLLY!! been a subscriber for a few years now and so excited you finally tried this :)) - two tips: try using a leave in conditioner (it will work wonders and help reduce frizz and add moisture to your hair) and when styling you might want to try a denman brush (this really helps with definition and enhancing curl pattern, watch a few videos on if if you do try) - your hair looks so gorgeous even on the first try tho so happy for you hol✨x

[@hannahkoster805]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FOR SO LONG AAAH :))))

[@HollyGabrielle]

haha it's been a longggg long time coming 😅

[@rculver24]

I've been waiting ages for you to try this and it didn't disappoint! Niiiice, Holly. It'll get easier and your hair will get used to it in time. :)

[@sophita_]

Omgggg 😱 your hair looks so cool curly!!

[@hidontbotherme]

OMG the curls are amazing holly !!!!!! You look amazing !! But I love the classic holly bun and the new holly curls , ugh I'm not able to decide.....but like seriously wow

[@ravingturnruth6431]

Your hair looks so BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️ I’m gonna try the curly method now

[@katherinie]

Girlll..those curls looks so good on you 😍😍

[@user-js8dp9iy9s]

looks so good holly!

[@rosej5424]

omg these curls look so amazing on her!! Like I cant even start with how nice they look, I feel the same about hair washing, my scalp is also very dry so I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week which I found works best for me.

[@laeliaofjune]

Omg your hair is actually so curlyyyy! It looks amazing! I'm so happy you're finally trying the curly girl method haha I've been doing it for a long time now and my hair looks better than ever! Though, I personally have *fine* curly hair so I don't plop or style upside down otherwise I have a huge cowlick that appears at the back of my head, I diffuse to dry and when it's like 50% dry I finish the diffusing upside down to add volume, so yeah it's a lot of trial and error at beginning but keep going!

[@lainers175]

this video put such a smile on my face! I too had a similar epiphany a number of years ago about my hair actually being curly. Curls can be a bother, but your hair looks great this way, and its lovely, thick and healthy :)

[@ElleVanDaat]

It is so beautiful! I've been following you for years, and i am speechless... It fits you so well!

[@alessiatrabucco9725]

[@ariane1263]

The curls look incredible!!!!

[@jessica000001993]

[@zareen258]

I have super frizzy hair usually and in addition to following CGM I also avoid touching my hair at all while it's drying. Really helps retain the definition of the curls!

[@InJoysLifeInLondon]

I followed you only recently and I've always been thinking that you should do it!! I do it and im so happy that you started!!! Your hair looks great!!! 😍

[@elizabeth-louisepoulton8283]

Looks amazing (and a lot like how my hair goes naturally!) - highly recommend scrunching some curly leave in moisturising cream in after washing for fending off the frizz even more 😊

[@brenofreitas7115]

Oh Holly! Your hair looked so pretty! You should definetly adopt curly holly as your brand! I have curly hair too and I can tell you that as the days go and you persist with the tecnique it will adapt more and more to the curly shape

[@annaflavia5969]

so beautiful!!! I loved!!

[@silvialogan9226]

Holly, your hair looks very nice being curly and wavy. It suits you.

[@TashaHillDW]

I’d really recommend a leave in shampoo and an oil! I also have never got plopping to work as it always gives me a weird curl pattern so always left mine to air dry, however I have recently started diffusing with a hairdryer (lowest heat setting) and it’s so much more convenient as my hair takes hours to dry naturally! Also your hair will be very dry from years of not doing things specifically for curly hair so I would recommend using the naughty to the rescue range because I found that the wave hello one wasn’t very moisturising for my hair. The noughts the the rescue leave in is also what I use all the time and I love it so would recommend. I just bought my first spenny curly hair product, the curl defining gel from boucleme, how exciting!! Welcome to the very complicated curly hair lifestyle haha!!

[@michellecascante9898]

You look beautiful 👏🏼 I have been trying the same method ;) the second or third day I apply water and cream to my hair again (I kind of repeat the process) so it stays nice longer (After repeating the process my hair actually looks better because it has more product on it) 🤩 It is great you tried it 🥰 keep doing it you look gorgeous.

[@mileygrace6035]

I have waited soooo long for this video

[@anika_sugan]

I have the exact same problem as your hair. I am probably going to try this… thanks holly!

[@killhannaah]

The curls look absolutely amazing on you!!! Sooo good! Apparently it also takes a while for your hair to 'get used' to being curly. So it might even get a little more curly!!! Good on ya! :)

[@krissihalt4652]

Holly your hair looks sooooooo good 😍😍😍

[@benikkrapul]

I think we have the same hair type! You should try a Denman brush to form your curls after you've showered! Game changer, it defines your curls so easily! Also, the Aveda Be Curly curl enhancer is amazing! (both are a little pricy, but last a long time!)

[@ew260]

Try using a curl cream then a denman brush to create curl clumps then add the gell to hold it 🥰

[@animaloverm.e4472]

Hiya Holly I recommend trying a satin or silk pillowcase - definitely cuts down fizz overnight :)) Looks amazing and really suits you! Xx

[@gabrielytodt1536]

OMG I love it ! I think I’m gonna try as well 😍

[@muhsina_khan]

You look SO pretty in curls 😍😍😍😍

[@jsteed4073]

Wow you look gorgeous with the curls! It suits you so nicely.

[@AroundMe_Ara]

you have to try the linseed gel, my friend used to have her hair same as yours, but the gel helped her a lot because it hydrates her hair!

[@TashaHillDW]

I will also say that the curly girl method is just a framework, some things don’t always work for everyone. For example I used a shampoo that was sulphate free but did contain silicones and it really messed up my hair for months before I figured out the problem, however I have been using a hair oil that I believe contains silicones for years and it’s never caused me any problems. So yeah, try things out and figure out what works best for your hair!

[@annaluisa0708]

Ahhh, I love your curls!!! And your face! You look so graceful

[@rebeccajohnston1542]

My hair is frizzy and wavy(I do dry brush it), but my hair is too oily for the curly girl method. The best thing I have found is the de-frizz lush shampoo bar. It controls the frizz without the oils. I air-dry too. I am curious what your hair looks like over your next few videos, but it's looking so good.

[@monicholopainen]

Sooo happy for you, I can see how happy you are ^_^ you look adorable

[@georginareads3969]

Idk why but when you & your mum didn’t want to say the word frizzy, it really cracked me up 😂😂

[@rachelenston4297]

Hi! I knew your hair was curly! So I have a lot of frizz too and I recommend applying gel when your hair is soaking wet, like if it’s starting to dry add more water. Then when you gel, I split my hair in over my shoulders and lean to to side. Look up the praying hands technique since I find that that causes less frizz and if you want more volume you want to lean over to gel it away from your scalp. I hope this helps and good luck on your curl journey!

[@nouha23k]

Omggg that's soo beautiful it loooks amazing it suits you ❤ 😍

[@justinfelt748]

I love it, Holly! You're new hair looks so beautiful and soft.😊💙💙💙💙💙💙🌷🇬🇧💜💜💜⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

[@beckythomas6130]

I had the same issue and started using silk scrunchies instead of hair bobbles when I do tie my hair up. 100% game changer!

[@CharlotteEvansMusic]

I prefer a curl cream to a gel, maui do a really nice one! Your hair looks lovely 😍

[@shreya6704]

omg just a new you!!!! It looooks super gooood on u dude!

[@piap4568]

Look into Manes by Mell videos. SIlikones might actually really help you with the frizz, as well as a leave-in conditioner or curl cream, and sealing with an oil or a silicone serum. But your hair looks really good! :)

girl I was WAITING FOR THIS DAY!!! I always knew you had curly/wavy hair and the straight cut made me cringe because i knew it wouldn’t suit your hair type, but now your hair looks amazing!!

[@Nadine-xb4oj]

OMG this was me after middle school, i didn't know i had curly hair, no one in my family had them, but a friend of mine noticed once how my hair kind of curled sometimes, and dared me to try mousse and diffusing. Woah was it a shock for both of us when i returned as a poodle XD I think we have similar hair texture, probably 2c-3a. So if i may give you some tips to start: invest in a universal diffuser attachment, speeds drying time, and gives us wavy-curly girls more volume, also try finger coilng to start or if you want to invest buy a denmanbrush (yt is full of tutorials on them). Also a great tip to help distribute products is to section your hair and style section by section, that should also help with the definition, and the curls should last you more days :D hope this helps!
