Q&A -- How to deal with frizz? Hair routine change for fall/winter? And more!!!

[@naduahlorde]

Yours was the first CGM/WGM video I watched three months ago and it was very interesting, especially in regards to the scientific interest you take towards the process. That video specifically is what piqued my interest (I believe it was the one about what you wish you had known about CGM before you began) and literally that day I decided to give the entire thing a go. I have been loving this added sense of self-awareness through understanding my hair, and it has been refreshing, especially as a nursing mother going through the hair loss phase, to have an added bit of self-care that truly shows results. Thank you for your time and dedicated work documenting and explaining your journey for others to also benefit. I am a cinematographer and editor and know that video work is not a quick or easy process. I really respect what you do and look forward to continuing to enjoy your posts!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

You are so kind! Thank yoU!!!

[@naduahlorde]

You are welcome!

[@rachellep2581]

I just wanted to say Courtney you are doing a amazing job with your channel, thanks for the great content. I have learned so much from watching you 😀.

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

Thank you so much!

[@jrohr103]

I always love seeing your cute lil Christian shirts hehe 💕

[@abbycaudle4426]

Sameee here!!

[@nica7747]

Yeah fr

[@karenb5528]

If I were an Innersense product my name would be "I Create Frizz"..... =P

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

ohhhhhhhh mannn!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@libbycamp8723]

A video completely on how the weather affects our curly hair would be SUPER helpful! I never know what dew points mean😅

[@clairebonnstetter5722]

"Hi, I'm Courtney, I talk a lot." Oh man 😆 That is how I should always introduce myself!! p.s. I could listen to your talk all day, your videos feel like I'm hanging out with a friend! ❤

[@melissaandrews2056]

I loved your answer about using enough product - that was so helpful for me! Every time I get that squishy sound and think I applied too much gel, my hair actually turns out really well and doesn't feel product-y once it's dry. Thanks for the reassurance!

[@MelissaSiegelMigration]

Yes please a video about one and done stylers!

[@aperson5261]

A one and done style video would be sooooo helpful!!!!

[@raelynn84]

I love that KZbin recommended your channel! I have been binge watching all your videos!

[@lilypianoforte]

I just styled my hair yesterday with ONLY the biosilk gelee. I NEVER use only one styler but decided to see what would happen. I would love a one and done styler video from you !!

[@mandyratliff6285]

In love that mascara too. I alternate between it and CoverGirl Exhibitionist. They're the least likely to smudge and flake on my extremely oily skin than any mascaras I've ever tried.

[@mariannepate7408]

I bought curl smith products. Love, love, love them. I have bouncy curls. My hair smells fabulous. Thank you for your suggestions.

[@chelseapickslay5359]

Yes for video on one and done stylers!

[@abby-annpepper1666]

In the UK we done have to worry about less moisture in the air, it's always raining.

[@sarahs9802]

I completely agree that 2020 has taught me to rest and be more present. I prioritize family so much more now

[@heymssmithers]

I really want to know what products were in your hair for this video. It is amazing!!

[@darcywallace4220]

You had shown how to wrap a scarf over your wet hair for sleeping & I would like to see a repeat, please! Thank you!

[@Star-dj1kw]

🤣🤣🤣🤣... So, I have just NOW heard why Courtney applies her styling products upside down - for VOLUME! Like a good student, I been doin EVERYthing like Ms Courtney! Oh my goodness! I feel so silly 😜 Volume was never my problem. When Trump says “it’s gonna be HUGE” he’s thinking about my HAIR 🤣🤣!

[@milliem8051]

I gotta try that water gel frizzy trick.

[@peachtea1890]

I have been watching and loving you for a long time. I have always wondered if you ever wear your hair middle parted or slightly off centered? I'm just so curious to see what it looks like. I hope that this isnt taken in a negative way at all I'm just so curious what you would look like with a middle part❤

[@christinaclos1820]

The second I started this video I said legit out loud in my living room "awwww she looks so cute in her glasses!" I have had glasses since I was 2 🤓 I really need a new pair and yours are adorable on you 🥰

[@kimmartin2553]

I loved your answer to my question (@kimmeymm). I have been really relishing time spent with my 11 year old son during this time. 2020 really has taught us to be in the moment and to cherish our loved ones. With regards to favorite one and done products I would truly enjoy seeing a video on your favs.

[@ItsLizney]

PLEASE do a video about one and done stylers!!!😍🥰

[@cariencremore1291]

You are such an inspiration! Do you use aunt Jackie's and Cantu products?

[@LauraMorales-bx1cl]

Do you recommend Camille rose products for wavy hair?

[@GinaMarieCheeseman]

The question about fall and winter had me jealous. I live in a weird area where summer is bone dry with no rain until fall. Winter is the wetter time here with more moisture in the air. I need much more moisture in my hair in the summer.

[@lovajaros1132]

Do you have a video explaining how you trained your hair for a hard side part?

[@tarraholifield4998]

How does eating lots of protein effect hair? I have collagen in my coffee every morning.

[@emilycsearle]

1) love the glasses! 2) I feel like your hair is looking curlier in this video! 😍

[@UnAshamed2010]

What’s the difference between split ends and natural frizz?

[@CindyHolman]

I also do a pre-poo for itchy dry scalp with Curls Blueberry Bliss Growth Hair Oil and it is amazing!

[@lyndims1]

Hey Courtney! Thank you SO much for this channel! My daughter and I have waves, and we have struggled for years! Your washday videos have completely saved our hair routine! We still seem to have one hurdle to conquer, and I’m hoping you can help. After we scrunch out the crunch, our waves start to fall and meld together. How do you keep some hold and definition without crunch? (We only use Blueberry Bliss and a light gel to style currently. )

[@niennaserena4057]

@Swavy Curly Courtney Could you please give me some advice as to what to do with my hair? I have never colored or used heat on my hair. I used to just shampoo, condition, brush (otherwise tangles galore) then air dry. I've also always (and still do) washed every 3-4 days. That usually gives me relatively straight hair, but I have a nest of frizz on top of my head (which I have had since my later years in high school). I am now in my mid 20s. The past year I have been using oils which helped a bit but it's still frizzy. Lately I bought a silk scarf that I use, sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. It also frizzes up when it's humid or when it gets wet. Lately, I've been washing upside down and only recently came across the CGM and your channel. I am also quite minimalist and don't like using/having a lot of products. My hair is usually in a braid, or in a twisted half up do for work. On wash days I leave it down or do a loose twisted bun for waves. Now my mom's side has soft wavy hair while my dad's side is quite curly. Is it possible that my hair might actually be wavy/curly? Is that why my hair is so frizzy? You have been so informative in my research and I have been hesitant about starting and committing to the CGM due to the amount of products.

[@karinanovikova5479]

Yes

[@tarraholifield4998]

I need glycerin free shampoo and conditioner recommendations that are protein free as well.

[@04Ammy04]

Me: turns off the tap--immediate wet frizz.

[@brendabackhaus5909]

Courtney, I really need to know if you brush out your hair before you wash it?

[@christifarris3334]

I think your glasses are adorable!

[@rachelhoward1970]

Have you ever tried one of those bonnet hair dryer attachments? I’m wondering if it would make my hair crazy frizzy or not...

[@rachelwinn923]

Have you ever tried Nofrizz10 products?

[@CindyHolman]

Mine is Innersense whipped creme texturizer - so fantastic on fine curly hair like mine!

[@celesteortins5250]

Good to see you! You are rock!

[@JeCar17]

Courtney, love your videos and inspired me to try the curly girl method. Can you try curl Mix products next? They're supposed to be handmade and natural. Thank you!

[@fionaengel7143]

Would you consider trying out the Imbue Hair care range?

[@Star-dj1kw]

Your mascara recommendation is also cruelty free ❤️ 🐰

[@nicoleofthepnw]

Definitely need a while one and done styles video

[@katiewhelan8178]

Your glasses are so cute! Also, you mentioned your hair really likes Innersense wash day after wash day... Do you find other products are not good wash day after wash day?

[@aprilc.3697]

It’s fall in NY, but it’s almost 100% humidity here today! 🥵 I don’t know when it’s okay to use glycerin in hair products. What do you think about getting a dry haircut for curly hair? I’ve had mixed feelings about this and often it leaves me feeling my layers are uneven. I think I’m going to try another hairdresser again for a dry 💇🏻‍♀️ soon.

[@michelleyoung4918]

Ive been doing CG for about a year and a half and Courtney’s videos have been so helpful. Just my opinion but unless your hair is super curly you’re probably better off getting a wet cut .

[@ajoyfullsound]

You talk a lot? Nah , the more you talk the more we learn!!❤

[@juliettebc9156]

I just bought the Harry’s gel and ag re coil - i saw a video of yours and you mentioned you love that combo -I figured it was a good combo for Florida since humidity is still high here. Any suggestions on how to use? Thanks

[@btbudgets]

Recoil on soaking wet. Rake and Scrunch in. Wait a minute, praying hands with the gel and then gently scrunch.

[@randipoe9400]

I always put my hair up too. I absolutely HAVE to. I get so tired of it being down. Have you tried banana clips or the little scrunch it clip things (kinda like a pony-o, but they seem to be more for finer hair)... they work wonders at not pulling at my curl pattern...

[@CindyHolman]

Try Chagrin Valley Shampoo bars! They're amazing!!

[@michelleyoung4918]

Ok so it makes sense now that my summer routine with curlsmith is not getting it. I’ve been getting good results lately from Dippity Do of all things!!

[@SwavyCurlyCourtney]

[@jesslauren46]

Thank you thank you. I'm on my curly hair journey this helps a lot.

Please do a video on one and done stylers! I used 100% deva curl products and now will not touch them and my hair has not been the same since... I need styler recommendations plz!

[@marygoyne632]

I love your new glasses they look similar to mine.

[@lynnettewood4269]

How did you cope with growing your bleach out? Its like I have 2 types of hair. My ends are straight and dry and my roots are wavy and get over moisturised

[@owainh1347]

Try and incorporate protein into your routine like the Shea Moisture protein power treatment, I am unsure about how often you should trim your hair though. Good luck :).

[@olliethebum3430]

I find that sealing my ends with oil (after moisturizing products) helps them retain moisture

[@QuickSilverHair]

Ha. We use the same mascara and the same process.

[@whispersfromheavenparanormand]

Awesome as always I NEED YOUR HELP How do you hide your scalp at the back of your head?? stay safe

[@Elizabeth_Lucy]

Can you try hammock diffusing on your sister? Also, have you tried curlsmith in shower styler? It gives me crazy good clumps!

oh no I almost bought this today and didn't. Now I have to go back to Ulta!!!!

[@morgansides294]

Love the glasses 🙂 I've had to wear glasses since 5th grade🤓

[@ironrose01]

I have a question: I struggle with deep conditioning. Especially protein conditioners. They're either too thick and it doesn't except the conditioner or it's not rich enough my hair is still lacking nutrition. The only solution I have found is mixing the protein treatment or deep conditioner with my favorite normal conditioner. If you have any other tips i would really appreciate it. ^^

[@derrickjenniferwatkins1394]

Hi! I'm not a professional or a scientist... But I have heard that regular conditioner works as well as a mask when left on for half an hour with heat. So while you're are looking for that perfect DC, maybe try your fave regular conditioner as a deep conditioner!

[@ironrose01]

@@derrickjenniferwatkins1394 Thank you! ^^

[@christyburke7079]

Thank You for sharing

[@dotsonms]

I have spent so much money on so many products being recommended on KZbin and have tried multiple deep conditioners, olaplex 3, creams, milks, acv rinse.. The frizz is still terrible since starting the CG method. I didn't have a frizz problem at all before. My hair won't take or hold moisture regardless of the tons of products I've tried.

[@aprilc.3697]

Not sure if CGM is working for my coarse, thicker curly hair. Think my hair looked better when I was using products that contain silicone.

[@dotsonms]

@@aprilc.3697 Same!

[@rachellep2581]

@@aprilc.3697 try jojoba oil as a finisher, this has been my new silicone lol and it works.

Do you have hard water? If so, use a chelating shampoo to remove that hard water build up
