Number 5 is so true but I would add just because someone is a professional hairstylist on KZfaq doesn’t mean they know everything either although they like to speak so dogmatically. Some of the best advice I got that helped my curls were from non-professional curly hair influencers. So don’t let a title fool you.

I watch a variety of influencers to find out how to do my hair. One girl I particularly loved showed how you can wash and style over two days rather than trying to do everything in one day. I was getting tired of spending hours washing, deep conditioning, sitting with the conditioner and then styling all in one day. It was exhausting and her solution was so simple!

It took me about seven years to figure out how to apply product on my thick hair! I was applying it as if I had thin hair. Now that I do it the right way, my hair is so shiny and curly and beautiful!❤

I am definitely guilty to falling into the hair type trap, especially when starting my curly hair journey

As someone who is mixed (East Asian & White) with low porosity 2c/3a hair. I value your input and Manes By Mel. I've learned a lot from you both and I appreciate you, especially with being so transparent, and REAL. You also don't gate keep either, which makes me happy. I started my journey two years ago, close to three now when I lopped my hair off. Due to damaged processed hair, it killed my texture so much, and I was dealing with breakage. Anyways, thank you for being awesome!!

I clutched my pearls when she said number 4 but after listening i was like oh yeah you're absolutely right!

Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. I wish I had known these things earlier on in my curl life. Adding my 2 cents, 100% on the curl pattern note. As a biracial (black/white) gal, I have learned thru many trials and tribulations that it doesn’t mean jack re:your haircare routine. My hair is very soft and fine with multiple textures and high porosity. Most people and brands will push the "heavy product will weigh it down" angle and suggest products that I have learned do nothing for my hair. My hair is high density and constantly thirsty, and being so fine, if it's not sealed properly (I'm talking emollients, baby!), will dry out and lose definition by day 2. And sealing oils are a no go for my super fine hair. While influencers like yourself have helped me tremendously, it was a recent stylist who abandoned my yearslong routine of leave-in/gel and got me using Innersense Hydrating shampoo/conditioner along with their whipped texturizer and NOTHING ELSE! And it has been a revelation. Gel be gone! Products aren't cheap but not having to use 2 products evens it out and my wash lasts for days longer. Long story, too long 😊 I would never have known this was what I needed based on what's out there. Real knowledge and expertise about YOUR hair is critical. Harder to find for some of us but it's possible. In the immortal words of Winston Phillips (you know you love them), the dream is still alive! 😂

I've been guilty of ALL of these at one time or another, but you've taught me well😊

Been there...done that! Just wondering whats your hair porosity type? And can you show make a video of how you refresh your hair?♥♥♥♥

I’m soooooooooo loving your hair how it is rn, the length it’s at right now is my curly blonde hair goals.

Good advice Bianca, thanks

Definitely trust you Bianca and learned that I have done wet frizz even in sections 😩 but add a little more at a time 👍🏾

I enjoyed the video great advice and you have beautiful hair ❤

Also, when are you reviewing the new Curlsmith anti frizz line? The gel alone 😮 really good for slick buns and flat twists. Been my go to since it came out ❤

Wow thank you for this timely video!!! My hair is very fine and I had been heavy handed and wondering why my hair didnt look a certain way. Watching your videos has taught me how to listen to my hair and this one sealed it. Thank you so very much sis!!

Thanks for the great info…guilty of perhaps being influenced to purchase products not good for my hair

I watch you and I have tight 4c hair and I use your products as recommendation and make sure it works for me.

This video is very informative! It’s true when you say don’t follow everyone’s way of doing their hair. Try different methods. My hair is fine with low density as well and if I don’t make small sections to apply product it’ll come out so frizzy. 2 sections won’t do it for me but your hair looks awesome!

Definitely combining, not knowing if i should uses mousse and gel or one or the other.

Great tips! I just did a similar at video!! I pick things from my favs that work for me so like you, I now apply some products in 2 sections. Even though my hair isn’t fine( it’s medium) my density is medium/low so I can do the 2 sides and get coverage like you lol. Makes such a big difference in my time💚

Excellent video!

I've been waiting for a new video of you trying the new Curlsmith frizz control linee. Hope you get to review those ones soon.

Love the list and completely agree sometimes i have to section (3 sections for wash and go's, 4 sections for blow drying) or i can just do two sections like your styling method if I'm using a cream and just make sure every spot covered. I have high porosity, medium density, hair mid-back length, 3c so its curly and bleached+color, also i have sensitive/hypoallergenic skin so im always cautious. I find myself looking more for products to wash my hair with vs styling due to me trying to maintain the color but i do have my bianca approved stash (no silicones or harsh ingredients👐🏻).

Always right on time❣️🫶🏼

love these tips, what works for one won't work for the other.

Thanks for the reminders, especially to not focus on hair type!

Muchas gracias Bianca, tu video me ayudo mucho!!!! 😍😍Es uno de los mejores videos que he visto.

I love this and it helps a lot. I have one question though, what do you think about "wetting" hair with water and a leave-in conditioner mixed instead of plain water?

I definately lucked out!!! I have the exact same hair as Bianca, i do everything the same and get lovely results!!!

I’ve been putting product on damp barely wet hair for years! I have now been applying my leave in/or cream in the shower after I’ve washed it, it’s an extra step but soooo worth it!

Thank you to talk about the gel and how to use it, Rizos curls gel said light hold gel meaning used after difining cream, I almost used by itself.😮

I used to apply the product on not so much wet hair i thought i was directly out of the shower so that should be good enough and it made the world's difference when i started wetting every section

Notifications squad!!

yanc, pls make longer videos 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

Don't listen to influencers, like you 😂. I totally agree.

I am happy that I found my hair twin finding someone with loose curls is hard .

I have thick hair n it's short , I don't know if mousse can work on my hair or what gel is best. Great tips

I try to be lazy and not section. Doesn't really work unless I comb the product through. I don't read the instructions and stuff that much. 😅For some crazy reason, I thought maybe wetting my hair was optional. Nope! I was 'antibrush' for a while and tried to finger detangle, I wasn't thorough enough. Knots would be insane. I bought a tangle teaser for the first time weeks ago and fell in love with the detangling process. So yeah definitely realized that I can't be straying from what works. LOL

Hi! My name is Tonya! I have super thick curly hair and have always been told I have “TV Hair”. I would love to start a business as a curly hair brand ambassador. I love your channel! Would you mind sharing with me how you got started and give me a few tips on how you were able to get sponsors and such? Where do I even start? Thanks so much for your time!

Would love to find a gel that works the best on fine and thick hair

I always put too much product!!

Where did you get that spray bottle?

GOLLY

Hi Bianca, I have an issue that I would need your help to resolve. I grew out my curly hair and When I blowed out my hair for the very first time my hair was extremely frizzy. The blow out only lasted one day. What can I do differently to get better results?

How am I guilty of all of them? 😭😅 I’m a beginner though so at least I’m learning!

I need some help with my daughters hair! I would love to reach out and send you a picture or video in hopes you can give me some guidance.

Also use products for the weather where you live NOT where the influencer lives!
