FINALLY someone with my hair type! I feel like 2c-3a hair is not represented enough in the curly hair community, since it's in the critical line between waves and curls. Your videos are on point and I am definitely going to use your tips to see if I can get that balance of volume and definition, without weighting down my hair (which is a huge problem for me). Thank you for your videos and keep up the good work!

Finally a channel for 2c/3a haired girls! Most KZfaq content is focused on 3b-4c hair and always made me question if hair was curly enough or pretty enough during the beginning of my curly hair journey. So I'm glad to see some representation for our curl texture!

Finally!! Someone with a 2c/3a curls is making videos...people are telling me that I have a straight hair and in my culture thats a beauty sign! But I always notice some waves in my hair and many times I get curls! But since my hair is smooth and not so dry or afro, people seem to think it's straight and they kinda made me believe that too! They think that no one with a smooth sleek hair can have curls...duh You curls are like mine...but your hair is way too thicker and longer it's really beautiful 😍

I’m absolutely ecstatic that I’ve found your channel. I can’t believe we share the exact same hair type! Nobody in my family has anything near to curly hair so it’s been a loooonggg journey trying to find what works for me. This helps me feel a lot less alone. I would love to ask you a few things, but of course I don’t want to overload you with my questions 😅 New subbie without a doubt 🙌💜

The most annoying thing about my curly hair is that I have to wet it completely for a refresh. I’ve never had a damp refresh turn out nicely. Glad I found your channel. I’ve watched a couple videos and just subscribed!

I've got 2c on the upper part and 3a underneath, I get cute little curls 😍 your channel is my new fave, can't wait for more videos💗

I LOVE how detailed you are when you explain things because it makes it so easy to understand ! I’ve been looking for someone on KZfaq with my same hair type for a hot minute and I finally found you girl !! I’ve never met anyone who’s bottom half of their hair is more wavy and even straight like me and lowkey felt bad cause I thought I just had bad hair. Thank you so much for this mija I’m so grateful 💛

We have exactly the same hair!!! Even the weird straight strand 😂

I can totally relate to the different hair textures/patterns that you found in your hair. I be having those straight pieces too that sometimes refuse to curl up. Thank you for sharing your refresh technique. Super helpful!👍🥰

Your curls are beautiful! I have similar curl type and I’d love to grow my hair out as long as yours

I am just starting out on my curly hair journey and I am looking forward to my hair getting to the point where it looks like yours....I am still in the very early stages of transitioning so I am just trying to figure to what works for my hair....thank you for these tips

Our hair is so similar! Same pattern, texture, and colour! I only started letting mine do it's wavy/curly thing over the last 2 weeks so these videos are so helpful 🥰

Makes me feel so much better about my curl pattern seeing yours have almost straight bits on day 3! After wash day some of my curls just go haywire and makes it look like I don’t have curly hair. Love seeing how yours looks wet/finger coiled too cause proves to me I’m doing the technique right for my pattern! I just don’t have as much curl on the roots as you unfortunately

Just like everyone else is saying, FINALLY someone I can relate to, giving usable advice!

Hair twin! 🤍 I’m so glad I came across your videos. I know a lot about my hair honestly but I love seeing others’ routines just so I can learn better! & you’re so so beautiful. Tip: Use a satin cloth or use a little bit of oil on your hands before you scrunch the crunch. Otherwise you are most likely to create more frizz.

now this, THIS is 2c/3a hair. I have seen a bunch of tutorials and routines with people with 2b hair claiming it’s 2c/3a.. 🤣😂

Marissa, hi! I'm kind of an addict of curly hair videos, so I am happily surprised that I've learned some new stuff from you (I watched your frizz/definition video too). And it wasn't all that complicated! Thank you so much! My curl pattern is very similar to yours too, so I am feeling hopeful that I might be able to achieve better results than I've been getting. Yay!

I love your videos!! I have 2c/3a hair too, & I like how you get straight to the point! Also, I love how you don't use an insane amount of products, which makes it so doable to have beautiful hair like yours. Keep it up!

your hair is so much like mine, even the detailed break down! i also have straight, wave and curly pieces and even some coiler pieces too! its a whole selection of curls on this crown lol. love this channel, what a gem

Love watching you videos how detailed they are and that's great we get to see step by step and I've really learned alot from watching them

THEM CURLS THOOOOO

Love this! I’ll try it to refresh my curls!! Thanks for Sharing

I have those straight/wavy pieces underneath too so it's nice to see how you deal with them! They have always perplexed hair stylists hahaha thanks for a great video :)

We have the exact same hair type!! Thank god I found your channel! ❤️

We have the exact same hair type omg!! Never thought I’d see the day 😍😂❤️

I am so glad I found you channel we have exactly the same curl pattern. Thank you for showing us your curly routine. I wanna ask you two things: 1st how do you got your hair so long, they are literally goals. And 2nd hove you ever tried Cantu curling cream? Here in Greece we don't have many curl brands only 1 or 2 and pretty expensive so I ordered online the Salon size curling cream. It was 15% off and it was a great deal! Thank you ❤️

This video helped me a lot! Thank u! Also I love the fact that u only used one product and not like thousands like other's making it impossible to afford.

Girl you are my hair twin! Even down to the 2C wavy/ don't know what they want to be pieces on the bottom 😆. Love your videos so far, and can't wait to see where you take this channel.

Fnallyyyy someone with the exact same hair as meeee 🥰🥰🥰 this is so helpful thank youuuu

Your hair is so gorgeous!

I love how clear and detailed your tutorial was ! What is your hair porosity and thickness ?

Oh my goodness!! I have similar curls to you and I also have a weird straight piece near my neck, that’s awesome hahaha I never thought I’d see that on anyone else

I'm really enjoying my Canon M50! Love your videos and your IG!

omg this is the first person ive seen on here with hair just like mine!!!!!! i have those weird straight sections too lol its so refreshing knowing im not the only one

you are so so pretty oh my goodness! we have very similar hair but mine is a bit finer and has little to zero volume especially on wash day. do you have any tips for volume? i’ve seen multiple videos that say add mousse to your roots and that doesn’t work very well for me. but anyway much love ❤️ so happy i found your channel!

Its so nice to see someone with my exact hair type- 2c 3a. Its so frustrating having so many different textures :( im also noticing my hair in most spots only curl at the bottom lol. MAKE UP YOUR MIND HAIR. Also, any tips on frizzy roots?

omg we have the EXACT same hair! with the weighed down parts and all 😁 loved the video!

I always use a different product to refresh never thought about using the same one 🤯.

wish i could have my hair last DAYS! but my hair ain't as thick as yours lol it's gotten 'thinner' over time (like the amount of hair as my strands are like medium to thick), so it ain't as dense as it used to be which sucks! but glad i found someone with same hair type as me! i'm like 2C on the top layer of my hair, and 3A at the bottom haha

@MarissaLanae I really like your hair! I have 2C curly hair and a couple strands that are 3A (depends on what my hair looks like when I wake up lol). Tbh my hair is kind of hard to identify cuz its different everyday. I have short, shoulder length hair and I feel like it's kind of stretching out because its really thick. I want my hair to be more coily and more 3A type like yours. Also, when I wash my hair, it turns like yours, but the rest of the days it just turns kind of straightish or wavyish (especially at the bottom back, like yours). But ill try to try this way to refresh my hair if I buy the product u recommended. Do you have any advice on how to make my hair kind of 3A like yours, but without it being too big cuz I also have that problem too (my hair gets rlly big at the sides and bottom too. Sorry that was a lot😂. Thanks a lot though! Loved the video btw! If you have any advice it would be rlly appreciated! If not, then thanks either way :)

I really love your channel! You keep it informative, you try to be as transparent as you can to tell help us curly heads find new methods, products for our hair! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Your channel so appreciated so, thank you for not being like every other curly headed girl and just advertise and sponsor brands. Btw .. please do a video over Carols Daughter Coco Creme shampoo & conditioner and Coco Creme Coil Enhancing Moisture Butter ( all orange bottle) This brand gave my curls life and I want to share this with you and see what you think of it!🧡 Continue being great 🧡🧡🧡

Can you pls post a video of how you are taking care of you'r hair for a whole week?

I absolutely LOVE your curls! I'm getting my hair permed soon and i was wondering what shampoo and conditioner you use!

Pls make a video on how you coloured your hair ❤️

I have the same hair type, and your videos have been helping me a lot. I was wondering if you could do a video on your night time routine, like what you do with your hair when you're going to bed, I think its what I struggle with the most because on d ay 2 I wake up looking crazy !

Can you do a detailed video on how you use the denman, especially what your hair looks like with and without using it (what difference the denman brush makes)?

So glad I found you ! I think o have the same curls but I’m still learning. How do I prevent frizz when I break cast?

I'm so glad I found you! I only _just_ started to transition, so I wasn't completely sure I had curly hair. I struggled with dry, frizzy, brittle hair for YEARS!! But, on my best hair days, relatively speaking, I knew I had wavy hair. But, after seeing my hair change as I just started the transition period, I'm seeing it's likely I have more 2c/3a hair. I do have a question though, do you happen to know if you have low, medium, or high porosity hair? Just curious. By the way, I don't know if you're still in the market for a hair dryer, but, I do recommend T3 dryers. They are on the pricier side, but it's someplace to look in case it's something you wanted to invest in. Just my humble opinion. But, if you find that Revlon works for you, go for it.

What do you do at night to keep your curls nice?

Soooo excited I found someone with my hair type ♥️♥️♥️ I love your shirt also, where is it from?

A misting water bottle is life changing

when is the detangling part of this routine? I really needed to watch this video thank you

OMGG ur 3rd day is better than my day 1 hair💜💜💜

Would you make a video on different curly hairstyles? ☺️ I love your channel!

heyyy

Where did you buy your demi brush?

Very nice video! Helped me a lot😊 Which Denmen Brush are you using? I want to buy one but there are different ones

Gorgeous 3 day hair! What style do you put in in to to sleep, or like what is your night routine?

your tips are so good thank u SM! also do u sleep in like a silk bonnet or anything to keep the curls overnight?

Where did you get your water bottle?

I have that random bit of straight hair at the back too it's so annoying when trying to blend with the rest lol

Anything for itchy scalp?

I have 2a/2b curls ontop but the bottom half of my hair is like a 2c it is very curly but my hair is very damaged so that's probably why the top half is 2a 2b because that's the part that I would straighten the most and now I'm staying true to my curls. I have low porosity hair it takes so long to dry and I feel if I usr certain styling products my hair will feel dry brittle and straw like and unpleasing to touch so I am trying to figure out the problem

Should I do this everyday? I'm new to taking care of my curls/waves so any help is welcome!

Alright I have the same exact hair, the problem with the underneath and everything, I’ve been struggling with how to do my curls for literally my whole life bc no one else in my family has curly hair. If anyone has any product tips pls give me advice 😩 I’ve used deva curl since I was in high school but everyone is saying not to use it so I need to switch but I can’t really find good products to use

Thank you! Can you make a video for how you get your baby hairs under control? with these types of curls, mine usually end up sticking sideways off my head by the time I wake up 😂

I needed this video so much thank you ! I’m currently transitioning and even though I only wash my hair with shampoo once a week I feel like I still need to wash them with conditioner during the week to refresh them because it’s sooo dry. Is it okay to do that ?

Can you plz link what Tripod you are using in this video?????????????????

Canon Mark g7 II is the vlogging camera that almost all vlogging you tubers use. I just recieved the same camera for my birthday may 5th but the G7III VERSION But its more expensive and def not needed. The g7II is def enough. Hope that helps. The stabilization on the camera is top notch.

Refreshing is by far THE HARDEST part of my transition. I seriously can’t get more than one good hair day out of my wash days 😭 I’m definitely going to try some of these tips, fingers crossed 🤞🏼 Oh also, have you ever experienced stringyness from the Aussie Instant freeze gel? I’ve only used it twice but my hair gets pretty stringy from it. Maybe I’m using the wrong amount? Thoughts?

🖤🖤 nice, this is similar to Gena Marie’s Refresh

Hey love! So regarding your camera situation, the canon g7x Mark ii is a really good quality camera. I’m purchasing myself one very soon. There’s a lot of amazing bundles on the Walmart website and amazon as well! They have amazing deals on bundles instead of just buying the camera itself (the camera costs a lot itself) and these bundles are literally the same price that the camera would be on its own! Hope this helps :).

Pls help 😭😭Whenever I wash my hair my healthy curls look like yours , but as the days pass (even just on the 2nd day) my curls kind of stretch out and some become more wavy than curly. I use the cantu activator (not much) and afterwards I put flaxseed gel and diffuse... I try to use apple cider vinegar for built up removal.. But I don’t know what to do . Do you have any ideas what might be wrong with my hair

Can you please tell us how do you give your hair such pretty hair color? :O Looks so great!

My hair is EXACTLY like yours, except I am older and my hair is not as thick anymore. I have a LOT more frizz. Thanks for sharing your routine to help those of us that need the help, lol.

One thing that I do to help with the creases is to not use a rubber band hair tie. I use the ones that are fabricky (is that a word?) and I don't get that crease. It really helps.

Can you do a video talking about what kind of haircut do you get and do you cut split ends?.

hey! What's your hair color?

I love youu and you are so beautiful ☺️❤️

Do you have more 3A than 2C or has your hair become more 3A as youve gone curly full time

You should try the dippity do girls with curls gelee it's at HEB or online🤙🏽

New Subbie! Love your channel - so easy to understand! Btw... with your curly hair open, you remind me of Mariah Carey with curly hair! Keep up these videos :)

Amazon has a continuous spray mist bottle for $8!!😁

I am just starting out! What kind of denman brush are you using specifically?

I used to have really curly hair but after dying my hair multiple times it got really damaged...now i have the exact same curls like yours lol

🖤

Prettyyy

Stunning girl💌⭐⭐🌠

How do you cut your hair?

I have the same hair like you.. but I have straight strands under my hair😣 why??? How can I make them curly?? Maybe they are to heavy or damaged? Please help🙏🏾💔

Oh my god. Actual 2c/3a hair?? Thank you 😭

what's the gel you used? Thanks!

tips for dry, birttle curls? I feel like no matter what I do my hair holds no moisture!

How many times a week do you wash your hair?

Hi, Marissa! Thank you for sharing your refreshing routine! About the camera, I just want to help - check out the channel of Dana Dey, and specially the video called "Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid Hydrating Medium Coverage Foundation Review + Demo" - almost at the end of the clip, like at 7:10" minute of it, she mention her camera type and model. By what I see, I can tell her camera is good. I'm not native, so my English is not the best and I can't hear for sure what she said exactly hahah but I believe, that you will decipher it, so I hope that this will help for choosing a camera in case you still didn't buy one :) I like the fact that you are yourself in front of the camera, you have so natural behaviour and you are down to the earth person - keep it that way! :) Stay beautiful and curly!

How do you sleep on your hair? Just started my curly hair journey and I feel like I have to redo my hair everyday because the curls look wild after sleeping and my hair feels super dry and stiff.

I think that you can get a Canon M50 or a Sony ZV-1 for a camera ☺☺

Hi what app do you use to edit your video? Your editing is good 😍

Canon M50!!!! Best vlogging camera! I’ve done all my videos w/ it if you want to check the quality. Super easy to learn how to use. Definitely check it out! Also loved this, I have 2c/3a hair too so this was very useful 🥰

I love your cut!! Did u do it yourself?? I can’t find a good hairstylist ://// I hope u did it yourself so I can do the same 😊
