Wow!! Your curls are so pretty, shiny, and frizz-free that they look unreal!!!

Holy protein! My hair LOVED this treatment! I was scared I would be one of those people that needed to wash it out immediately but not even! The definition I got after this was outstanding! Here I have been adding moisture like a mad women since I have high porosity hair & oh my, game changer for sure! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

You have helped me figure out that my hair 1-doesn’t like glycerin 2-does like protein 3-benefits from more of a swish to condish, than it does from squeezing the hell out of it to STC. 4-may actually survive my 4th attempt to do this Curly Girl thing. THANK YOU!! I’m starting to see a few curls instead of cowlicks gone wild. 🥳 I can’t wait to try this.

Hey Courtney wanted to let you know that I did this treatment to my hair today and holy moly! My hair has been sad looking lately, barely wavy and lasting only a day. After the treatment my hair was even 3a in some sections! People noticed something different with my hair today. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us! God bless you sis!

I just came across this video and WOW I love your results. Your hair is super shiny, bouncy and wavy/curly. I love it!!!!

Tried this! My hair has never been so EASY to finger detangle as when I had this in! Can’t wait to see how it looks dry and styled!

This worked a dream on my waves!!! I have done gelatine treatments in the past and love the hydrate and repair treatment from Shea Moisture. I never thought of putting them together. We have very similar hair texture and porosity. Thanks for posting!!!

I used to have natural curls like your final result. It was so beautiful that people always complimented on my hair and asked if i got it done which i replied with no because i have no time to. But now my hair is so lifeless, dull, dry and basically sad. My wet hair is curly but the next day its pin straight and awful. Im definitely going to try the tips and products you used! Thank you!

I love how natural you are with the camera. Hope you are still doing this

Wow this really helped my hair. I was so scared to do it at first because of your warnings, but it worked so well. Thank you!!

This is the first video of yours that I watch and I love the beautiful way you have to talk and your sense of humor, new subscriber!!!!

I think I could do this pretty much once a week and my hair would be so happy! I won’t, I’m trying to add more and more protein products into my regular wash, but my hair adores a gelatin treatment the most!

Amazing natural haircolor you have, Courtney. Wonderfully Designed !!!!

I did this treatment last night! At first there were some parts of my hair that started to get all snarled, but then I finger detangled and kept it in. My hair is clumping really well, has more defined waves and more volume!

This brought me such joy today! I understand all about your favorite little ringlet being your new best friend! I laughed.

And my hair used to be really wavy and hold its waves or curls all day. Now it doesn’t. I’m seriously glad you explained this I want to fix my hair so bad ! I don’t use heat products or even blow dry it. I think it’s just over conditioned

Wow, now I know what my hair could look like... we have the same hairtyp, waves and curls, but you are taking better care of your hair then me! I will watch some other videos from you to see what products and techniques you use 😉

I did my version of this mask tonight. I used the deep conditioner I typically use (my hair ADORES Cholesterol), and I AM IN LLOOVVEE😍😍 I have done the standard jello treatment before and had decent curl reinforcement, but I didn't think to add a deep conditioner to the mix. You're brilliant. This mask gave me beautiful clumping, amazing pattern definition, and spectacular volume. I'm in the same boat you are when it comes to having fine curly hair, and if you're looking for something that might give you huge volume try a basic Cholesterol treatment. It ALWAYS works for me. SHARING IS CARING! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE!

Your videos are so helpful, thank you! You answered all of my questions in this one, brilliant 👍

You just made me realize what’s wrong with my hair !!!!! Oh wow Thankyou so much. Your hair so shiny and soft looking. Literally incredible. The way professional artists draw hair ! It’s unreal . I would love for my hair too look shiny , wavy and bouncy again. My hair goes down to my butt I think I’m gonna have to cut off a lot to get some body back

Thank you so much darling, very very useful tutorial! I needed it

Thank you for sharing!! I tried this combo for the first time this weekend and my curls and I are like peas and carrots again😊

I love your personality anf your music so much! You’re so nice :)

FYI. Your link to gelatin is the same as the link to blue berry conditioner. Great video that answered a lot of questions I had about this treatment. I feel more confident with all your tips. **especially the one about if your hair doesn't like it. rinse immediatly. Just feel much more comfortable giving it a try. Thanks again Courtney you've always been there with some good info.

Your hair looks phenomenal. Pretty results!

But even the pictures that you describe as limp and lifeless look good!

I love your videos. TFS your tips and wisdom 💕

Loved this video Courtney! So funny when you found your new friend!😁 I am trying it for the first time tomorrow!

Thanks so much for explaining & sharing with us!

Great video as always definitely giving this treatment a go

I just tried this. After 1 year of CG . This gave me the definition I was looking for . I have blond highlighted , high porosity hair. It looks and feels amazing. I followed the protein treatment with a rice water rinse . ( leaving some in) best hair day ever. Caution- my hair loves protein , it can’t seem to get enough..

thankyou for this informative video! so helpful! hugs from australia ♡

Thanks for this video. I couldn’t figure out what happened to my big bouncy curls. They were stringy, frizzy and fell out by day two. This started after my last cut, I expected more curl with less weight! One gelatin treatment and they are back!

The easiest way to dissolve gelayin is to let it sit in cool or room temp water until it soaks it up and then add hot water or something that will melt it. This prevents it from clumping so that all of it dissolves beautifully.

I hate my frizzy hair. Will definitely give this treatment a go. Tfs!

Wow, that worked so well! Your hair came out gorgeous 😍

Beautiful curls 💕

New Subscriber. I decided to subscribe because I like that you include scientific terms and explanations of why a thing works or what a thing is. I just finished the glycerine video and learned a lot. This video was super interesting. I've got gelatin in my cupboard but have never tried it as a hair treatment.

Thank you so much it worked wonders ❤

I just recently discovered your channel. Love your videos and how well you explain things. You are very inspiring and have absolutely gorgeous hair. I tried the Curly Girl method once before, but not for long as I guess I was too impatient and expected immediate results. With that said, I'm learning a lot from you, so thank you! I'm going to give this a try again.

I own the shea moisture mask...did not find that it smells pungent/strong . Anyway, thanks for this amazing recipe!

I love your videos! Subscribed!

Thanks, I will try it out! I have one packet of Knox left that I used for making gelatin but I think I will use it for my hair.

This has given recipe gave me the best wash day! Thank you Courtney!! My hair L O V E S protein

Like your hair color a lot! 😊

Thank you, curl friend!!

Thank you, your tips and details helps to know if doing right by my hair. And I had wondered why when I put a product in that my hair would instantly tangle.

I did it without the deep conditioner. My hair LOVED IT! For reference, my hair HATED the rice water rinse.

Thank you so much. This revived my curls that my stupid self bleach-fried. 🖤

Thank you so much for this video! My hair LOVED it!!!

So informative thanks

Currently waiting for my gelatin to warm up. Wish me luck!

I like short clips for volume clipping. I got so e on Amazon that look like deva clips. I'm doing the gelatin this week!

Just Beautiful ❤

I'm giggling throughout the SOTC. Gorgeous, juicy and clean healthy hair! LOVE it!

Beautiful!!!

great analogy with the mouth wash!! and your hair looks amazing!!! I believe we have similar curl pattern, but my hair is a bit more coarse and medium density - all that to say your recommendations and routine seem to work well for my hair too!

I've always watched her videos, and I noticed that her hair in this video definitely looks curlier. Trying this!

Scrunching out the crunch really IS the best part of washday! I always a little disappointed when I don't get a cast. Lol This treatment worked MAGIC for your hair, girl! Look at that definition! I'm still a little scared to try any dedicated protein treatments (other than a rice water rinse) but I'll definitely keep that Shea Moisture one in mind if I ever get brave enough to try it! ;)

Awesome video! I was just wondering how often you can do this treatment?

Great video thank you!

Using the Sheamoisture protein power treatment alone has same results. I swear by it!

My hot head was just delivered today yay!!!! Sitting here with the deep treatment u used but did not add the gelatin to see if my hair likes it before I do it as u suggested. I am in love with the hot head. It feels so good. Lol

Im trying this right now!. I dont notice a smell to my gelatin. It isnt the same though. I eat a lot of THM, so I had gelatin sitting around from that. I also considered the powdered integral collagen in a similar treatment, but I havent seen anyone use that so I wasnt sure. Im hoping it helps. I always tend to focus on hydration because I live in a dry climate and I think I overdid it and a rice water rinse didnt work. Update: My hair seemed to soak it right up and love it. In fact, when I went to rinse it out, it was as if I hadnt put any gelatin in at all. I also tried a new stylimg product. Well, at least I haven't used it since my pixie days and I never used it right. Now I used it right, emulsifying is the key (which I learn from you, thank you!). It's a taffy, it really does feel like taffy. Im gonna see how it turns out. Cant wait!

I was so afraid to do this but I watched your video and was like “yolo” and went for it. 12 minutes in and I was scared and washed it out. It made a huge difference! Thank you for this video.

Lllooooooovee this and you !!!

I can’t wait to try this! My hair is wayyy over moisturized. I thought the frizz meant I needed more moisture and I’ve wound up over doing it. I’m excited to see if a protein treatment works :)

OK so...this...was...amazing!! I've been hesitant to add much protein to my routine until this video. I'm not even dry yet and I can tell this will be one of, if not my best wash days ever. Strong curl, better clumping, curl higher up my hair strands, more shine and less frizz. Frizz is probably because I can't stop touching my hair! Thanks so much for this (and all) video. Having a 3A day! 😃

Try root clipping horizontally. It works best for this fine,wavy gal.

Hi Courtney I tried this and it really helps curl definition in my hair. Thank you! Can you do a product review on your Uncle Funky's daughter curl stimulator? I'd love to know how much it helps and what it does. Also, do you have hints on how to find hair's porosity? My hair looks like a frizzy dry mess when I do a deep moisture treatment without protein, but my hair is not frizzy generally. I really love how your hair looks and am trying to get my wavy hair to the same healthy wavy look. Also, I have almost 3a curly waves by my face, but the back of my head is like 2a, any hints how to get the curls more defined there? Thanks a million.

Love how it worked for you. Tried it today, we shall see how it turns out. Would love to see rice water rinse! Thanks for all your vids they are full of great info!!

Very nice hair! I have no idea what I'm doing yet but your results look good so I'll try it. Is hygral fatigue something that can happen if you wetyour hair too much with water or just moisturizer?

Love your hair

I've never seen more healthy beautiful hair than yours!! Hair is frizzy and dry . Transitioning into ALL natural shampoo and conditioner that might make a difference but thinking about doing a mild protein treatment to hopefully nourish my hair. Have naturally curly/wavy THICK hair. Also have started wearing a satin cap when sleeping. Trying to start my curly hair journey.. Any tips??

Gorgeous!! Oh my goodness your curls are soo pretty and defined!

I will try this or aPHogee. I just bought 3 types of edible jello love the stuff.

I'm this was Soo helpful

Still watching, but I have to thank you for sharing what hair looks like when it’s in or out of balance of hydration. Makes for a quick study! Thank you 😊

I would say that the Tres Luxe curling cream is way more perfumey than that Shea Moisture deep conditioner

Hey Courtney, I tried this gelatin mask last week! I started the CGM a month ago with nice shoulderlength 2B waves (but thick and coarse hair unlike yours), but was feeling a bit dejected with the longevity of my hairstyling... The waves in my hair would be saggy and weighed out every day in the evening. As a result I would have to wash or refresh every day. That's okay in the summer holiday, but not when real life starts up again! This gelatin mask made a huge difference for me!! My hair holds the shape of the curls much better now, and they seem tighter, even averaging out more towards 2C now. I seem to also have consistently decent day 2 hair, without any kind of refresh whatsoever. Wow!!! The only thing I did differently was that I added the gelatin to the cold water, let it sit for a minute to soak and then microwaved it for a few seconds. It dissolved very easily. Thank you so much for this video and your channel, it's a real inspiration for me!

Hi. I just subscribed to your channel. Will def try this. My hair is similar to yours. For volume, pinappleing my hair overnight really gives me volume. Can you do a video trying the pineapple method ? I'd like to see the results and would love to see what your hair would look like with volume. Thanks for the recipe 😊

I’m having such a horrible time with losing hair all over. I’ve taken vitamins w protein and biotin and silica. No sulfate or other bad stuff in my hair. I brush my hair before I get in the shower then when I wash my rooots it starts the tangles. Then put in the conditioner n run my fingers through it but they get stuck bc of all the knots and I have to be really gentle bc by the time I’m done both my hands are covered on hair. I also use a wet brush after to get the product through to the ends n have hair stuck in there too. When you look at my hair dry in the front Ivan see my scalp and my parts ar very wide. My cowl lick has gotten really flat and it’s right at the back top of my head. I use silk pillow case, sleeping cap. Pineapple. My hair is the same length and texture and curl as yours. I’m just loosing so much hair that I’m ready to go get a wig before it gets too bad. I’m wearing silk scarves to cover up the front. I am sick with autoimmune plus other issues but thyroid and hormones are fine. Please any ideas???

I'm sure you don't have time to answer questions, but if you happen to be able to, I need to know, How do you figure out what your hair needs? When you say it's lacking protein? How do you know? How did you figure out that this product needed you to use it with products with protein and how would I be able to figure it out with mine? I find that nearly ALL products make my hair feel like it has buildup on it. your hair looks soft and bouncy and shiny, mine looks stiffer. My hair looks almost exactly like yours wet, but I cannot get the curls like yours when it's dry. The devacurl sylist gets them, but they still look a bit frizzy. Since they only do devacurl products she doesn't use products without glycerin. We live in the desert, no humidity! So anyway, if you could just point me in the right direction to figure this out, I'd appreciate it. I just love your hair and your personality in your videos!

Not sure you’ll see this since it’s from a year ago but how often do you do these treatments? I did it a few weeks ago & my hair LOVED IT.

Am trying this today! Will Instagram ya my results, if that’s ok?

How often do you do a gelatin treatment each month? I have protein hungry fine high porosity hair.

Thank you for this video! New subscriber, I think we have very similar hair types. I haven't experimented much with protein but maybe it's what my hair needs - I can't tell if it's limp and frizzy because it's dry or because it's too moisturized. Is there an easy way to tell?

Where did you get the heat cap? Interesting, I've been loving Uncle Funky's but thought it WAS the gel. Never would have thought to put gel over that.

Can you say why I would use this vs. a beer rinse vs. olaplex 3? Are there indicators for any of them or can they all help similarly?

Could you please post the recipe in the info area? I keep having to watch the whole thing to remember the formula.😍

Do you know if the formula for the shea has changed? Is it still ok to use or is there something else I should look at? Thanks!

Looks great! I ordered the Orange Marmalade a couple days ago; keen to give it a try. How did this hold up for D2 & day 3?

With the new formula containing wax, would you recommend another alternative?

Wow!

now thats a good hair day 😵

What hair colour you use??actually love your hair colour

Looks great! 🥰 But why does your gelatine smell bad?!? Our gelatine here in Sweden literally smells nothing at all, it’s fragrancefree! I did this two days ago with another protein treatment and it was a good result 💕

I know this video is old but thank you for posting a DIY protein treatment I've been looking for one. I'm not sure how strict CGM you are but the ingredients in the SM Protein Treatment have changed and now have a wax that is not CGM approved or water soluble.

Very good receipt. Going to try that out, but not with the shea moisture power protein masque. This one is unfortunately not Curly Girl Method approved, because of ´Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol´, which sounds good but causes build up , according to Lorraine Messey (curly girl method creator). Can anyone recommend a better product with much protein in it, which means hydrolyzed wheat/ protein needs to be listed further within the ingredients?

Based on what you said when finger detangling, would you say if I use a conditioner with protein, and I end up with hardly any slip and hard to detangling, then my hair is protein sensitive?
