MY WAVY/CURLY HAIR ROUTINE

[@tabithagingerich]

Hey guys! Totally forgot to say in this video, I wash my hair about twice a week, every 3 to 4 days!

[@natasha_andrade]

hi tabitha! do you apply another product the days you don't wash your hair?

[@tabithagingerich]

Sometimes I wet my hair and apply some curl cream or leave in conditioner but lately I just spray some water and scrunch if my waves are feeling limp.. but I know a lot of people need to do more in depth refreshing and I do have a video about that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/epupppJ6q8qUf6c

[@SuperAtin123]

Hi tabitha, do you do co washing?

[@janetteehan8230]

Tabitha- I think you mean your hair is more porous since bleaching/coloring your hair. So that means your hair is more highly porous. Low porosity means product can't get into the hair. When we color or bleach our hair products fall out because the hair shaft is open and damaged.

[@bridgetburt]

If anything, your hair has moved more to high porosity from bleaching - the bleach damages the hair and there are more pores in the cuticle because of this. The reason your hair probably seems like it 'can't soak up moisture' is because it is having a harder time retaining moisture than it used to.

[@KaliqueClawthorne]

Finally someone with hair, that isn't very long or thick .... Even while I would use other products (live in another country and also prefer natural cosmetics.) But I would try this out, since this routine looks good. Also your wet hair looks like mine, when I washed it, but my hair looses up very fast when drying

[@mimisdailydose]

The a week in the life of my hair idea is a great idea!! I’m new to styling my 2A waves and I compare myself to others constantly🙈 it would be great to see a whole week!!

[@janetteehan8230]

I like to put my products in my hair when it is wet vs damp too. If I wait until my hair is damp before putting products in my hair gets very frizzy and there is no recovery from that unless I re-wet my hair.

[@margaretc931]

I love your hair! I really like shoulder length hair but i was scared of how it would look on me now that I'm styling my natural waves. Because we have a similar wave/curl pattern and yours looks so good, I feel like I'm definitely going to go for a bigger chop when I get a haircut next week. Thanks for the video!

[@nicolebuchhold5791]

This was so helpful! I feel my hair is close to your wave but it always gets so frizzy and my waves get messier and loose. Will definitely try these tricks!

[@r1ss]

I flip my hair over and wash my conditioner out upside down in the shower, while combing. Scrunch in dry and put a plastic headband on but push it forward. Hard to explain bit it gets my volume that I like.

[@kimgendreau2805]

Beautiful! I use a lot of Verb products on my waves. I actually prefer their Sea shampoo and conditioner. I find it is moisturizing, but less heavy than the curl line. Verb curl cream is my ride or die!! I want to try those Pacifica products.

[@elizabethvanlaeken2174]

Our hair textures seem to be extremely similar and the same length and I have never found either of those things before. Thanks to this I’ll finally find products that are good for my hair

[@jazmynnv5831]

I tried the Pineapple Curls and it didn't work well for my oily scalp, didn't feel clean enough. But I do want to try the Pineapple Curls Conditioner and the NYM Mousse based on your recommendation!

[@almasmith3930]

Such a helpful video! A week hair video would be great as well! 😊 Also, you're gorgeous!!

[@GL-le6bh]

Her hair looks amaze with an even, thick pattern and control. Am I the only 2B/2C hair that requires a strong hold? Spray gel is the single product that gives me the definition and shape I prefer. Those conditioning curl creams and oils leave my hair a frizzy, out of control, inconsistent mess.

[@lulumarie7]

Same! I've tried to use curl creams and go without gel or mouse, but I just get the frizzy mess you described. I also have long hair so idk if that contributes. Either way, you're not alone lol

[@katheykuhnle2345]

Your hair looks perfect! Thank you for the tips! I'd love to see a makeup video from you since your makeup is totally gorgeous!!! Love the lip color!

[@gremlinsx2793]

I'm new to your videos & loving them! Your hair looks like mine except I'm in desperate need of a haircut! The best way I've found to get my hair defined with ringlets even is Jessicurl rocking ringlets & Spiralicious gel, plus some Uncle funkys daughter curly magic! Not sure if you have ever tried Jessicurl but just thought I'd share 😁 definitely loving your hair!!

[@mariabontrager6622]

A day in the life of your hair would be really fun to see!

[@ttadventures5266]

I’ve noticed that the pieces of hair that fall around your face are super curly! Mine tend to straighten out. Is there something you do to help the curl hold in that specific area. (Mine probably fall because I run my fingers through it too much 😬). Thank you!!!❤️

[@lysrobinsdaughter6599]

Yes!

[@cathismith2624]

I tuck them behind my ears all the time *sigh* - would love some suggestions!!

[@tabithagingerich]

I notice that different people have certain parts of their hair that don’t curl as well and it varies quite a bit.. for me my flat pieces are the ones underneath & on the side of my head, like behind my ears. (I sleep on my side all the time and my hair gets pushed up so I’m always laying on that part of my hair) If I do a half up half down the sides of my hair look much less curly :/ but something to note is that the pieces around my face used to be the flattest due to flat ironing my bangs.. also if you pull your hair straight back a lot that could be a cause as well. It takes a long time to heal hair that has been stretched out and damaged so I would say just give it lots of extra love and avoid tight hair styles and heat. Although it could be something else too!

[@cathismith2624]

@@tabithagingerich I do tend to pull the front hair back and put a clasp just past the crown of my head to make it look half decent (apart from it then looking like I have totally white hair from the front) if I can't get it to look decent. I've never been guilty of straightening or blow drying my hair, but I did colour it for over 30 years. That's long gone now though. I also pull it up into a 'messy bun' if I am in a hurry...... 😔

[@jillleebean6327]

curl training with a Denman brush, finger curling, or pin curls can help unify your straighter sections with the curlier ones!

[@lagatita1623]

Your curl pattern is a lot like mine. But mine is denser I think. My first day hair is usually best. Love the style in this video.

[@lyss222]

We have identical waves/curls! This gave me some new products to try 😊 thanks!

[@Norcy2000]

Thank you for this helpful video. 😊 After doing CGM for months, I found out that I should not treat my wavy hair as really culy hair, (heavy products for example). Your videos and your tips on wavy hair just help so much. 🥰 Thaaaaaanks. ❤

[@tabithagingerich]

Yes I’ve learned so much in the past year about the difference between wavy and curly hair! Thanks for watching I’m glad I can be helpful ❤️❤️

[@lvl0rg4n]

Love the update! I just started combining broo thickening shampoo with pacifica pineapple conditioner and it's working really well in my super fine hair.

[@Fjongan]

Love your hair, from styling, cut and highlights 😍

[@NellyTeaBlog]

Yes! Do a week in the life of your hair! I love those. 👍❤️

[@maya-2583]

Your hair looks great! So shiny and the highlights are gorgeous. Mine is a mess haha, I neglected taking care of my waves and now it's dried out and frizzy. Thanks for the inspiration

[@becurious17]

2 products that have been on my hair care wishlist for a while - the Pacifica Pineapple Curls conditioner and the NYM Curl Talk mousse.. gotta get them sometime!! Looks like they give you great results.✨ I already maxed out my hair budget for now though since I ordered some Innate Life products to try.. 😬

[@larissacruz3613]

Tabitha, you have beautiful hair! However, the video was a little confusing for me, maybe because you talked about the steps in a non chronological order. I'd love to watch another one about your routine in which you explained the steps while demonstrating them, so I could understand better your process (and copy it, haha). Thank you for giving tips about hair products!

[@mahsoso1]

We will love the week hair video!!

[@susannefyfe3003]

Oh I really like the idea of scrunching out the crunch with some argan oil. I never thought of that. Thank you for sharing

[@amyf4324]

I'm thinking the same thing. Did you try it? How did it work?

[@Artnadhd]

I have the curl talk mousse and I have tried so hard to make it work since everyone loves it but I get crazy flash drying from it. Not sure if anyone else has had the same experience!

[@salvebenito5135]

[@sophialafrance1826]

Yes please!! I would love to see a week in your hair's life video!!

[@piafrances661]

Do you know manesbymell? She has a really interesting and helpful video on porosity and curly / wavy hair in general. I can very much recommend her videos, as a hairdresser her content is educational and entertaining. Other than that I just wanna say hi, I enjoy your videos a lot and hope you have a wonderful day 😊

[@tabithagingerich]

I’ve seen some of her content but I should definitely watch more because I know she’s super educated and very informative!! And thank you 🥰

[@AmandaDawn87]

your hair type and cut is so similar to mine I also moved away from the curly girl method as my hair just always felt and look heavy. I'm also loving mousse and foam. I just tried the innersense foam and love it x

[@tabithagingerich]

Def want to try some innersense products!

[@aleksandraz2110]

I don't think I have ever seen a mousse hair product tbh, a foam in the metal tubes that you need to shake before, but not a mousse. I live in Poland though, so maybe that's the reason hah. Can you tell me the names of these kind of products that work for your waves? 🙂

[@xAtomicxCupcakex]

@@aleksandraz2110 What you described is mousse. Mousse is an expanding foam in a metal can that you have to shake and use a small amount of because a small dot can easily become the size of your palm. There is a possibility that where you're from, the product goes under a different name since some "English" (mousse is technically French) words don't translate well in other languages.

[@aleksandraz2110]

@@xAtomicxCupcakex Hey! Yup, that's probably a misunderstanding due to the fact that English isn't my first language 🙂

[@xAtomicxCupcakex]

@@aleksandraz2110 No worries! It's just something I remember from my Spanish classes because some words in English just don't translate well because the word in the other language may not exist, thus needing an improvisation or just using the English name with the respective language's phonetics...though you already know that and don't need me to describe how translation works 😂 But I wouldn't have guessed English to be your secondary language until you mentioned where you're from, it's really good. Language is hard and oh so fascinating 😊

[@tabithagingerich]

😭💕 thank you!!

[@jflo2012]

Hi Tabitha. Thanks for another good video. I guess you know that the Kristen Ess product you've recommended contains silicone? I try to stay away from silicones, but lately I'm thinking of trying a product such as the leave in you mention, due to excessive tangling. I think the silicone in it is what helps smooth and detangle. I think it would be worth the trade off to have more manageable hair.

[@CheshyreKitten]

Yes it contains amodimethicone, which my hair likes a lot - it's a silicone that only fills in the damaged portions of the hair and repels itself, so it is much less likely to build up. If you click on the link she included for the Kristin Ess Leave In, under the Drug Facts tab is the list of ingredients for the product.

[@tabithagingerich]

Yes these def aren’t all curly girl approved and I should probably have taken the time to research and post which ones.. I’ll have to do better with that in the future since I know many of my lovely followers prefer the cgm or curly girl friendly products ❤️ just love this leave in though for my hair!

[@musicchick581]

@@tabithagingerich if you're not using a shampoo to get rid of the silicone, does it build up?

Usually when you lighten your hair the porosity gets higher

[@alexadaniellebarone6931]

Do you flip your part back and forth while it's drying so it doesn't dry into one position? Or do you find that creates frizz around your roots?

Your hair is the closest to mine compared to other curly girls on KZbin! I always see girls with hair that is curlier than mine and fine. I have mostly coarse hair, some medium, and loose curls in the front and some underneath, but waves on the sides and back of my head. The big difference between our hair is mine is soooo frizzy 😭😭😭

@@tabithagingerich thank you for responding! 😊 I have definitely dealt with it most of my life, too. I'm not sure if mine is worse right now because of transition hair, or what. I never straighten my hair, but I have used a blowdryer with diffuser for 10-15 years on high heat. Has your hair changed because of not diffusing often and no sulfates/silicones?

Hi Tabitha! I have a question for you... I have everywhere from 2A-2C waves. I use your normal routine because it seems to be the best for my hair. Only problem: I have a large part/cowlick running down the back of my head/crown, and I have thin hair in the back, making that section hard to work with. How do you get the waves to not stick to the back of your head, and come off of the crown of your head, not looking all funky? Just wondering if you have any tips 😊

[@lulumarie7]

I use clips for my cow lick section. Once I've put in my products, I clip (together or up, depending on the desired effect) the areas that separate or go flat. I hope that makes sense and is helpful.

Have you tried the Pacifica Pineapple Curls Defining cream? If so opinions?

[@becurious17]

Hey there! I have tried it and I have some thoughts. Bottom line, it doesn't work that well for me. I have slightly fine 2a/2b hair and it gets weighed down easily. For further reference, my hair is uncolored and I'm pretty sure I have normal porosity. Some products build up quickly on my hair and I find that the Pacifica pineapple curl cream is too heavy for me. It doesn't really enhance my waves or help with frizz, which is what it claims. I've gone through half the bottle trying different amounts and application methods. I've tried it alone, with a leave-in, and I've tried it with gel on top. It doesn't ever do anything more than add weight and a little product-y feel to my hair that I don't like. Its pros are that it smells lovely and it is vegan and cruelty-free. But I won't be buying again unfortunately. Maybe it will work for other hair types though! If you have higher porosity and hair that isn't so fine, it might work for you.
