I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR FINALLY BEING THE FIRST PERSON I CAN RELATE TO FOR FINE AND CURLY HAIR 😭 we are not appreciated AT ALL.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

I know! We are not well represented in the curly community. But I have found many others have similar hair to mine, and in some cases even lower density.

[@vanessagonzalez7509]

@@blancaestela4197 Definitely Protein! And sealing your hair after you moisturize it (Theres a product by verb that also has good acidity and balances your hairs PH) as well as styling products from olaplex, aveda or AG that contain protein. Shea moisture's shampoo and conditioner (The orange one) helps because it has protein too.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

@@blancaestela4197 make sure you go to the Dr to rule out any medical conditions too

[@annvassallo2604]

I totally relate to that cowlick in the back where you can see the scalp! I know I'm not going bald, but when I see that, that's what I think about it looking like.

[@eman4362]

notes from the video less products lighter products less conditioner depending on where you are in term of humidity use moss or gel because it’s light don’t use conditioner on the roots area no styling products on the roots area deep conditioner on dirty hair before shampooing try protein treatments rice water

[@HolisticEnchilada]

👍

[@perolikewhytho7174]

I read that you’re supposed to deep condition after cleansing because of the different ph levels of the products

[@TheClairelikescats]

Love this! It's hard to find content like this for fine curlies, and thankfully I've found lighter products like Giovanni products that work for me but in the beginning of my curly hair journey, it was rough haha. Hopefully thin curlies who are newer in their journey find this video and don't have to deal with the buttery buildup I did 😂💕

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Haha yes! Thank you 🥰

[@RNIvy]

I’m so glad I found you! Sitting here with weird looking hair after following yet another tip from a KZbinr that doesn’t live in Florida and doesn’t know the struggle with tons of humidity+having thin hair! Thank you for posting this!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Haha, happy to help!

[@iaelborntosing9756]

I'm SO glad i've found your channel ☺️ I have fine curly hair also and it's really frustrating watching the curly KZbinrs, and trying to follow their routine 😓

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Yay! I hope my tips help you

[@MsKimby]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this video talking about the modifications that you've made! My hair seems to be very similar to yours so I can identify with so many things you say. I just want my hair routine to be simple and as little product as possible. I'm new to all of this as my hair has always been as straight as a board up until the last couple of years! Now it's gotten very wavy - I'm not sure how our why that's happened, but it's created a whole new styling method for me to deal with! Again, thank you for giving me a lot of insight about it.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

You're welcome! I'm glad it'd helpful. Good luck 👍

[@NanaJuJu814]

Thankful to have found you! I have watched so many curly hair videos and finally found someone with hair like mine! Its thin but I have quite a lot of volume and I have that same part at the back of head that is so hard to cover. Thankfully the curly hair does provide much volume and have tricks now thanks to you! I’ve been using to much product and conditioner. Going to try your way and hope for better results!

[@florl.delgado4093]

I have NEVER heard this before. Been struggling for years! Definitly will do! I like your personality. Thank you.

[@korieb6762]

So glad I found your channel! Finally someone talking about fine curly hair. I feel like we're always the forgotten curlies!

[@easko4418]

Thank you, for this video. I've been trying other people's methods and my hair looks horrible. I'm going to try your methods.

[@crowe5130]

Omg...I just started my curly hair journey and your info is so incredibly helpful! Thank you!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Happy to hear that! Good luck 👍

[@christinaray2645]

Thank you!!!! I have never been able to understand how people can style upside down without the back of their hair going weird. I have watched so many videos and none of them have that issue. It just goes perfect. Maybe long, fine, thin Curly hair is the issue. I would LOVE to see how you fix that issue (I’m a visual learner).

[@HolisticEnchilada]

I show this in my updated EVOLVh video which I think you saw, but let me know if you still need help with this

[@karenn993]

I gave up using sulfate free shampoo as I felt they just weren't getting my hair clear and my hair was flat with poor quality curls. I'm aware that the CG method disapproves of sulfates, but for me they work.

[@carlyjackson5732]

Thank you so much for this!!!! My hair is thin and low density and 3a/3b -- I felt like all the tips in other videos were not working quite right and my hair wasn’t responding the same way as other people!! I feel like you’re talking about my hair when u describe your hair issues lol! I really appreciate you putting this info on your channel

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Happy to hear! Thanks for watching 😊

[@corn8petunia]

I am so glad I came upon this video. I have tried to follow the curly girl method from watching other videos that curly girls make. My hair is fine with medium volume and it was impossible for me to put as much product on as those with thick, course curly hair. You are the first one that has addressed this issue for those with fine and thinner volume curly hair. The advice you give is right on for our hair type. I will have a harder time finding and using light weight products than most because I do not use products that test on animals. Even if a product does wonders on my hair type, if the company tests, I will not buy it. But thank you for your video. You are God sent for us fine and thin curly haired women! Thank-you so much!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

I'm so happy to hear that! And yes looking for cruelty free makes things more difficult but most of the brand I use are cf

[@handknitviolin]

Sue, you should look at the brand the original Moxie. I use the featherweight conditioner and it's very light, good for fine low density hair.

[@annaburns5382]

Thanks for the good info. There is never enough for people with hair like ours! I was curious about the deva foam that the stylist used on your hair. How much did they apply to your hair, and how was your hair on the following days. I like the idea of mousse, but usually they make my hair look stringy. I have not tried Deva mousse, but maybe will.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

She applied it using the take and shake method, about 2 palm fulls of foam. It looked really nice for a few days and not stringy but I haven't been able to reproduce the same results myself 😆

[@anakaallen2498]

I got severe damage from using Deva products last December and my hair is still recovering. Anyone watching who might be thinking of going the Deva route, don't do it! Just google DevaCurl damage to see why.

[@annamariajohnson8333]

Great video which really resonated with me. So much of what you said about your hair is the same for mine. My hair has really thinned in volume over the last two years or so, complete with that gap at the back of the head where the scalp can be seen. Day one my hair looks okay, unless the air outside is damp; then it looks really terrible! In the UK, this is true for most of the year, unfortunately! My hair resembles cobwebs from day two! I also have a thyroid problem. Women with very fine hair/hair fall should visit their GP to check there are no underlying health conditions.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

My hair has recently started falling out from a thyroid imbalance so I totally understand. Thanks for your feedback.

[@sherilynschneider]

Hi there - I just found your channel today. So happy I did. My hair is very fine, 2B/2C. My hair is easily weighed down. Even my hairstylist can’t seem to get this. She piles it on. I leave there with volume. Within an hour it is a stringy mess! She doesn’t get to see that....lucky her, Thx for the video! I am a subscriber now for sure!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you found this video helpful. Hopefully these tips work for you too 😊

[@emmapinn5216]

Thanks so much, very helpful

[@HolisticEnchilada]

You're welcome 😊

[@dennissems]

Great advice. I use very little conditioner as well. It weighs my hair down. I use very little leave in (depends on my hair needs).

[@katiechamberlin4194]

I have never felt so justified in the way I take care of my hair. It can be so frustrating watching videos hoping for tips that will actually work for your hair and then it’s the same tips you know won’t work. Thank you so much for giving these tips because it’s so hard to find info for this hair type. I’m also vegan so then the selection I have of products is that much smaller. EVOLVh is amazing though and I’m always thankful that I can use their products

[@HolisticEnchilada]

I know that feeling! I'm always reading tips I know won't work for me. Thanks for watching 🥰

[@empoweringvitality2769]

Thank you for this video, I thought I was going bald because I saw my scalp. I previously had pixie cuts but would lose my 2b waves

[@nancydoyle4072]

Thank you for making me LAUGH sooo much about my hair. Sad story is, I got cancer, then my hair thinned AND curled. Seriously? NOW, with cancer under control :) I still have to deal with a whole new hair thing. Thanks for your great advice!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Happy to help! I've heard this from other cancer survivors so it's a thing. Take care 💕

[@smilemtb2]

Thank you for this video! I’ve been watching a ton of curly hair videos and trying their methods and nothing worked...I’d always go back to my own way, which is a lot of what you said!! Specifically less conditioner and using gel and mousse. I just have a few more adjustments to make per your recommendations and I think I’ll be very happy! Thank you again!!

[@honey_seafoam3536]

I had an issue with my hair being fine, thin, and shedding and I had to go to the endo and have some blood tests done for free testosterone and thyroid and cortisol levels. I ended up getting a prescription for aldactone and it balanced out my body chemistry more and my hair thickened back up. I got it bc I had pcos tho, another cause of hair loss is hypothyroidism. Sometimes it is just genetics tho.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Yes hair loss should always be checked by your doctor. I am glad you found a solution that worked out for you. I don't have a lot of shedding or hair loss, my hair has just always been thin.

[@annamariajohnson8333]

I like your comment, Gabrielle, and well pointed out.

[@ceptember.]

That prescription didn't work for me :/

[@lorrainelogsdon8378]

I appreciate this SO MUCH! Thank you!

[@luisalemus]

Nice video, I started using the kinky curly knot today for leave in and I had a ball of hay for hair and did not understand why

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Oh no! I've never used that leave in so I can't compare it to others

[@lucitalawson7101]

Very helpful. My hair is just like yours. Even showing scalp in the crown. Thanks so much!

[@simplyangie6806]

Dry shampoo is definitely my best friend too!! I have that problem with the scalp being a bit see-through in the back when my volume is down. I haven't tried EVOLVh yet but they are on my wish list. Great vid!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Thank you! EVOLVh is great 😊

[@patricemarie3412]

Thank you so much!! I've been doing a lot of things wrong. I'll have to go back and take notes.

I’ve also noticed that using an old school banana clip, or French clip as some call it, when I pineapple at night leaves me with so much less breakage.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Such a great tip!

[@stephanieflint1937]

I actually use about 6 products but suave has a mousse that is also a leave in conditioner that I absolutely love

[@stephanieflint1937]

Also I dont use conditioner at all but when I say 6 products that also includes heat protection but I went through a ton of products before I found a combo that worked but I use pea size amounts

[@alexandravio]

Really amazing information thank you :D . Do you have any specific tips for people with extremely coarse hair (thick shaft) but really low density of hair?

[@HolisticEnchilada]

I would focus on the recommendations for your porosity. Do you know what it is?

[@alexandravio]

Holistic Enchilada very high porosity unfortunately. It soaks up anything i put in it.

[@annaburns5382]

I just tried evolvh control curl cream again. I have mixed feelings about it. I like the fragrance. I like that it does not have ingredients in it that darken my hair, like what I have been using lately. I have blond hair and and some styling products really make my hair much darker. I noticed that it elongated my curls a lot, which is not necessarily a bad thing. So now I don't have curls, but waves. Another thing, I have to use a lot, at least a tablespoon, and that stuff is very expensive, and I get no cast from it. I am going to give it some more time. I bought the full size bottle since I got a discount code.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Hmm if after trying it a few times you're not happy then it's probably not the best styler for your hair. You can sell it in a Facebook group if you want. But it took me a few tries to get it right and it works best for me if I diffuse vs air dry.

[@annaburns5382]

@@HolisticEnchilada I"m not giving up yet.

[@xnuccio]

I have no idea how to tell if my own hair need moisture or protein cus it seems normal to me😐 also I don’t know if some products work or not.. as at the moment using aveda light weight products and it’s curly site, but my roots are still flat but I think I’m in need of a good layer cut ..

[@HolisticEnchilada]

It can be tricky. Most people don't need protein in addition to what's already in your products so don't worry about that. Get a good cut, use lightweight products, clarify and deep condition regularly, and all should be good in time.

[@Danae190708]

I'm wondering what your porosity level is? I am low porosity, low density, medium 2a/2b/2c I use volumizing products and they don't seem enough but if I use more than one or anything heavier it falls flat. I'm protein sensitive. I have yet to find a process . Anyone?

[@jules5841]

Thank you for the info! Am going to try some of these tricks at home and see what works for me. Do you have any more specifics on using dry shampoo, like how to apply it and stuff? everytime I try using it my head just feels horrible, and I can't quite figure out what's wrong. Also do you use the standard white powders or a dry shampoo for dark hair?

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Some don't feel that great. I recently started applying it with a Kabuki brush and I like it better. I used the standard white powder. Maybe I'll do a video on it

Ohhh thankyou for saying oils don't work for all low porosity hair "lock the moister in with oil" it doesn't work for me no matter which oil I use. The whole time it gives my hair a wet look Arghhh!! Iam struggling with volume although. Does you hair loose the hold by the end of the day? Cause mine do. The next day while refreshing it's all tangley and messed up istead of clumps they become strands. I do brush them when they are wet on refresh days,otherwise the end product is strands of curly hair instead of clumps.

[@HolisticEnchilada]

It used to happen to me but not anymore. It's pretty common for your hair to lose its hold in the beginning.

I've been on my cg journey for @ 4 months and still feel very much like a newbie. Can you please tell me what a hair buff is? 😊 Also, I've tried several light weight leave-in conditioners but they all weigh down my curls. I would appreciate any suggestions for a leave-in you think might work. My hair is color treated (Kenra brand deposit, demi-permanent only), low porosity, fine texture and thin density. Thank you!

[@HolisticEnchilada]

You can skip leave in. I do sometimes and it works fine. I'll post a link to the buff I use when I get on my computer.

OK I’ve been watching your videos for hours and I see you’re a Florida girl like me I am outside a lot with my orchids sweating bullets in my hair is so frizzy do you have a video with hairstyles For Florida girls that are outside a lot that can’t wear your hair down in the summer it’ll be soaking wet with sweat LOL

[@HolisticEnchilada]

Lol girl! I just pineapple when I'm outside. High ponytail, not too tight. Then I take it down when I come in, fluff it out, and let the sweat dry. Usually it just needs a little smoothing out with watered down product.

[@tammyslack6070]

Holistic Enchilada I wish it was that easy for me I have problems with my neck, and the frizz and the nots from the humidity and sweet ruins my hair, I do pineapple but it’s still a mess So I guess I just need to go with protective hairstyles for the summer and I’ll wait for fall to wear it down any hairstyle videos please

[@HolisticEnchilada]

I guess, buns, braids, etc. I do have 2 videos with hairstyles/updos. I'm on my phone so I can't check which playlist they're in.

So avoid shampoos and conditioners with shea butter and loads of oils in them?
