It's been so difficult, managing life, family, and unruly curly hair!! Starting CGM few months ago, has been a savior for my hair, but its a long process, understanding the needs of my hair, trying to maintain that moisture-protein balance without properly knowing about it! Thank you Marissa for helping me through this journey, for helping me embrace my natural hair, and quite making me wear that dress or embrace my natural skin texture! ! ❤❤❤❤

I thought I was in protein overload but I’ve narrowed it down and think it’s actually coconut oil and/or aloe so I’ve removed those products and will see how I go adding protein. Thanks Marissa ❤

Very helpful descriptions of how to tell what my hair needs. This is the trickiest thing for me to “get” so I always make sure that between my shampoo & conditioner and styling products there is a mix of both moisture and protein. Love Curlsmith to help know which products to use and that the different linesman work together.

Hi Marisa! Can I please ask you a question about masks? How often should one do a protein mask and also then a moisture mask? How do you decide on something like that? I've heard wavies say they do a moisture mask one week and protein mask the other week.. some do a protein mask every 2 weeks or once a month .. I'm just a bit confused about that.. thanks for another great video!🌹🌹
@MarisasCurls3 жыл бұрын
I don’t think it’s something that anyone can say how often you should do them. It’s massively different from person to person. I actually hardly ever deep condition, maybe twice or 3 times a year. I do use the bond curl more often but still not super often. I find I can tend to keep my hair balanced through my washdays these days. And some people with dry, thirsty hair would need to deep condition weekly whereas for others (like me) that would be a disaster. So all I can say is trial and error is the best way to figure out what your hair needs
@reneeshenk19143 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the helpful video, as always! I love the shelf layout/decorations behind you, Marisa. So cute and chic! Do you ever experience flash drying with any of the products in the protein line? My hair typically likes protein except that I experience flash drying with the Bounce Curl creme gel so I'm curious if you've ever had that.
@MarisasCurls3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! The bouncecurl gel does that to me too but I still love the final results. I don’t find any of the curlsmith protein line gives me flash drying though. Flash drying is not necessarily a bad thing as long as the final results are good 😃

Hi, I have very fine hair and it hates protein. If I use a product with protein more than 2 times I start to notice my curls get stringy and angry and less curly. So I’ve learned to use on protein free products and only very occasionally use a deep conditioner with protein (once every 2 months or so). The rest of time I use a protein free deep conditioner (once a week). My hair seems to respond better with occasional protein in deep conditioners; it doesn’t seem to like protein in styling products
@MarisasCurls3 жыл бұрын
That’s absolutely brilliant because you have managed to work out your own balance
@Larea812 жыл бұрын
Lovely video! My is very fine, but it does not do well with much protein. For whatever reason, my hair becomes wonky, dry, tangly, won’t clump, and loses its curl pattern. I have finally learned to use a bit of protein in either my cleanser, conditioner, or leave-in (with protein free stylers). However, I still struggle with getting many protein-containing stylers to work for me. I have (too many) purchases I would love to put to use! Do you have any suggestions?

I have a 6yr old daughter with curly hair and I've been following you for a while to learn more about how to keep her curls healthy. I need to switch up our products but it's VERY important to me to use clean, non-toxic body care products in our home. I can't find curlsmith on the EWG site for health rating. Do you have another brand you recommend that you know is toxin free?
@jennyfagan53142 жыл бұрын
Coming back to say I went straight to their website. I'm comfortable trying them. If she has what I believe to be a need for moisture AND protein, what are some simple steps to get started?

Yes I would be confident recommending them to you, they are lovely clean ingredients. You could actually take the quiz on their website to get their recommendations for her hair.

@MarisasCurls3 жыл бұрын
Some hair types need some extra moisture added the second day, so a little water and leave in to refresh might be enough. Or maybe you need to deep condition but just don’t overdo it. Do it once and see what happens. No need to do it every week unless your hair seems to need it

@MarisasCurls2 жыл бұрын
It sounds like it’s loosing moisture quickly. Perhaps sealing your hair with a drop or two or oil could help seal that in. And deep conditioning could help too if you don’t do that already
