Thanks 😁

Me too

I do too!

Can you explain to me please?

María Maroni most CGM approved products you can buy at stores and even some higher end lines cause build up on the hair. There are only a few brands that are truly water soluble and do not cause build up: Raw Curls, Innersense, Mop Top, Jessicurl, Giovanni Eco Chic, and Kinky Curly. If you use some water soluble products and some that are not, your hair will not be able to heal from the inside.

Same, I just started too 😂

It also depends on the water. If it’s hard, it can lead to build up afaik

co washing was just terrible. It looked fine the first time I did it because my hair was quite dry, but by the second it looked disgusting. This should only be done to hair that severely suffers from lack of moisture. It will not work for most people, and even for those that it does work for they should still be clarifying every once in a while depending on their hair

I use Color Wow's Dream Filter between every couple of shampoos to get rid of mineral buildup bc of hard water.

I know penny Tovar has a video on that topic

Swavy curly courtney just made a video about that!

Hahaha I’ve done Fiona from Shrek, which was super fun, but yes Merida is on my list👌🏼Thank you 🥰

Draws Heu try using more gel/mousse, try to don’t touch it during the day (specially when it’s wet) and protect it while you sleep. In the past I swear my hair was wavy but all that little changes make me make it to the third day with still great curls

The biggest thing that helped me was to use crazy amounts of a strong hold gel. Definitely sleep with it in a scarf or a pineapple (tied on the crown of your head), as well.

Ana Mercedes Martinez Torres thank you so much! I actually only own a curl smoothie from Maui! You have any good recommendations?

Blue Redyns thank you! That’s a really great tip, I have to try to tie my hair at night, thanks!

Draws Heu I really love not your mother, their curl line gives me life and I think it’s really economic 😁

You should check out the r/curlyhair subreddit, I have found it very helpful for finding products and information. Good luck on your journey! 😊

@@rhythmandblues_alibi Thanks so much!

Camryn-Adrianna LOCKMAN You should check out “naturallycurly.com”. It was incredibly helpful when I transitioned back to curls. (As well as vids on here of course!). Good luck on your journey. I found that patience is a must... don’t give up! I transitioned back in January and it was one of the best things I’ve done for myself. I do a modified curly girl method. Remember, your hair, your rules! What works for one curly girl, may not work for another. Just have fun with it ❤️

You dont have to spend a fortune!!keep an eye on my channel for cheap routines x

2 months later: How is it going?

same dude. same 👌🏼

Coconut oil is not too heavy for your hair? I can not use any coconut oil or shea butter as main ingredients in the leave-in, they usually weigh my hair down. Mousses are lighter than gel, you can also give a try!

@Rose Renee Thank you! Yes, that's probably the method I'm most successful with. I have lots of shorter layers so when I wake up I look like I've been through a high wind 🤣. Probably still better for my husband to see than a bonnet tho 😉.

I had the same problem had to shop around a lot

i find if i loosely tie a scrunchy around it only once or twice it works very well

I know it's not helpful but I literally travel two hours to Miami from my hometown to get my hair cut 😂 I was growing my hair from a buzzcut and got two different trims where they cut too much cuz they weren't used to curly hair and it made it way shorter so I decided to go to a specialist for trims at least until it grows out to my shoulders

I would ask for lots of long layers (helps with volume)

I would love ask if he/she would cut it dry.

Hey, soaking your hair everyday could potentially cause damage to the cuticles as everytime you wet and dry your hair they swell and shrink, which I've heard can make the hair fragile. At least that is my understanding. When I first started out, my curls didn't last that well, but now I properly protect them overnight and take the care to give my hair what it needs on wash day, my curls last better. Perhaps try adding a bit more product on wash day? I find strong hold gels really help :)

Emma Wishart you could spray a mix of conditioner and water onto your hair to reactivate the gels, I know it’ll work for gels whose first ingredient is water. This is how I refresh my curls...

Not parting makes all the difference

Hi, what do you guys mean by not parting please?

A minefield is the best description of curls 🤣

My hair is the same but I have research that there may be product build up. Clarify your hair with a clarifying shampoo or just anything without silicone. You can also use baking soda method. Style your hair in sections. Get layers. Or apply products closer to the root. If your hair is long it might just be because your hair is being weighed down. Most of these don’t work for me but I hope they work for you.

have you tried finger coiling?

Jessica Sconzert Honestly I think my hair just looks a different colour in different lighting! It’s not changed colour drastically over the years, but it has lightened and got less ginger with age - not really sure why. I think it gets lighter in the summer too when the sun bleaches it x

anyone?

If your hair gets oily easily, I suggest washing it more often but not too often. Wait and see when it starts getting oily and weighed down and time that to how often you wash your hair.

Do your products have glycerin in? Depending on the weather (!) glycerin can cause more frizz as the molecules reach out to take water from the air...Manes by Mell has a video explaining it!

Loretta Rendon check out my hair routine video 😘

it may be that your hair is damaged. Try to not brush it at ALL when your hair is wet and only use the t-shirt for about 15 minutes. Then let your hair breathe for a bit. Another reason it can get oily is because you wash it everyday. Washing your hair everyday strips the hair. Check out Brad Mondo xD. Also when your hair is wet try to scrunch it like how she does in the video, it really does help. You may be 2c-3a. I used to think I was 2a-2b. I later on thought I was 2b-2c. Now I am realizing my hair was damaged af and my hair is actually 3a. Also, a leave in conditioner plus a gel might help with frizz. Try putting your conditioner only on the bottom of your hair, not your scalp. And very minimal product on ur scalp.

try swapping your shampoo for a light cowash/cleansing conditiner every wash. curlyswavycourtney has a video on how to cowash oily hair.

Me too! Every time! It just looks dry and frizzy

Use a leave in under the gel and make sure the gel has a pretty strong hold :) also using a sealing oil to break the cast may help with the frizz

Thank you

I use gel as a seal for my products. My hair gets super dry so I have put together products that work well. I start with either a detangler or primer. The styling includes my curl cream which is very light and moisturising. I finish with my gel. I use a liquid gel so it doesn’t build crazy or weigh it down. Also, try using a hair serum when scrunching it out. That genuinely helps out a bunch 😊

Try scrunching it a ton. Also, you want to spread out the gel and oil throughout your hair but without a brush. Make sure you don't put conditioner on top of your scalp a ton, only a bit to massage it. Same with styling products. Also, make sure to not brush your hair while wet and protect it at night. You also may be washing your hair too often if u are producing tons of oil.

I made the mistake of putting way too much products into my hair. I overloaded with gel and it made my hair exactly how you describe it. Don’t use too much product, you can always add more but it takes a lot of effort to get it out again.

Maris Ogechi Nwokoro I have a video about that x

Ana Mercedes Martinez Torres Hahaha, it’s the worst isn’t it, cause you know your hair can look so much better 😂

My hair always looks perfect when I have to stay at home 😂 like now in quarantine

Could try using a stronger hold gel?

@@hanzcurls I use cantu curling gel

It depends on you. I wash my hair 2-3 times per week, when I go to the gym 3 times. I do not like my hair looks greasy or it smells bad, so at the first sign of that, I wash it! :D. Many persons can be 1 week or even more without washing their hair, they say no problem! I have thin hair, I can not do that, sooo! Everyone's hair is different, try to do what's best for you! :)

Why do you hate your hair?

Hey! I've seen some people sleep on a bamboo pillowcase - this may be an option for you?

Thank you, definitely something I'll try.

I personally wear a mesh bonnet to bed, rather than a silky one. It's a lot more breathable and the holes are tiny enough that the hair doesn't get ruffled 😀 (made mine from an old laundry delicates bag!)

I get it cut by a curl specialist :) I talk more about this is my Q&A vid x

That product has a bit of a misleading name. It's definitely more of a low poo.

Low poo will have less of the strong cleansers in them. Some people that use clarifying shampoo too often find it strips too much of the hairs of natural oils.

A clarifying shampoo is basically a shampoo that strips away everything. I tend to use it once a month to remove product build up. Low poos you can use for the rest of the time. It’s gentle on the hair and scalp but it does make your hair stripped. :)

Carmen Declerck if you use hair products in styling. It can all build up

yes it is

Hey! I usually wash my hair with a “low-poo” once a week-ish (about every 4-7 days) depending on the week. Then occasionally I will “clarify” with a sulphate shampoo to get rid of any buildup x

@@hanzcurls Ahh thank you!!

Deltaz wavy is a type of curl just like coily kinky is a type of curl I always have to clarify this

S is wavy. C is curly Some just have small curls for wave pattern

She literally has ringlets. How is that not curly?

It's a loose curl sure, but it's still curly I'd say.

Dude she’s white and looks it. And her hair is curly it’s literally in ringlets... I’ve seen white people with literally kinky hair, usually they r Jewish. You need to get out more.
