I would like to see a non-wash day routine! How many days do you go without washing? How do you keep your hair from looking oily? What do you do in the morning to refresh your curls and contain frizz from sleeping? Thanks!!

[@kristawheale8785]

I would love to see this too? How often do you do this? What do you do on other days?

[@Shani03314]

Agreed!

[@sannyquidasol9428]

Ditto!

[@saddo3232]

To stop frizz in the night u should swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk or satin one bcz Cotten takes out all your natural oils and moisture and causes a lot of frizz. U can also use a silk or satin hair bonnet or scarf

[@lindaesquibel3457]

Your are lovely and your personality is so cute. I'm 63 and always wore my hair up in a ponytail. I have natural curly hair and I think my hair would look like yours with the right products. I need to embrace my curls. Your very helpful. Thank you so much 🤶🎅

[@angelamonahan2377]

Jannelle- you share very helpful curly haircare tips, but I have to say, the BEST part of your videos...... is YOU. Your genuine smile and the frequent giggle in your voice tell that you're always having fun and its infectious! I can't help but smile when I watch your vids. 😊 THANK YOU for sharing your awesome you-ness! 💜

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Thank you for saying this! I needed to hear it!!! I appreciate you ❤

[@ameliamiscione]

Thank you so much for this! I was wondering why my curls were so stringy... no more raking! it made such a difference already.

[@GBLYBT]

Where’s the shower wall covered in hair? 🤣 This video is so helpful!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

LOL! I always set it off camera, I have a habit of smearing them everywhere! Glad you found the video helpful!

[@itsGINA11]

😅😅😅😅😅 I thought mine was the only one that looked that way

[@CallMeKittyRawrr]

No joke I was about to say the same thing!!! I have long thick curly hair! Straight girls are able to brush there hair so I assume they don't have a wall covered in hair? What can I do to prevent so much fallout? or is it inevitable? She says no more raking, but I can't stop bc sooo much shedding... (even after i've already brushed under the water with my wide tooth comb) is this normal???

[@laurenhorning4401]

Hahaha, I am so glad that I'm not the only one!

[@mspurefunk5]

Oh straight hair falls out too. I try to swirl mine together so doesn’t get all slimey in the drain. Wish mine would just curl All up!

[@annamacm4063]

Love your videos! Thanks for making it all look lots less time-consuming, complicated and fussy than so many curly hair vids seem to do! Your hair is gorgeous!

It definitely doesn't have to be so complicated. I am glad you found this video beneficial in highlighting that!

I have been struggling pretty bad with attempting to master a curly hair routine. Your channel has helped so much! I just followed this step by step (my hair is closer to 2c so not as curly as yours), but this has truly worked wonders. Thank you for sharing your valuable insight! You kept me from reaching for my Brazilian keratin treatment and a straightener! I’m still very new to my CG journey, but I hope my curls will only get better from here. You are awesome! :)

that is so awesome to hear!!!!

[@s8d8h8]

Your hair is the closest to mine that I've seen on KZbin! Thank you for the tutorial. My hair isn't as curly on top as yours is... did that come with time or is there anything you've done to help the top of your head curl better?

[@leannj1970]

Thank you for stressing the fact that you don’t rake your fingers through your hair after you get your conditioner distributed. I hear so many people say they comb/rake through their hair after they get out of the shower, then wonder why their hair is frizzy. I NEVER comb/brush/rake after I get my conditioner in my hair.

[@katebowes1]

Leann McGovern I wish I didn’t have to brush it after shower and gel but if I don’t I get loads of halo frizz it’s so annoying xxx

[@SophiaWilson]

i have curly hair and i am just now figuring out how to care for it. i was given a hair routine by my hair dresser along with my own personal research but i’m still not getting the curls i want yet. after watching this i realized some of the mistakes i had been making! especially the raking...😬 thank you sm for this video!

[@annalisasawatzky3696]

I'm new to the CG method and this was so helpful. I have never been brave enough to touch my hair as much as you do while styling (for fear of frizz), but I see now that is what creates the amazing volume you have (and no frizz!). Thank you for sharing your techniques. I can't wait to try it.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I do have a little frizz. But its the typical frizz you have with curly hair. I find that if i keep the focus on my roots and move my hair at the lengths with no raking its possible to manipulate my hair quite a bit without causing excess frizz!

[@saralynch8085]

I love your hair! You have some of the best curly hair on social media. Love your videos, too!

[@jessieborrell1856]

I know this is an old video now, but thank you for the great tip about fixing any curls that didn't quite dry right. If I plop too long, then my curls end up bent like that and a bit wonky and I wasn't sure how to fix it! Same with the under layers that look straighter, I have that same problem and i thought it was just my hair but i'm curious to see if I dry it upright if it'll help. I'm still new to CGM. The healthy hair that's coming in and responding well to CGM is a bit similar to yours. I'm hoping after some TLC and a good haircut it'll bounce up haha I have ringlety pieces towards the roots and in some places throughout where I dont have bleach but then from midshaft to ends its more of a wave from the bleach damage. Definitely is a process!

Great video! Going to give some of this a go when I wash my hair tomorrow. I'm still in a love/hate stage with my hair and find myself missing the smoothness of the straightened hair. Do you part your hair deliberately or allow it to part how it wants to?

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

For the most part I let it do what it wants. Typically a flip forward/side to side helps it find its place!!!

[@deefhead8440]

This is so thorough and helpful!!

[@erikapasternack2918]

Our hair is the same length and very similar in texture, but your curls are tighter than my curly waves. I'm honestly thinking it has something to do with the way I style it. I'm going to try this today and I'll keep you posted on how it worked for me! I'll tag it #jannellesgotmycurls ♡♡♡♡♡

From start to finish, how long do you think this takes you? I need to figure out a faster routine. I think my kids think I live in my bathroom.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Too long haha. Its probably about 2 hours all said and done but I can make it happen in 1 if I really need to by not air drying as much and jumping straight to diffusing. The air drying portion takes the longest. Have you tried plopping over night?

[@budicheeks]

Jannelle O'Shaughnessy Engels I actually have tried plopping overnight with a net instead of a t shirt, but curls are kinda wonky.

[@kristawheale8785]

@@budicheeks what is plopping?

[@budicheeks]

Krista Wheale it’s where you use a t shirt or microfiber towel and lay it flat then “plop” your curls onto it. Twist it around the sides and your curls are sort of accordioned in the towel. Try searching it.

[@kristawheale8785]

[@insatiatehope8842]

This was so helpful for newbies like me! 😄

[@curlsandtwirlsfordayscurla6638]

What is the benefit you find from mostly air-drying and then diffusing? Does it help your cast set or curls come out more defined?

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

If i diffuse my hair too soon it tends to make my hair really flat. waiting gets me the best definition and volume. Diffusing too much also tends to make my hair drier even with cold air so staying away from it as long as possible is a win win.

[@rileyg.3405]

I should try that thank u

[@saralynch8085]

Hi Janelle! I notice you put product in out of the shower when your hair is partially dry. This is completely different from what other CM videos show. When getting ready for work I don’t have time to air dry that long. Any recommendations? Love your hair and your videos!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

If i am in a time crunch i occasionally use paper towels to scrunch and soak up extra moisture. If you use and like towels that works too i would just be cautious because they tend to soak up more water than necessary. But that will expedite the drying process so you can apply to damp curls.

[@renaeb7081]

Wow, your hair looks sooooo good!

[@kellyhaygood2514]

Hi Jannelle! I’m so happy I found your Instagram and KZbin channel! You are great with giving information. I’m new to CG and having a hard time finding what my hair likes. No matter what I do, my ends stick together and look thin. It sucks. My last wash day I did it your way with putting my products in after it has dried a little which has helped, but do you have any advice to separate the clumps at the end? Thank you!!!

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I wash my hair every 4 to 7 days.

[@aletheakelly1010]

And how long does it last? By day 2 are you putting it up in a pony tail or bun? What fo you do to refresh the curl after a day or two?

[@theresas2520]

I just started a few months ago and can now go every 3 to 4 days before washing again. You definitely have to refresh though..I love deva curls refreshing spray.

[@-nadine-3509]

@@aletheakelly1010 no no don't ever put your hair in a bun it is going to turn it into a frizzy, tangled ball of hair and it will shrink and look like it hasn't been brushed for a year. Put it in a loose pineapple and when u loosen ur hair you'll notice that it doesn't stay up like when it is in a bun. When u sleep put the ends of ur hair while in a pineapple at the front so u won't crush ur curls while sleeping

All the fingers at the roots techniques you use obviously work very well for you. Your hair looks great. Unfortunately all those techniques do for me is create tangles.

Just discovered your channel and love your videos, do you now use the comb instead of the scalp massager , I think I'd be scared to put a comb to my roots.. I don't think we can get those products in the Uk , shame the gel stuff looks good for the roots.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I always use the scalp massager. On a rare occasion I will rat my roots for extra volume but that is the only time I am putting an actual comb to my hair.

[@710ASD]

Do you use a microfiber towel after going out of the shower or you just air dry? Also, I have a little question about my hair and I hope you can help me with that 😬 the thing is that my hair does not curl at the roots and I don't know what to do to solve that problem :c any ideas?

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Hi Carmen! I do not use a Microfiber towel, or any towel. I just scrunch out the soaking water and allow to air dry! Have you tried watching my tips for volume? I do a lot of little things to get and keep my hair from sitting flat on my scalp and to lift the weight away from the root. Too much weight on the curls is more often than not the problem IMO.

[@itsGINA11]

sometimes they way you get your hair cut can take some of the weight off your roots & will allow it to curl

[@-nadine-3509]

@@itsGINA11 omg that's what happens to my hair!! Flat at the roots and slightly curly at the very ends! But my hair has always been flat at the roots ever since I was a child even with short hair cuts. My hair is currently layered because it's thick, any suggestions for a hair cut that would make it defined?

[@wearelegion1163]

I have pretty flat hair at the top, even though I have layers. Try making a few loose pin curls on top. Check out Athena Padilla’s KZbin channel. She has amazing tips for curly girls,

[@amandathatgirl2997]

Some of my coils are so tight there’s no length whatsoever. The curl just compresses in from the last curl so that it’s like a solid ringlet that looks more like a barrel. This is my underside and my baby hairs. My other hair ranges from 3A to 3C hair. It’s as though half my head inherited a completely different hair texture and curl type. How do I deal with this? Most of these videos for curly girl recommend one routine for a certain hair type. Edit: my hair resembles yours on top but under my hair around the neck you’d see tight 1/4 inch tight coils and as it goes toward the top it gets the standard curl that is more broad and doesn’t compress as much.

[@motherspiders3913]

You apply products when it's 50% dry?

[@rhonda6891]

I have long hair and it tangles so much in the shower and wet. This is causing me so much frizz any suggestions.

[@auntjennik1]

[@oceane0776]

I really enjoyed your video it is so helpful ! But I feel like if I put as much conditioner on my scalp it will be super greasy and I will have to re-wash my hair once it’s dry... I dont know how to manage curls and oily scalp 😫

[@sugoiharris1348]

I know this is like a year late, but i had a similar problem. I learned that i was over drying my scalp and it will getting super oily to compensate. I started with using dry shampoo between washes to extend how often i washed and then focused on hydrating without silicones(my scalp actually breaks out in hives when I use silicones and sulfates). I co wash more often than not. It took some time, but once I realized my oily scalp was actually my scalp telling me i was drying it out to much, I was able to get it under control and hardly get an oily scalp/roots anymore.

[@luciarinon6111]

Also I’m a sweater not a 🧥but a 💦. What did I do if I can’t possibly condition wash? I’d be so gross and oily if I did that although I do understand that washing with sulfate free conditioner requires hand work to clean the hair in place of the kind of foaming agents in shampoos that we depend on to do the work for us.

[@anastasiayurkevich467]

Question: is there a specific reason why you don’t put your styling products when your hair is soaking wet?

[@MsShellyV7]

This is so interesting to me (this is my 1st time watching a wash day video with your text of curl) how often do you do your wash day and if it's not every day how long does it last? Also I'd recommend you getting a pick instead of using the comb to fluff and lift it will give you more control and focus on the roots.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

I typically can stretch my washdays 4-7 days. Less is better for me. I also don't mind less definition and a little frizz which helps with them lasting so long. Do you think a pick would work for a looser curl type that isn't very dense? I've always assumed I didn't have enough hair to benefit.

Try products formulated specifically for wavy hair! They tend to have all the hold but are formulated to be lightweight! Also, mousses, custards and foams are good stylers! Try and stick with one styler and it will also really reduce weight!

I'm so glad I watched this. I have fine hair that I think is low porosity (I just watched your porosity video minutes ago) but it gets oily so easily. I've tried using more conditioner but it seemed to make the oily scalp issue worse. I just started using the smallest amount of conditioner. I could not believe how much conditioner you just put into your hair. My hair must be really dry if I'm not using much conditioner, right? What should I do if my hair is fine and I get oily quickly? :( Thank you for all your help! I'm struggling trying to figure out my mane.

[@JannelleOShaughnessy]

Conditioner is seriously the worst thing that can happen to a scalp lol. I am glad you were able to assess it and get it figured out! Don't worry about how much I use. If a little bit is working for you stick with that. Part of the reason i use more product is because i have hard water and it builds up on hair making it harder for me to work product in.

I keep trying to apply my stylers later, after my hair has started to dry, and the frizz is crazy. There is no recovery except rewetting and basically, starting over. No bueno. Have you tried putting the mousse in your hair while still in the shower? Then, apply the gel after half-way dry. Or do you apply all of them later in the process to keep the volume? Thanks!

The only product i apply in the shower is the leave in. My hair can't handle the weight from products on soaking wet hair. You might be using too many protein heavy products and/or products with glycerin (humectants) that are drawing in too much moisture and swelling the hair.

Hi! I’m coming up on two months curly girl method. Trying to find a styling method that works for me. Lately I’ve been finger coiling but I find that that method usually always makes my hair feel product heavy (no matter how many different ways I try it). Unless I do what I did last wash day which was only use leave in and a small bit of mousse. And now my delicate curls aren’t holding between washes and I’m left with a frumpy mess of used to be curls. Anyway, I have similar hair to yours I believe. Low porosity, with small clumping 2c/3a strands. I want to try this method outlined, but I wonder if I should wait til I have “trained” my curls a bit more with finger coiling? What are your thoughts? Thanks for always being so helpful!

I would give it a try! I personally get less definition the more I physically manipulate my hair. That might not be the case for you but its worth a try! Experimenting one wash won't slow your progress!
