The BEST Products for Wavy Curly Hair

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Thank you all so much for the continued support. Just want to address a product that I described improperly. The Curls Blueberry Bliss Reparative DOES contain proteins. If you need a protein free styler please try out Kinky Curly Knot Today!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@0DeathWish0]

Jannelle O'Shaughnessy Engels have you tried the curls blueberry bliss milk? The ingredients are very similar to the leave in except it's protein free!

[@jennifertaylor3868]

how do i know if i need protein or not? i'm new at trying to tame my curls :-)

[@crystalerkelens]

@@jennifertaylor3868 me too im clueless

[@mynameis.3939]

Why do I keep getting split ends when I use a leave in conditioner milk lotion 😭

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Your dog is so funny. He’s trying to get you to pet him while your talking. Cute

[@BrooHow3167]

I am unbelievably happy I found this channel. For a long time I noticed that my hair would become dry or just not respond to a certain product after I had been using it for a while, usually around 6 months. I genuinely thought my hair was just getting "used" to the product and I would switch up my products. I had no idea my hair was just needing more protein, more moisture, etc. And that's why it would respond so well to me switching up my products. I also had no clue what a cast was either until I started watching your videos. When I finally went to my hairdresser and told her I wanted to embrace my curls, when she was styling she asked me if I liked a wet look and I said yes. So she used a pretty strong hold gel. Later that day after I had shaken my hair around and run my fingers through it I realized it was super soft and pretty. So that's what I started doing everyday... With out realizing I was creating a cast and stuff 😂😂

[@finecurls2291]

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing 💕 The curls blueberry bliss leave in contains hydrolyzed quinoa and silk amino acids but it's so beautifully balanced with behentrimonium methosulte that it is absolutely perfect for my protein sensitive hair.

[@stacy8418]

The Blueberry Bliss Leave-In Conditioner actually has 2 proteins in it, for those of you who have protein sensitive hair. They are towards the end of the ingredients list, however. Learned this from Swavy Curly Courtney. :) I personally just bought it FOR the protein- excited to try it! 😊

[@karapelletier2866]

You saved me from bringing that up. The leave-in has hydrolyzed Quinoa, aloe, and silk amino acids. It is actually my leave-in of choice when I need more protein. I prefer the As I Am leave-in when I need a protein-free leave-in.

[@rebeccaromine5208]

No one ever really talks about the Shea Moisture Silicone Free Miracle Styler Leave In Treatment. I love it! I use your method now along with that leave in and I love how my curls/waves turn out. Thank you for sharing! If you haven't tried that Shea Moisture product you gotta!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I’ll put it on my list! I’ve definitely heard great things ❤️

[@kaillienesimonsen289]

So glad I found another Rocky Mountain curl girl! The heat and the dryness wreck my hair, nails, skin aka basically everything.

[@jo89989]

All the Bulldog. 😍😍😍 Keeps me coming back. Well, her and the awesome hair tips. 😊

[@karisaparavisini6414]

This is by far the most helpful video that I have seen so far! Thank you! So overwhelming getting on the curly girl journey. I had hair similar to yours my whole life and lost them after my first pregnancy almost 12 years ago (have six kids so my poor hormones...) This makes it so much easier for me to choose! So thank you! And for the haters that say you talk too much...keep talking too much! I love it! (I also talk too much...)

[@katherineroldan4220]

You remind me of Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing on this video. Love your hair. 😀

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Thank you!!!

[@jazwhoaskedforthis]

YES that’s what I was thinking!

[@dawnmyler5390]

Sounds like Sandra Bullock

[@erikapasternack2918]

Edit: I read your comment directly after writing mine lol Paused the video to grab my curls leave in.. I thought you were going to say you use it when your hair needs protien, so I was absolutely shocked when you said the opposite lol. Aren't both the hydrolyzed quinoa and the silk amino acids protiens?! It also contains aloe, which I didn't know was protein prior to watching this so thank you!

[@courtneyjanisch8348]

I have been having the hardest time EVER finding my hair twin and it’s you! And we both have Bulldogs!! 😍

[@adriennelang7162]

We are hair twins, although yours is definitely more gorgeous. Love love love your videos! So much great information and you are a joy to watch. Keep em coming!

[@jocelynb495]

I’m trying to pay attention to your hair product tips, but I can’t stop looking at your dog 😊😍🥰 I need to snuggle him!! Lol!

[@manarm.9124]

Thank you so much for this!! Pls make an updated video of this

[@olderbutbetterbeauty]

So glad you said exactly what your hair type is (curl pattern, density, porosity, etc.) Mine is completely different, but I was interested to hear about your favs.😊 I'm looking for MY hair twins. I'm 3A/3B dense, course, medium porosity (although the verdict is still out on that one). Is anyone out there? I'm feeling very lonely.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Do you follow honest Liz?!

[@olderbutbetterbeauty]

Don't know her. KZbin or blog? I will check her out! BTW- I started a channel for baby boomers with curly hair. It's pretty new. But, I've been watching you and you are great! Thanks for all you do!!!!!

[@Katherine_xs]

Thank you for this informative video, but I would have loved a close up of all the products! Its way easier for us to find them when we actually see them closer!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Thanks for the tip. The products mentioned are listed along with links in the description!

[@adrianafabrini6067]

I have the exact same curl pattern AND an english bulldog. Needless to say, this is my favorite curly channel ;-)

[@mnn6494]

Seriously, your dog is the best...cracking me up!

[@chillinRa]

thanks sooo much for sharing your wisdom janelle, your videos help me a lot to dive in all this curly massive world and my low porosity hair thanks you to!!!!

[@laurenhorning4401]

Thank you so much for this! Can't wait to try some of these out. The Kinky Curly products are much cheaper at Target or Target.com compared to Amazon. But I did by the Woman 2 women products and the Olaplex through your links. Thanks!

[@jessaarmstrong767]

This is my first video I have watched from you. 1) thanks for all the tips! 2) your dog is adorable and makes the video hilarious in a good way Thanks!!!

[@alyssaburrell9860]

Saving this forever. Seriously this is exactly what I need. Any advice on how to keep my hair from always being so tangled?

[@P8Saint]

you should try inner sense! I'm going to be trying it soon myself but they have great natural ingredients

[@VanessaLStrada]

I have fallen IN LOVE with your vids! I am a stick straight haired mama to a GORGEOUS curly baby girl. She just turned 3 and I am CLUELESS on how to care for her hair or where to start. I have no idea where to start! How do I figure out what her porosity is? How do I find out if she's your hair twin? ??? I'm a lost mama just trying to set my little gurl up for curly hair success!! Do you have a curly hair 101 video??

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

So awesome that you are taking the time to learn your baby's curls! So many curly haired kids moms didn't lol. I am working on a series to break more of the general concepts down. At 3 years old though i think you are safe to find a good and gentle cleanser, conditioner and maybe a leave in to keep it conditioned. For porosity one of the easiest ways to determine is how long the hair takes to air dry. if its a long time its low and if its fast to dry its likely high. That will help you pinpoint if you need more moisturizing or lighter weight products.

[@VanessaLStrada]

THANK YOU! Since watching your channel, and learning such a thing existed (!!!), I've been looking into a DevaCurl stylist/salon in our area for her first haircut. I'm hoping they would be able to point me in the right direction for her hair specifically. I know puberty might change her hair game eventually...But for now, I want her to have minimal damage and keep her curls as intact as possible. I'm definitely on the hunt for gentle products. Despite their claims, baby shampoo seems to strip her hair and leave her curls stretched out and wispy/frizzy. I've tried reviving them with coconut oil but that seems to have a less than desired greasing effect with little to no improvement of her curl quality. So I'm still on the hunt for shampoo and conditioner that is gentle, moisturizing, AND won't build up. 🤔🤔🤔

[@funluvnrm]

How I wish we were neighbors to care & share all about Curly, as I get so lOsT. I wonder how to find someone where I live that can help me learn to understand, hmm, mAyBe I should not find so many distractions, lol... Even then there would still be issues, blushing, but is what it is... GREAT video as always, thank you Jannelle. Hugs 😘💞🎵🌷🌺 🌸 😆 👏 👍 💫 🌟 💛

[@dorsethillbeads]

hi janelle. oh my, your bulldog is adorable. he/she reminds me of my bulldog, Beanie, who passed away about 4 years ago :(... thank you for sharing your BEST products for curly wavy hair. My hair seems very similar to yours in look but not sure about texture. I have very thick course wavy/curly hair.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I am so sorry for your loss of Beanie :( nothing quite compares to the loss of our beloved fur babies.

[@littleminna]

This is interesting, I like that you also mentioned some of the ingredients. Though I cannot say that we'd have the exact same type of hair, that's hard to tell, and everyone's different, but this gives me some options in other types of products that I coyld try and I definitely will. When I started transitioning 6 months ago, I was freaked out when I saw the prices of Devacurl products, and thought I'd start a bit lower priced with Shea Moisture and Cantu. However realizing now that these may not be the best for me. As these are starting to finish and I'm getting some empties, it's time to try something different. I won't know if it's right for me unless I try. I can say though that the one Shea Moisture product that I got sure would buy again is the Jamaican Black Castor oil deep conditioner. Love that one!

[@emkn1479]

Hard water help! Thanks! I think that’s the biggest issue for me.

[@kayleelarsen5981]

Love your videos! I literally did not know I could get my curls to look this good before hand. Still not as gorgeous as yours but trying all your suggestions and maybe one day. Keep the videos comin'!

[@jennifercrowley2524]

Hello, Just found your channel and have just tried a few of your tips. My hair already looks better. I’m super excited. 👍🏼. I’m 50 and have always had naturally curly hair. My curls seem to be disappearing/straightening, especially on my left side. 😢. Can you advise me on a routine as to when to use a clarifying shampoo, conditioner, gel etc.? For example I currently shampoo and condition daily. Then I use products to style and that’s about it. Thanks again.

[@lindadorame1305]

Hi Janelle I have some of the pineapple hair ties u use how do u get them out of your hair without getting caught or pulling your hair. ..... I learn so much from u !!!!! You have such a cute personally. .....I love watching your videos

[@alexisdaniellexo]

Could you do a video on your go-to hair routine/products? Like on a weekly basis what products you're regularly rotating? P.S. I am SO glad I found your channel. I went through an identity crisis with my curls after all of this squish to condish propaganda after YEARS of applying to my product to just damp hair and getting gorgeous volume and definition. I recently dropped DevaCurl because even their lightest shampoo is too heavy for me. Anyways - keep being amazing and thanks for the great, informative content!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I have one but will work on an updated routine and product video soon! I'm in a bit of experimental phase with this new hair growth so hang tight! haha

[@brainsparkdesigns]

I second that. I'm about 1 month in and I feel like every wash day is a science experiment. I'd love a good run down of how often to do what. When do I cowash, how often to deep condition, when should I clarify, how often should I low poo, what stylers are regular users and what do you use for certain things...? My head is spinning! Also, how often do you change products from one wash day to the next (like do you do the same wash day routine several times in a row or do you use different products every time you wash?) I've watched most of your videos and I know most of the answers are mentioned, but I'm having a hard time putting it all together. Thanks!

[@alexisdaniellexo]

@@brainsparkdesigns OMG!!! That analogy of the science experiment is just completely perfect. The more I simplify my routine the happier I get. I'm finally almost done with my DevaCurl wash and styler and am so excited to move on! Thinking I'm going to buy the Rizos Curls trio but am so tempted by the Woman to Woman Naturals!

[@brainsparkdesigns]

@alexis Sanchez, I just got some mop top samples in the mail today. I've been using shea moisture, but I'm deciding it's too heavy, so more experimenting...but hey, that's ok! I'm curious about the w2w line as well.

[@lorrainne81]

The Bluberry Leave In , does have proteine. You should check again

I caught that after the fact 😭pinned a comment at the top for others :)

Thanks for all of your great information! I love your laugh and great attitude! ❤️

[@adinkra100]

I just found you and I don’t know how I went through the last 35 years without knowing how to take proper care of my curly, fine locks. I always thought moisture would way it down and I was sooo wrong. I do an overnight castor and coconut oil treatment every few weeks, but thinking now I need to switch up my whole routine and integrate more products. One super simple question- when do I know it’s wash day, and how often? I typically just wash it every few days when it looks a little greasy or the curls are all stretched out.

[@JenericEyes]

Hi Jannelle! It looks you have a Maui Moisture product in a tub that you didn't address in your video. What is it and what do you use it for? I noticed it sitting there after you talked about the Red Rawkyn Hair Mask. I have wavy hair and I'm still learning about which products to use on my hair and the best way to apply them to get the results I want. I have recently started diffusing my hair on the cool setting after I apply my gel to create a cast and then scrunching out the crunch when it's dry. I seem to get much better results with this method than I do air drying my hair. I have pretty thick, coarse hair and have noticed a big change in my hair and my waves since I started taking hypothyroid medication a few years ago. Your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you!

[@x0victoria]

Youre personality is sooo cute! I’m glad I found this video 💛

[@soulsavageministries5283]

I love your videos doll!! U have helped me so much on my healthy/natural hair journey. Just wanted to show some love 💕

[@Indigo11Amoruso]

Hi Jannelle! Thank you for all your great videos. (Your dog is adorable.) Do you have a favorite protein-FREE Curl Cream, that I could use in between a leave-in and a gel, such as Spiralicious? I have such a hard time trying to find a protein free curl cream. I have low porosity, thin, fine, easily weighed down, 2c-3a or even maybe a combo with 3b, or 3c. My hair is so protein sensitive that I cannot use any protein in my stylers,...I do a 15 minute protein treatment every two weeks, followed by a deep conditioner. I do a deep conditioner every time I shampoo 2x a week, and use reg. conditioner when co-washing. My hair is also very sensitive to chemicals, so I am always reading ingredients, and like to use products with all natural, even Organic extracts. Also,...before I finish writing you this book,...I have stubborn greys right in the front and they 'pop' up every 2 weeks. I love your hair, and never see any greys in your hair, the color is very nice. Do you have any 'at-home' hair coloring tips?

[@kryslow]

New to your channel and I’m staying for the pupper!! He’s adorable and hilarious.

[@andiehr]

So happy to have found my hair twin making the best videos! Which of these gels would you say have the least protein?

[@damarissanchez9040]

[@sarahjohnson9267]

...she talked about hard water and made a pal for life! I have had trouble since I moved to my current area. I need to mix up my cleansers, thank you. Do you know your city's number? Mine is 22, high but not the highest... lots of calcium.

[@hollys2022]

Just love you and your videos! So informative! I have bought 8-10 of these products because of YOU! Now there are move I need to try! Thank you for your time and dedication to the "cause" - keep doing what your doing and keep being you! Have you ever used Innersense products? I am most intrigued by their leave in which is a gel-ish consistent in a spray. I haven't tried it yet, or any of their products. I see other curly influencers have. Just wondering about your take?

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I have not yet tried Innersense but it is definitely on my list! I will be doing more product reviews and will be sure to include it once I have!

[@sharmsong]

I loooove you videos Jannelle, but I can't help but wonder... What is your dog thinking about?

[@nellyreyes3984]

I love all the recommendations yes girl I need to get new products

[@mspurefunk5]

Yes, I need new products too. I mainly only new about Ouidad and devacurl! so many more to try. Hopefully to better results. I know my hair is dying for more moisture that lasts beyond my shower.

[@suec7267]

[@jayhulrs1435]

Do you have any drugstore budget favorites?

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Kinky Curly and Curls Blueberry Bliss line can be found at most retailers. I've seen them both at Target, Walgreens and CVS!

[@Zisjejk]

Which one is the clarifying shampoo ? And does it help with build up , itchy scalp ? Which one is for hard water ? I’m looking into the shower head filter thing , because a 6,000 water system isn’t in the budget this year

[@elmrabetrim4953]

hey jannelle! i started going to the gym like 3 times a week and I've been washing my hair only on Saturdays I use the curls blueberriy bliss collection and I'm not shur if I'm doing good for my hair especially that it tends to get a bit of dandruff and greece (disclaimer:I just started the CG methode like 2 weeks ago)

[@catherinechambers1571]

Do you have a video for a step by step daily routine? I am new to trying to bring out my natural curls. Would love an advice.

[@mjhwtz]

He, Jannelle! I haven't gotten through all of them yet, but I'm LOVING your videos! Couple quick questions. I have low porosity hair and was thinking of giving the the Woman to Woman shampoo and conditioner you mentioned a try. I've been using Innersense since June and I'm not so sure they are a good fit for me...especially the stylers. I'm still working on process as well, though, so maybe it isn't the products. May I ask how often you cleanse with the W to W shampoo and would you consider it a clarifier to the point of it removing excess build up like Kinky Curly Come Clean or a Malibu Undo Goo-type product? Also, I'm SO afraid of using a leave-in b/c my hair is baby fine and just poofs and is so soft. Would a leave-in make that worse? Thanks! :)

[@lindadorame1305]

Hi Jannelle I've tried adding my gel to damp hair and squeezing the water out instead of plopping my hair turned out fantastic.Thank You so much.And do you use your heaven in hair before shampooing?I used my righteous roots I just got before shampooing and it worked wonderfully.I have fine low por hair like you.

[@angeladietrich3026]

I love the Devacurl Deep Sea Repair mask.

[@sanabell6821]

Haha, looks like we have very similar taste! Likely cause of low-po needs. JessiCurl Spiralicious and Deep Treatment make my list. I’ve been loving Curl Keeper original for refreshes as well, but I do not believe that one is vegan. Same goes for the GVP conditioning balm

[@allonsy9808]

Hi! I really enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing! Quick question: is the Righteous Roots oil cruelty free? I cannot seem to find that information anywhere. You mentioned that most of the other products are, but you didn't mention if for this one. They say they are on the website, but there's no actual CF statement (that I've found) which I find a little hinky. The company isn't mentioned on Cruelty Free Kitty, Leaping Bunny, PETA, or anywhere that I can find. *sigh* But I could really use a good scalp stimulating, grease-free massage oil. Thanks!

[@samanthastickling720]

I love your videos and your energy!! So nice to have videos from somebody with a similar wave/curl pattern to mine. Your dog is cute but... is she on a diet?

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

She's a perfectly healthy bulldog!

[@funluvnrm]

Great video, thank you, but I have a question. How do I know when my hair needs protein please? I have 3B/3A hair, fine & has come a long ways, but concerned as sometimes my hair feels like cotton candy & I wonder IF because I use to many products or to much protein? Take care & brightest blessings always... 💞🎵🌷🌺 🌸 😆 👏 👍 💫 🌟 💛

Hi Janelle, can you please help?! I’m from Australia and I’m in the US on vacation.

The Cachos is a squirt really. I have to rub it in my hands and then put it in in my hair.

It is a squirt, i always apply to my hands first. My nails are a gel polish! I am not sure the exact color as i picked it out at my salon!

Can you do a video on how to style the back of your hair ? I really struggle with it, especially on 2nd and 3rd day hair.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I don’t do much to the back of my hair beyond washday to be honest. 😬 I can do an updated styling video. Showing how I apply products on washday. Would that help?

[@RaynahWoolsey]

Jannelle O'Shaughnessy Engels yes :)

[@wendyguardado325]

Omg this happens to me too! I hate it :(

[@aubreyb8575]

I watched your video on olaplex and you mentioned there what your hair is like when it needs protein (aka: similar to how mine is all the time!) my curls are stretched to the point where the under layer of my hair is almost completely straight, especially around my ears. I definitely want to give your protein product recommendations a try! I’m just nervous going in because I’ve never experimented with such products before and I’m not sure how much protein is too much protein 🤔

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

The stylers and deep conditioners are a good option to start with because they aren’t heavily concentrated proteins. Start with a Leave in or deep conditioner and just use a little bit. See how your hair reacts

[@adettering5513]

[@fruityloopers]

I have wavy/curly hair and alot of people with curly hair say to condition your hair alot but when i use it it honestly just makes my hair look a bit flat and usually when i put a dime amount in my hand my hair comes out like i like it im extremely confused and ive been trying to find shampoos that are mostly healthy for hair.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Good for you for listening to your hair! I can't use too much moisture for the same reason. I even use deep conditioners before shampooing haha. Follow YOUR hair needs and what YOU like. There really is no right way to do it all!

[@carolinenorton9290]

I recommend aquabliss shower filter if you have hardwater! Check it out!

[@perfectlyimperfect7373]

I agree shower filters are a huge help! I use the Sprite filter head (handheld corded one) and love it! It wasn't expensive, nor is the replacement filters, from Bed Bath & Beyond. I've noticed a huge difference in my hair and my skin.🤗

[@michellecgonzalez-moreau9727]

Hi! Jannelle! I'm new to your channel as well, and love all of your tips and advice. I have definitely benefited from your suggestions. My hair is very similar to yours although recently it has thinned out a lot . My question to you is, I workout every single day and my hair gets soaked in sweat. What would you suggest? I have been co-washing then using a leave in then shampooing around every 3rd-4th day but how can I maintain my hair healthy/not falling out? Also, the process of doing a curly hair routine everyday is time consuming. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Is it all of your hair that is being soaked in sweat or just towards your roots? If its all of your hair I would invest in a head band to absorb moisture, i would also pineapple or put it in a bun to insure it is not touching skin, back etc. When i am working out I typically pull it down after I have dabbed my back, forehead etc for excess sweat. I then fluff it out a bit so that it regains some of the shape it had previously and to air out my roots. I then will use an ACV spray. just acv diluted into warm water and spray directly onto my scalp to refresh and fight off bacteria. also prevents itching. I allow it to try and that is typically enough for me.

[@theresas2520]

I didn't care for the deva curl foam but I love the arc angel gel it has more hold then their other gels. Still need to try ouidad. Do you tend to loose a lot of hair when you wash it? I have fine curly/wavy hair and I worry about hair loss. I know not washing daily we will loose more when we do wash but not sure what is considered normal

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I am always losing hair lol. We lose about 100 strands a day normally. I don't personally look at my clump in the shower and feel like its a lot because I am used to it. But I remember how shocking it was to see after I stopped straightening my hair. If you feel like it is in excess of 100 strands a day I would discuss with your dr. IMO if you aren't seeing bald spots or particular areas that are thinning its likely normal!

[@awesomeandrea]

I love your channel! Just started my curly journey and I'm using Jessicurl now bc I'm extremely scent sensitive and their products can all be unscented. Do you know of any other unscented/fragrance free products?

Lol so hard when you said you couldn’t get rid of your empties! Sounds like a product junkie there, reminds me of myself, haha. Thanks for the video, you’re awesome! 😘

[@CindyOrtegametzli7]

So I thought low perosity doesn’t really like much protein. But you kept mentioning needing protein throughout the whole video. So now I’m very confused now. How do I know when I need protein? (I have low perosity hair)

Do you recommend these for 2a types as well? love your videos!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

yes! most are lightweight and will work for looser curl patterns!

[@bowlrgrl4evr]

Jannelle O'Shaughnessy Engels appreciate the reply! 😁

What’s a good clarifying shampoo that can be used 2-3 times a week? I work out a lot and I get a lot of build up which makes my 2c curls limp, frizzy and undefined

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Is it scalp build up or build up on your strands? If its scalp just use ACV, 1/2 cup or so in a spray bottle with warm water and spray it directly onto your scalp! If its hair, i personally would go for bounce curl clarifying shampoo!

[@Starshiner809]

@@JannelleOShaughnessy It is scalp build up :/ I have a condition where my scalp produces too much oil so that is also why I tend to get build up more easily.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Karina Bonilla ACV is going to be one of your best friends then! It fights bacteria growth etc. I keep some in a spray bottle and spray it directly onto my scalp when needed between washes!

[@Starshiner809]

Jannelle O'Shaughnessy Engels I’ll definitely give that a try? Also, do you have any tips for second day hair? I’m using al jessi curl products which defined my hair well. But I’m still struggling with so much frizz even though I sleep with a silk pillow case and bonnet. Any suggestions? I also exercise a lot so that may effect my curls too.

Where is the scalp massager / root lift comb purchased from? Thank you.

i really wanted to focus and try to find new products to use but i was so distracted by her adorable dog 🥺❤️

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

isn't she cute?!?!?! haha

Hi Jannelle, thanks for the informative video! Question about Kinky Curly products - I have only used the custard, and while I like what it does for my hair, I do NOT like the smell! Do the rest of the KC products smell the same? (I have 2b, low-porosity, fine hair fyi.) Thanks again! :)

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

The smells are not different entirely & come clean and Knot today are both more subtle scents in general.

[@tammybrownbarajas8165]

TFS 💕 I absolutely love your videos

[@lyzettevega1234]

I'm so thankful for this Tutorial...how do I know when the product has protein?

[@joannogas4391]

Lizette: Real life+curly girl just put out a video on ingredients. In addition to the aloe that Janelle mentioned is a protien, she says to look for the word "hydrolized" in the ingredient list. You'll see hydrolized wheat, soy, silk etc.

[@lyzettevega1234]

@@joannogas4391 ,very helpful! 😊

[@LizbetPCB]

Thanks for the video. Are you still using Deva Curl w/o issues?

[@kristinestortroen7253]

Do you need a satin pillow case if you have a wrap? Just wondering what's the point of both.

[@kristin10185]

Thanks for the great review! What is the ingredient called that you mentioned in a couple cleanser products that is good for hard water?

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

The natural chelating ingredient I am referring to is Sodium phytate and phytic acid. If I am remembering correctly kinky Curly Come Clean has the phytic acid.

[@katergil]

Hey Jannelle! Of the stylers and gels you recommended, are there any that particularly encourage shrinkage? I love Kinky Curly products, but the custard stretches my hair so I'm moving it out of my rotation. My hair is really struggling after the hormonal changes of having cute kiddos and nursing, and figuring out protein balance, so I need as much help as I can get in getting my curls to be defined and shrink up.

[@vangoghell]

should i do something different if my hair is coarse?? i haven't got high density tho
