"i don't know. Someone on KZbin told me too". Lol. Thanks for being real. 😊

[@CurlySusie]

Well?? haha

[@redrose6636]

Me too someone told me that 🙂

[@throwaway-ds6yg]

Comment of the day, right?

[@RachelT-dk1ql]

This person won’t respond to emails. Very rude and unfriendly to waste peoples time who email her.

[@shelbyclark3733]

My next day curls are usually completely gone

[@gueyshart5476]

same :(

[@lindita7745]

Same here :( does that mean that I don't actually have curly hair? I feel like if I actually did have curly hair, then it would hold and look great the next day :(

[@shelbyclark3733]

It could mean anything. My hair is very thin so it wont hold a curl the next day but my hair is a mix between straight wavy and curly

[@gladitsnotme]

lucky you. the rest of us look like sideshow bob in the morning.

[@xnessayx]

My next day cu...sorry bush

[@heatherthompson978]

"Why? I don't know, because someone on KZbin told me to" You're hilarious 😂😂😂

[@voidingface]

Oh my god, "I need an eyebrow intervention" I can't stop laughing. I love your personality.

[@CurlySusie]

I actually had an eyebrow intervention!! Lol I wasn’t kidding. You should see the new caterpillars lol

[@stephaniemcclure2410]

You refresh in layers that just blew my mind. That is going to help me big time.

[@valsptsd814]

Your morning hair is my “everyday go-to look” 😂😂 And Mom has called me “Witchy Poo” since I was little. 😆😆😆

[@erinstravels]

I just found your channel and am now binge watching your videos! I love how real you are.

[@angieprangie]

Erin's Travels same!!!

[@wearelegion1163]

My hair really flattens out from sleeping no matter what I do. I use some aloe vera juice mixed with water in a spray bottle in the morning. It works great to refresh & hold my curls. The silk or satin pillow cases are awesome for skin & hair.

[@angiegould4819]

Ooh I'm gonna have to try the aloe vera sounds good

[@srcobla8002]

Same girl 😒

[@laurbrank]

Omg I'm so jealous of how frizz free your curls are! No matter how much conditioner I use I always have a full head of fuzz 😑

[@CurlySusie]

Mine used to be so bad!!! It’s applying the gel to my soaking wet hair in the shower that made the most difference.

[@manisharathod2668]

Same mine also

[@helennorman9601]

My hair is wavy and short, a jaw length layered bob. I have worn it both straight and natural. To be honest it's harder work keeping it looking presentable each day when it's wavy than when it's straight. When it is straight I would just wash and straighten it every few days and just brush it each morning, takes minutes. Whereas when it's wavy each morning I have a routine that's taking far longer and involves more steps. To my mind wearing my hair natural should mean it's easier to maintain, but that's definitely not the case! To keep curly hair looking good each day takes work. Excellent tip about working on a section at a time with the water spray, as I have quite thick hair it made a noticeable difference👍

[@laceyenglish6702]

Susie, for your brows...you just need to fill them a little further in...if you line up a pencil with the side of your nostril and inner corner of your eye, that is where your brow should start!

[@CurlySusie]

Lacey!! I’m really bad at doing makeup but I’m going to try... I think it would look so much Better. Thank you

[@laceyenglish6702]

You're welcome! I make a living with skincare and cosmetics...too bad I'm all the way over in Saskatchewan! I really don't think you're bad at doing makeup at all...you always look great on camera!

[@concepcionlara3056]

I agree. Your eyebrows need to start closer to each other....they need a bigger, stronger frame to balance out your beautiful face + gorgeous curls!

[@CurlySusie]

Thank you so much! I agree too

[@CurlySusie]

About the brows that is lol

[@piakohler3610]

Finally someone with the same problem, top layer more wavy than curly and crazy curls going on at the bottom part

[@maggiemrust]

This was SO HELPFUL. I've been binging your videos (we have a really similar curl pattern) and you've taught me so much! I love your finger-curl technique for those bits at the front. This has been a game-changer for the days when my fringe decides not to behave.

[@lisakirstygoodall6770]

Love this video, so helpful! Just another tip, instead of using heat to create the final few curls for straighter sections, you can (redampen the tiniest bit) and pin curl then diffuse dry, these hold up really well and avoids the dreaded curling iron!

[@gummy5862]

Personally, I find sometimes you can just dampen and scrunch small sections.

[@studyingtoday2796]

“looks like witch hair“ literally my hair in a good day Im crying hahahaha I love your videos, so helpful!!!!!

[@cheshiregrin7892]

Curly Susie, you are so good on camera. Loving your videos as I am just beginning my CGM journey. Still do not know how much natural wave/curl I have. I do know it's not straight at all. My hair has been from below my waist to buzz cut multiple times during my long life. So this time, I'm going to make another radical change and not only grow out my hair again, (been buzz cutting for the past 2 years) but allow nature to fully take it's course. No more coloring, no more bleaching, no more excessive heat styling, Curly Girl Method all the way. My hair is 90% white now. Yes, forty plus years of altering my natural hair in some way. Not much of that has really been fun either 🤑 I started this CGM by being positive all the buildup was gone. Then immediately used my new products to restore the moisture. I have to say Shea Moisture products are so fabulous. Feels decadently pleasurable. Aww, pampering💞 Like a very new head of healthy hair. The growing out will be the most challenging issue. Buzzing to growing out is something I've done before. Thank goodness winter is coming soon. Hats and scarfs will be my key accessories for months to come. BTW Darling, white shirts are very becoming on you, God Bless🙏🏼💙🙏🏼💙🙏🏼 from the Deep South USA y'all.

[@CurlySusie]

Hey!! Thank you so so much for watching. I would love to see before and after pics. I’ve thought about doing a big chop off but I’m a wimp 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@cheshiregrin7892]

Curly Susie oh my, do not big chop. Having ponytail envy is nearly debilitating 💇🏼 I'd send you old photos of my white hair, but, how?

[@catcomplex]

Thank you for keeping things simple. I find the curly girl stuff a bit militant. I don't want my haircare routine to be a chore or full time job. Your hints are helpful. Thanks again! From Sydney Australia xo

[@monicabozzi82]

Love your videos and your maritime accent 🇨🇦 You were one of the first curly girls I watched on KZbin when I started my journey

[@beingjennz6959]

I love your videos, your sense of humor and how you make adaptations for however your hair turns out! I am the queen of bobby pins thanks to you!

[@CurlySusie]

Hi Jenn!! I guess I’m the princess of bobby pins. Lol

[@Nikkiepic]

Your hair is unbelievably beautiful 😍

[@Kony-2012]

I can’t believe I only just found you!! We have the exact same hair type and color, everything. I am so thankful you exist 🙏🏼

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Kayla!!! I’m thankful for you and everyone else who is interested in my videos. Without you guys I wouldn’t have a channel.

[@Kony-2012]

Curly Susie sending you love!!! I am learning so much about my hair through your channel.

[@CurlySusie]

My video this week is all about hair type & ingredients.

[@gumsguey]

OMG! *FINALLY* a KZbin hair person I can relate to. Thank you so much for this amaze + practical video. :)

[@casy6203]

I’m so new to curly hair, lost so much hair and as It started to grow back its curly. It’s so different and it has a dam mind of its own.

[@jaimewhynot9929]

Hello from a fellow Nova Scotian. I’m on the other side of the province on the South Shore. Thank you so much for the curling wand comment. I started CGM a week ago and am struggling with the no heat rule. I always have a few small pieces that just don’t want to curl and it’s driving me crazy not fixing them! I feel better now, I will fix them when I need to on low heat. Your videos are great, by the way, and super helpful! I read an article about you in the news recently and it made me check out your KZbin channel. It gave me the push I needed to start CGM. Cheers! 🇨🇦

[@isabellenatania24]

My hair is the total opposite. It is curly on top and just wavy underneath.

[@jenniferl.9947]

Mine too. Sometimes underneath isn't even wavy, just sad. :(

[@PoppieDaisy]

Isabelle Natania mine too

[@arashiandfiends]

Maybe try to cut your ends every now and then. It may be your curl pattern but it could also be just damaged hair 😊

[@jenniferl.9947]

Good point. I definitely need a cut badly!

[@grilche6116]

I don’t even know what mine does

[@danasmith7286]

I watched a video on youtube the other day and Lorraine Massey was refreshing someones hair, and she used the conditioner/water trick. So its valid. :-)

[@jamieharrison192]

Can't pinpoint it but you are one of very few you tubers that I can watch. Not only do I watch but love. Thanks for not trying to be extra. I love how real you are. PS I'm a curly and I'm trying so hard to stick this out!!

[@CurlySusie]

Thank you so much Jamie!! I’m posting a new video today with Cantu Products! I think you’ll like it :)

[@jocole23]

I have wavy hair and it is kinda fine, but i love watching you because you crack me up and i love your voice. Have a wonderful day!!

[@iamtina67]

Your videos have done so well for me. Been curly my whole life. Straighten crimped and dlow dried for many many years. Just recently I’ve dived into my curls and your routines have been a life saver. 2 months into my curls. And I think I’m doing well. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Tina! Thank you so much for your comment! It makes me really happy when people start loving their hair.

[@elizabethcotton6991]

Loving your videos. Especially like that you don’t take yourself too seriously.

[@ThePatriotWhip]

My teenage daughter does my eyebrow intervention, thank goodness!

[@mamallama3285]

j w my teenage daughter gives me manicures because it upsets her to no end to leave my nails alone lol

[@valeriegazdzinski1360]

You have the most beautiful hair, I think it even looks good when you take it down from overnight. Thanks for the videos.

[@victoriaf.8420]

Thank you SO MUCH for this. I'm on day 2 of CG and just tried this and the results are wonderful. I'm looking forward to my CG journey with all the tips that I'm learning from you. Love your video style.

[@danaweber2395]

New subscriber! And I absolutely love your videos! Thank u so much for making them. I live in southern Louisiana and the frizz struggle with all this humidity has been a huge part of my life for ALL my life. I’m really grateful that u bring us through all the steps that u do. It’s so helpful. Thanks again!

[@CurlySusie]

Thank you Dana, the gals who live in more humid climates find they really need to work with a good gel “cast” I don’t really do a heavy cast that I have to scrunch out. But this technique works really well. I’ll definately make a video on this.

[@littleminna]

Thank you for this video. I've watched a lot of tutorials for curly hair but no hair looked like mine, and now looking at this my hair actually looks like yours right now. I know that my hair is curlier but because I'm transitioning after 17 years of straightening it, this is it now. I was also having this problem you mentioned that my hair looks the best on day 1, but then again I don't want to have to wash it again every day. So I am definitely going to try this out now. So thanks again!

[@michellee2722]

I just found you yesterday and you are changing my life! Thank you and bless your gorgeous head of hair.

[@CurlySusie]

MICHELLE!!!! You are me a year ago lol I wanted to hug & kiss Curly Penny lol

[@michellee2722]

Curly Susie That’s adorable. Thanks for being my Hair Hero! Keep the videos coming please!

[@PhoebeN222]

THIS IS SO HELPFUL!! I live in a dry cabin in Alaska so we don’t actually have running water at our home. I go purchase a shower either at the laundromat or at a gym about 2-3 times per week so on off days this routine is so helpful!! 😊😊

[@laibakhan3769]

Elizabeth North like seriously! How do u guys wash ur hands then? Super curious! And doesnt it take way tooo much time to get ready then?

[@lararose2586]

My goodness, I'm going to have to get used to this. I'm so used to washing my hair once every 10-12 days cos it just doesn't need more than that, and always sticking it up in a bun. I think with all the styling products for CG method I might have to start washing it a little more often....hmm....

[@CurlySusie]

I only use 2 products. I wet my hair every day in the shower & Use conditioner & Gel. The big difference is, all of the ingredients in “curly girl approved” products are water soluble (including the gel) so try rinse easily in the shower. I only use shampoo once a month!!!

[@lararose2586]

Hey, thanks for the reply and the tip! I think I'm just so used to being totally low-maintenance this is going to be a shift in terms of upkeep, but I'm so curious what will happen! Do you wet it through completely? Really enjoying your channel by the way, you have a nice manner, thanks for the videos you post :)

[@CurlySusie]

Hi Lara!!! So it’s hard to explain & you’ll just have to trust me. I am .. SO low maintenance. I know I look better with makeup on etc but I just can’t put the effort in... unless I’m shooting a video haha or taking Instagram pics 😬 when I wore my hair straight. I’d wash my hair, blow it out, flat iron it, & leave it for a week or more. The problem is, I was damaging my hair, AND if my hair got wet or it was humid... I’d be a frizzy triangle. In the beginning, I found this new curly method complicated, and my hit took a while to look like this. But now.... my hair is so much healthier & it’s SO SO easy. As easy as wetting your hair in the shower. Takes me 5 min.

[@lararose2586]

Hey! Thanks for the tip, it's really reassuring to hear from someone else who is low maintenance :D I used to wear make up when I was younger, but wear it at most a couple times a year nowadays for special events. Nice not to worry about it and still be comfortable in your own skin. Have you tried the no-poo method at all by the way? It really appeals cause I can't afford a ton of products, just wondering if any curly sisters had tried it at all :)

[@CurlySusie]

That’s all I do! I just have one giant bottle of conditioner that I “wash” & condition my hair with. My hair routine is in here somewhere.

[@rabeckagraham]

Super happy I found your channel! I have naturally curly/wavy hair similar to yours & it’s so hard to find tips and tricks on the internet for ppl with this type hair. Thanks for sharing 🌟 Ps- will be tuning in more! ✨

[@CurlySusie]

Thanks a million 🌟✨🌟✨

[@CassBlast5]

This worked great for me! I live in high humidity so my hair will stay wet ALL DAY if I do the full routine in the morning. This helped a ton

[@jessijacobs8]

Wow!! You look so much like Amy Grant!!! Your hair is beautiful!! Thanks for the video! 🤗🙌

[@otiliacampos3922]

Every couple of months I try to begin the curly girl routine, but i just cant stick with it! Usually by day 3, my hair gets SUPER itchy and it looks like I'm wearing a dirty, old wig! Personally I shampoo & condition every other day and stick to refreshing on my off days with the water/condioner only and some like gel like you demonstrated in one of you other videos (or like this, if im running late). I also air dry because I can never get it to look right the the diffuser. It just helps really puffy/frizzy and the curls lose their definion.

[@smf1104]

You have the nicest hair!!!

[@CurlySusie]

Thanks Suzanne!! I can’t wait for the chemical damaged portion of my hair to grow out 😬

[@Ravel1299]

Excellent!! I appreciate your humble, information-based approach

[@mangoberrytea]

Thanks so much! Love ur videos! They have def been my go-to for my curly hair transition. There are lots of vids out there, but you've got such a kind personality:) thanks again!

[@glendamarie6256]

i just bought the blue Biotera gel, and its true! it did not make my hair hard/crunchy unlike the other gels i have tried. i did your refresh 2nd and 3rd day routine and i love how my curly hair looks. THANK YOU Susie for introducing me to this gel, thank you for sharing 8-)

[@CurlySusie]

So glad it worked for you Glenda :)

[@TashaLynn1029]

Hi from NB!! Thank you so much for all of your videos. I have super thin hair. It has completely changed iver the past ten years and become frizzy, curly, wavy, and plain messy. I started my CGM today! I will be watching your videos constantly to get me through this phase and resist the flat iron.

[@lindasue8719]

I absolutely love your Red Green blow dryer!!!😁👍

[@FreakyNightmare]

You have so much hair! I have only half of that ;_; I have the ones you called fugly. Hehe... 2c type, really thin and elastic. I'm still going to try out CG: it seems my hair craves for wetness and it's been dead dry too long and this is really helping for that. I got suprisingly good results on my first try: only with 1)co-wash and 2) conditioner mask and 3)plopping over night (no gel/creams, /oils - the mask was enough for hair this thin). 4) after waking up - freshing up with spraying water and cg-friendly treatment spray . Result was better than I expected, lots of small curls and strong waves - at work I got asked if I had perm :) It lasted well during the whole day - that never happened with other methods to get my hair curly! I didn't do final wash, since I already used good products. I'm going to do it later if hair seems to need it. Also trying to wash it like: CO-wash (2/3 washdays) and CG-friendly shampoo (1/3). I wanted to share this, if there is someone out there with really thin and easily greasing scalp, and wonders how this works. Today I tried cast with foam and it seems working. I was scared of greasy look, but it worked out well :)

[@charbar85]

You can cheat using a denman brush and curl the front pieces with it while wet. Similar to a curling iron :)

[@ashb1598]

Thank you for all your videos. I recently found you and it makes me so happy. I grew up in a family with straight hair 😂 no one knew what to do with me so I've never liked or understood my hair. You finally make me feel like I can have my hair 😅 and I've been using all wrong products and techniques I never knew.

[@pumpkinpie7254]

Great video, sound effects when you whipped out the blow dryer ( PRICELESS ) !!!

[@katherinejimenez4956]

So Appreciate the Realness Curly Susie! You are most definitely a Godsend

[@americanmade1701]

I want to thank you.. I'm 72 and been using all this crap products for years well I stopped dying my hair and WOW curls .so I am embracing them..thanks for the tips..will be buying better products now..XXX.. And you are drop dead beautiful, don't beat yourself up so much..

[@jessicaschlienz7599]

"Why do I put conditioner in it? Idk someone on youtube told me to do it." I died laughing.

[@rhondagreensill5727]

Wow it's been a long time since I went with my curls, as I hate them, but you have inspired me to do the Curly Method and embrace my curls lol thanks xx

[@cheryljunkin5251]

Just subscribed, thanks. You're adorable. I do the same routine except that because we have really hard water where I live, I use distilled water with a couple drops of lavender oil in it. I use my own homemade flax seed gel and get really good, easy results for 3-4 days without washing. Thanks so much for the great videos.

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Cheryl!! Everyone loves the Flax Gel! I’m going to make some tomorrow & make a quick video :)

[@cheryljunkin5251]

Yay!!! Thanks in advance. I'll be watching!

[@LB-tf9rv]

Cheryl Junkin and Curly Susie, I have very hard water and am trying to learn how to handle my curly hair... what should I do differently because of the water? Could that be one of the reasons I have been struggling with the frizzy and dry mess when I’m trying to use the cg approved products and routines? Susie, I just found your videos and I really love them and feel like we are just chatting away. I have stressed about my hair for some time and I’m so glad that I stumbled upon your down to earth how-to. 😊

[@dreestephens6278]

Dry on a cold setting

[@cheryljunkin5251]

What my stylist taught me is to NOT rinse all the conditioner out of my hair after applying it in the shower. That seems to help me with the dryness of my hair. I guess you could get a water softener in your house but I think thats a little pricey. Try different leave-in conditioners too. It takes a while to find the exact products that are perfect for your particular hair. Good luck!

[@ChrisP-to3ko]

Thanks for the info... Tried this refreshing technique this morning and my hair actually responded pretty well! Only been following cg method for 4 months and it's mostly bad hair days with a few flukey good ones thrown in. I was actually thinking of bringing my flat iron out of retirement today but watched your video first. Glad I did. Just pinned back my bleach and heat damaged front bits which don't curl very well and am pleased with the results :)

[@rachelwalker3017]

Chris P Same I am also about 4 monthes in this Journey fingers crossed for good hair soon 🤞

[@knitterqueen1953]

I love your videos. You are so authentic and hilarious! Thanks for making this!

[@ameliesophie1779]

LOOVE your realness! You are auch a nice Person! Thank you for the video!

[@chanthana7694]

I don't know, if I got out of bed with my hair looking like yours I'm good to go. All I need is shower, get dress and out the door. But great tips though.

[@lauratiller7628]

Awesome! My natural curly hair is kinda like yours. I've been straightening it for years but ready to wear it curly again. Thanks for the tips!

[@jessicac6553]

omg thank you so much for this video! It made my waves alive again! Super helpful with the humidity here in NYC, forever grateful for you ❤️

[@jenngillis75]

Thanks for the tips! Very helpful, I’m going to have to invest in one of those pillowcases!

[@CurlySusie]

They have them at Sally!

[@jenngillis75]

Great thanks!

[@carolc2574]

Don’t! Buy a satin sleeping cap. You can find then in amazon, they are cheaper and work with your regular sheets

[@rhondagreensill5727]

Also I have to say, most UTube Video's drive me crazy but yours are very professional and easy to listen to, keep it up, keep it real

[@jennifiercools9866]

I think this is neat because when I visit more humid climates (I live in the desert now) close to the beach my hair curls up nicely, but now it naturally dries quite straight, but I used to fix my hair exactly like you do in your videos except I did not add gel in the shower I did it immediately after I got out. Always had great results, but I remember the looks I would get from people when I would say things like I only use shampoo like once every 2 weeks or nope I don't brush my hair either. Haha. My daughter(11) has curls (even in the desert) that she absolutely hates and she's always begging me to flat iron her hair. It's also difficult to see the look on my husband's face when I tell her things like no, you don't need to brush your hair, just spray some water on it and put on a headband (to control the new crazy curly growth that's about 3 inches long across the front of her hairline that really makes her hair look crazy). I'm really trying to get her to work with what she's got and not get stressed out over it. Your videos remind me that I'm not crazy for what I was doing and thinking and I should keep encouraging my daughter to use methods like this. Thanks.

[@jeanetteh.9240]

As a child, I endured a lot of teasing (from adults) about my frizzy, curly hair. My mom tried to help, but there were very few styling products or tools back then. Please consider flat ironing your child's hair until she is old enough to do it herself, or until she decides curls are okay. Trust me when I say it could make all the difference in how she perceives herself.

[@sarahinthesun12]

This was very helpful. You have the same hair type as me and my hair would look the same as yours in the morning and tried so many things to try to make it look halfway decent. Can't wait to try this!

[@brittanycross4740]

I love that you have the defuser taped to your blow dryer! I have mine taped on too 😆

[@ingridb.1209]

I love your voice and the english . I can understand everything she is explaining. watching this video from Guatemala

[@elizabethlancaster6695]

great tips! thank you! and i love your voice, its so soothing!

[@CurlySusie]

Thank you Eliza! I love your name 💕

Awww Thank you so much! My full name is Elizabeth Marie but I’ve always thought Eliza was cute! And I just got Shea Moisture leave in & Biotera defining gel= LOVE THEM! Thank you so much for recommending AFFORDABLE brands! ❤️ Love your videos, they are so helpful!

[@Star-dj1kw]

❤️ these techniques look promising! 👍🏼

[@paulagreco2960]

You are the absolute best! You inspire me to do it!

[@CurlySusie]

You should Paula!! The first month is hard, but it is so worth it.

[@paulagreco2960]

I am struggling and I have a few reasons...in December I did a Brazilian blowout because I was and have for the most of my life blown dry my hair straight. The longest I ever had was a chin length bob and I always did love it that way, except if I was in humidity. I’ve done a few Brazilian blowouts and that has allowed me to now have shoulder length hair and the most fun part is that I now can put it up for the first time in my life and that’s amazing. I recently started using Monat products which are supposed to help hair grow and get really healthy so I’m trying to replace your products with theirs, though I will have to get the gel and cream you use. So, sometimes I love my curls and lots of times not-I don’t have the definition you have and I do think it curled better when it was shorter but also I think the Brazilian blowout has a lot to do with it.. It should wear off, I think, in a few months. What I end up doing is using my curling iron and I end up curling the top layer of my head with it- all around. By then I usually feel ok with it to leave the house...I guess this lots to do but I may be stuck with this for a while....I know you can’t fix this but it sure feels good to share with someone! Many thanks and I will be watching all of your videos!!!! You have such a nice way of educating us!

[@nufoxiemommy]

I have 2bc 3a hair low porosity. I have the same issue my 3a curls are underneath and waves on the top. I’ve tried pineappling and using a buff and my hair is flat and frizz on the top. So your hair holds the curl my doesn’t. My third day hair looks better than second day. Thank you for the tutorial will try it tomorrow.

[@jenniemurrayk]

This is great! Can you please do a video that shows how you refresh by redoing your curls in the shower? Your routine is really working well for my hair! We must have similar locks. Thanks for all your encouragement!

[@CurlySusie]

No problem Jennie! I'll add it to my list of videos to make. :)

[@IamSaphy]

Eyebrow intervention 😂

[@CurlySusie]

The eyebrow struggle is REAL! lol

[@SupernovaPhoenix]

I have an eyebrow problem too 😂I over plucked them as a teenager, and they won't grow back 😭

[@emmamacgregor731]

Rub organic castor oil, or Jamaican Black Caster Oil (from Sally's) each night. I did this on my eyebrows and the temples and after a couple months both areas are super thick!

[@itsGINA11]

i guess you could call it a brow-tervention lol

[@nekoiohugy2504]

I think your eyebrows are okay, the problem it's just about the shape. I think you over pluck them in them middle but not enough in the sides. I hope my view helps you in anyway. Love your videos they help me a lot with my hair

[@GrapeApe66]

Your hair is pretty and I like your tutorial 👍😀 Eyebrow intervention .....🤣 💜💜💜

[@TeandraPfeil]

"I don't know - someone on you tube told me" - LOL! Thanks for sharing!

[@nelidabuchon6975]

Thank you, my hair is so much like yours... I am just realizing it can look evenly curly with some help. I've watched your other videos, great help!

[@pernia13]

Thank you Susie. Your hair is beautiful.

[@alexesmaediaz7772]

This is so helpful! Your video tutorials really suits for my preference!

[@neeshaacharya_]

Finally I found someone with relatively similar kinda hair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WulfricTheBlack]

So glad I found your channel. I’m a man with 4 years growth and I wore a baseball cap throughout the awkward stage and now pull the top and sides back with an elastic Thor style for work and the top layer of my hair gets pulled flat I guess so it looks like crap when it take it down. I’m going to try this and see if it will fix it.

[@changlanipriti]

Thank you for being so descriptive! The more you talk the more I can figure out if your and my hair type's similar. And it totally is! I have been trying to be sulfate free in my shampoo and hope to get to a point where I can just follow your 'use conditioner to wash your hair' method. I am ordering the gel right this moment and hope to achieve curls like yours. I am so sick of all the straightening and heating. I just want to be all natural now.

Could you maybe do some hair-dos as well? I know you have mentioned that there will be a phase where your hair will not look good - just while you are making this big change. I feel like I am in this phase but it is going away now. But I do like to have fun with my hair and would appreciate some hair-dos where it isn't just plain :)

[@changlanipriti]

nvm I found it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3zUm6d5pbqfqrM :D

[@dawnmyler5390]

I love how you look. Remember to never tweeze you eyebrows from the inside corner of your eye. They should each start from the inside corner of your eye and go out from there.. Thank you so much for your videos. I am 64 and am trying again to wear curly hair. Never knew a thing about product. I'm on my second day. Amazing how many things I did incorrect just the first day

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Dawn. Thanks for the tip.... I don’t groom my eyebrows :( they just grow like that. My moms are the same. I recently went for microblading though game changer

[@aprilc.3697]

New subscriber 👍🏻and this was very good. Great tips. I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t like most Devacurl products, except for the Super Cream. Might try that Biotera Gel. Thanks

[@CurlySusie]

Thank you April! I absolutely love that gel!! It isn’t a super hard hold gel, but it gives me good definition & my hair stays soft with good movement.

[@lousylou]

Is that bioterra at Sally’s?

[@lydiabowlin5921]

Just found your videos, I am jsut now starting with CGM so I'm loving "following along," as it were! Thanks for being so thorough and explaining everything! PS I'm only saying this because you mentioned needing an eyebrow intervention (they aren't that bad, girl!) and please feel free to ignore!! But I think you would like them a lot more if you filled them in a bit more in the middle? Mine don't naturally grow all the way to line up with the outside of my nostrils like they are supposed to and once I got used to filling them in to that point (I use a makeup brush to measure) I liked mine a lot better! I'm sure there are a lot of videos about it, but I can't remember which one taught me specifically that trick. EDIT: Okay deffo ignore, just noticed this video is from like seven months ago so a billion people probably already told you. Oh well. Haha!

[@miniciominiciominicio]

I had a Devacut yesterday and instead of washing, I am going to try doing second day curls for the first time ever. Thanks for this tutorial! I have the Biotera gel but not the Devacurl cream you used. I have a different Maui Moisture product I’ll substitute instead. Wish me luck!

[@lizzycify]

omg I want your hair!!! So pretty

[@CurlySusie]

Thank you so so much Lizzy!

[@callmeaftercoffee]

Eep! I've been binging on a bunch of your, and some other, curly youtuber's videos. And even in the last week I've noticed the product swap has really brought out my "curls/waves?". I grabbed a bottle of the biotera gel and scrunched out the crunch today, annnd WOAH *total gamechanger*

[@evagardner6013]

I love your videos. Thank you for all of this information because it's completely different from what most people know about their hair. I just did my first day and I'm shocked at the body and bounce. I've always just thought I looked like Hermione Granger. Also, I can't get enough of your accent! 😻

[@nadinedriscoll9863]

Thank you for sharing very nice as well need more curl hair tricks lol

[@cococonway2504]

Thanks for the tips! Like you, my top layer doesn’t cooperate on day 2 but yours looks great!!

[@bethanywright1017]

Thank you for sharing all your experiences. I love watching your videos!!

[@CurlySusie]

Hey!! Thank you so much Bethany

[@safi456]

I wish I could stick with the CGM....I found it a horrible experience...not so much because my hair looked bad, but because I could spend an hour or more doing the whole method, get a half-decent result, and then wake up with an ugly mess on my head! All the hard work and time gone in a few hours! It is SUCH a time-consuming method, having to style and re-style daily. And it feels so unfair because I have barely subjected my hair to heat, compared to most people who have used heat tools almost daily. I blow-dried or flat ironed my hair about once in 3 months at most, for a fancy party or big occasion. But even so my hair just hasnt responded so well to this method, and I feel really deflated. I do use CG friendly shampoo n conditioner (at the moment its DevaCurl but once theyve run out I wont be buying them again) just to be kind to my hair, but I'm no longer using any product after a shower or doing the whole scrunch-plop etc routine. It was a lot of work for very unimpressive results.

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Safi! Hmmmm I wonder what took you so long. The whole reason I do this technique is because there is Zero styling time. I literally apply my products in the shower & walk out the door in 10 min. I made the creating a cast video to be informative but I never really use that technique. Just wash & go. I didn’t love Deva Curl either.

[@harena9460]

I resonate with this somewhat. I've spent my entire adult life being lazy about my hair. Never knew for sure that it was wavy. Used cheap drugstore shampoo/ conditioner every day, not realizing that it was making my hair look like straw. Stumbled upon the CG method by accident. Have embraced it for two months. But I have wavy hair that doesn't look good when I just wash and go, at least for now. I have to diffuse and my hair takes forever to dry. I'm pleased overall with the results, but it does take a lot of time (I've never been one to dye or blow dry my hair, so it's probably healthier than those who really damaged their hair). I'm tempted to go back to laziness. I'm experimenting with wash and go hair on the weekends, hoping that I can get by on a routine so I don't have to spend an hour on my hair every other day. Once the snow starts, I'll need to leave earlier for my 25- minute drive to work. Don't want to be fussing with my hair all the time!

[@jeanetteh.9240]

@@harena9460 You could try looking for a hairdresser that has hair similar to yours (ask your friends). I've gotten some good tips that way.

[@lacretta82]

@curlysusie bring your brows in closer - that will make a big difference - the front should start where your eye starts 👍🏼💜 love your videos !

[@reganstandlick7520]

Also this there a reason that some girls show their waves and curls more when their hair is shorter where as some girls with longer hair their hair becomes more straight, this annoys the crap out of me because I love my waves but sometimes I love my natural waves

[@catcomplex]

I hear you! I usually have very long hair, just went for a hair cut and it's halfway up my back now! I had to really push for short layers as this is what brings out my curls. It's hard to explain to hairdressers that you want both length AND short layers...but I think I have finally found a hairdresser who will do what I want. For the longer layers I tend to wet this more during the week and scrunch to try and make them curlier like the rest of my hair.

[@Lena2light]

I have a similar wavy/curly hair pattern as yours. The only thing is that it’s four feet long. I will have to try this and see if this works for me. Thank you!

[@sgsirthadfan]

Your videos are fab. And I used that gel for the 1st time & I LOVE it

[@gypsiithaqueen9979]

Love your personality and humor! If you’re in Cali, I will slay those brows for you 😚

[@SupernovaPhoenix]

When you wet your hair in the shower daily, how do you prevent product build up? Do you use conditioner or cowash everyday? Do you just use water and apply less product?

[@cheshiregrin7892]

SupernovaPhoenix after all these months you've probably gotten your product buildup question answered, but, the Curly Girl Method approved products are water soluble. Without using Cowash or shampoo, the water will eliminate enough of the products to start again if you like. Always final rinse your hair with cold water to close the cuticle. For me, when I'm in the shower and I'm not going to shampoo with sulfate free shampoo nor Cowash , allowing warm water to flow through my hair while I use my fingers is enough. I can then use my conditioner, gel just as though I had washed. I generally shampoo once every two weeks. Cowash once or twice a week. But, I usually rinse the products out often to start my products again. For me it's easier to do that than to just dampen/refresh. Starting with warm water ending with cold. I do not mind going out with wet hair. It's a learning, trial and error thing. Oh yeah, I found out I'm protein sensitive the hard way years ago. If a protein is early up in the ingredient list, I flee from it. Silk protein way down the list is fine. Curly Susie and real+life curly girl are my favorites. Best wishes from the very hot Deep South USA.
