I wasn't happy with the hair stylist blowing out my wavy hair straight, even when I asked her to diffuse it, and then using the curling iron and watching the style fall out when I left the shop. So I started doing it myself. I used gel & set my hair using toilet paper tubes that I cut up. Yes, LOL I need something sturdier than that, but after removal I worked my hands thru my hair & it looked so pretty! I have volume I didn't have before and after sleeping on it, the curls relax into what you call "stringy". I don't mind that now because the warm & humid weather has arrived & my thin hair looks full. Now I'm a new subscriber!

I’m black, so I have coils hair., I don’t need to scrunch mine; it will roll up on its own if I let it. I am watching this to learn about different hair types. And a difference I see is that if I can get my hair to a point of being stringy when wet gives me beautiful curls. Most of my problems were solved using Curls Curl Paste on slightly damp hair. There is no noticeable gel caste. My hair just looks great. But, I think your hair looks lovely.

I actually like your hair at the start of the video too!! Probably because that's what my good hair days look like. I prefer a bit more of a looser wave and less definition on myself; I usually run a wide tooth comb through once or twice and I get so much volume! I've found the trick to combating frizz is to use two small pumps of the Curlsmith Full Body Thickening Lotion and it really keeps that frizz at a minumum :) Also! I finally bought a chelating shampoo as we have *extremely* hard well water. Haven't tried that yet but gonna try next week when I have my next day off!

When I say please to a volume video, I don't mean the bad stuff obviously. I won't use Terry cloth towels or cheap, bad products. But perhaps different methods of styling that are also healthy for our hair. Thanks! Also, as I said in the fb pm I sent you. Thanks for the t-shirt tip! I now own sooooo many!

*Healthy Hair First* . I discovered your channel when I was on a mission to just have healthy hair. I was going through menopause (hair fall-out), hard water and crappy product repercussions. I stopped coloring my hair, upgraded my products and got a series trim. I wasn't even attempting to embrace the "waves", but I did and have never looked back. I recently took off about four inches because pictures say it all. My hair had gotten to long to hold my 2B waves and looked sparse at the ends. Collar bone length works best for me as I don't have high density and I like to be able to put my hair up in a claw clip. I have yet to find a ride or die gel so I stick with mousse. T-shirt only for plopping and minimal diffusing works best for me. I only use distilled water for re-freshing and a bit of Aussie Mousse with Leave-In. Any time I have over manipulated my hair, it's not been a great wash day. I stay in my lane. It's a good wash day for me if my hair looks like yours does in this video. Thank you Courtney, you are a gem!

Thank you for this! I did not know about the t-shirt drying. My 18 month old has curly hair inherited from her paternal grandfather. And of course, she inherited my super fine and super slow growing hair. So I've begun researching what I need to do with her hair as she finally has a couple inches of hair. Thank you again for the info, ill be checking out your other videos. Any suggestions on products to try for a little kid?
