I’ve never seen curly hair like yours on anyone else. It looks and behaves like silky smooth straight hair, except it’s not straight. I think that’s why I can’t imagine my curly hair ever looking like yours... seems to me you’re pretty much unique.

I liked and subscribed - you are one of the most, if not THE most informative and educational wavy hair resources. Thanks for all you do

At the end of the video: “bye bye!” My 3 year old: “buh bye Court-me!” 😂❤️

OMG. I have a curl clump that looks like one of yours. Now if I can just get the rest of my hair to do the same!!

My To Do list this weekend: Clairify, OlaPlex, Protein Mask, Moisture Mask, Lock up all my products with Glycerin for the winter.

My hair is SO similar to yours in every way...curl pattern, density, porosity, and texture...maybe that’s why but your videos are more helpful to than any other I’ve found. My hair didn’t use to be curly but became more and more so after having kids so it’s be a whole new learning curve for me. Thanks for your content; it is most helpful!

Omg this video was so well timed!!! I just started the CG method and my hair was sooooo frizzy! It turns out it was over moisturized...who knew there was such a thing? I used the Suave clarifying shampoo and a protein mask and my hair looks much much better. Thanks so much!!!

basically: 1. breakage 2. glycerin - doesnt work well in winter and causes frizz 3. caused by build up - clarify and deep condition! 4. over moisturised hair is frizzy (cuticle swells and stands up with too much moisture) feels wet when its not meant to be when its over moisturised - use sulfate shampoo and repair me treatment 5. too much protein - use sulfate shampoo and deep condition with protein free treatment

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!

You might try wearing a tight fitting latex glove on your cut hand when you are washing your hair. Might help keep the cut free from hairs and product getting in the wound. Hope it heals soon xx

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!!!

Courtney, I have watched all your KZfaq videos. You are the must bubbly person I have eve seen and this is a compliment ,Believe it. I enjoy watching you just for your happy self . I have seen your RA video and am amazed that you even smiled through some of that. So this is not a question about the curly girl method . It is basically a thank you for putting a smile on my face and many other faces . If we were neighbors I am sure we would be close friends . Keep it up...

Your hair is so pretty I’m so jealous

Ugh. Having the hardest time with this balance. Thanks for the recommendations for good deep conditioners!

Haha. I’m giggling at the finger cuz last week I had a broken nail and every hair on my head got stuck in it while I was washing my hair.

Why am I watching this ? , I have straight hair 😂😂

Thank you for this Informationen! I did not know that deepcleansing is allowed so often!! But i note a very good result after every deepcleansing. Sorry for my Bad English🙈 im german

i was slicing radishes on a pampered chef veggie slicer. on the very last one, the very last swipe, i zigged when i zagged and i didn't just slice into my finger, i sliced into and under the nail bed. talk about painful!!! and that puppy bled! my husband kindly helped me bandage it so that I could go back to cooking (rather than taking over, lol). it took so long to heal up. that was in june, and even now, it can be a bit tender when touched wrong. i'm enjoying your videos as at 50, i'm trying to figure out my new curls that came into existence in my 40s after a lifetime of board straight hair.

My hair is way over moisturized by the way you described it. Thank you for this video!!!!!!

This video was timely. I can deal with having more wavy days than curly during transition. In fact I quite like the loose wave look. But the frizz! Ugh. My whole top layer of hair is a poofy frizz ball that doesn't curl well. The good news is I deep conditioned with the inahsi mango hemp the other day and it seemed to help. 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! I have always had an oily scalp but I am getting less oily with age (skin and hair). I really love your videos Courtney! I think I binge watched them all over the last week!

The way you say *gasp* is one of my favorite things. It makes me giggle every time 😂👏🏻♥️

I think I might be watching this video for like the third time but it was MUCH needed!🙈 PS I just love the energy of your entire channel!! ❤️

My hair is always frizzy no matter what I do.

Hey Now Courtney! Loving your vids! Old school fix for the cut on your finger: apply a dab of Anbesol to the cut and give it a few minutes to dry and it will numb it for a short bit. (Good for tweezing sensitive brows as well!) Then apply just a dab of Crazy Glue or nail glue and let it dry. 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! 💙

Totaly love your vids. Startet the cgm only 2 days before. Now i am absorbing your videos. Thx a lot for your work Greetings form germany

Doing my first week with the curly girl method!!! Wish I had the patients to do a big chop but im finally at a length I can function at! Hoping a protein treatment will revive this hair .... never thought my hair was curly! You and I have very similar hair in color and type .... but it's all so fried from damage.... February my hair was black and I wanted to go natural. Once I stopped dying it little curly pieces came out !!! I love your videos hoping my hair will get much curlier once the damage is gone! Your my favorite ❤❤❤

I have all kinds of frizz, this video made me realize that waaaaay less product is more. Apparently I had massive build up on it. After one wash my hair is shiny out of the blue. I'll start the CGM journey again

Girl what have you been reaching for lately? Your current routine? Your curls have been popping! My hair has been super consistent until about the past 3 weeks I've had some of this stringy frizz and limp curls...I'm assuming our weather changes, this is my first fall on this journey, going to try some of these tips!

Omg!!! I just switched products and have never had wet frizz before until watching your flash drying and this video and checked my new gel has glycerine as the second ingredient! I have used this product before in the summer and I’m wondering if the winter weather where I live is just not a great combo. I will have to find something different to give it a try. Thanks for the info!!!

The frizz is unbelievable on day 2 😭 I really struggle with frizz and no volume

Are you a hairstylist? I just have to say, after watching a ton of your videos as a hairstylist myself, you are very knowledgeable about hair. I’m really impressed! Thanks for your videos!

This helps so much. The stores available to me are Walmart & Target and I stand there so confused🤪! I'm going to clarify and start fresh. I was doing great, then BAM- frizz😭! I have 2c, high porosity, course hair that had been clumping and shiny and awesome..now I have a Halo of frizz out of nowhere. Ugh

I live in Minnesota, it is cold and the dew points are so low, some days in the negatives! So frizz is a daily issue and I've given up trying to tame it! I can over moisturize and it is still dry, frizzy, and full of static. Lol so I'm learning to just go with it.

My favorite clarifying shampoo contains Olefin Sulfonate! And some people on a CG Facebook pace were arguing that it's not CG well I still use it every now and then when I need deeper cleansing. I have most of my Frizz on top of my head which is probably because I had some hair loss about 6-9 months ago and my hair is growing back and it's got that length now where it doesn't want to go into a curl clump unless I put gel on my roots but then my roots look flat and a bit greasy so I decided to accept it :O

Brand new to your channel! Love your videos, extremely informative! I’ve been binge watching your videos cuz they are sooo good🤩

You have beautiful curls! I am still working on my wavy hair... Probably 3 steps forward and 2 steps back because I need to pull my hair back for work (physical therapist)... 😭😭😭

Your hair looks amazing! That volume too!

Ouch! I feel your pain. last year I had a similar injury but I actually cut some of my fingertips off, about a half inch circle on the pad of 2 fingers. These are a biatch to heal, please give yourself the time to heal. Mine took about 3 months. Sorry if that's gross. Oh, and btw, Giovanni has changed their Smooth as Silk formulation, both the shampoo and the conditioner now contain glycerin and the shampoo has a silicone. Not sure if this is only the European market, but better check the labels before you repurchase. Bear hugs! 🤗🤗🤗

My hair looks fantastic because of your Tipps! You are so professionell thank you for all that ♡♡♡

I just tried sleeping with coconut oil on my hair. After I washed it out my hair looked good wet but as it started to dry it started frizzling up again… sigh

Extremely helpful channel! Courtney, thank you a lot from me and my waves 🤩

Use the vibration scalp brush instead of ur fingers!!! I love that thing!!! Thanks 4 the video!!!

Sorry if I am missing this! Could you make a video if you don’t already have one about how to not end up with “crunchy” curly girl hair? Thank youuuu!

I like your shirt 🙌 also thanks for the video, really battling frizz rn haha

I love it when you *gasp* hahaha

A lesser talked about type of frizz is wet frizz. I Always get wet frizz no matter how much I STC in the shower, in fact the more I STC the more wet frizz I get and thus resulting in poorly formed clumps. Do you have any idea what causes wet frizz and how to reduce it?

Thanks Courtney. I’ve tried everything. I always get frizz. I don’t like the feel of gel on my hair. I braid it now. And it works for me

You've got great volume today!! 😍

So helpful, thankyou. Its such a minefield of information. I need to cleanse my hair and start over I think. Xxx

I know you did a video featuring really affordable products (the suave co-wash and la looks gel) but I know you weren’t particularly happy with those products (at least not enough to use them regularly yourself.) I would love to see a video featuring really affordable products that are also decent to good quality. Is such a thing even possible?

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?

Hi Courtney! Do you have any updates to this "older" video as far as products that replace the Inahsi? Thanks! I appreciate you!! :)

Thanks I needed this!

any summary or time stamps?? I can t watch all this...

How do you know how much product to put in your hair? How do know if its too much or too little

My water is extremely hard. It builds up on my hair after only two weeks. It's really bad.

You look sooooo beautiful, Courtney! Thank you for educating us on the frizz 😁 Also, your hair seems darker in this video?

So, because of the finicky nature of glycerin products, I've always wondered if there worth the trouble, or if you can just get by without them, OR if they are something your hair actually needs. Thoughts?

Your hair looks great in this video, so no need to wash! Where did you get that cardigan? I’m on the hunt for the perfect one.

Would you still suggest those Inhasi products for a clarifying wash? You didn't mention that shampoo in your newest video.

I love love LOVE your videos. You’ve inspired me to embrace my curls. I’ve been binge watching your videos. That being said, I’m a newbie and my hair is THIRSTY. What do you recommend in the beginning for hydration. I’ve gone and bought a few of your recommendations such as the Giovanni shampoo/conditioner, curls blueberry bliss, and All about curls bouncy cream. I just need more hydration. Thank you and God bless.

I have a very similar hair type to you and I'm struggling with getting my hair balanced😪

Do you a teaspoon total of product if you use more than one product or is it a teaspoon of each product? For example a teaspoon of curl enhancer and teaspoon of strong hold gel or teaspoon of both together? Thank you, this was a very helpful video.

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.

If my hair is "straight" not sure yet. And t It always looks like chopped no matter what. What is that? Is it considered frizz? I never use heat or anything that can damage my hair

I am allergic to lavender, rosemary and clove, dang it

My frizz problem is due to the new hair growth.They are just growing direction sun. Any suggestions for that? I have tried wax, spray, EVERYTHING

Apple Vida vinegar is my best friend

how could I stop my roots from getting too curly and unmanageable?

So I’ve a 2a/2b wavy hair and I just started taking care of it and it’s forming very pretty curls at the end even without any styling products but my hair is dull and not shiny at all got some frizz but not much and it’s not that dry to the touch I’m treating it from hair loss as per the doctor prescription and have genetic dandruff also treating that so any tips on the hair dullness ?

Hallelujah to you too!!!

I tried a few new products today and my hair is awful! Like normal I used HE herbal essence honey and vitamin b shampoo, then STC with tresemme botanique conditioner. the NEW part was then using DevaCurl BeLeave-in followed by DevaCurl styling cream. I have SO much frizz! Maybe I'm glycerin sensitive? But with the dew point today I didn't think that would be an issue - It's 32F here. Maybe I misunderstood your glycerin video?

Third comment here! We are getting earllly. Love you

Have you ever tried the hask argon deep conditioner? Was curious if it is a good one? Love your videos!

So what do I say when people tell me my hair looks bad even though I spent alot of time trying to minimize the frizz?

No one talks about frizzy hair in a cold desert. ONLY HUMIDITY. So annoying. Help us desert people out

Geat video! Now I need a tutorial on how you made the Xtava magnetic! Where did you get the little round magnets?

Can you tell me more about how the Suave clarifying shampoo helps with hard water? Thank you!

I tried finding your glycerin and dew point video but i didnt see it :( can you link it for me? I have no idea how dew points and glycerin come into play lol. Thanks so much for your videos! They have helped me so much on my journey!💗

Can i use apple cider vinegar to clarify since i cant find those products where i live

Any tips for how to prevent or fix the frizz that comes from rubbing against coats and scarves? Winter is killing my hair.

Video idea: what are your holy grails that have changed your hair? Example: plopping. Plopping my hair totally changes my outcome.

2:38 I feel attacked

Hi Courtney! Do you have any other deep conditioner recommendations? Because I tried to look for the mango hemp one and it’s all sold out so pls let me know! P.s asking this because I want to start the cgm!

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

Also, have you tried the Inahsi Coconut Avocado Curl Defining Gel?

is a keratin treatment not good for wavy hair? will it make my hair straight?

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!

Help!!! I have fine, 2a-2b wavy hair. I just started my cgm journey recently.... 2nd day hair... is dry and frizzy and full of tangles. I don’t know what to do with it other than put it in a ponytail 😐. What are some good tips for

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.

I cant find the Curl junkie protein treatment anywhere. It is no longer available on Amazon. Where do I find it?

Sounds weird, but when I have cracks on my fingers, I use super glue. It works wonders!

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

Do you pineapple to sleep and use a silk pillowcase?

My hair is like Velcro and very brittle on the bottom and a few other areas. The other sections of my hair will stretch about 3 inches and not snap back. I have no Idea how this happened and have just started the Curly Girl method 2 weeks ago. What would you suggest to fix that?

Is using glycerin in certain dew point levels related to hair porosity?

I have a question. My hair hates protein. I just used the jessicurl deep conditioner and my hair has reacted like it has protein overload. Can anyone tell me why?

Is the Suave Clarifying better or the same as Kinky Curly Come Clean shampoo? I’ve been using come clean when I clarify every month, I use Jessicurl deep conditioner, and I still have frizz. I use bounce curl shampoo and conditioner for regular washes

Just starting the CG method!! My hair has been very frizzy so I'm excited to take your recommendations on my next wash! Does anyone have any recommendations for extremely tangled hair?? I tried finger detangling while my conditioner and/or deep conditioning mask was in, but my hair get tangled within minutes of getting out of the shower. And by the following day my entire head is a giant knot. Is there anything obvious I am missing??

when you say clarify, do you mean you used the shampoo? Cuz i just thought you werent suposed to use shampoo wen you do the cg method. but i havent started it yet but want to.
