i have 3a hair and my routine is very similar to this and it works perfectly for me. goes to show that paying attention to your porosity, density, and protein moisture balance is way more important than the curl type.

damn this is SUCH a good result. me and my inconsistent clumps are jell!

My hair is exactly like yours, at least in curl size and shape. I really have to finger coil or twist using a brush in order to get a proper curl, but most days I just scrunch and let the loose waves do what they want to do. I'm usually happy with the results, mainly because I've learned not to covet the very defined spirals others have.

Hey, Tabitha, your hair looks great. I was experiencing lots of trouble getting my waves and curls to clump up, and I no longer struggle as much and just wanted to share what dramatically helped me. First of all, the Shea moisture yogurt mask is a very intense protein mask (it sent my hair into protein overload after only using it 2 times, 1 month apart), which can cause your hair to be dry. Hair that isn’t hydrated fully is the main culprit behind having trouble forming clumps, that’s why our hair clumps better when it’s wet (hydration comes from water). I stopped using that mask and bought one without any protein whatsoever and swapped out my gels and mousses (which tend to be drying) for custards, or at least gels containing oils and other hydrating ingredients. I saw a drastic difference not too long after making these changes. Now my hair is much more hydrated and it wants to clump up when it’s wet and I also don’t struggle with it tangling when moving my head around when wet. Just wanted to suggest that you consider swapping out the mask for a few wash days and see if it helps. Thanks for your videos!

Your hair is seriously so pretty! This is a very helpful video! Thank you!

This is exactly the routine that I do. Tip for the back: when you are brushing your hair turn your head to the side, separate the back hair and brush it through while you are turned to the side. Then do exactly the same on the other side. When scrunching your hair also scrunch from the sides. But besides that I do all exactly the same for curl like waves.

I’ve been following you for a while, but always had longer hair, now I’ve cut my hair short(ish) for the first time since starting wearing them wavy, and I’ve been struggling to figure out how to shape them, I’m surprised how differently they behave even after cutting just 15cm! So this video is very helpful!

Great tutorial!!! My hair is EXACTLY like yours. That SheaMoisture yogurt mask is my faaaaaaavorite.

Love it, I have the same hair look as you. It's nice to see someone with the same

OMG! I’ve never seen somebody with a wavy hair so similar to mine 😍 I’m so happy that I’ve found your channel 🥰 just subscribed!

This is something that Tabitha briefly mentioned in the video, but I have real trouble taming my hair after washing upside down. It all wants to stay on top of my head in one giant clump and gets all tangled and messed up in the process of parting my hair and turning it the right way up again. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm just starting out.

Your videos have inspired me to let my waves come through!! Hope you have a wonderful day 💖

I’m watching this even tho I have clumps naturally lmao I hope all of you get your desired curls!

Her hair looks gorgeous. Idk if anyone else has 2b/2c fine texture medium density hair like mine but getting clumps is difficult when the individual strands are so thin. If I can get a good cast and shape I'm happy but there's not much to do with naturally 80's style waves except tame them or straighten them which is murder on your hair.

So happy I found your channel! I'm working on my curls and all other girls I found have these popping curls and I was getting down my curls are not working with me! But I love this method and the fact you are training your curls to clump like this, I'll have a go, thank you 🤗 hugs from UK

Beautiful clumps Tabitha. I have trouble getting clumps. My is way too fine and soft.

Great video, you hair looks beautiful, also your voice is just so pleasant I could listen to you talking all day long hahaha

My hair is a lot like yours. I know exactly what you mean about hair doing what it does!

I’ve recently started to get curl clumps when I used Curl Whip by Cake Beauty.

Beautiful! I haven't tried using the praying hands on dry hair. Thank you!!

I used to have problems getting curl clumps too but i found doing 30 mins of deep conditioning after shampoo w a hot head has helped. My hair needs to be moisturized to clump. Maybe that would work for you too.

LOVE your hair, really nice to find someone with same hair type than me !

Love the results.👍

I have the same type of hair! And is difficult to me get that look too. I gonna try these routine, thank you.

Nice, we have kinda similar hair, mine never does the same thing twice either lol love your cut, I need a cut soon :)

You have the exact same hair as me so I love watching your videos!

Looks great 😊

We have the same curl type and length of hair. Im kinda depressed and frustrated to get my hair at the back to get clumped because it's so short. Idk I feel like giving up this process and just straighten my hair out. I get tired and frustrated. I just want to get my hair to look good. Sometimes there's days that my clumps are beautiful, sometimes it's messed up like now.

Your hair looks great

This looks like my hair... in the front. My hair in the back is barely wavy. Some days I find this frustrating, other days I embrace it because it looks like I purposely curled the hair that frames my face. My son got the opposite of my hair. His hair is practically straight on top but he had 3a curls underneath and at the back (his hair is almost shoulder length) his curls also clump with no product and make shiny blonde ringlets, and he doesn’t care. Meanwhile I work at getting my 2a waves to clump.

Girl you're my hair goal! I'm growing put a bob but Id like mine to be about your length. I admit I cheat( I use curling iron/ flat iron to make waves) but im ok wit I go now. You are so pretty! And you new more shares I'll share this on my Facebook.

your hair is awesome ❤

Yeah, they’re good. Especially for 2A or 2b hair. So what do you think it is?

This is really helpful thanks a lot!!!

What is "roping?" It looked amazing before you put the oil in but the praying hands on dry hair appeared to pull the coils a smidge straighter.

Excellent video 💖

I love your videos 😍

have you ever tried wet plopping. i started doing it and it has helped so much with getting good clumps that are hydrated. i do it for probably 5-10 minutes right out of the shower and then micro plop to get out excess moisture and then air dry or diffuse

Omg, so funny. You literally have the same wave pattern and routine for clumps 😁.

Mine naturally clump together. Especially at the nape of my neck in the back.

is it necessary to use that many products? Could I just use a curl smoothie and a mousse?

Aaaaa, sufro viendo que dejes la llave abierta mientras no usas el agua:((( Gracias por el video

Your hair looks beautiful 👍

That curl Volumizing jelly does not help my hair clump at all! It actually breaks up my clumps. Interesting how it works differently on different people and in different climates.

Thanks for this!! Love your hair ❤️

I have the same length hair and I hatteeeee how hard it is to get to back bottom section of my hair to work with me!

i loveeee! how do you refresh your curls?

I can’t help but wonder but does washing your hair upside down actually make a difference and help enhance waves? Seems like such an extra steps but if it does I’m willing to try. Help!?

I haven't watch your other videos yet but will, so im not sure if you tried the denman brush? I have a similar hair type to you and when I use a denman brush it helps me get the best clumps I also use a mini denman and I think that help with getting better clumps then the regular denman brush

omg our hair is almost the same rn but mines slightly curlier becuase i used to have 3a hair before i big chopped it the same length as urs 2 weeks ago out of frustration wit it now my curls have fallen cuz of curl shock 😭

I love your bath tub ❤️

The title confused me. This is short/medium hair?

Your hairs so pretty, and this is very helpful. Do you think silicone free conditioner works better for curl clumping? I like silicone conditioner for frizz control and to straighten my hair, but not sure if it’s good for when I want to go wavy/curly.

Hi Tabitha, this was such a great and informative video! My hair is pretty similar to yours (although my waves are a bit looser) and I’ve been thinking of getting highlights/balayage (similar to what you have rn) but I’m a bit scared that it might chance my hair texture and that it won’t curl up as much. Did you notice a significant change in yours and do you think it’s worth it? :)

Tabitha, I would like to learn some hair styles for wavy hair... Lately I feel boring with my hair down all the time and I don't know what to do in it between washes. What do you do?

What is your porosity!? I feel like I may have found my hair twin! I have 2a high porosity loose S waves.

Do you find the pineapple curls line to be heavy? I’ve been wanting to try it but I love my volume😂 great video!!

GAVE ME ANXIETY SEEING THE WATER RUNNING WHEN NOT BEING USED

my hair tends to stick to my scalp no matter what i do, making it have little to no volume, what should i do?🙏

do you have regular layers in your hair or do you have devat cut?

I have the frizzy hair/baby hair ... What can I use for that? I try to use gel but my hair get so dry and sticky and I don't like it...

How did you make it to clumps?

finally, someone with the same curl (wave) pattern as me 😭

what clarifying shampoo do you use?

I can't get past the upward tone at the end of EVERY sentence!🙉

Wateeeeeer 🥺🥺

Your haircut name please 🥺❤️

do you have layers or deva cut?

Doesn’t high porosity mean it should get wet quicker???
