I get asked that all the time.

MEEE lol

I used to get asked that all the time in high school once I started taking better care of my hair lmao

How to control frizz suggests some good products

Same

Same!!

​@@laibaaaamir deep hair oiling 1× a week helps. Avoid harsh chemicals, try switching to natural products.

@@FeelIslam7 yes mustard oil doesn't suit me I used hemani herbals hairoil it's best for me

People are being rude about her appearance?! How!? She and her hair are GORGEOUS!

she’s agreeing to their point lol. That was an old photo and she learned what worked for her and realizes that color doesnt complement her skin tone

As an artist who knows colourtheory etc, yes, the lipstick would‘ve looked perfect if it was a bit more on the orange side of red, but it doesn’t look that bad like that person made it out to be wtf

@@Fatima.ameen3She replied to the comment and was not agreeing.

Yes she is…lol just explained how her hair struggles to absorb products…look at her hair before to a person not familiar with hair they could assume it’s straight… There is no “proper product” to create curls besides a perm..:. Products will never “create curls” so I’m not sure who you’re supposed to be calling out with this

@@jerm-gv9rv there are products that will DEFINE curls. Someone like me with straight hair can use this and it will help give volume, or a small wave/curl, but it always returns straight, for curly haired girls it will define the curls, and usually change the pattern. You can see this change with wavy haired girls, and tighter curl girls. For wavy hair those products may make the hair tighter, for tighter curls it makes the coils appear looser. Shes adding the proper products that doesnt do any of that. Its helping her hair hydrate and revealing her natural texture If it weren't dry. Perms force the hair to change textures drastically, and makes it last longer. I hope that makes sense. I wasnt calling anyone out, i was confirming that was her real hair texture

@@-Secret ohh sorry I understand now

​@@-Secretcurl-defining products cannot give waves on straight hair. It just means your hair is wavy and the products are defining it. It cannot change your hair structure. Know the meaning of 'defining'?

But even if she did, what’s the issue with that?

Me too! Straight hair till puberty, then curly hair now after a baby, it’s been growing in only slightly wavy. Hormones are crazy!

I had curly hair as a toddler and now I have straight hair

Me too! It was fully straight my whole life.... Until I was 14. At 14 my hair started getting curlier and curlier.

My hair has been fluctuatining my whole life! From curly to barely wavy and back about three times now in 28 years.

My hair is wavy and I think its porosity is not as low as in the video but it's... down there lol. It's fine-textured and medium-thick. The color darkened in my preteen years. There is a "whorl" near the nape of my neck that has stumped a few cosmetologists. My hair also tangles easily, like it'll be perfectly combed out and then a couple little pieces just meld together at random. And my hair looooves humid weather- the color brightens a little and gets fluffier. It holds a curl very well- I've used the narrow curler rods overnight + some spritzes of water to give myself a full head of ringlets. And the curls will stay until I wash my hair. So I'd be interested to see what I can do with its purest, rawest natural texture. For some reason it never occurred to me to seek products for wavy hair.

Lmao you're just saying that because of the comment she pinned saying her lipstick didn't go with her skin color 😂

I also have experienced a change in hair texture with pregnancy. My hair were too flat and smooth earlier… now they look fuller with a slight wave

OMG..thank you for this comment. I wasn't aware hair textures can change. My hair went from slightly wavy to medium wavy for the last 2 years. It made me question everything about my hair.

Thank you, that's what I was wondering bc I have issues with Shea butter for my curls too! Wonderful!

You can’t use Shay butter unless you got 3 hair type or higher it’s to heavy for loose curls. You can however like nice a month do an overnight hair oil that you wrap your hair in plastic to keep the oil in. Next morning do the wash routine. You’ll thank me later. And also no HEAT. No curling irons…. Flat irons. NOTHING. The curls will love you.

Do you leave it dry naturally?

Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you! My hair looks almost exactly like yours! I too am using shea and it makes my hair look frizzy. Hopefully I can get my hair to look as awesome as yours one day! ❤

Duh. Curls are just better.

I think it’s because her hair no longer looks frizzy/damaged now that she knows how to care for it.

Does she/you let your hair dry naturally? I have poofy hair down to waist. If I blow dry it without straightening it it expands enormously. I have zero clue about product but this might be the start of my journey!

@@Smashingblouse i do let it air dry, but that’s not all (though if you are going to blow dry, use a diffuser, it’s a game changer). my biggest tips to figure out if treating your hair like it’s curly will help are 1) wear your hair in a ponytail on top of your head like a pineapple when you go to sleep to prevent squishing the curls (and pin up the pieces that are too short for that), and 2) only detangle with your fingers in the shower with conditioner in, as opposed to brushing/combing out of the shower or when your hair is dry. if this stuff makes a difference, i recommend looking up the curly girl method for more info! good luck :)

@@plushdragonteddy thank you!

Hiii I’m type 3b and I have low porosity hair will it work on me?

I'm Type 4 with low porosity hair and my hair breaks with their products.

Can someone please educate me

I am not a fan of their products either. I have both types 2 and 3 hair 🙄 diff hair at crown and underneath. Fun!

Protein treatments like aphogee 2 step helped me, every 4-5 weeks.

@@Mariaaaaaaaa213 alright ty! currently i’m using moisturizing shampoo and leave in conditioner plus some other products is that good?

honesty i think you should do a big chop , and use more natural products like raw shea butter etc.

@@mequiero1 i’ve shaved my head 2 times already so i don’t rlly know about big chop. my parents are against me cutting my hair too short

@@sol1vi hmm are you relaxing it ?

I’m Indian and I’m so grateful for black girlies for helping me find my curls! I watched a lot of black content creators when starting my curl journey and it was so helpful ❤❤

@@drooooopthanks for giving the credit where it’s due❤

Wait...she's brown?!? 😮 I must be color blind

@@PHOTofiliA yeah you’re blind. She’s clearly Indian💀

​@@PHOTofiliAshe's not brown but that's how black people like to compliment other people of other racial backgrounds or nationalities 😅. I also don't see her as brown, she is clearly mixed and mostly white, olive skin tone. But what can we do ?

Same

Me too

I thought I was the only one who faced that. Lol. And I do mistake my hair for straight hair.

wavy hair is annoying cause you gotta dab in everything, but it'll get better if you use them

Yeah I never knew low porosity hair needed lighter products which makes sense cause I tried using heavier products for a “better” result and good lord did I look like a grease ball 😂😂 but my hair does exactly what hers did in the shower I have to physically manipulate it and scrunch it to get it all wet so this was super helpful. And I’m right there with you, it’s relieving to know we have textured hair and not just frizzy fluff balls on our heads 😂

*THIS!!!!!!!!*

Yess... same

i wash my hair once a week with aussies coconut curl shampoo and conditioner then i let my hair air dry some and use aunt jackie’s quench leave it while still wet but not soaking then i use the praying hand method to apply treseme air dry cream praying hand shea moistures curl smoothie then i apply auncle funkys daughter curly magic gel overtop all with praying hands, all avoiding the top of my head/roots/scalp, and i rub the products into my hands first before applying so it’s all over from palm to fingers let hair air dry

@@malarkymackeral thanks 😊

She has CURLSMITH - Bond Curl Rehab Salve ❤

I recommend starting off with the Aussie miracle waves products. They're inexpensive and easy peasy, all in one shelf. Grab you a shampoo, conditioner, and a gel or mousse. Try the bowl method (there are many videos) and yes, a diffuser really helps 🙂

Yeah, those never worked for mine either.

X60

Yes please I wish she would post her routine

Pretty sure one was Curlsmith. They have fantastic products!

Me too!!! My hair has a very similar wave pattern. I often just force it to curl with gel and a lot of moose and a lot of scrunching........ But I would love to know what you're using so it could be easier on me and my hair! 😊

third comment she mentions them. go look.

Same

thinly veiled gatekeeping

Same. I used to want curls or even waves. I used to try. Eventually I grew up and realized I'm blessed to have what I do - extremely low-maintenance hair that doesn't require any special stuff or care, which saves me time and money.

Tell uss plz!!

I have to give this a try, I love my hair after being in a bun overnight, but it does become frizzy 😢 I haven't found any product that works for the frizz without having to do a long routine that I just won't bother doing most of the time..

yes thats so interesting because it ruined my hair too. my hair was so rough and dry, it felt like sandpaper after using shea moisture.

How can you find out the porosity of your hair?

@@imden.stake a piece of hair and put it in water. I believe if it absorbs and sinks, it’s high porosity. If it floats, it’s low (takes a long time to get wet) and if it’s in the middle (medium)

Honestly, I just trial and error. Some products are too heavy, some don't do anything. Some don't work if I put too much or too little. Even if I knew some exact measurement of the porosity of my hair, I'd still have to try out the products lol

@@imden.s curly hair - high porosity (You kinda have to have high porosity due to the bends of the hair follicles). straight hair - low porosity usuallyt pososity- pores in your hair follicles-like pores in your skin. So think logically. High porosity means more holes-which means water goes in your hair quickly but also leaves it even faster. Low porosity would be the opposite. Slow to take in, but also slow to escape. basically the difference between a pasta strainer vs a coffee filter. High porosity hair tends to have more damage in general because moisture retention is low. However hair COLOR is also a contributor to hair strength. Lighter hair colors will absorb more UV rays, reflect more light, etc and grow weaker more quickly. Another factor to consider is your follicle shape. Nearly every human on this planet has the same follicle shape though east asians have a tendency for a rarer follicle shape that lends to often stronger and thicker hair strands. then there's genetics and diet. how much oil does your scalp produce because that can either help or inhibit you. Oil may help keep that water moisture in if you have high porosity, but in low porosity hair, this can be a significant issue and you should wash it more often.

I wonder if maybe you are letting you hair dry too much before you apply product? As soon as I get out of the shower I ring my hair out and throw a tshirt over my hair and twist up my hair for about 15 mins. Any longer than 20 and my hair is too dry and the product I use ends up making my strands frizzy. Like when I scrunch in my curl cream my hair has dried too much so the little sections of waves aren’t thick like they would be if my hair was wet. Does that make sense? But when my hair is more wet and I scrunch in my curl cream, serum and oil (all separately) while my hair is more wet so the strands of waves are thicker and more clumped together, I notice that as my hair dries the waves are way more defined since the little sections of waves were bigger when I applied product. I hope this all made sense, otherwise I’m sorry for typing so much 😂😂😂 basically try doing your product routine but with a little more water in your hair than normal. And if this doesn’t help I’d reassess the products you’re using. I’m assuming you’re white from your pfp so I also assume your hair may be on the finer side. Unless of course you’re ginger and have hay for hair 😂 Courser hair definitely needs a thicker curl cream but lighter serums/oils. Also a nice heavy silicon conditioner would do wonders! If your hair is on the finer side (doesn’t matter how thick or thin/how much hair you have, just the actual strands of hair) then a lighter curl cream, no serum and plenty of light oils like olaplex or jojoba would do wonders! You can apply the oils while your hair is wet and then gently finger some thru once your hair is dry just to try and define some more pieces. Again I hope this helps and I apologize for typing a book 😂 good luck!!!

Ooh another thing, I constantly switch out my shampoo and conditioner based on what my hair seems to need. Some days I do Joico KPak reconstructor along with the Joico Moisture Masque, for bond reinforcement and hydration. Some days I do Matrix Megasleek and that line is LOADED with silicones my hair feels like glass after I use that shampoo and conditioner, but they are quite heavy so I don’t use them often since my hair is on the finer side. But when my hairs feels dry and a little unmanageable the Mega Sleek is 🤌🤌🤌 Then I will sometimes switch to Pattern for coily hair as it’s made for low porosity hair and it’s nice and light but very hydrating, my curls always looks fluffy and shiny after I use those products. Then my last two faves are the redken acidic bond reinforcement line as well as the L’Oréal acidic line. L’Oréal is owned by by redken so the formulas are essentially identical while L’Oréal is way more affordable (and it smells amazing) I switch between all these shampoos and conditioners based on what my hair needs depending on if it’s a little dry if it’s seems to be snapping off if it’s too greasy etc etc. I rarely changed my curly products out of the shower though, I use Joico zero heat crème for course hair since I do have very bleached hair I wanted something a bit heavier, then I switch between olaplex 6 & 9 depending on if I’m gonna be heat styling my hair or not. 6 for natural, 9 for heat styling, then I will use dreamcoat wow spray for heat styling, and always finish off before and after heat with some olaplex 7 and occasionally Sebastian dark oil if I do curls.

Idk if it’s clickable but I put my linktree in my bio!! But basically I use lots of curlsmith & not your mothers products :)

What

What?

@@Moxie_life just that my hair and her hair before using the right products look awfully similar
