I have been watching (ok, ok, binge watching) your videos and I am beginning to understand that the many nuanced (at times, confusing) tips from curly girls actually have a place! I was overwhelmed by all the new terms I was hearing and my solution was to just ignore what I didn't understand and stick with cgm friendly products and styling products and using a tshirt to dry. It worked for a while but lately my hair has been looking a little sad. I am SO happy I am finally figuring out things like the importance of clarifying and deep conditioning and the difference between different ingredients because of your helpful tips. I thought i was just doomed to have frizzy hair forever but you have inspired hope in me again! Thank you, lovely Courtney!

I washed with the Jessicurl cream, then Aloeba conditioner that I left in, then Kinky Curly Custard. Then let it air dry for hours (because I always get frizz if I diffuse) and I just now scrunched out the crunch....my hair looks the VERY BEST YET!!! I'm so, so excited!!! The big thing I did differently was to use a comb to make sure my hair strands were all together and coated with product. I always had hairs (lots of them) that didn't want to go into a curl clump. I scrunched in the custard and then combed with my head upside down and then scrunched, flipped my head over and shook and then let it dry. THANKS!!!

I went product free that wash day so next wash day I will get to see if it is less frizzy when I style it. This was my first time ever deep conditioning!

It won't burn because of the Anbesol and the glue will seal the cut for a few days till it heals on its own. Old hairdresser and mechanic trick! 💙

I get a lot of wet frizz when there is product build up on my hair and my hair is dehydrated. If it were me I would clarify, deep condition with the Jessicurl deep treatment. I would really really brush the Jessicurl through my hair, add a bit of warm water to my hair and take 5ish min really squishing and pulsing in the mask. Then leave in on for 30-45 min. Rinse out completely, add a small amount of protein free leave in (1-2 peas). And brush that through my hair with the wet brush again. Add a little water and squish and pulse that in gently. Making sure there is adequate water in my hair when I apply stylers is critical.

I absolutely love your videos! My teenage daughters hair is soo similar to yours. Seeing your before and after photos has encouraged her to give her hair some love. I would love some suggestions if you or anyone else have any for my hair. I don't know what type of curl pattern I have as far as the number and letter, lol, but I have 1/2" to 1" ringlets. Fine low density. I have only been doing the curly girl method about 5 months, but my hair wasn't necessarily damaged before beginning it. I didn't straighten and babied it to be honest. I was using a silicone condition, but have stopped that. So, my current issue it frizz inside of the curl clumps. Sounds odd, I know. But that's the case. It looks great when I am done diffusing then gets frizzier as the day progresses. I still have definition, but since the frizz is inside of the clump my hair appears flatter. Yet somehow I'm still told by strangers that they love my hair, lol! Sorry for the long comment, but can anyone help? I've used clarifiers, played with protein and moisture balance, etc. Maybe I need new stylers?

I've been doing the curly girl method now for only 6-8weeks and I'm really struggling to tell what my hair needs. I'm thinking about one time doing everything to get protein overload and then a moisture overload to get to know how each of these feels like. Right now, I only know, that my hair is not balanced, but I can't tell if it's too much moisture or protein. Do you guys think that this is a bad idea (I'm afraid that this will really damage my hair) or do you think it is worth trying, because then I know what to do when my hair feels a certain way and what it needs. (Of course, when I notice that my hair has a overload, then I'll do a treatment to fix this. It's just to get to know my hair better) I hope that it's somehow clear what I mean. English is not my nativ language.

Nanami Natsuki ooooo I understand why you want to try pushing your hair into protein over load and moisture overload. And it is your hair, you are welcome to do to it whatever you want.

@manaky87424 жыл бұрын
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney I did some more research. I think my hair lacks both protein and moisture. So I think, I will concentrate for now on the moisture part (some of my products have protein in it for example my curl enhancer, so I don't totaly skip on the protein) and when I notice that I have to much moisture, I can add a protein treatment and know then, that I have to use more protein or more often in my routine. I think that you are right and I shouldn't damage my hair on purpose. (But sometimes it is so frustrating that this idea seems to be the easiest thing to do) Right now I try to do moisture and protein equally but this is quite hard, when you don't know what your hair needs.

@@marisadaniela6 I have a one of those hair turbine things that make wrapping your hair up super easy. It's a jersey/t-shirt material. I plop in that for 20 minutes, shake it out and add spray gel. Then I "clip" the roots with Bobby pins for about 10 -15 minutes just to help add volume. After my hair is mostly dry, I flip and scrunch off the cast.

My hair is medium to thick and super dense plus like to the length of my hip... I've had like one good hair day that was ruined because I had a migraine at work so I had to pull my hair back... How do you come back from a pulled back hairstyle without a wash, and also do you know any curl friends I may be able to get advice more specific to my hair? It's also around your same curl pattern size if that makes sense too

Sara Schriner you should check out @coffeecurlygirl on Instagram. And I just pull my hair back with an invisobobble. It doesn’t pull my hair too tight.

My curls fall quickly and look *exactly* like in your over moisturize picture, but my hair is also pretty dry (I swim twice a week and have naturally dry hair). I do deep condition weekly, and takes forever to dry, but my hair doesn't feel like you describe. Do you know what's up? Please help!
@SwavyCurlyCourtney4 жыл бұрын
So if your hair goes even further into over moisturized territory it can actually feel dry vs wet. It can actually begin to feel brittle too which is not good. When it gets that bad damage and breakage are probably happening.

If you swim in a chlorine pool you may want to try a swimmer's shampoo and/or conditioner. Also wetting your hair with tap water is supposed to help prevent the pool chemicals from getting into your hair.
@elizabethtyre93814 жыл бұрын
So it could possibly be over moisturized when it seems too dry and brittle??? And not need moisture but need protein ... I wonder what’s a tell tell sign between that kind of moisture issue or drying issue how to differentiate

You talk about the cooler temperatures making a difference in your hair. Aren't you in Texas? Does it even get cool there? I'm in Minnesota and I think the high temp today is 37. Do you have a video on how to keep warm in winter without smashing our curls? When I wear a hat I get frizz and squished curls.

Haha yes it gets cooler here (maybe not COLD, but we go from 100+ degrees down into the 50s in the fall and down into the 30s in the winter) I really like using a satin lined beanie. Helps a lot! And using a cream under my gels helps too.

Hi! I use a devacurl product, which has glycerin as the second ingredient. I don't get a lot of frizz (a little bit but it's very manageable), would that be because the gel afterwards kind of locks in the moisture? Do you check the differences just by trying out the products? I don't enjoy other humectants as propylene glycol but it could be that i tried it in lower quality products. Thank you

So if you just started the CGM it is highly likely that your hair will be moisture starved for a while. Jessicurl products (shampoos, conditioners, stylers, masks) were very very helpful to me during the transition phase.

Is using glycerin in certain dew point levels related to hair porosity?
@SwavyCurlyCourtney4 жыл бұрын
marisadaniela6 no
@marisadaniela64 жыл бұрын
@@SwavyCurlyCourtneyThanks for your response! So I only need to know what the dew point is to know if it is a good day for glycerin products then? Someone in a video (which I now can't find😫) said glycerin either pulls moisture from the air into your hair, or out of your hair into the atmosphere, depending on the dewpoint, but it was worse for higher porosity hair (I think? I forget now.) Since I'm still figuring out my hair porisity i was worried about using glycerin, but now I'm gonna give it a go. Thank you!
