Would love to see a dry brush refresh!!

[@madisonpisano4372]

Please film the refresh video. I need that in my life.

[@TheFitCurls]

👍🏻

[@mariana88881]

This channel is the best! I don’t know why KZbin didn’t show it 6 months ago when I started! Just a few days watching all your videos and whoooaaa what a difference!

[@nataliedycus8467]

I have hair fails every day! But, I’m just start the journey so I’m trying to give myself grace. I love your videos! Please do a video about the dry brush refresh.

[@TheFitCurls]

Grace is so important during your curly journey! Welcome to the Fit Curls Family! xxx

[@deorrbit]

Yes! Please do a video of the dry refresh! Glad you are feeling better.There isn’t enough time and space for my fails. -

[@TheFitCurls]

Thank you so much! And I know you’ll figure it out xx

[@courken]

Yes! Dry brush refresh! Thanks for sharing about your crazy week with us!! :)

[@TheFitCurls]

My pleasure - I think? 🤣

[@SaraShire]

Sorry you had such a frustrating hair week, but it is nice to not feel alone when my curls flop. Thank you for sharing your humanness with us.

[@TheFitCurls]

In hindsight it was hilarious, but it definitely didn’t feel that way in the moment. We all have crappy days! Glad sharing mine could help xx

[@deandrajohnson1973]

I’d love the dry brush refresh and I love ur pup!

[@REDSTU1]

I would love to see the the new refresh demo

[@ambernoland1506]

If you have moisture or protein overload, clarify as a first step. Reset. See what you're working with after a clarifying wash and go from there.

[@evelynjackson4426]

Yes please. I have never heard of a dry brush refresh.

[@jennywellman3025]

I would also love to see the drybrush refresh 🥰

[@florl.delgado4093]

I am sooooo glad that you are ok!!!!!!! Great video. Godsend. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ P.D. Dog... ADORABLE!

Thank you!! She’s the sweetest little puppy-bear 🥰

[@mariangelgz420]

Loved this!

[@SuperDflower]

Yes please show us the dry brush refresh

[@cindywitty8646]

I’m interested in the dry brush refresh ~ 😃

[@dotsonms]

Curly hair fails have been my life for a year doing the CGM lol

[@TheFitCurls]

OOOF all the trial and error!! It gets easier, I promise!

[@TheRenfay]

I’m new to and would like to see a dry refresh

[@SuperDflower]

Well, to be honest I have had more bad hair days that I can count! That’s why I watch your videos girl! What is the mistakes that I’ve made was washing my hair too many times after having had bad HDs. So what I have done is just gently clipped my hair up and let it do it’s thing until I was really ready to wash it again. But I really like your suggestion to go back to products that you know. I am actually still in the process after year… Figuring out which products actually do work for my hair, so as I said I have many crappy your days....I’ve also had some really wonderful days but then I wasn’t able to replicate those results when I tried everything the next time the same way, this is why I appreciate your videos. I have very fine probably 2b or 2c hair, colored w hi lights......So the potential for F ups is endless... Thanks for sharing. I’m sure I’m not alone in this, but I feel like this has been a pretty tricky venture

[@TheFitCurls]

It’s very tricky indeed! No one’s curls are exactly alike, and sometimes we need to do just what you do now - give our hair a break! I’m glad my videos can help xxx

[@MsLinoi]

Such an interesting Video! Hairfails are part of the curly-hair journey. And even after years of experience we still get bad hair days. I never got a real moisture overload as I'm more prone to proteinoverload, and I had a similar week once where I kept using more protein cause I thought my hair needs it but it was already in overload. Arggghh 😂 And I loooveee your Dog 😍

[@TheFitCurls]

Sounds like you and I have the opposite hair issues 😂 thanks for sharing, and I’ll pass your compliments and implied scritches on to Sadie ☺️

[@linziesantana4748]

😱😱😱my goodness your poor hair really went through it. Thankfully you figured it out and it looks wonderful once again.

[@TheFitCurls]

Oh it definitely went through it! Thanks so much 😘

[@sarahu6120]

I’ve been experimenting with different hairstyles for my failed wash days. I’m 9 months into CGM and it’s only recently that I figured out that my hair loves protein! Love gelatin treatments, it gives me so much definition and it doesn’t take as long as fermenting rice water.

[@TheFitCurls]

LOVE a good gelatin treatment!! My hair is carnivorous too 😂

[@Chappysmom]

Such a good helper!

[@TheFitCurls]

Isn’t she just? She’s the sweetest 🥰

[@ironrose01]

So my worst hair day since starting the curly journey was in August. I had been on a month of steroids which caused an insane amount of stress which in turn caused me to lose 6 inches of length in one day. Also made the bold stops I had from a similar situation three years earlier finally that had started to fill in worse. It was a bad day to say the least. My hair is getting healthier everyday. It gets better y'all. It really does! :)

[@TheFitCurls]

Oh my gosh!! I am so sorry that happened to you! I’m glad you’re on the road to recovery now - thank you for sharing xx

[@ironrose01]

@@TheFitCurls Oh absolutely! I just want to help someone who might be going through something similar. It's always a shock but it's not the end of the world. What made it more shocking is my hair was at my butt curly and now it's just passed halfway down my back now. I'm okay though and anyone who goes through it will be too! ❤️

[@jenniferprice9971]

I know sometimes when I am just getting annoyed with my hair for whatever reason the next time I wash it I shampoo condition and then only use a leave in after the shower. And just not style for a few days.

[@TheFitCurls]

That is such a smart approach 🙌🏻

[@makeupjunkie723]

I had a crappy wash week this week and I have no idea why. I have been using innersense products for a year now and it’s usually a good wash day but this week was a bomb 3 x I’m also stubborn and have rewashed it three days in a row to perfect the routine. A disaster bec I ended up overmoisurized

[@VengefulAngeI]

Recent bad hair day: I used multiple new products from one brand, none of which had protein (I use protein every wash day, usually multiple products, so I thought one wash no protein would be fine).... Every review said "a little goes a LONG way" for the gel, and I don't think I used enough at all. I had the puffiest, frizziest hair I have EVER had after a wash. Ever. Each day I refreshed and ultimately made it progressively worse. My hair was very soft, lol, too soft and oh my God the wispy-ness was killing me. Wisps of hair flying everywhere for 4 straight days. I used all tried and true products last night (heavy on protein since clearly I needed it), and today I feel like myself

[@TheFitCurls]

Ugh BEEN THERE!! That feeling is the absolute WORST!! Thanks for being willing to share, and I’m glad you feel like yourself again!! xxx

[@VengefulAngeI]

I have an incredibly bad habit of using multiple new products in one routine. Worse, sometimes they're new products from different brands. But wait - that's not all. On several occasions, I use more than one new product AND experiment with an application technique 😬 Idk why I keep doing this. It never works all that great. 🤷 Also, this past year my hair has acted differently with the seasons, which it never really used to do - just a little, but not enough to need to change up anything. So it's causing an issue. Also, my hair has become incredibly prone to moisture overload. That + FL humidity is a huge bust

[@alineparadis8444]

The cake mousse leaves me with a producty feel! And I feel so sad! I use 1/4 of the amount that you use. What am I doing wrong? I am styling on wet hair.... if you have any ideas, please share!! Great video again!

[@alineparadis8444]

Hi! You answered my question on an earlier post!! Thanks xo

[@marjorieibarra3924]

Dry brush refresh?

[@rheiyah2683]

please post a routine for low porosity hairs 🙏🙏🥺

[@TheFitCurls]

There are so many different varieties of “low porosity” hair that I can’t make just one routine for that! Even I, for my fine high porosity hair, have at least 6 different product combinations I rotate through on a regular basis!

[@ayceleijae]

I just did the same! Tried new products and went wayyyyy overboard!!!! Had to leave the house immediately after, it’s so limp and greasy looking 😖

[@TheFitCurls]

OOOF! We all do it at some point 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@sunshine5129]

Awe the pup is gorgeous I’d make that mistake over and over again no regrets 🥰

[@TheFitCurls]

She is the best filming buddy but MAN does she love the taste of hair product 🤣

[@sunshine5129]

@@TheFitCurls lol! So funny..

[@Star-dj1kw]

My worst hair days have been a result of my home coloring disasters LOL 😂

[@TheFitCurls]

OOOOH MAN that’s a good reason for a bad hair day 🤣

[@devracooper5360]

First time watching, wish you had closed captions because sync was off for me and difficult to understand.

[@michelleo1706]

Rocking a bad wash day from yesterday right now. Oh well. That's why clips and scrunchies were invented LOL! I'd love to see the dry brush refresh. I find that the day before a wash day, I'll brush out my curls/waves and they seem to fall back nicely with minimal frizz into their curl families - but "nicely" is a relative term for day 3 or 4 hair!!

[@TheFitCurls]

Sometimes a little brushing is what our curls need!! xx

[@mariangelgz420]

Love your dog! What is his/her name? Edit: Sadie, heard you say it

[@TheFitCurls]

Yup! Also known as Sadie-Bear, Bear, Shark-Bear, and Saditha C Bearington 🤣
