Wavy!

Hey there. 2b 2c is wavy. Did you mean to say 3b-3c? The 2s are wavy, the 3s are curly, and the 4s are coily.

@@theOGLC gosh you’re right, i hadn’t looked at the chart for quite some time. I’m like 2c/3a actually, now that i look at it again. sorry for the confusion, and thanks for pointing that out.

I fixed it

hey is leave in conditioner optional?

You should wash your hair as often as you feel like. You can wash them everyday if you feel like you should. The best thing to do is to have a container, jar or something, put some shampoo in it, add water and shake it till it bubble. Wash just scalp, then the rest of it will eventually get into rest of your hair. As conditioner you should look for emollient conditioner (oils, waxes, silicones, mineral oils, lanolin). This will protect your hair from moisture loss etc.. Just watch your hair, how they react. Note: if your hair are damaged look for glycerine, aloe, honey, sugar, urea (basically humectants) and proteins (keratin, milk, silk, wheat, collagen, elastin).

@@parevi1269 hi! I think my hair's like 2Aish? How often should I comb it?

@@nini-qc1qd when you are inside as often as you feel like (3-5 hours, it depends on condition of your hair, air moisture etc.), when you are outside especially when it's windy or rainy the best thing to do is tie your hair. If you want define your waves don't brush it when dry.

@@parevi1269 oh my god you're a gem!!! The thing is that my hair sometimes looks kinda straight, but after washing, if I don't comb it, it has loose curls...so it must be kinda curly? I'm spiralling here man ngl. Is there anyway I could know the type of hair I have? I think it's somewhere between 2A and 2B but I'm not sure. Again, thank you a lot!!

​@@nini-qc1qdHey ik I'm here after an year... But i recently found out about cgm and my hair is 2A-ish.... Since you have the same type...can you lemme know how you have been managing ur hair?

Get a silk/satin cap or just a scarf

Get a satin bonnet & pillow case

Silk pillow case

She uses the Estel Hair Styling Gel Strong Hold AIREX. But if that's too expensive for you, lmk and I can give you some recommendations to try

I've heard that Aussie Instant Freeze is a great one. I haven't tried it yet, but will. :)

Because it damages your hair overtime

it‘s also nice to embrace your natural hair

@@ES-sv1gu but it’s not really natural when you have to do all those steps. That’s still the same concept as doing heatless curls only takes way longer

@@melissawaggoner7509 It actually is - have you ever looked how much work people with super curly hair have to put into their curls? You cannot really treat wavy/curly hair the same way as straight hair and expect it to look nice. This method with scrunching etc is also used by people with extreme curls. Also hair is not just straight or curly, it‘s a whole spectrum with a lot inbetween. „Real“ straight hair (1a) is pin-straight without the need for any effort like heat. However there are many people with „straight“ hair that will complain that their hair is frizzy/bushy and gets a lot of volume and is wavy or out of control as soon as it‘s raining for example - these are the poeple that actually do have soft waves (1c, 2a, 2b). If you google „wavy/curly girl method“ you will find tons of people sharing the stories of finding very late out that their hair is actually wavy/curly - it‘s quite a big thing actually. Also it‘s a process - if someone straightened the hair for 20 years, the hair will need time to go back to the wavy/curly pattern, so usually the waves/curls improve a lot within 6-12 months.

@@ES-sv1gu ok well I just mean don’t do all that work? If you really wanted to be natural then just leave it alone and then that’s the hair you have. Doing all that stuff is still styling it so it really doesn’t matter. If you just wash and condition it then that’s the hair you have. Whatever it looks like. Anything else after is styling.

She never claimed to have curly hair...?

@@claripossum2079 And waves are a type of curl just a looser curl. So even if she did she wouldn't be wrong

Waves are a curls type

the curl police is at it again

@@nyx348 im not a curl police lmao im just stating whats true

Frizzy doesn't meant wavy. Frizzy means individual hairs are breaking midway or re-growing entirely because the previous hair fell out and so the hairs are short- and mid-length and sticking out all over the place.
