My Easy, Upright Wavy Hair Styling Routine (What To Do When You Don't Want To Do the Bowl Method)

[@st-dt4zv]

definitely trying this. Loved the results of the upside-down bowl method, but both times I've tried it, I felt like fainting.

[@allijmccoy]

Wowsers it came out beautiful as usual! Girl you should be a model! You remind me of the 90’s-early 2000’s models!! You’ve got natural beauty and you seem so positive and upbeat!

[@lightconfetti]

We have like exactly the same hair type and your videos are actually so helpful bc I’ve been brushing my hair out my whole life 😭

[@jillp9338]

Hi....love your hair! I am trying to figure out the mousse you used in this video. ? Thanks!

[@fourleaf8055]

So beautiful! I'm curious what type of haircut you have. Is there a certain one you asked for to help compliment your waves?

Gotta know this!

[@haimeshart]

Thiss yess

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Hey! So for the most part when I go to a salon I ask for layers with long curtain bangs, but let the stylist choose what to do. For this cut she described it as “rounded layers” and they start at about chin length!

[@Kristin_C]

@@SophieMarieGraf Awesome! Thanks so much! 😁

[@katedolan3]

I've learned SO MUCH from your hair videos! Tbh, it's how I found it my hair wasn't straight either! Do you have any recommendations on parting your hair? It's something I get SO stuck on as my curls form wherever and so I don't know how to get my part in there.

[@SophieMarieGraf]

So I’d recommend setting the part right after the shower! I personally don’t use a hard part since I like to be able to flip my hair/run my hands through it haha, so that’s why I don’t apply product at the top of my hair (it keeps it flexible!)

[@LoveRauhlxXx]

UGH! Your hair is so perfect 😭

[@sarinagersten]

I love your videos!!! I've learned so much!

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Ah I’m so so happy to hear that!! 💛

[@AuthorBrittanyWang]

Love this! Quick question: you keep mentioning Ouai products, but when I go to your link, I don't see their products. I'm seeing Prose, which I've heard good things about too, but wondering if you plan on adding Ouai in there as well?

[@paulina6158]

What do you do with your hair during the night and then in the morning? Mine is always a mess on the next day ☺️ thanks for your videos !

[@donnahudgins5861]

Sophie I love your techniques and I am wearing my new found curls now. I do have a question…How do you get the top and front of your hair so smooth and nice looking? My hair is a bit less wavy than your but my roots have a lot of wave. I find I have to pull my bangs or top of my hair up in a clip. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you! 😊

[@sakura-hw1zi]

That swimsuit looks amazing on you!!! And the hair comes out wonderful 😍💖

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Thank you!!! I love it-it’s from a small Canadian business called Visual Mood!

[@elizabethkulinna8704]

We have the same pattern, with the exception of mine being crazy frizzy no matter what I do 😝

[@peggedyourdad9560]

Same here lol, maybe switch out the mousse for a gel? I notice my hair looks better when I do that.

[@laurend1113]

I use gel instead and it’s less frizzy in Miami heat! I use bounce curl weightless gel, it doesn’t finish crunchy

[@AlexLeriche-ColorOutOfSpace]

Hi thank you ! I wonder which mousse do you used please?

[@angiev2648]

Thank you for this. What is the dryer and diffuser brand?

[@ashleyguidroz7283]

What do you do on day 2 or 3 if your hair looks dry and/or frizzy?

[@ShanMarie1974]

Spray with water & scrunch

[@rachel00752]

I love this!! Thank you for sharing a step-by-step shower process like this, I can’t wait to try it! I’m seriously about to purchase all these products! Which diffuser is that, and what Mousse do you use?

[@scarletrose7856]

Your hair is amazing, but honestly I am loving all these robes! Where do you find them?

[@21972012145525]

Following

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Thank you!!! For the most part I find them at large vintage thrift stores. They are a little different than thrift stores like Goodwill (which I also go to) since typically they have booths from different collectors so it’s slightly more curated, but still not crazy expensive. I spend about 20-60 on a robe depending on the pattern/material and don’t recommend spending more than that since you can probably find a cheaper one eventually haha :)

[@jeannelindsay1314]

Thanks for the vid! How long should I plop for?? I have very thick hair that’s becoming quite wavy, but plopping for like ten mins does nothing lol sry this is a random question but I just wanted to know what your thoughts were!! 😁😁😁

[@pizzaviolater]

Your hair is gorgeous 💕

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Thank you 💛💛

[@grace-px6pq]

do you ever refresh your hair? or just in general, how do you keep your curls from falling? i live in a super humid environment and my hair looks great for a couple hours (even on wash day) but falls super flat in the hot, humidity. any tips?

[@memo-dt8xx]

Following

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Hey! So I am not a big fan of refreshing my hair since I don’t like adding more product to my hair, and I also don’t like having to style everyday. I sleep with my hair up in a scarf (I have a short on this!) to keep it from getting tangled and messy between washes! With that I don’t feel the need to refresh :) I definitely recommend spending time on wash day to really get the style set from day 1 (ie bowl method instead of this quick routine)

[@lindenpeters2601]

I have had this problem, too. I find that using lightweight products, and a good hard hold gel really helps me. Like just a spray leave-in (or spray curl enhancer) skip the curl cream, and use LA looks hard hold gel. (Instead of cream leave-in, curl cream, and mousse) I refresh with water or Garnier Wonder Waves spray if I don't feel there's enough product to create a good hold. Also make sure your waves are moisturized enough. Mine get curlier in humidity when they are properly moisturized!

[@ccgg33]

I’m new to curly hair products but Clever Curl has a “humid weather” curl gel, and a “dry weather” curl gel. You can buy them in little 130ml trial size bottles too. Hope this helps!

[@KeebsRae]

I would love to know what kind of diffuser you are using! It looks like a big bowl and is so deep.

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Yes I just got it!! It is the Conair Infiniti Pro Natural Texture Styling Dryer! The bowl is engineered in a really cool way so the airflow points down the hair shaft at all times. This does mean it’s not a great diffuser for hover diffusing though haha, but I really love it and it’s only $30!

[@mcf1674]

Please let us know what mousse you used. Thanks!

[@zarasferoz9644]

Quick question, do you leave the conditioner in your hair for some time before rinsing it out or do you just apply it and then directly rinse?

[@rosamariapuente5388]

What towel do you use? My micro fiber ones don’t work well

[@cassandra1345]

Hi Sophie! Can you please tell me where to get the grey towel you’re using?

[@SophieMarieGraf]

That’s an Aquis towel! I got it from Target :) I also have all my hair tools linked on my Amazon storefront too!

[@lauraelenaalarconsanchez5479]

Beautiful, can you name all the products you use please? The names of the creams, and mousse 🙏☺️

[@lindsayviolet]

Also curious about what mousse you use! The other products look like they're linked in the description box😘

[@user-zy1co9hy9m]

Any tips on making short wavy hair soft, frizz free and beautiful? I love your videos but my hair is too short for the bowl method!

[@NYCHFAN]

I've always wondered......doesn't microfiber towel drying AFTER using products just remove the products with the water?!??? I've been drying my hair to damp after wash & conditioner, then just adding gel and diffusing. Works great, with a lot less expense & products.

[@louisawegleski9444]

Where did you get that spray bottle?? Ive wanted one for the longest time!!

[@chiaralamonaca6751]

If i would like to use heat protection spray, when do you think is the best to apply?

[@ruthsalinas9479]

Hi! Do you dye your hair? If so what color?

[@laurapenaranda1684]

Hi! Your hair is beautiful! My 6 year old daughter has wavy/curly hair and I was wondering what to do with it on the days I don’t wash it? She likes to leave is down but when I brush it all the curls separate. Is there a way to keep them together overnight and set angle them without loosing the curls or making her hair really frizzy?

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Hey! So I like to wrap my hair up in a scarf at night to keep it from getting tangled overnight. That way I don’t have to brush it in between wash days! You could also try loosely braiding her hair at night if she doesn’t like the scarf idea :)

[@truthinlovemama]

Yes, my daughter has curly/wavy hair. She likes a braid the best. If we don’t braid it, it gets SO tangled overnight.

[@Bettstudio]

Hi! New subscriber over here 🙋🏻‍♀️ thanks so much for the videos! I watched a ton, and yours are my favourite ab hair so far. I wanted to know how do you put your hair for sleep? Thanks ❤

[@neliycl]

Do you have/need different types of diffusers? I was reading that there are different types and as someone who has never owned one before I don't know where to start.

[@SophieMarieGraf]

That’s a good question! No, you really only need one. I accidentally broke my other one while traveling in Europe which is why it has switched haha 😂 I really love the one I have now. You can get it on sale for $30-it’s the Conair Infinity Pro with the special bowl (I have it linked on my Amazon storefront and it’s also sold at Ulta!) Different diffusers have slightly different airflow models, but as long as you have one with the bowl (rather than the Deva hand) you’re good :)

[@JennyLory]

I just bought the orchid diffuser, I like it very much! Fits my Conair Infiniti dryer perfectly. I also have a"Bed Head" brand diffuser tool it's not an attachment, it's a diffusing hair dryer tool) which is a great tool to have in my extra bathroom, probably great for those who travel too!

[@NathaHarleyGaga]

Awesome, Thank you the hair God for pointing to you that doesn’t like a lot of products in your hair! Whew 😰 some I’ve seen use 1/3 or more of the container and I’m like, whow that’s crazy and us normal folks can’t afford that on the regular! Your hair is gorgeous and I’m glad someone pointed me your way, wish I knew who now? 🤗🙏💜❤️

[@NYCHFAN]

Not only that, but then your head just gets greasy. Us wavies don't need as much product as a curly or kinky curly because our hair isn't as porous.

[@ylime712]

Love your hair, Sophie! You call this a “quick” routine. How long does this typically take you without the video? Also, how long would it probably take a beginner?

[@JennyLory]

Same question!!😅

[@SophieMarieGraf]

Hey! So if I diffuse with heat start to finish this would take around 25ish minutes! The actual product application aspect only takes a few minutes :) It should take a beginner roughly the same amount of time since it’s just about scrunching in all the product!

[@aileenfoutch7166]

Not really sure why I watch your videos as I have STICK STRAIGHT hair, but I do. 😂

[@jodiehancock9182]

Can I ask where you got your microfibre towel from/which one you would recommend?

I got mine from tk maxx but I get them from shein and Amazon too!! Maybe primark as well

I have the same one as her and it's from Amazon

[@21972012145525]

Bra recommendation?!

[@SophieMarieGraf]

So honestly I’ve been more of a bralette/supportive shirt type of girl lately 😅 For pretty bras I LOVE Thistle and Spire-they go up to DDD! For supportive bralettes I love Lively (again, they have ones made specifically for larger cup sizes!) For shirts that I don’t need to wear a bra with surprisingly Abercrombie has been amazing. I look for ones with a rouched backing and have loved their linen ones for summer! For shelf camis that’s provide just enough support I use Black and White Market :)

[@21972012145525]

I can’t do Bralettes lol 😬 plz share on KZbin if you ever come across supportive and comfortable (meaning breathable) bras! I would appreciate! 34ddd here

Hi Sophie! Love you videos as they give a lot of knowledge. Would like to request you to turn the shower off when ur applying shampoo, cause a lot of water gets wasted. Let's do good for both self and environment 🙂

Yes 100%!!!! I normally do, but spaced because I was focusing on the filming 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

So you do not rinse out the conditioner when you do this method.
