Your hair looked beautiful curly

The tip that changed my curly hair game is to add some extra gel when your hair is like 80% dry. The volume and definition I get with that is insane

1 always style your hair when it’s wet, and avoid touching and messing with it too much if it dry 2 crunch with a T-shirt not with your hands 3 there is no one way to style curls, it will take you time to figure out what is best for your hair but it’s trial and error - don’t give up! Curls are so beautiful and full of personality

I have wavy/curly hair and right after the shower I wrap it in a cotton t shirt for like 10-20 mins and then I spray detangling spray in it without brushing. After that I use Frizz Ease (it’s in a purple container) and I do the scrunch method and let the rest air dry, it makes rlly pretty defined curls that aren’t super frizzy, hope this helped 😊

Your curly hair is gorgeous!! I think the girl who said that to you was just insecure about herself and took out her jealousy on you.

People with straight hair are so lucky 😢

It’s not the true definition of what trauma actually is but I understand what you’re saying. I straighten my hair. I wore it natural for a good while but I prefer it straight and it’s just easier to deal with.

Your high school friend probably do the same with her hair now aiming for this same gorgeous result ..

My best tip that I didn’t learn until much later in my routine Is to scoop the front peices of your hair up with a claw clip and clip it while it’s air drying so that when your hair drys, it will have a lot of volume and root lift. It’s going to look insane when you take the clip off, but trust me it calms down a bit when you scrunch out your gel cast and in general just fluff out your hair and roots.

Umm I think you actually have like a tight wavey hair type, not like beach waves but tighter waves

Wait, guys you hear that? It’s the world’s tiniest violin.

i remember some kid in middle school made fun of my hair saying that it was too frizzy and too big.. never straightened my hair after that 💀

Beautiful!! I wish I could get my waves look that way!❤

Gorgeous hair xx

Manes by Mell best channel for curly hair

The freedom you will eventually feel from humidity is amazing

Girl your hair always slays and your skin is so clear

I have the same hair. The problem with letting it go curly is after you sleep on it it looks like crap the next day. Where when I straighten it then I get a few days out of the style. Less is more. Stop scrunching so much. I put my products on and comb them through and then scrunch it in a towel and then put the curls in the diffuser and hold them there for a minute or two

Your natural curls are Gorgeous. I'm a stylist. Your beauty came out even more after your diffused scrunched natural hair. You can put gel on wet hair and just let it dry. Run fingers through spritz with curl spray

Please dont call everything a "trauma". This is clearly not what you have experienced.

With those curls!!! Girl You're Breathtaking AF❤❤

You look great with both!

It looks so beautiful curly!!!

i would recommend following Sophie Marie. on her channel she shows the bowl method a lot. it really helped my frizzy hair. i have wavy to curly hair and it got it under control

Your natural hair is so pretty!!!

Well my hair has been parted down the middle since I was around 3, and it was always long and curly. Then my sister said I looked like Hagrid. That’s when I started straightening it 😂 but just last year I began retraining my curls and before that my natural hair was frizzy and the curls/waves were all so different, but now I finally wear my natural curly/wavy hair out

EEEEK !!! so so so pretty !!! 🤍

OMG i love your curls

Gorgeous curls!

can we stop using the word trauma for everything. I’m sure it wasn’t fun that people spoke to you that way, but i doubt it’s trauma that you were told your hair is frizzy and poofy. the word is thrown around so easily nowadays:/

Soooo beautiful!!!

You are gorgeous with or without hair 💓

you’re so pretty!

I suggest doing a fishtail braid when your hair is a bit damp, you could do hat early in the morning and have it for a few hours, or what I do is I sleep I it, then when I take it out in the morning it shows off my individual curls and doesn't get super tangled overnight

When you’re taking out the crunch from the gel, apply a hair oil to the palms of your hands then do the squishing motion. Helps with any frizz you may get from losing the crunchiness !

YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS

I have wavy hair, but straight hair is easier to maintain😂

so pretty!

Your hair looks really nice curly. I sleep with a hairnet (oldfashioned kind, used by old women many years ago to keep their perm in place). Next morning I wet my hair a little and add a little bit of moisture cream or curl cream. I also try not to wash my hair too often (mostly using cleansing conditioners).

Bro this video is explained my entire life 😭

I recommend using a deep conditioner for extra moisture to keep those curls hydrated and soft because if you’re hair is fizzy that means there is not enough moisture in you’re hair so using a deep conditioner can help with frizz

We’ve all been there. Congratulations on embracing your curls. Your hair is gorgeous.

You’re beautiful curly. Push out of your comfort zone you’ll end up loving it ❤ That girl was miserable within herself and wanted you to join her.

The key to curls is the drying process. When you wash your hair and get out the shower add curl cream to your hair and with let it air dry. If you’re going to use the diffuser try not to point the dryer straight up at your hair so it doesn’t cause flyways. Try not to touch your hair too much while its still wet since it causes frizz. If your curls are frizzy while your hair is wet, it will get once once your hair dries.

Your hair is beautiful and like you I had the same problem, I always hated my hair until I found ways to style it. To help you first find products made for your curly hair type. The brands Coconut Curls, Texture ID, Function of beauty, and Miracle Curls. All of those products work great.

So glad I gave up straightening daily! Curls rock ❤😊

get shampoo conditioner and products like leave in conditioner that are specifically for curly hair and get a curly hair brush and hair towel there is this company/brand called love ur curls and they sell stuff for curly hair i have curly hair and i use theyre leave in conditioner brush and hair towel i used to use the shampoo and conditioner too but i ran out and js never got it again but it’s really good and i highly recommend it🤭

The only thing I would say is js make sure it’s soaking wet when styling bc that really helps the curls clump better

Can you do a more in-depth curl routine when you figure out what works for you? I have curly hair too, and it’s the kind that when I brush it it puffs and looks like a lion’s mane. It was always super tangled when I was a kid and I have memories of crying and screaming as my mom tried to run a brush through it.

create curl clumps then diffuse! i can’t really think of a way to describe how to do them but there are tons of tutorials! then you diffuse your hair. Once the are dry pull the clumps apart. hope this helps!

Ngl if someone ever call my hair poofy or frizzy I’d be like “And your hair looks like you……. Flat💀”

On KZfaq and social media, I like to watch Manes By Mell and Gena Marie. They both have really great tips! There's no one size fits all so depending on certain factors (the hair's porosity, density, and texture) you decide what products to get. It's a lot of trial and error. Don't get discouraged from the way it looks now cuz your hair is heat damaged. As it gets healthier, it'll look less frizzy, more defined etc.

Omg I’ve always wanted your natural hair all my life sooo bad!!!!! it’s so beautiful girl😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Your hair is so pretty

You look so pretty with and without you’re curly hair ❤

"Unhealed childhood trauma" girl-

As an Asian surrounded by straight haired people and with a family that has straight hair, I always thought something was wrong with me. Cause I had super straight hair when I was a child and it started becoming frizzy and poofy when I started college. So I just did straightening treatments cause I thought it was easier. But I am also trying to unlearn being straight hair and trying to embrace my curls. Haven't found a routine that works for me yet, so the journey continues. 😊

here is my non-fussy wave/curl routine! my hair is more fine (not thin, but fine) like yours. I use the Not Your Mother’s curl talk shampoo and conditioner or just Olaplex shamp/condish in the shower and leave my hair pretty sopping wet when I get out- generally, if there is frizz when it’s wet, there will be when it’s dry too. “Plop” in a microfiber towel or cotton t shirt for 10 mins, then rake through a curl cream (Not Your Mothers, or VERB) and brush with the Denman brush. Turn head upside down and “glaze” using prayer hands with gel or mousse (I prefer gel, Not Your Mother’s or AG) over hair then scrunch by gently bringing the hair up towards the scalp, firmly squeezing your palm and gently letting it back down. After that, flip back up and try to touch your hair as little as possible during the drying process. I gave a very in depth description lol but after showering this all takes me under 10 mins. Let me know if you want to know more about brush styling the individual curl clumps! But that gets pretty fussy lol. Manes By Mel has lots of great product recommendations and styling tips, but her hair is a lot more coarse than yours so she tends to use a lot more products and get super ringlets. I find I get the best result with more conservative amount of product so the hair isn’t weighed down. Enjoy this novel from an enthusiastic curly girl!

Curly hair brightens up your face and vibe so much

Girl there’s people that wish they had that hair! Embrace it and style it!💖

It’s gorgeous

You hair is so pretty curly

i have curly hair and the number one thing to do is have a good and fluent hair care routine like shampooing twice, condition, oil, etc. but NEVER EVER brush your hair when dry bcs it can get super puffy and frizzy and I would definitely recommend the curl gel from PATTERN !! hope this helped!!

Thats my issue with my curly hair too. It sometimes feels easier just to straighten it than doing the whe diffuser thing. And my reaults of diffusing never look as good as straightened hair even when its not as sleek

Girl, your eyes are awesome

It looks so good also brush the inside not the top when you brush I have curly hair and just learned that

Love your natural curly hair. Manes by Mel is your best curly hair expert on KZfaq and instagram she covers all things curly hair 👌💕

I love your hair!

I’d say definitely try like a very light weight strong hold gel I like the one from ouidad and try to rake and scrunch your hair in sections when it’s dripping wet to make clumps. Good luck you look amazing with curls :))

your curly hair is Beautiful! I have curly hair and I had the same struggle in high school.

im sorry but a girl calling your hair "goofy & frizzy" caused unhealed trauma...

I totally relate to this!!! After chemically straightening my hair every year for almost a decade I finally started to grow my curls back and I too am slowly unlearning that only straight hair makes me feel pretty.

Wow you look so beautiful with your natural curls ❤

Buy this product, it's called "kinky curls". Directions for how to use it are on the jar. I put it in when it's a little wet after showering by getting some on my palms and finger tips and crunching my hair. After that I let it air dry or dry with a diffuser. Try it!

I love it when my hair goes poofy, I find it so hard to style so I just decided to keep it the way it is

You look beautiful ❤

This is a great routine if you are starting out. The main thing I would add is make sure to scrunch with an oil when your hair is dry. That way, you are going to get the crunch out without the frizz. Hope this helps!

Turned out great! I get the best results when I use "the bowl method". I'll usually do that at then "plop". I use a t-shirt to dry my hair. I LOVE the curl line from livingproof

Me personally i like using a mousse instead of a gel cus it makes my hair softer and have more volume but i would recommend using a oil to break the crunchy curls and i personally like using a curly brush if i straighten my hair as it gives it more definition and trains ur curls

I am so jealous. Your hair is GORGEOUS! I have stick straight hair (unless it's humid. Then it gets a little wavy.) I would LOVE to have curly hair! But then I'd have to get a perm which I'll probably do. (My profile pic isn't me. It's what I wish my hair looked like!)

As someone with frizzy curly hair what worked for me is not washing conditioner after applying it and then going one with a leave in conditioner or a curl styling cream( I use the one from sunsilk)

i feel so bad for people like this. in my culture curly hair like this is preferred. on the other hand i've never straighten my hair. i can't imagine not having my curls. so much personality

I love your curly hair. It is so gorgeous ❤️💖🥰💐

i have the same problem as well😭 i have no idea how to style it and usually just use heatless curlers

I say don’t scrunch to much it does make the curl go away and if your using moose or gel let it kinda sit then go in with your diffuser. And with the diffuser do the roots and let the rest air dry it does help with the curl pattern and helps keep the curl pattern the same 😊

Manes By Mell is your go to KZfaq channel, I learned all my curly secrets from her

If you’re looking for curly hair tips and tricks I would 100% recommend Manes by Mell, she has videos covering pretty much everything you could ever need to know about and I trust everything she says 😊

This is the realest thing I’ve heard all day

Trauma 💀💀💀 I'm cracking up rn pls

Ive had even little girls ask me WHY I dont brush my hair-insinuating that its out of whack, they just dont get it

I love love your Curly hair so pretty 😊❤

You are very pretty. I think you'd look good in any hairstyle

Use silk pillowcases it will help with friz ❤

U look beautiful in curly hair ❤

I'm trying to unlearn hating my curly hair too. My ex best friend in middle school always told me that I looked like I just woke up and that I should straighten my hair to "look better". So I've been damaging my hair for a decade and now I decided to never straighten my hair ever again

You look like an angel

I have super straight hair and I would absolutely love to have your curly hair 🥺

Aussie is the way to go, and half up half down are really good so are braids!

Omg we have similar hair texture!! What I’ve found is to put some cream and a lot of gel and then brush style (wrap your hair around a brush) in about 1 inch sections around your head. I usually do about 8-10 on each side. Then gel and gently scrunch and hairspray and air dry or diffuse (gently). My curls look like they are done with an iron but last for days! Good luck!

Your hair is beautiful ☺️😊
