Hi Monica! What kind of hair straightener did you use on this video? Look so good.

Her skin looks pretty clear though

Her skin is flawless though just oily.

It's genuinely validating to see content creators being themselves, unfiltered!

Specifically seeing them be gorgeous and confident because it helps you feel it too! I had to go on acutane for cystic acne when I was 25 and I'm curvy. Seeing content creators with my body type or skin struggles being gorgeous and styling themselves helps me figure out how to highlight myself my best!

Thanks for the tip! I tried that I couldn’t quite get it to be as straight as I want it to be with the round brush for some reason 🥲 I think my hair is just really thick

makes sense!! my hair is pretty thin so thats probably why, your hair is gorgeous curly and blown out

​@@makeupbymonicaamy hair is very curly and i have more luck straightening with a pattle brush when my hair is wet. The wetter the better.

​@@makeupbymonicaaI did hair for many years, here's what I'd recommend. Usually, just using your fingers and a dryer will work best for straightening the roots. You can just grab the hair between your fingers, stretch the hair, and use heat blowing away from the roots, towards the ends. Go in with your fingers apart (pretend they're comb teeth) then close them to get tension. Once it's dry, the curls/wave will be pulled out. Then go in with round brushes or attachments. Your technique of following up with the flat iron is great too! Using your hands may give you more options for root direction and volume

I have 3c/4a hair! I’ve tried dream wow but never kept my hair straight, especially in humidity! I will definitely try again now though!

@@Maria.Aurelia You need to activate the product with heat via blowing out your hair. If you don’t know how to properly round brush your hair it probably won’t work. I am a straight natural so my hair has gotten pretty used to the product and always stays straight regardless of humidity until I wash it however it works wonders for me even my first time. When you round brush your hair use a nylon bristle round brush that is ceramic and thermal. Don’t use too many other products with it. Only use a lightweight leave in conditioner and then you really need to drench your hair in dream coat before blowing it out.

@@ashlaraque4135 I know about the heat activation and yeah I recently heard I have to drench my hair in it! I’ll be mindful about the leave in conditioner too! ~I also like to keep my hair straight! I’ll try it out again thanks for the tips!

@@ashlaraque4135i have straight hair naturally that just ends up wavy in some areas and frizzy in humidity. Any tips how to use this spray to work well? And does it last more than a wash?

So your saying if I use this after warming my hair up then curl. The curls will stay stay? (My hair is wavy straight, thick coarse, silky (very annoying to braid cuz it slips out)

I dry my hair immediately after I shower n my roots are always frizzy n curly, and my hair isn’t usually curly (its mostly straight) just the roots 🙈

It's interesting. My wavy hair kinda looks like her end result in this video (just 10 times more frizzy 💀), but I'd prefer to have her natural curls. If I had her hair, I'd leave the curls as they are.
