As a man with curly hair, this helps alot

[@instupidbliss1394]

I just started my curl journey as the kids say within the last few months...I've been wearing my hair in a bun (and doing plenty of damage I'm sure) for a straight 20 years because I always thought my hair was a frizzy mess and nothing could fix it. You are really helping me to realize my curls don't suck, I just wasn't doing it right. I'm still not great at all the different routines, but I'm getting there. I still hate waiting for my hair to be done diffusing, it feels like I'm at it for a year, but maybe that's just how it is. I just bought my first hair dryer a month ago, hopefully I'll get more patient as I use it. Thanks for all the tips!

[@crystal6811]

Same here. Just mom buns and headbands, but now she is grown, and I'm almost 50, so it's time to focus on me again.

[@s.c342]

Congrats Sophie!!! You made it to 100k well deserved well deserved! I’ve been here since you joined KZbin, and I’m so happy KZbin recommended you! I will always continue to hit the like button till we get you to a million 🎉

[@sophiemariecurly]

Thank you SO much for your support 🥹❤️👩🏻‍🦱 it means so much! Road to 1M 🚂👩🏽‍🦱➰

[@allicameron436]

well done and very well deserved i'm in my 50's and have very similar hair to yours I've been watching curly hair videos for about 15 years and you are by far the best your knowledge and how you explain what your doing my hair is the best its ever been .thank you

[@sophiemariecurly]

Thank you so much that really means a lot to me! ❤ so much effort goes into the videos so it is lovely to hear that! 🥹 thanks for your support on my channel 🎬

[@AngelaVEdwards]

I’ve been embracing mine since 2014 and I still learn a lot from her.

[@melissahadley9146]

Georgeous!!! I have hair pretty much just like yours. Ive never been able to get that definition and lift close to my scalp. These tips sound great. Cant wait to try this process. Thank you from a fellow curly girl ❤

[@crystal6811]

In a previous video, she mentioned shaking the root after pulling the brush thru them, but before you brush all the way to the end. When she is styling her twin (friend really). That has helped me a lot with root definition. Good luck! ❤

[@GenaMarie]

Congrats on 100K!! 🥳

[@crystal6811]

You know you are my other curl girl who has helped me get to where I am loving my curls. After losing my hair to chemo twice, I now have curly hair. You both have taught me everything I needed to have the confidence to "rock my curls." 😂 Love you both ❤

[@NicoleShantei]

I’m on my bringing back my curls journey and I’m so happy I found you! ❤ I miss my curls and your videos have helped me start the journey. Thank youuuuuu!

[@ceystal]

I found you about 2.5 years ago when Swavy Curly Courtney tried the viral flip section method on her KZbin. About a week later you ended up posting your first KZbin video detailing that method which is how I found you and have been subscribed since you first uploaded that KZbin video! I adore your hairstyles videos as you make wearing your natural texture so fun and interesting! Congrats on reaching 100,000 subs!!!

[@sophiemariecurly]

Awww that’s amazing! I’m so glad you love the hairstyles, they are my favourite to come up with and film! 🎥 thanks so much for your support it means the world ❤️✨

[@ThatPaintingLass]

100K wooohooooo!congratulations!!!! I’m just now two months into my curly journey. I found you maybe 1.5 months and I have learned sooooo much. Thank you for all of your content!

[@sophiemariecurly]

Aww thank you so much 💕🎬 amazing you’re embracing the curls! I hope your journey is going well! Thank you so much for joining the channel 🫶➰

[@samanthapienaar3759]

Stunning! I started following you in I believe 2020. You are an incredible educator. No nonsense and curly "myths" or misconceptions which I really enjoy!

[@Theonepiece.]

Thank you so much!! You've helped me to revive my curls, and I'm so grateful. Without you, the summer humidity would eat me alive. 😂

[@have3kidstoo746]

I commented on the first video of your flip section. Too much shrinkage! I started doing exactly this!! Brushing the bottom layer like you're doing, and the other sections like you're doing. This method has been working fabulous! Thanks for the video! 😊

[@stephaniesmith3239]

Hi Sophie I first found you on Tik Tok 2022 and Instagram then I didn't realise you've got a KZbin channel so I subscribed to your channel right after. I was trying to find more curly influencer in the UK because I live in the UK myself and obviously I have curly but I really do enjoy your channel it's nice to see that you do affordable products not just expensive products but yeah I'm loving your channel and congratulations on your KZbin channel I'm sure you will get way way more subscribers because you're really good what you do well done again 😊👍🎉❤ xx

[@crystal6811]

Yeah, 100k! I started watching close to when you started posting regularly. Everything you have shared has helped me. ❤❤ Practice and wet styling have helped my curls come alive! Thank you for all the encouragement. You deserve it, girl.

[@MsShanira]

I honestly cannot remember how I got to your channel but I’m happy I did! I’ve been embracing my curls fully for about 15 years and honestly you can never stop learning. We are constantly updating techniques and products because of weather, length, and our ever changing bodies/hormones! I appreciate your detailed content of how to and why based on your experience. Thank you so much for your willingness to share! ❤❤ Congrats on reaching 100k. 🎉🎉

[@AngelaVEdwards]

I like the Black Orchid diffuser for the same reason. The bowl is very large and the prong things stick up quite a ways.

[@jessg.829]

My curls have been giving me problems lately so I'm definitely going to try this method and see if it will get them back on track! Congrats on 100k!!!

[@mon2dan]

Wow! Such beautiful curls and no frizz!!😮❤❤

[@ElaEG]

Congrats, Sophie, on 100K. I watched your first KZbin video ever after it was mentioned by Gena Marie, and I've been watching ever since. I've gotten a lot of good ideas on techniques, hair styles, and products from you. Thanks so much for your content! I like the way you sectioned your hair in this video, though at the moment my hair is too short for sectioning. 😄 I asked for "short" for the summer and stylists always underestimate how much my hair will shrink cause my curls are much looser at the crown. The plus side is that it's super easy to take care of right now! 😄 Thanks again for your content.

[@Marie-ClaireHudon-iq5uu]

Bravo 🎉 you deserve it, over the 100K you are the best 🥳👌

[@sophiemariecurly]

Thank you SO much 🥹❤️🫶🎬

[@laradiniz]

Lately I've been doing a quick routine and my hair needs a cut, so the result it's not the best. Hopefully this will work in the meanwhile. Thank you! And congrets for the 100K🎉👏🏼

[@kathleenklein4231]

Glad you made it to 100k, you are my favorite curly hair advisor/influencer.

[@sophiemariecurly]

Thank you so much that’s so kind ❤️🫶 I appreciate your support on my channel 🎬

[@hayliemorris5661]

Hope you can do a video for those of us without as curly hair as you. I bought a foam and have no clue if I should have. No I want cream or gel or foam. I have light curls not ringlets. Been loving your videos! Just found you a few weeks ago.

[@crystal6811]

I love using a foam. I didn't start out with very tight curls or even curls, but the more I try the styling techniques and different products, the better my curls have become. I use a leave-in, heat protectant, curl cream, and then the foam. Brush style all that into your hair. Scrunch in a gel after brush styling. Then, defuse. I hope you keep at it because I know you will start to see the results you are wanting. Good luck, curlfriend!❤

[@noranora8179]

Dziękuję za wszystkie porady ❤

[@FaceItGrace]

Congratulations on 100K subscribers Sophie, well deserved! 🎊💛 I like to clarify my hair every other wash day to keep from having product buildup issues but lately I've been doing so every day I wash my hair. The summers are brutal in the area I live and I also have an oily scalp, not to mention I'm also a gym rat.

[@MyLadyGodiva]

Thank you for the honest content!

[@sophiemariecurly]

❤️❤️❤️

[@MyLadyGodiva]

@@sophiemariecurly you're great! 🤗

[@mariposay13]

Me encantan tus videos !!❤❤

[@clxrie8616]

Shes soo pretty ❤❤

[@j.bassler4430]

When you went to the salon and showed us “seaweed hair”-I remember that when I’m applying conditioner. Great description! Thanks

[@roxinelikes6444]

Love your videos. Hello from Texas

[@btlcbb]

Thank you for sharing your routine and congratulations for 100k! I’m having a hard time with my hair right now and these kind of videos help me a lot specially because we have the same curl pattern so this gives me hope 😅. I was wondering if you put any product other than water in your spray bottle because it looks milky. Thank you again.

[@m_s88]

Omg 😱😱😱 I was wrong all that time !!! I always thought that you must brush with the tangle teaser brush or another by moving the brush on the side where my hair will curl the most…I changed sides so many times that my hair became so frizzy ! On my next wash I will try your method 😎 Thanks for sharing all your tips. You deserve those 100k followers and more 🫶🏼

[@InspirationalLiTV7]

I literally just tried the crown section part and it made a huge diff on my hair❤ also I love your mirror in the background, do you have a link for this?

[@nylacampbell599]

I was like “Ooh new video” and then I realized it’s literally 2 minutes old 😭

[@sophiemariecurly]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mblaqminoz]

Girl since i went out of the anti humidity ouidad gel my hair is just a frizzy mess. I don’t know what it is..i got the same champoo and conditioner but now only using twisting butter and the gel from camille rose alone since j bought recently to try em and i dont know why is so frizzy and my curls not lasting a lot 🥹even tho i throughly sectioning my hair with it

[@merrysmith3638]

I have spiral curls on day one especially with moisture but by day three it dies down a lot what do I do to keep the curls without the scrunch? Thanks

[@denisemoye495]

Would you have said your hair was 3a/3b when you began your journey? Just wondering if mine will go curlier?

[@Gebakken-Lucht]

What do you do in the shower if you don't wash your hair I hear wash your hair every 3-4 days, but what about the rest off the days

[@dandelion6146]

So i relly wanna know does sectioning help? I never section and i have issues with having some nice curl clumps and some straight, big kind of messy pieces Could it be the case that its because i dont section?

[@HodaAll-zq4hz]

👍Excellent

[@bluefroggy99]

Congrats on 100,000 subscribers🥳 I’m a recent subscriber and find your content so helpful☺️

[@laradiniz]

I will try this flip section method, but I think I will feel like I'm sweating a lot because of the products touching my face.

Superbes boucles, merci pour ces conseils

I don't think I should get a curly hair routine because my hair is 2b and its low porosity 😔
