Thank you for the bullet points and simplifying how to begin. I was overwhelmed.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

So glad it helped. Good luck!

[@alicialemire2551]

I’ve watched a few of your videos and love how realistic you are! I’ve been struggling with my hair ever since I’ve had my daughter and can’t seem to find my groove yet!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Oh thanks! It does take some time to figure it out so keep playing around with styling methods and I'm sure you'll be happy soon.

[@MsBov77]

I am so happy I found you! I feel like you are describing my hair when you first started the cg journey. I have tryed to revived my curls but all the products I’ve tried were too havy for my hair and it get overwhelming for sure. I will follow these steps and work on my patience. I really think patience will be my challenge.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

You got this! Hope these tips help

[@starfaceorganics1379]

Oh my goodness what I just need cause I want my curls to come back to life 💜

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Yes! Give it a try I promise it works!

[@stephaniedaniels8607]

Looking forward to giving this a try, my hair has so much frizz!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Good luck! It will definitely improve.

[@sonseraehonaker4128]

Hey thank you for ur videos I’ve watched many videos I found out I have 2a fine frizzy and dry high Porosity hair but confused on products I need I’ve dyed my hair a lot and stopped what routine and products do I need I’d appreciate it alot

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Thanks! Check out this post where I list which products are good by hair type holisticenchilada.com/how-to-start-curly-girl-method/

[@shielahhornbeck2046]

Would love to see a favorites video

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Thanks for the feedback. Adding it to the list of videos I'm filming.

[@jules5841]

I'm new to both your channel and CG in general. Do you have any tips on what to ask/look for when getting a haircut? I feel like the hairdresser I usually go to only has 1 default: blow dry my hair super straight.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

I always ask them not to style or straighten my hair, just cut it. And I take my own products to be washed with. Then I style when I get home. I also tell them a slightly longer length than what I really want to account for shrinkage, and not razor! Take photos of examples in too as they helps them visualize better the shape.

[@jules5841]

@@HolisticEnchilada Thanks for this! I'm trying to figure out how to tell this to my local hairdresser 😅

[@atiqakhan8715]

do u think u could tell us a shampoo or brand that has everything u said in the video?

[@HolisticEnchilada]

I list my favorites in the description of every video and the shop page of my website. Check it out

[@jessicajimenez7026]

Is a Final wash always necessary? And which products do you recommend for that?

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Yes to remove silicones and buildup. Any shampoo with a sulfate that doesn't have silicones will do. Try a clarifying shampoo like Kinky Curly Come Clean.

[@NycolaCola]

No brushing even when hair is wet? I feel like my hair got more waves back when I used to brush it after I got out of the shower, versus now when I finger detangle it in the shower

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Truly CG is no brushing ever. I used to use a brush to detangle but I don't need to anymore. I notice that when I use a brush I don't get good clumps, and then I end up with more frizz and less definition. But for some people a brush works. So experiment and do what works for your hair. 🙂

[@Love4ourFamily]

Some of my products have “Benzyl Alcohol”. I’m assuming I shouldn’t use them b/c of the alcohol but still want to check.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

That's not one you need to worry about.
