My hair is also very thick and heavy, and there's a lot of it! You should definitely try to put your hair in a high ponytail with a soft elastic or a scrunchie before curling it - another tip is to give the strands a mist of hairspray too - and if you really want to help the curls holding even longer, then pin each curl with a duckbill clip and leave them in the ponytail until the hair has cooled down completely. It's way faster to curl the hair this way and the curls even last a lot longer 😉

Same!!

maybe try the curly girl method. it's supposed to bring out your natural wave/curl...even if you think you have straight hair!

I’ve given up on curling my hair with heat for so many years. Try rollers or no heat waves. I usually do foam rollers or rag curls

I feel you. A wet set is literally the only option for me to curl my hair. And unfortunately I suck at them so they are always messy. But I've literally had a stylist at a fancy salon curl my hair and it fell within two hours. Maybe your hair is a bit like mine were it isn't very receptive to any heat styling but if it dries in a specific shape it just clings to that

yea me 2! never too old for braids/bows/etc

Same girl

Unfortunately that one didn’t work for me. I’m just going to do a normal ponytail instead.

Have you tried teasing it? My hair is long and thin, I don't curl it but I do tease it and it has been a gamechanger, also try to use bobby pins instead of scrunchies or elastics to hold your bun.

Camila Ávila I have tried but thank you so much for taking the time to try to help me! 😊

Spaceydoodle that’s not true. it helps bring out the NATURAL curl pattern in your hair. some people have no curl pattern, so the curly girl method will do nothing for them.

@@qdillon18 yes, but, some people have wave when they think they don't. I guess I didn't explain myself well enough 😁

It looks like Kayley pulls her hair back loosely, which leaves room for the hair to lay naturally. Also, once your part hits the crown (where the head starts to curve down), try smoothing everything back. You can see AnnaLaura do this when she pulls it into a low pony (11:57).

Lightly brush the bumps out, it works for me :)

Amazon has those pearl pins

I get that too sometimes, basically I think of the part as only being for the first 3 inches back from my face. Anything further back I smooth and comb straight back with a brush/fingers and I find it flows nicely for me.

I think that donating hair is a wonderful gesture that can help lots of people feeling a little more confident. Just remember that hair grows back ❤

Whether you keep it nor not, just cut it :) If you keep the hair, it'll look so much better. If you let it grow without cutting, the ends can actually become so damaged that they'll just break and you'll actually lose the length. And then if you donate the hair, it won't be as good. I didn't once cut my hair for two years and my ends didn't look good. Thankfully I have thick hair.

I had so much fun cutting my hair!! I would say wait until you’re ready to let it go, THEN do the big chop so you can actually enjoy it! 🥰

I also have been growing my hair for like five years and I have donated it four weeks ago. I don't know how long your hair is now, but I have had no regrets of donating it. But that is also caused by the fact that my hair was so long, that it was starting to get really heavy and annoying sometimes. Now it is in between chin- and shoulderlengthe and I don't think I will go to long hair soon. My advise would be: If you want to donate it, just do it and if you really do not like your hair after the cut: it is hair, it will grow back.

You should do it! I had butt length hair and in October I had it chopped to Kaylees length of hair! My hair was sooo unhealthy before and it has become so much healthy and thicker. There’s just one problem with short hair is that if you want to keep it short you have to have more regular haircuts! Also donating hair is such a nice gesture and helps other people feel better about themselves! Hope this helps! 😊

Oooh, and short vs long hair is always a bonus

Dorissa Claire You might be accidentally twisting and wrapping in the same direction instead of opposite directions? If you do that they will not stay. I wouldn’t think the thinness would be a factor in whether it stays or not.

u can do it 😁 good luck 💕💕

sayura Mine is super fine and slippery too! I thought I just couldn’t use bobby pins/clips/etc because they all just eventually slip down my hair, but I found out that the bobby pins from Sally’s Beauty do (even the short mini ones I use to wrap hair around the elastic). A few trick I found was to back comb the hair I’m wrapping and spray it with texturizing spray to give it better grip. I also always pin into an elastic if possible and make sure the hair elastic goes through the bobby pin. Crossing two pins together helps too. The ones from Sally’s are great because I can cross multiple pins into each other in an updo or half up style and they keep their shape when I take them out, even if the two “arms” get shoved into the hair twisted. You can also spray the pins with hairspray or texturizing spray before you put them in for a little more grip. Still haven’t figured out how to keep other hair accessories like the pretty pins and clips from slipping and falling though 😅

Me neither! I use the method she mentioned in another video, get one of those pull through hair tools. Push it up through the elastic, wrap the hair, thread the end of the wrapped piece into the tool, use the tool to pull the end down through the elastic. I find that stays way better!

Same so i use a texture spray and only shampoo

Probably asos lol

@@Ana-lb2cq I found a similar one there but it wasn't the same one 😭 I had the same thought lmao
